The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Northampton

Riverside Relaxation Just Minutes from Northampton's Music Scene

Modern and welcoming, the Holiday Inn Northampton is a comfortable hotel nestled along the River Nene. Just 2 miles from central Northampton and a short drive from the M1, this laid-back hotel offers a peaceful escape with easy access to the area’s concert venues and nightlife. With free parking, a casual brasserie, and cosy rooms featuring both bathtubs and showers, it's a smart choice for music fans looking to unwind after a show.

Why Concert-goers love it

Whether you're catching a gig in central Northampton or heading to Silverstone for a festival, this hotel is conveniently located for a quick trip back after the encore. Guests love the free parking (a huge perk when driving in for a show), and the hotel’s peaceful riverside setting makes it ideal for recharging after a loud night out. With a 12:00 pm check-out, you won’t need to rush your recovery, and the on-site bar is perfect for a post-show nightcap.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a hassle-free base with room to relax
  • Solo travelers checking off a bucket-list artist in town
  • Couples turning a concert into a weekend getaway
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

Start your day right (even if it starts late) with a generous breakfast served until 10 a.m.. Craving something after the show? The on-site brasserie offers a range of dishes including pastas, salads, and curries, and the lounge bar is a chill spot to unwind with a drink. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the bar stays open late enough for most concert-goers, and there are several eateries a short drive away.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more of a wind-down spot than a party hub, central Northampton's nightlife is just a short taxi ride away, with bars, pubs, and late-night lounges. For those wanting a more relaxed vibe, the hotel bar serves up local beers and comfy seating—ideal for discussions about the best setlist moments.

What People Say

Guests highlight the friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and the “surprisingly quiet atmosphere” despite being near town. Many mention the hotel's great value for money, especially with the free parking and kids-eat-free policy. The riverside location also gets praise for being peaceful and scenic.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel isn’t in the heart of the city, so expect a short drive or taxi ride to most venues and nightlife. Some guests mention the décor feels a little dated in parts, but agree it’s clean and well-maintained.

The Bottom Line

If you’re after a quiet, convenient, and budget-friendly stay near Northampton’s music scene, Holiday Inn Northampton hits all the right notes.

Paul Mon, 5 May 2025

Very disappointed

Liked: Friendly staff and easy to find.
Disliked: Bed rolled about every time you get in or out of it. The mattress far too soft gave us both back ache. TV had all apps blocked, so I don't see the point in having them on the TV. The shower is either boiling hot or freezing and does not drain properly. Can hear if the room next door or opposite leave room. Very disappointed.

Would recommend

Liked: The location itself was perfect, very big car park, very clean and the breakfast was amazing
Disliked: The speed hump into the car park was ridiculously high and scraped the bottom of my car regardless of how slow i went over it, i had a sun light in the room that had a blind over it with a remote to open but this never worked and the room only had one tiny window that you couldn’t even open for fresh air so this made the room very deprived of natural light

Very good

Liked: Helpful and friendly staff. The air-conditioning in the room worked perfectly.
Disliked: Maybe a slightly larger gym with more variance of equipment. It was mainly cardio equipment and the machines were a little old.

Not good value for money...

Liked: The location was convenient, free parking, shower.
Disliked: The first room I was given - the AC unit would not work. Had to use the batteries out of the tv remote for the AC controller. Then the unit still wouldn’t come on. Had to find number on own phone to call reception as no phones in rooms. They said would send somebody up. 30 minutes later nobody had come. Went down to reception to be told they already knew there was an issue with that room. Asked to move rooms. Which was eventually agreed. In the new room, whilst the AC unit worked, the TV and desk lamp did not! The toilet seat lid wouldn’t stay up and so when using toilet it was resting on my back. Sheets were of very poor quality and mattress uncomfortable. Whilst I only paid £60 for the night, the facilities and staff were poor and not sure value for money even at this low price! I would expect better from holiday inn.
