Premier Inn

2^nd hotel of my Eurotrip
The taxi brought us to the entrance. The entrance had stairs. I didn’t see any ramps to roll the luggage into the building so we had to carry the heavy luggage up a bunch of stairs which is why I deducted a star.
Lobby included 2 manned check-​in podiums and a bunch of quick check-​in machines for convenience.
You need a key card to access the elevator which is great for security.
Paid coffee machine in the lobby that takes credit cards and cash.
Hotel didn’t have a Concierge service but luckily the tours could be booked at the London Marriot County Hall Hotel around the corner. Some of the tours picked us up at the Marriot and another Hotel around the corner.
Apparently they have a weekly fire alarm test at 10:15am on Thursdays. They’ll let you know so you don’t need to leave your room.
WIFI
Wifi is good. It’s not super fast but gets the job done. I paid for their Ultimate Wifi package for 15 Pounds for 7 days since I was staying there for about 6 days. It was worth it because it was really fast. It uploaded my googlephotos/​videos really quick.
ROOM
The room was HUGE! The beds were wider than the usual bed widths that I stayed in Europe. The widths were similar to American queen size beds. The restroom door automatically closes. Since there was no doorstop to keep it open, I used a bunch of tour handouts from the lobby as a doorstop. There was no hand lotion.
NEARBY
London Eye, House of Parliament, Waterloo Station, a bunch of great restaurants across the street. Walking distance to Buckingham palace to watch the Changing of the Guards, Borough Market which is basically like a farmers market with lots of stalls to get food from, and Covent Garden. McDonalds and my favorite, Pret-​A-​Manger, is around the corner.
I would definitely book this hotel again.

This hotel is in an ideal location for tourists. It’s right next to the London Eye and you can see Big Ben/​Houses of Parliament right across the river, Trafalgar Square is a 10 – 15 minute walk, and there are a couple convent underground stations nearby! This is a VERY FAMILY FRIENDLY hotel, we saw a ton of families with kids of all ages staying here.
The price was right on point for what you get here. The room was OK, the bathroom was odd shaped and the door was extremely heavy. There is no air conditioning (keep that in mind if you are traveling in summer). The hotel has a strange layout, but overall it was fine. The noise was a little loud, not street noise but hotel noise… you can hear doors slam and people talking in the rooms around you (on all sides). The internet is SLOW and kicks you off a lot so that was a pain since we were traveling without data plans and relied heavily on the internet (or not in the case here, we stuck to old school maps for London, luckily it’s easy to find your way around).
The staff was really friendly and nice. They were helpful with directions, things to do and hailing cabs.
My biggest complaint is that the restaurant was HORRID… the service was alright, but the food was nasty. My husband had a pizza which we are pretty sure had been frozen for awhile… and I ordered a salmon dish with veggies… the salmon was so overcooked it was like eating jerky and the veggies tasted awful. I actually spit out one of the mushrooms! They had gluten free options but I wouldn’t recommend anyone eat here. We didn’t have breakfast and we only had the one meal there.

This hotel is in a wonderful location. It is comfortable, convenient and you will be well placed to visit to a range of key attractions. The breakfast is very good, and there are some lovely walks on summer evenings. Recommended.

Hey there I am staying in this hotel and so far it is very good. The rooms are good but the bathroom stinks. The hotel ha da quiet policy in some parts of the hotel and you have to keep quiet from 10:30pm — 7:30am so that I thinks is pretty cool. The breakfast is really tasty. It is a all you can eat buffet. (I love all you can eat buffet!) Also It right around the corner there is the London eye, The London Dungeons and Sea world. So it is actually pretty good place to stay. Sighing off
SOPHIE

Great location right behind the London Eye. Walking distance to lots of attractions & public transportation. The rooms are nice. The beds are very comfortable. Première Inn guarantee a good nights sleep. Hair dryer and kettle in the room. They now have free wi-​fi. Hotel has a restaurant and bar. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance. I really don’t have anything negative to say. Staff are very friendly and helpful if you need anything.

It’s a Premier Inn, you know what you are getting. The bar/​restaurant downstairs is fairly pleasant and comfortable. The rooms are clean and have everything you need.

Stayed here in Sept for 9 nights. No air conditioning so room was very hot, 80“s. No place to put your clothes so had to leave everything in suit cases. Not worth the money we spent.

Thanks for your sharing, i like the

This place interests me. It’s on the street running parallel with South Bank, near to Borough Market nd there’s always huge queue of people out of the door who are here for visa renewals or to register with immigration.

Automated check-​in means I will no longer go back — shame it was a good hotel
Now they automated the check-​in the service is appalling, if your room isn’t available the system gives a very descriptive message of «can’t find booking», helpful — not. And it gets worse, don’t expect help from anyone, unless you feel being granted at constitutes service. After approximatly 45 mins of waiting to get someone to sort things out, we eventually got our room.
They have a «good night» guarantee… which seems applicable for the outside only and doesn’t seem to apply if its your own bathroom floor which squeeks with every vibration
Its a bit of shame really because its a great location (by the london eye) and not a bad price, but really isn’t worth the hassle — I won’t be comming back again, especially as there are other hotels for the same price (if not better) that actually believe in providing a check-​in service

Do yourself a favor and stay at the Marriott in this building, but avoid this particular hotel. The location was what attracted us and the price seemed decent, especially since it’s right next to the London Eye and within walking distance to Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament.
However, the accommodations were not worth the price we paid for them. In fact, the price was within 10 pounds of the Crowne Plaza St. James Hotel we stayed in for the first nights of our trip — but the accommodations were that of a Motel 8 (for those of you in the states). Really, how does that work?
Every staff person we came in contact with spoke very little English, which was frustrating when trying to request more towels. The towels took over an hour because the person at customer service didn’t understand my native English and didn’t bother to ask me to repeat myself.
Additionally, some of the European chocolate we bought for family and friends went missing while we were staying here. My husband is an honest man and I certainly didn’t eat it, but we have the receipt for how much was purchased and that is not the amount we left with. Frustrating, to say the least.
I gave 2 stars because the room was always cleaned and the basic amenities (i.e. the shower and toilet) worked. But, really, I wouldn’t recommend this place.

It’s true that the best thing about this hotel is the location. You couldn’t ask to be in a better place — County Hall houses loads of cafes and shops as well as attractions such as the Dali museum, the Aquarium and the new Movieum. It’s also right by the London Eye, opposite the Houses of Parliament and five minutes walk from Waterloo station.
However, I was equally impressed by other aspects of the hotel. Despite the central location, there was no noise during the night, and whilst it is a budget hotel, it didn’t really feel like one. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the bar area very relaxing. I ate in the restaurant twice and it was very good — they have a set dinner menu with 2 courses for £9.95, and I chose soup and a perfectly cooked lamb shank. Breakfast was a buffet style affair, where there was a good selection of cereals, fruit and cooked items which were frequently replenished. Although the dining room was busy, it did not feel crowded, and the staff went out of their way to be helpful.

Whenever I visit London, this is my choice of place to stay. It’s inexpensive considering the average cost of a hotel in London and its location is brilliant. It is five minutes from Waterloo, right next to the London Eye and just across the river from the Houses of Parliament. I’ve even walked to Buckingham Palace and Knightsbridge from this hotel. Despite only living an hour or so from London, I always love doing the tourist thing when I’m there so it’s great to be located near so many major landmarks. The hotel is always clean and tidy and the staff are very pleasant. When I was woken by a drunk person phoning my room at 4am, the hotel offered me a refund without any hesitation. Fortunately, it’s only happened once and I normally sleep very well here. The bar is good for a drink or snack. There are also several places to eat and drink locally, with an All Bar One just around the corner and a Starbucks and Noodle place just across the street.

Location is the only selling point for this place. It is a great spot to base yourself.
Having organised a grand dinner with the fantastic views of the Thames etc from the Marriott in the County Hall behind, I then came down to earth with a bump checking into my accomodation adjacent. Didn’t have much choice in the matter with a public sector work budget, however I have stayed in far better places in other parts of London with the same budget. The room was functional, although I felt cleaner before using the bathroom than after– it was disgusting — and zilch view — looking out onto the back court of this dreary building.

Simple hotel in part of the old County Hall, which was where the old Greater London Council used to operate.
There are other hotels in the same complex such as Marriott with their big price tags, but the Premier Travel Inn has somehow stripped everything down to the bare bones to provide a clean room in the very centre of the tourist zone for a (by London standards) low price.
Don’t expect fancy facilities, but do expect to be able to drop out of the front door and be at the London eye, on foot, in three minutes. Can’t be much more central than that.
