The Spotlight on ibis Hotel Northampton Centre

Budget-Friendly Vibes in the Heart of Northampton

Modern, simple, and super central, ibis Hotel Northampton Centre puts you right in the middle of the action. Just a 5-minute stroll from Northampton train station and nestled inside the Sol Central complex, this hotel is ideal for concert-goers wanting an affordable, no-fuss place to stay with everything close by. With 151 clean, comfy rooms, 24-hour food options, and quick transport access via the M1 or rail, it’s a reliable base whether you're here for a one-night gig or a full weekend of shows.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is where this hotel really shines. It’s walking distance from the train station and a short taxi ride from key music venues. After the encore, head back to your room quickly and easily—no long treks or missed last trains. With 24-hour hot meals at the café bar and check-out at 12:00, you can sleep in after a late night. The area stays active into the evening, but the guest rooms remain relatively quiet thanks to good soundproofing.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a central, budget-smart stay
  • Solo travelers chasing that must-see tour stop
  • Couples planning a weekend of music and town exploring
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space without being miles from the venue
  • Budget-conscious music fans who want value without sacrificing location

Food and Drink Options

If hunger strikes after the gig, you’re sorted. The on-site café bar serves hot meals 24/7, perfect for that late-night bite. Breakfast is available early on weekdays and until 10:30 on weekends, so you don’t have to rush your morning after a show. Plus, with restaurants in the Sol Central complex and around town just steps away, you’ve got solid pre- and post-concert dining options.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you’ll find cinemas, restaurants, and nearby bars within walking distance. There’s also a relaxed bar in the hotel for a quiet nightcap or pre-show drink. Northampton’s nightlife is accessible but not overwhelming—ideal if you want to dip in and out of the scene.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the hotel’s location and convenience—close to the station, venues, shops, and restaurants. Reviews highlight the friendly staff, comfortable beds, and the benefit of having food and drink available 24/7. It’s not luxury, but it’s reliable and great for short stays with everything you need.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers mention that the hotel could use a bit of a refresh in certain areas, and that the rooms are on the smaller side. The additional fee for parking and gym access might catch you off guard if you're not expecting it, so plan for a few extra pounds.

The Bottom Line

If you’re heading to Northampton for a concert and want a no-hassle hotel that’s central, comfortable, and budget-friendly, ibis Hotel Northampton Centre gets the job done.

Sam, Derby, visiting The Roadmender Northampton

We were refused a bar of chocolate when we got back to hotel. He said they didn't have any. When I pointed to the chocolate clearly in view, I was given a dirty look from the staff member and ignored. Very unpleasant man.

Disliked: Grumpy night staff. Very unhelpful.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Christopher V, Rugby, visiting The Roadmender Northampton

The room itself was very nice, clean and comfortable. However we were woken on four different occasions due to guests running up and down and shouting/laughing outside our room. At one point I called reception to complain - this was about 5am. Therefore we were not happy with our stay and unfortunately won't be returning, which is a shame because were go to the Roadmender quite often.

Liked: Clean room.
Disliked: Noise.

Great stay, shame about the...

Liked: Room was good value for money, I had a great night's sleep.
Disliked: I went down for breakfast and asked the staff member if you do vegan options, he said go and look they are labeled. They weren't labeled, the guy clearly had no idea. So I went and got breakfast up the road. It annoyed me a little as he clearly didnt care either way. Ruined an otherwise perfect stay.
