Will definitely return to stay again
Pros:

We will definitely stay here again. We arrived via Kings Cross, so Archway was ideally placed a few tube stops from there. Directly near Archway underground. Shops close by if need be. Very attentive and kind staff. Whole place seemed lovely and relaxed. We all slept really well. Breakfast in the morning was delicious. A definite winner, thank you

Great location, friendly staff, good local amenities
Pros:

This was our second stay at the Premier Inn at Archway. On our last visit in the summer of 2025, there was building work going on so the outside of the hotel was covered in scaffolding. On this visit, the scaffolding had all gone and the hotel looked smart and welcoming from the outside. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the screen checkout was very straightforward. We had a Premier Room and this was very clean and equipped with a kettle, coffee machine, small fridge and supplies of tea and coffee, more of which could be obtained from Reception. We didn't use the restaurant during this stay as we spent a lot of time in the city but we did visit a lovely local pizzeria about 3 minutes' walk from the hotel called Crudough who serve delicious pizzas - including offering a gluten-free base. Archway Tube station is a few minutes' walk from the hotel and there is an M&S food near the entrance to the station and a Co-op, Aldi and Sainsburys Local a short walk away. It takes about 15-20 minutes on the Northern Line to reach Kings Cross/St Pancras so a really convenient place to stay. We will definitely return!

Fantastic stay
Pros:

What a great experience at this Hotel. I have stayed at many Premier Inns and this was certainly the best of all the stays.

Location is great right next to the Tube for easy access into central London and Camden.

It was clean, tidy and welcoming. The staff were amazing and made you feel welcome and were very helpful. Bedroom was clean and tidy and the bed was very comfy. The breakfast was fantastic value and high quality with plenty of choice and quality food. Again the staff were fantastic checking everyone had what they needed and keeping the restaurant clean and tidy during a busy breakfast.

Recommend a stay here.

Just a room for parkrun
Pros:

Additional night in London after a two day conference, so we could do a nearby parkrun. Everything was as expected and we always try to stay with Premier Inn if we can.

The Scaffolding is Gone!
Pros:

This is a hotel I always come back to when visiting family in London. The staff are really friendly and helpful and it was lovely to see on my visit on 4/5 Nov 25 that the scaffolding is at last down, the temporarily boarded part of the restaurant is reopened and the right hand lift is working. What more could I want? Well, the restaurant menu seems more comprehensive and meal options really suited adults and my grandchildren alike.

Hotel Location Good, Car Parking Scary!
Pros:

For location you cant argue, close to the Tube, Hospital etc however when we arrived we couldn't access the car park which was pre-booked and paid for. Despite numerous presses of the buzzer there was no answer. The gates opened as there was someone leaving. We were then let into the Hotel without issue and checked in. About an hour later we had to return to the car to collect belongings and then found we couldn't get back in as the card reader wouldn't accept the card and the intercom was not being answered, we walked though the car park which was frequented by rough sleepers who had obviously had a few drinks, were shouting and rude. the 2nd entrance and still the card reader wouldn't allow access, the intercom was answered and we were told to go to the front entrance however the car park gates were closed, we eventually found a button for a pedestrian gate obviously not meant for Hotel Guests as wasn't clearly marked. Reception apologised about the Card Readers not working AGAIN and said they were short staffed hence not answering the intercom. Luckily there were 2 of us, I wouldn't want to be on my own in the car park struggling to get into the Hotel.

Is Customer service a thing of the past?
Pros:

Staff unavailable to allow access to the hotel at 13:00 from the car park enterance (Early check in booked), buzzer pressed multiple times at two different enterance levels. The car park, had a strong odour of poo, with a toilet in the car park and a homeless person sleeping. On arrival none of the self check in machines worked. Only a single person assisting with check in, with a very long wait in a very hot reception area.

There was no staff serving at the hotel bar around 16:00, when a staff member was approached at the reception, we were advised rudely "no you will have to wait" with no appology and with a smug impression on his face.

The room was adequate, the breakfast was good and the breakfast greeter was nice & pleasant (Only member of staff with a welcoming attitude)

Very good experience
Pros:

What you would expect from a Premier Inn. Clean, tidy and reasonably priced. Excellent location for anyone travelling into London from the North by car. Located at the end of the A1. Easy access to pre booked carpark. Hotel next to an Underground station so ideal for travelling around London. Good choice of cafes nearby.

Pros:

We had to change rooms due to the a/c not working properly. Our second room had no working refrigerator and the shower sprayed all over the bathroom. We reported the shower problem twice but no one came to repair it. Wouldn’t recommend this property!
The surrounding area is nice.
