I stayed at this location while visiting London, on a Euro trip in May 2024. There are Premier Inn's all over. According to the internet, there are 800+ locations across the UK. Find the location that suits you best. The room itself was great. Modern enough for me, not sure for the pricepoint. It was $204 GBP per night. When I calculated this today, its $264 US, a night. The street in front of the hotel has an access barrier arm restriction, that requires a paid entrance or a key fob to enter. If your using Uber or a taxi for pick up or drop off, you have to walk down to the corner, they can't pick up or drop off right out front. I loved the location because it was easily walkable to all the sight seeing I wanted. Plus the area appeared safe during the day, and at dusk, especially important for solo travelers. Plenty of restaurants across the street. Its literally steps from the London Eye, if that interests you. The drawback is the check in/check out process. There was only 1 person doing it, the que (line) gets long quickly. It was flowing out the door when I checked in and out. And the staff member seemed to move at a snails pace. As if they had never anticipated there would be more than 1 customer waiting. So give yourself lots of time to check in/out, if you are on a tight schedule. The check in/out line is the same. They had an iPad kiosk, but for some reason it was not usable. The entrance to hotel from the street has a flight of stairs, there is no lift or elevator. So if you have heavy bags, you have to lug them up the set of stairs to the entrance. There is no staff outside or inside helping with bags. I guess these small things seem minute in comparison to other things. But can really make or break an experience. At least, if I decide to stay there a again, I know exactly what to expect. The do have luggage stowaway, if you need to store your bag for after check out, but before you leave the hotel. They offer breakfast for a charge when you book the hotel. I think it was aroun $20 GBP per person, it didnt seem worth it. I did not utilize it. Would I stay here again? The hotel brand I would use again, but likely different location. read more

Run away if you want any quality... If you want a discount service hotel that is clean ... this is good and the price is ok given the location But if you want a bit more. Do not stay here : 1) WiFi in rooms is terrible ... says you are too far away and can't hold a connection 2) toilet paper is tiny 2x2 square and very rough ... dare I say painful 3) no phones in room to call front desk or report any missing items 4). Tv remote didn't work 5). No front desk for check in ... and no lobby 6). No clock in room to see the time 7). Ac and fan thermostat didn't work properly 8). Bathroom door keeps shutting ... no way to keep open while crushing teeth 9). Breakfast was the worst ... shells in eggs, burnt hash browns, greasy fried eggs, etc. nothing was fresh. It is all frozen stuff that is barely heated and put out for us to eat. Not sure how much longer I can make the list. I am leaving and switching to another hotel read more

Management and reception didn't seem to care that our air conditioning didn't work in our room. Staff came to our room and told us the a/c was fine. We sweated that night and had trouble sleeping. Told reception that air was still not working. No one showed up to look at our a/c and we were not offered another room. Thank goodness we were able to open the window and get some sleep. Housekeeping, kitchen staff, and location are great however. read more

For the price and location, not sure you can beat it! Right in the heart of London and within 5-minute walking distance to Big Ben, London Eye, and Waterloo Station (tube/train). Overall the rooms are small with basically no clothes storage (small drawer and a few hangers) but the bed was comfy, room was clean, and A/C was a huge plus. No bells and whistles but our goal wasnt to spend time in the room anyway other than sleeping and getting ready. Would recommend if balling on a budget. Would compare to the DoubleTree in the US. read more

Stayed here for our London stretch of our European vacation. We had been doing AirBNB in other cities but couldn't quite find a good one in London that fit our needs. Look, it's not the Four Seasons but even my kids came out saying that this was a great place. Things to like: Location-literally next to the London Eye. 10 minute walk to Parliament and Westminster Abbey.Situated between both Waterloo and Westminster Tube stations. Rooms-Not the prettiest but roomy, comfortable and clean. Energy efficient features. Strong WIFI signal. Food-pay for the AYCE English breakfast. About 11£ per adult with kids eating free. Tried black pudding for the first time and loved it! Bacon, sausages, stewed tomatoes, breads. You can also order eggs your way. Hearty fuel for the tourist. Service-Absolutely friendly. No attitude. Genuine warmth and willingness to address questions even the constant "which way to..."Helped us book transportation. Would stay here again easily. Note- This is the Premier Inn County Hall. There is another Premier two blocks away. read more

This review is just for the breakfast buffet which we visited twice during the second half of December. Kids up to 15 get to eat free with parents. For my family of 4, the buffet came out around £21 for us. The buffet includes decent English breakfast items, pastries, cereals and drinks (latte, coffee to juices). Overall, it is a great value comparing to other options. The location is right by London Eye and the south shoreline. The Waterloo tube station is nearby. read more

Well the room is ok but the staff tries to be helpful but isn't. I have complained about the poor AC in our room for 3 days straight and every employee said that maintenance would look into it. When we arrived at our hotel rhe AC is still barely running. If you don't mind the heat and love to CAMP then this hotel is great for you. If you feel like you should get what you pay for go to another hotel. For my next visit to Londen next year I will stay at another hotel. read more

I stayed here while on a trip to England with my sister, brother and sister-in-law. The location is really great. Across the street from a tube station, just blocks away from Big Ben, Parliament and the London Eye. Within walking distance to Buckingham Palace and other great locations as well. As for the hotel itself, it is very decent for the price. Nice clean rooms, not a bad size considering the location. My brother said his room was sometimes noisy, but I hardly heard anything during the night, and I am an extremely light sleeper. Not much for extra towels and such, but I understand that is pretty common for Europe. We did eat at the restaurant one evening. It was nothing to write home about, but it was decent. I would definitely stay there again if I get a chance. read more

2nd 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. read more

Great budget hotel by the London Eye. The bathroom smelled like it had been smoked in previously, but other than that, we had a pretty decent stay. read more

cost and convenience. The hotel rooms have been renovated to plus though I really see little difference from our trip in 2019. We, in error, came during the coronation, so I am sure that was a factor in room price which was significantly more than our last visit. The decor is different and the bathroom is a bit larger (still no such thing as a washcloth here). We had a difficult time adjusting the shower and basin faucet temperatures as consistently it was too hot or too cold. This was a flat shower which I hate. The personnel were helpful to an extent;they seemed to have difficulty in providing info as to getting a taxi when we told them the service they used (you had to call from a specific phone in the lobby) was booked full. We got several different answers as to a location to secure a ride, and ultimately, after going to where one rep suggested, ended up hailing a cab passing by the Waterloo Station, after walking several minutes with our luggage, as there were no taxis in the suggested location. The rep, though, did prepare as to-go bag from breakfast since we were leaving just as it opened that day. We had opted for the Continental Breakfast, and in hind sight should have just did a daily, as-needed, breakfast. We wound up paying for breakfast our last morning, though not using it, as we had to leave earlier than expected. Breakfast was pretty bad and we were glad we didn't get the full breakfast which wasn't much better looking. The hotel is a convenient walk to many areas and close to the Waterloo station which allows you to roam about the city. Don't get me started on the Underground prices (very helpful personnel and easy to navigate after awhile), even with a day-pass (hint: get the Oyster card before leaving home). The rooms were clean but you needed to ask on a daily basis if you needed any cleanup , etc. Luckily, the rep who checked us in gave us extra towels without us asking. You have to ring the outside bell if you need luggage assistance up their several steps. The area has been built up in the past few years and now there appears to be more dining and breakfast choices (last visit we only had Starbuck's and Pret). The beds were comfortable. So, in summary, if you don't expect much, you will be pleasantly surprised but if you want normal amenities (US standards), etc, you will be disappointed. read more

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 read more

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 read more

Great location right behind the London Eye. Walking distance to lots of attractions & public transportation. The rooms are nice. The beds are very comfortable. Premiere 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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

We use the Premier Inn as a bolt hole whilst going to the theatre in London. It's a great location for walking to central locations, like the parks, Oxford for shopping and the theatre district. Breakfast is available to Pre book and will sort you out of the following day, either more shopping or for the trip home. Looking for something special, I use the Park Plaza, just across the road. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Well there's a lot to be said here. First off, there's no air conditioning so if you're traveling in the summer avoid this place at all costs. Second, the view is disgusting, you get to stare at dumpsters and dirty buildings out your windows. The water is not clean or safe to drink, there are no ice machines in the hotel and the rooms don't have fridges to store bottled water. They gave us 2 towels and no face cloths, no soap or shampoo provided. It doesn't even have a front desk. Self check in machines and someone to help you if you need (which all tourists do) so a long wait for any help. They didn't have our room ready when we arrived so we had to wait 3 hours. The WiFi doesn't work well, however you can pay to upgrade to "ultimate wifi" but in my opinion if I am paying for a room I'm also paying for the services and amenities that come with it. Don't advertise free WiFi if it doesn't actually work. The bar and restaurant are very pricey and breakfast is also overpriced, not a whole lot of options and the food wasn't hot. Definitely will not be returning! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more
