The Spotlight on Kensington Prime Hotel

Smart, Quiet Comfort Near London’s Major Music Venues

Modern and peaceful, Kensington Prime Hotel offers a low-key but comfortable base in West London, just a 4-minute walk from Olympia Exhibition Centre and a mile from Eventim Apollo. With its clean, air-conditioned rooms, charming garden, and convenient amenities like free WiFi and private bathrooms, this 3-star stay is ideal for visitors seeking a calm retreat after a high-energy gig.

The hotel’s Kensington location gives you easy access to public transport, while offering a more relaxed atmosphere than the city center. Rooms come with flat-screen TVs, satellite channels, and thoughtful extras like electric kettles and bidets—just what you need for a cozy wind-down after the encore.

Why Concert-goers love it

You're just a short stroll away from top venues like Olympia and a quick ride to others across London. The neighborhood is quiet, making it easy to unwind after a loud night out. With check-in from 14:00 and check-out at 11:00, there's a bit of wiggle room for late mornings. Plus, the nearby Kensington (Olympia) station makes getting back late at night a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a budget-friendly spot close to venues
  • Solo travelers catching a dream performance
  • Couples making a mini-getaway of a concert night
  • Fans who prefer a quieter place to recharge post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want modern comfort

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, you’ll find plenty of walkable cafes and pubs in the area serving late-night bites. With an in-room electric tea pot, you're always set for a late cuppa or morning brew. Breakfast spots nearby often start serving late, perfect for post-concert lie-ins.

Nightlife Options

If you're not done after the final encore, explore the local bar scene around Kensington and Hammersmith. There’s no live music on-site, but you’re close enough to head out and enjoy London’s legendary nightlife—or just relax in your room with some local takeaway.

What People Say

  • Exceptionally clean and quiet” rooms
  • Great location for shows at Olympia and Hammersmith”
  • Friendly staff and very comfy beds
  • “Perfect for a quick overnight after a concert”

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the hotel is basic in design—think more practical than plush. There’s also no on-site dining or bar, so you'll need to step out for meals and drinks. But with so many options nearby, that’s rarely a deal-breaker.

The Bottom Line

A clean, budget-friendly hotel in a quiet Kensington neighborhood, Kensington Prime Hotel is an ideal pick for concert-goers who want convenience, calm, and a good night’s sleep after the show.

Really nice little hotel

Liked: Great location, especially for Olympia - lovely staff
Disliked: The light switches are fiddly - especially if you’re looking for a low light in the middle of the night, but that’s a grumble, otherwise all good
