The Spotlight on Hotel Balkan

Affordable, No-Fuss Comfort Close to London’s Top Venues

Hotel Balkan is a simple, budget-friendly stay located in West London, just a short stroll from Hammersmith and Shepherd’s Bush. With five Tube stations within half a mile, free Wi-Fi, and en-suite rooms, this hotel is ideal for fans looking to stay close to the action without breaking the bank.
Rooms are compact but well-equipped, each featuring a private bathroom, fridge, tea/coffee facilities, and satellite TV. The location puts you within walking distance of some of London’s most iconic live music venues, plus free parking is available on evenings and weekends – a rare perk in the city.

Why Concert-goers love it

Hotel Balkan is just under a mile from the Hammersmith Apollo, Shepherd’s Bush Empire, and Lyric Hammersmith, making it a great base for catching a show. With 24/7 check-in and luggage storage available, it's super convenient for those arriving late or heading straight to the venue. Although the hotel doesn’t offer nightlife itself, you're just minutes from bars and pubs in Hammersmith. Plus, being outside the Congestion Charge Zone is a bonus for drivers.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a no-frills place to crash after a gig
  • Solo travelers on a mission to see their favorite artist
  • Couples planning a music-filled weekend getaway
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space in a residential neighborhood
  • Budget-conscious music fans needing a clean and comfy base

Food and Drink Options

While Hotel Balkan doesn’t offer on-site dining, you’re spoilt for choice nearby. A quick walk takes you to a variety of cafes, pubs, and late-night eateries. You’ll find everything from kebabs to cozy brunch spots. No 24-hour room service here, but you won’t go hungry with so many options outside. Breakfast isn’t served on-site, so plan for a walk to a local café the morning after your gig.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself is quiet, you’re within reach of some of West London’s top nightlife. Catch pre- or post-show drinks at local pubs in Hammersmith or head to nearby venues for live music. The area has a laid-back vibe, perfect for low-key nights out before or after a concert.

What People Say

Guests love the location for its convenience to major venues and transport links. Reviews highlight the clean rooms, friendly staff, and surprisingly quiet atmosphere despite being close to busy areas. The value for money is frequently praised, especially by concert-goers who just need a place to sleep after a late night.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel isn’t fancy, and some guests mention that the decor and facilities are a bit dated. Rooms are compact, and there’s no lift, so pack light if you're on an upper floor. No air conditioning means summer stays can be a bit warm – but hey, it’s London.

The Bottom Line

Hotel Balkan is a solid, budget-friendly option for music lovers looking for a clean, convenient base near West London’s top venues.

Good value for money

Liked: Location is very good, close to subway stations (13 minutes walk to Hammersmith and 8-9 minutes walk to Westfield). Room was clean. Couple of coffee shops and eateries are nearby. Sainsburry is just right across the hotel which is a plus point.
Disliked: Room for one person was extremely small. The internet service was not upto mark, poor signals and poor quality of internet. Rest everything was good.
