The Spotlight on Holiday Inn London - Kensington High St.

Relaxed London Base Steps from Kensington High Street

Modern and comfortable, the Holiday Inn London - Kensington High St. is a convenient option for concert-goers who want to stay close to the action while enjoying a calm, quality hotel experience. Located just 2 minutes' walk from bustling Kensington High Street, this well-appointed hotel offers air-conditioned rooms, a 24-hour front desk, and free access to the on-site gym. Whether you're catching a gig in West London or exploring the city by tube, this spot makes it easy.

Why Concert-goers love it

With High Street Kensington Tube Station just 150 metres away, getting to London’s top music venues is quick and hassle-free — whether you're headed to Hammersmith, Earls Court, or even up to Camden. After a night out, guests appreciate the quiet, carpeted rooms and the option to unwind in the spa or indoor pool (available at an additional charge). The hotel’s late check-out at 12:00 lets you sleep in after a big night, and the 24-hour front desk makes late-night arrivals a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a central, accessible base
  • Solo travelers ticking bands off their bucket list
  • Couples making a weekend of a big show
  • Fans wanting a quieter spot to recharge post-concert
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want great amenities

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Boulevard Restaurant serves a generous hot buffet breakfast daily — perfect after a late night. For dinner, enjoy modern European cuisine without leaving the hotel. The Lounge Bar offers light bites, drinks, and a chilled atmosphere for a post-show wind-down. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the central location means plenty of late-night eateries are just around the corner.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about relaxing than raving, you're within easy reach of bars and pubs along Kensington High Street. For those wanting to keep the party going, nearby areas like Hammersmith and Notting Hill offer live music, cocktail lounges, and classic London pubs.

What People Say

Guests love the location, praising the quick walk to the tube and the ease of getting across the city. The clean, spacious rooms also get thumbs-up, as does the friendly, helpful staff. Many reviewers mention the hotel’s peaceful vibe — ideal after a loud night at a gig.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that pool and spa access isn’t included in the room rate, which can be a surprise. Others mention the rooms, while comfortable, are a bit dated in décor — but the cleanliness and function make up for it.

The Bottom Line

A quiet, well-located hotel with easy tube access and relaxing amenities, Holiday Inn London - Kensington High St. is ideal for concert-goers who want comfort without straying too far from the city's music scene.

Location, staff and little guest...

Liked: Location, breakfast and staff were excellent.Little touches on complimentary things eg chocolate for my kid on arrival, churros taken to tables at breakfast, complementary bathroom items if forgotten. Staff were great and the location is perfect for sightseeing.
Disliked: Quality of pool and facilities - cleanliness / state of repair. Room was small for the price, and the TV system was incredibly old - no movies, few channels / needs to come into the 21st century on the TV system!

Short leisure break!

Liked: Location Spa/Gym Lounge area.Room appeared to be in an extra quiet part of the hotel.
Disliked: Not the best of rooms Air con was not great.Twin room was a bit cramped.Plug of sink was easily jammed.Fridge was not built in to a cabinet,so the fridge light at night did not darken the room.You had to put the fridge off to have a black out room at night for sleeping.Room felt a bit tired and dated as if it was maybe used for staff quarters.There was a discounted deal so that may have been the reason it was allocated at reception.The sauna was out of use. It's getting rebuilt but they don't advertise that.
