Clean and good location - jobsworth reception
Pros:

Clean and good location; not sure it was really necessary to keep us waiting when I tried to check in 7 minutes early and then ask for £15. It takes years to build a brand and apparently 7 minutes to ruin it!

Extremely clean, friendly staff and very convenient for the O2 arena
Pros:

The lovely lady who helped us check in was extremely friendly and helpful and the rooms and whole hotel very clean. Breakfast was plentiful and fresh and was constantly being replenished.

We saw Radiohead at the O2 arena and this hotel is perfect and convenient. The queue for the tube was miles long for going back into London which made our trip back to our hotel so easy. We just jumped in the number 161 bus and were home in just 25 mins from when we got out of the stadium. A perfect place to stay for the venue .

One of the best and clean hotel in Woolwich arsenal the rooms are clean services 100 percent on point, when you visit ask of (Sharon) she was nice and welcoming if you ever find yourself at the hotel ask of her. Also the view that over looks the Woolwich dockyard is wonderful, wheelchair access is available among other things.

A great space to work
Pros:

I have visited this hotel regularly throughout most of 2025 for work purposes. There is always a great atmosphere. I feel at home, welcomed, and valued as a customer. It is clear the whole team care about my experience of their hotel and hospitality. They work hard to to ensure my experience is positive and are never intrusive. I will continue to use this hotel and space for my work as it provides exactly what I need to be productive in a friendly, homely atmosphere. Well done Team.

If you are staying there, read this to know what to expect.
Pros:

Due to a student i have in Loughborough I stayed at this hotel. I plan to visit Loughborough quite often. Unfortunately this was my first Premier Inn stay and it came with many surprises. Some of them totally unexpected. First time ever it happened to me in a hotel to ask for a room clean service. When I asked they told me it was written in small print in the back of the key card. Like i ever read key cards!!!! The least he could ask was "is this your first time at premier inn?" here is how we work. Unfortunately he gave me the impression they avoid to say it so that they can save costs.

the second issue was the internet speed. It was horrible. Guys this is 2025. You cannot have dial speeds and expect guests to pay for internet. Why don't you do the same for electricity or water? No further comment - see pic.

the 3rd bad experience was that during the evening I wanted to watch a match, have a drink and a snack. I was told I cannot watch the match and have a snack unless i move 3 tables back due to "restaurant" rules. So we had to watch the match, plan dinner at half time and then go back to watch the match! Of course in the morning at the same table they served breakfast without any rules/issues!!!!

Last was the rudeness of the specific person that handled us. He was always unpolite, rude, and paternizing us. To state the obvious he was not busy and in fact watching the same match as me. Can't say the same for the 2 nice ladies that run breakfast. They were very polite and run like headless chickens to serve a huge number of people.

Unfortunately as the location is convenient i might choose to stay again at this place but i know now that i will ensure i have minimal interaction with the staff and facilities/

A very cold experience
Pros:

One of the worst experiences staying in a hotel, checked in on a very cold night and the room heater wasn’t working, I couldn’t sleep because the room was cold and had to trigger my partners asthma, reported, wrote an email complained about it and nothing was done. Not a good experience at all

Handy, comfortable hotel
Pros:

Nice modern hotel, great position just two minutes from Woolwich tube station and 4 mins from Woolwich Arsenal DLR station. Ideal for walking along the Thames path or exploring the Woolwich Arsenal complex. Slightly further out of the Centre but most places accessible in around 20 mins by tube.

Great place to stay
Pros:

The staff here were both welcoming and friendly. I was especially impressed by their willingness to help and attentiveness to food allergies. I felt both comfortable and safe during my stay here. The room was clean and well maintained and the breakfast was great. I would highly recommend premier inn here in the future.

Bad air con
Pros:

Room was way too hot when asked for heating to be turned down on 2nd night worker said she would do this but laughed at me, at 2.30am husband went down again and worked did turn it down but took ages to cool down enough to sleep ruined the experience. If advertising aircon make it good enough to be effective.
Location was good and room was clean.

Another pleasant stay.
Pros:

Been using this Premier inn for several years, it is in a convenient location with close parking just over the road. The rooms are always as expected - typically clean, well presented and everything you need. I always book the meal deal as it presents such great value and the food is always to good standards (the restaurant area has a great vibe).
What really shines though and has prompted me to write this review are the staff - Tamara, Getys, Sophie, Sandra, Virginia and the rest of the team are a credit to this business. Keep doing what you do team, I look forward to my next visit.

Excellent base
Pros:

The Premier Inn Royal Arsenal was a convenient and well-connected base for our stay. Its location was excellent, with great transport links including the Underground, the Elizabeth Line, and even an Uber Boat station nearby. The high street was within easy reach and offered a variety of shops.

However, the breakfast didn’t quite meet the standard I’ve experienced at other Premier Inns. On the first day, the eggs had some chewy bits, the bananas were overripe, there was no hot chocolate available, and the coffee was only lukewarm.

Nice place and staff
Pros:

Good location for why we booked here, no car park but the multi storey is opposite and cost £7 for 24 hours.
Staff were really friendly, always greeted you and smiled. Breakfast was nice the next day.
The room could have been a little better prepared for our early check in, lots of long dark hairs throughout the room. The toilet seat was loose and I realised at 3.30am when I nearly went flying off it! I reported the next day.
Overall a good stay and I would stay again.
If you like a nice cocktail, just opposite down the road and left is the ‘Little Love Club’, they make amazing cocktails and staff were really nice.

OK if you like a sauna
Pros:

Normally you can rely on a Premier Inn to give a good room at a reasonable price. However, this was not the case here.

Good lord it was like sleeping (or trying to) in a sauna. The room was incredibly hot and humid. The ventilation simply did not seem to work. Normally, I would have opened a window, but this had been locked shut and the handle removed (not sure at all why).

Definitely not the good night expected!

No English mustard.
Pros:

We arrived late and the staff were very helpful. We missed the food however, We could order food in and eat in the bar area. Usual standards in the room only 7 tv channels. Breakfast was standard unfortunately this is the only premier inn out of many, we have stayed that has not had English mustard available.
