First time at a Premier Inn, a great surprise.
Pros:

Well what a surprise having never stayed in a Premiere inn before I really didn’t know what to expect. Upon entering the hotel we were greeted by a lovely gentleman on reception who was the duty manager “Danny” who was most helpful in every way possible. We were both very impressed with this hotel, everything was as advertised, a good bed, nice room and breakfast but most of all great value and super friendly staff. Will you use Premier inns again? We definitely will.

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!

Nice comfortable stay
Pros:

Great location, comfortable room although missed having a bath but shower cubicle a great size.
We couldn’t see out of the window as room was up in the eves and window very high!
The bar area was busy and had a nice atmosphere compared with other Premier Inns.
We only stayed one night for a show which was at the Venue and in walking distance

Excellent stay and can't wait to return
Pros:

I stayed at Premier Inn Algate for a work trip.

After a long journey, I was checked in very quickly by a lovely man. First impressions of the hotel upon entering were great. It's really welcoming, warm and clean.

My room was on the fifth floor. It was a Premier Plus room. I'm not sure I booked a Plus room or it was an upgrade, but it was superb. It was huge, with views of the shard. The bed was massive with clean, crisp linen and very comfortable indeed.

The room also had a lounge chair, desk and chair and wardrobe.

I was pleasantly surprised to find an iron and ironing board which I needed to use. It saved me a trip to reception.

A coffee machine was a lovely touch, as was two mini chocolate bars and water in the mini fridge.

The bathroom was large with a bath. The shower gel and handwash felt luxurious.

I had dinner in the restaurant. I've never come across a steak restaurant within a Premier Inn before. I chose a burger with a mushroom and truffle mayonnaise and fries. Service was good in the restaurant and the food was tasty. Before my meal, they offered a small bowl of popcorn on the table. The popcorn was covered with beef (maybe?) flavouring, and although this isn't something I'd usually go for, I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed a few bites.

Breakfast the following day was superb. Buffet style and plentiful. The cooked selection was hot and quality produce. It had a really nice and relaxed ambience in the restaurant for both dinner and breakfast.

I really enjoyed my stay here and would stay again in a heartbeat.

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.

Quiet, friendly and great location
Pros:

Nice location if heading to Venue Cymru. Quiet at the hotel and staff were super friendly and helpful. Room and bathroom were clean, only had one towel but a quick visit to reception and we were given more. Parked at the train station for 24hrs, was a little further to walk than anticipated. If I could give the staff 10 stars I would.

Great value in a great location
Pros:

We were going to a concert at the theatre in Llandudno so chose this hotel for the central location and cost. We were impressed and thought it was excellent value for money. The room and bathroom were a good size and very clean. We were on the top floor so there was no direct view from the window but that didnt bother us at all. The people who work there were very friendly and welcoming and the breakfast was good value and plentiful. I am vegetarian and there was a good selection for me. We used the railway carpark just round the corner which was £5.50 for 24 hours, again good value.

A brilliant breakfast and equally good restaurant which serves great prosecco!! 10 out of 10 for premier inn aldgate!

A very pleasant weekend break
Pros:

We went to Llandudno years ago and drove past a dirty rundown derelict building in the centre of Llandudno. What a surprise to find that this hotel was that building. What a transformation completely renovated . It is now a bright outstanding building right in the town centre. The bedrooms and dinning area are all very well presented and clean. The actual cooking area is open to view and is spotless. There is also a small bar / lounge area adjacent to the check in desk. The food of which there was quite a choice was well cooked both at dinner and breakfast. Compliments to the chefs. All of the hotel staff were very pleasant and really helpful. I have only one point to make. We had a very large family room with a large bay window but only one chair. There was ample room for another chair and possibly a small table in the window. Other than that the bed and large dressing table were fine. The bathroom which is obviously only a few years old was spotless and bright with its white suit and stainless steel shower (over the bath) which had hand and overhead rose heads.

Great hotel in a good location for all the local attractions
Pros:

Great hotel in an excellent location for all the local attractions and the venue Cymru.(We attended a music show)
The premiere plus room was fabulous and all the staff were very friendly and helpful.

We will be visiting Llandudno again and we will definitely be booking the Premiere Inn.

We would highly recommend it as a great place to stay if visiting Llandudno or places nearby.

The one and only downside was no parking at the hotel but we parked at the nearby railway station for a really reasonable price£5.50 for 24 hrs.
