The Spotlight on Tavistock Hotel

Relaxed Central London Stay Near the Music Action

Modern comfort meets classic charm at the Tavistock Hotel, a 3-star spot located right in the heart of London’s Bloomsbury district. With leafy Tavistock Square just outside and the British Museum a short walk away, this hotel offers a peaceful base that's still close to the city's electric music scene. Expect clean, straightforward rooms with flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and tea-making facilities—plus a handy on-site restaurant and bar.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is a major win here—just a short stroll from Euston and King’s Cross St Pancras stations, making it easy to get to any gig in the city or beyond. Despite being central, the area is surprisingly calm, which is perfect for unwinding after a loud night out. The 14:00 check-in and 11:00 check-out times give you a little flexibility, especially if you're arriving early or sleeping in post-show. Plus, the multilingual 24-hour reception is a bonus for international music fans.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable central base
  • Solo travelers in town for a dream concert
  • Couples making a weekend of it
  • Fans who want a quieter spot to crash after the show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t want to compromise on location

Food and Drink Options

The Tavistock’s on-site restaurant serves up a mix of British, Indian, and local cuisine, with vegetarian, dairy-free, and halal options available on request. While room service isn’t 24/7, the hotel’s central location means plenty of late-night eateries are within walking distance. There’s a bar on-site for a quick pre-show drink or nightcap, and you can grab breakfast the next morning to refuel after a big night.

Nightlife Options

You’re perfectly placed for a night out—whether that’s heading to a major venue nearby or exploring the bars and pubs of Soho and Camden, both just a short Tube ride away. The hotel bar is low-key but convenient, especially if you’re not up for venturing far after a show.

What People Say

Guests love the central location and the ease of getting around London. Many mention the friendly multilingual staff and the hotel’s clean, functional rooms. Travelers also appreciate the proximity to transport hubs and walking distance to top attractions.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms can be on the smaller side, and décor is fairly simple—don’t expect luxury, but expect solid value. Some guests mention that the bathrooms could use a refresh, and occasional street noise comes with the central location.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want a well-connected, no-fuss stay in central London, the Tavistock Hotel hits the right note.

Good but too hot

Liked: Staff awesome, as always. Very comfortable bed. Breakfast great!!!
Disliked: I did visit in a mild heatwave, but the room was so hot, it was almost unbearable. Hardly got any sleep. Surely, a hotel of this quality, should invest in air conditioning. Many similar priced hotels have air conditioning.

Stifling hot, trip ruined

Liked: Not much. The reception looked nice, art deco style.
Disliked: I’m not one to complain but we had to leave London at 3am as we could not sleep as it was so unbearably hot. Ruined our trip. There was no air con and the window barely opened an inch. Do not go in the summer. The room was small and stuffy, no air. There was just one small weak fan that didn’t do much, just moved the heat around. The room was also dated and tatty, in need of modernisation.
