The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express Royal Docks

Smart, modern comfort near the O2 and ExCel

Located in East London's buzzing Docklands area, Holiday Inn Express Royal Docks offers a clean, modern stay just steps from Canning Town Station. With easy access to the O2 Arena and ExCel Exhibition Centre, this hotel is a great base for concert-goers looking to catch a show and crash somewhere comfortable.

The hotel features air-conditioned rooms with power showers, tea/coffee-making facilities, and Freeview TVs. Guests love the handy on-site parking, 24-hour reception, and daily free breakfast – all in a location outside the congestion zone.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re just a 10-minute drive from the ExCel Centre and around 20 minutes to the O2 Arena. With Canning Town Station only 0.1 miles away, late-night Underground connections are a breeze. The area is quieter than central London, which means a more peaceful night’s sleep after the encore. Plus, the 24/7 front desk means you can check in late or roll in after the gig without stress.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading to a gig together
  • Solo travelers ticking a dream artist off their list
  • Couples making a weekend of it near the river
  • Fans who want an easy, quiet place to recharge
  • Budget-conscious music lovers looking for value and convenience

Food and Drink Options

You’ll start the day right with a free daily breakfast, served fresh each morning – ideal after a late night. While there’s no full restaurant, the on-site bar offers drinks and light snacks. And thanks to the close proximity to Canning Town, you'll find plenty of walkable dining spots nearby for pre- or post-concert meals.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself keeps things mellow, you're well connected to East London’s vibrant nightlife. Hop on the Jubilee Line and reach bars and clubs in Shoreditch or central London in under 30 minutes. Prefer a chill vibe? Grab a drink at the hotel bar before winding down.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the hotel’s location near the O2 and ExCel, its clean, spacious rooms, and the friendly staff. Many reviews mention the free breakfast as a bonus and appreciate the easy access to public transport.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the immediate area around the hotel is more functional than scenic – but what it lacks in charm, it makes up for in great transport links. A few reviewers mentioned limited dining options on-site, so it’s worth planning meals ahead or exploring nearby eateries.

The Bottom Line

A smart, affordable base with quick access to London’s biggest music venues – ideal for concert-goers who want comfort, convenience, and value.

We had a great stay here. The room was immaculate, and all the hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, as I was travelling with a disabled husband. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay here again.

Liked: Excellent hotel.
Disliked: Taxi service to O2 was disappointing.

Budget hotel, a bit overpriced...

Liked: It was fine, but expensive for a budget hotel. The room was clean although looked slightly tired (carpet and bathroom needed a refresh). Breakfast provided which was convenient. Close to the station. The staff were polite and friendly.
Disliked: The sign in the bathroom said that complementary toiletries were available from reception when needed and this was supposed to include sanitary products but when I asked they said they don't provide them. Need to update the signs in the room.
