Why Concert-goers love it

You're just a 10-minute walk from Southend Airport Railway Station, making late-night returns from London venues a breeze. The soundproofed rooms and rooftop bar offer a peaceful escape from the post-show buzz, while flexible check-in from 14:00 and check-out at 11:00 gives you time to recover. The hotel’s location near transport links makes it easy to explore both local venues and city stages.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends heading to a gig together
• Solo travelers chasing their dream concert
• Couples making a weekend of it
• Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want comfort

Food and Drink Options

The on-site 1935 Rooftop Restaurant & Bar serves up great views and even better bites, perfect for a pre-show meal or a late-night snack. 24/7 room service keeps the cravings covered, and you’ll find tea and coffee makers in every room. Late riser? No worries—breakfast is available for when you finally roll out of bed.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself offers a stylish rooftop bar ideal for a relaxed drink, you're also a short drive or train ride away from Southend's lively pubs and music spots. Prefer a low-key night? Enjoy craft drinks at the hotel bar while reminiscing about the setlist.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, quiet rooms, friendly staff, and convenient location with easy train access. Many highlight the rooftop restaurant as a standout, especially for pre-show dinners. The free Wi-Fi and modern design get consistent praise too.

Areas for Improvement

If you're without a car, note that some of the local nightlife isn’t within walking distance. And while the hotel is close to the station, it's a bit outside the town center. But for many, the peace and quiet are part of the appeal.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers looking for a modern, well-connected, and quiet place to recharge, Holiday Inn Southend hits all the right notes.
