Premier Inn London Southwark

I stayed here with a couple of colleagues for 2 nights last week as we had a business meeting close by, and we were all impressed with this hotel. There are only 5 parking spaces but we managed to bag the last one when we arrived at 5pm, so were pleased with that!

This hotel is quite new and the bedrooms are above the basic that you would get in a Travelodge. The bed in my room was kingsize and really comfy and the whole room was a good size. Clean and cosy. The bathroom was also fine.

Breakfast was £7.50 a head for a full English and served in the famous Anchor pub, the upper floor of which is connected to the Premier Inn. Very convenient. Breakfast was cooked to order very efficiently and we all enjoyed it. They also have a good evening menu ( no room service - you have to go to the pub) which we unfortunately did not get the opportunity to try.

Location wise, this is a great place to stay and I would definitely consider it for a South Bank based city break. You are opposite Vinopolis and two minutes from Shakespeare's Globe and the Golden Hind - one of my favourite parts of London.

I stayed 3 nights at this hotel. For a budget hotel my room was excellent, very clean and comfortable. The hotel is well positioned, its on the south side of the Thames River, pretty much half way between all the Westminster attractions on one side and Tower Bridge, Tower of London area on the other. It was about a 25 min walk in either direction to get to some great London attractions, and the walk was nice too, along the southern banks of the Thames, with lots of Cafes. I had no problems with noise at all, and I have to say the staff at reception were excellent, very polite and friendly. My only complaint was with one of the restaurant staff, whilst I was having breakfast, a male staff member sneezed into his hands twice then directly proceeded to place out new glasses in the juice area. I called the head waiter over and pointed this out, he immediately apologised, removed all the glasses, and took the waiter aside for a lesson in hygiene. It was handled well by the head waiter, but it did turn me off the rest of my breakfast. That was my only complaint, the hotel itself is very good, great rooms, staff, and the hotel is well positioned for many tourist attractions.

Read a few reviews about other premier inns in central london and booked southwark due to the positive feedback....so glad i did because this is the place to stay!! Hotel so clean and modern and staff just lovely, especially genny on reception, who offered travel advise and even an umbrella on a damp morning. Set back from the chaos of the city yet only a few minutes tube ride from London Bridge Undergound to any of the main landmarks. Family room consisted of a huge very comfortable bed and two very comfortable matresses on the floor either side of the bed. Opted for the full breakfast in the Anchor Inn which was excellent value for money...family of four could eat as much as they wanted for £15 a day. Found this set us up for the day ahead. Very minor fault was cooked breakfast was a bit slow in coming so leave an extra 10mins or so for breakfast.
