It's a pity time ago Premier inn was lovely
Pros:

Dear Sirs, I booked by phone directly with premier inn, 3 doubles rooms and 1 single room, this last room interconected with one of the others rooms,Breakfast included.
we had 4 doubles rooms not conected , we had to pay for the breakfast for 7 pax, because in the reservation the hotel said that they didn't have the information about the breakfast included. so we have paid + 195,86 pounds. And the last thing is that nobody says to us that you have to annonce at the reception if you want cleanservice. so nobody get the new towels,neither the WC clean. the reservation was made by telephone and one room was at my name and the other tree rooms at aa, bb cc. really dificult to find them by the checking service.Really incredible!

Overnight stay
Pros:

Excellent location just off underground with Tesco Extra, Sainsbury’s Local and Superdrug nearby. Just around corner from St Paul’s Cathedral and Millennium Bridge over Thames.
Welcoming and personable staff who take pride in their jobs. Warm, clean and well presented restaurant, bar and check in area with well laid out seating areas.
Good sized rooms in quiet location. Excellent value for money based on location, room size and quality of decor.
Would definitely staff here again.

Helpful staff
Pros:

We've stayed here quite a few times, we love the location and have always found the staff friendly and helpful. This time I had just had a bad fall and wasn't fully mobile so when we checked in I asked for a room with shower rather than bath . After a couple of false starts we were given a room with accessible bathroom, which was great. Thank you.

EXCELLENT!
Pros:

30 Family and Friends stayed at Blackfriars Premiere Inn to attend the wedding of my son. Every member of our party found the staff at this Inn superb. They were incredibly helpful and kind and went out of their way to accommodate small children and elderly grandparents and everyone inbetween. Breakfast on both days of our stay was delicious and generous, and to cap it all off they put a bottle of fizz on ice in the room of the groom. We will definitely stay again. Thank you all.

Great staff, practical location, but pay attention to what you book
Pros:

It is important to consider that booking a standard room means booking a double room, twin rooms apparently only available in premier rooms. That was confusing and we ended accidentally up in a double room, while we wanted a twin room. The locations is practical, close to the Translink station, but the immediate area is not very attractive. Rooms are good, bathrooms is efficient, with a good shower. Breakfast is good, although we missed more continental oriented rolls with cheese or ham or alike. The staff is really very friendly and helpful, that makes a big difference.

Good place for families.
Pros:

We had a family room for two adults and two children. The hotel was welcoming. We were able to leave our luggage in the morning and go and explore London. It’s centrally located and easy to get to the tube. The area around the hotel felt safe. The staff were friendly and gave the children some complimentary sweets.

Poor standards overall
Pros:

The hairdryer in our room didn’t work, the light on the mirror didn’t work, the shower was leaking heavily onto the bathroom floor, the plumbing (?) system was extremely noisy, and the towels didn’t smell clean.

We also had a knock on the door at half 9am on morning of checkout asking if we were out yet by housekeeping - this was a bit of a shock given checkout isn’t until 12pm. Thankfully we were awake to hear the knock but if not, would they have just let themselves in? I’m not sure but either way, shouldn’t have happened.

This was our 3rd stay in this Premier Inn and will be the last unfortunately.

Back Again
Pros:

Second time at this hotel once again attending NFL game at Tottenham.
Location is perfect for transportation being so close to Blackfriars Station.
Hotel is well run. Only complaint is the WIFI which is dodgy.
Breakfast buffet is great! Room is spartan but had all we needed for the week.

Pros:

Sehr gute Lage, sicher und 3-4 Minuten zu Fuß bis zu Blackfriars Tube, und mit der Tube kommt man sehr schnell überall hin. Auch zu Fuß ist man relativ schnell an meisten Sehenswürdigkeiten.

Ein Mitarbeiter (relativ jung, südländisches europäisches bzw. lateinamerikanisches Erscheinen) war leider konstant wenig freundlich, was sehr schade war, alle anderen - wirklich super freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Die Sauberkeit war gut. Das Abendessen haben wir nicht probiert, das Frühstück war vollkommen in Ordnung, typisch englisch, aber auch Gebäck, Croissants etc., wir waren zufrieden.

Vielen Dank, wir wollen sehr gerne wieder kommen.
