The Spotlight on Newham Hotel

Affordable Comfort Near East London’s Biggest Music Destinations

Modern, no-frills, and budget-wise, the Newham Hotel puts you in the heart of East London without the hefty price tag. Located just a short walk from Forest Gate Station, with fast train connections to Stratford and London Liverpool Street, it’s a practical base for concert-goers looking to explore the city’s vibrant music scene.
With free on-site parking and a 24-hour reception, this no-fuss hotel offers a straightforward, value-driven stay in a lively, multicultural neighborhood.

Why Concert-goers love it

You're just a 3-minute train ride from Stratford Station—a major hub for fans heading to venues like the O2 Arena, ExCeL London, and even Docklands gigs. The location is surprisingly quiet for its centrality, and the hotel’s 24-hour front desk means you can check in late without worry. If you're driving in for a show, the free CCTV-monitored parking is a rare East London bonus.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends on a gig weekend
- Solo travelers catching a must-see show
- Couples making a concert a weekend getaway
- Fans needing a quiet spot to crash after an energetic night
- Budget-conscious music fans who prefer to spend on tickets, not beds

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant for dinner, the hotel offers a traditional English breakfast each morning—ideal after a late night out. You’re a short stroll from Green Street’s incredible food scene, with plenty of late-night South Asian eateries perfect for a post-concert bite. Tea and coffee facilities in every room help you recharge at any hour.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself doesn’t have a bar, you’re close to Stratford’s buzzing nightlife and Forest Gate’s growing pub scene. Want a craft beer or cocktail? Head to nearby bars or hop on the train for a quick ride to Liverpool Street’s late-night options. It’s also a short cab from the O2 if you’re sticking around after the encore.

What People Say

Guests love the value for money and the easy access to transport. Many mention the friendly staff and appreciate the free parking in such a busy area. It’s not a luxury property, but it delivers on basics, especially for short stays tied to events or gigs.

Areas for Improvement

Some rooms have shared bathrooms, so check when booking if that matters to you. Decor is more functional than fashionable, and Wi-Fi can be spotty at times. But if your priority is proximity to music and a clean place to sleep, it ticks the right boxes.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a simple, well-located and affordable stay with easy access to London’s major venues, Newham Hotel hits the right note for concert-goers.

Good budget accommodation

Liked: Inexpensive, good location. Comfortable bed. Plenty of parking space, including at the rear of the property. Friendly staff, allowed me to park for the day even after checking out in the morning.
Disliked: Soap/shower gel should have been provided. It is a standard feature in any lodge.

Good

Liked: The location of the hotel is quite a strategic one, as you can easily reach it by car. The parking is quite big and it feels very safe. The staff was really kind to let me leave the car for the whole of my check out day. Breakfast was good and bed did its job
Disliked: We had to wait for our room 20 minutes, even though we were in the hotel after the check-in allowed time. Walls are a bit thin, so you can hear all the noises.
