Food and Drink Options

The hotel serves a hot and cold breakfast buffet in the spacious Great Room—perfect for recovering after a late night. While there's no 24/7 room service, there’s a lobby bar with snacks and drinks, and you’re surrounded by plenty of walkable dining options, from riverside pubs to trendy cafes.

Nightlife Options

While there’s no live music on-site, the hotel puts you steps from some of London’s best nightlife. You’re walking distance to bars and lounges along the Thames and just a short ride from Soho and Shoreditch. The lobby bar with sports on the big screen is good for a relaxed pre-show drink.

What People Say

Guests love the location—close to both cultural landmarks and music venues. The friendly staff, clean rooms, and surprisingly hearty breakfast are frequently mentioned highlights. Many reviewers say it offers great value for central London.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms can feel a bit basic if you’re expecting luxury, and the hotel doesn’t offer full restaurant service or late-night dining. Still, most agree it's more than enough for a short, concert-focused stay.

The Bottom Line

A clean, modern, and convenient hotel for concert-goers wanting to stay close to the action without blowing the budget.
