Great location and service
Pros:

Great location near London Bridge, but good value as well. Is a quaint hotel, fitting in with the architecture. Handy to get to the South Bank area, but also near to London Bridge and Waterloo to get around London. Like all Premier Inns very high standard of bed that you can expect at all hotels. Comfortable. Would recommend.

A great stay
Pros:

Great hotel, we visited with our two teenage kids.
Location is excellent, in a really lively area but it was so peaceful & quiet at night, we all slept great as the beds in our family room were so comfy.

The girl on reception on Sunday morning was so friendly, and the chef on breakfast was also very accommodating.

A great trip!

Shabby and understaffed.
Pros:

Return visit. Great central location. Option to leave a bag before check-in is always appreciated. Check-in was VERY busy and had to wait ages - actually standing outside in the rain!!!!! as the small reception lobby was packed and only one person on duty. Staff are friendly and helpful but obviously stretched and overworked. The beds are comfy and rooms just about clean enough, but communal areas are shabby and grotty. Feels like too much to pay for shabby, grotty, worn-out and understaffed. Premier Inn needs to do better.

It’s a great spot that can lead you to different attractions and transportation. There’s gift shops nearby and restaurants. The staff is friendly and the room was very clean. I would return to this hotel for my future trip to London.

Very nice surprisingly quiet
Pros:

Short walk from London Bridge and Borough market.
Sat next to an historic pub called the anchor overlooking the river .
Plenty in the area to see and do such as “the golden hind ship” The Shard etc.
Lots of nice eateries all over and some fantastic sea food stalls in Borough Market.
Hotel itself is nice and clean and we had some chocolate left on bed with a nice postcard (never had that before) reception guy was quick efficient and friendly and check in smooth , I still hate the fact that you get packs of Nescafé coffee and pg tips tea in premier inns maybe use Yorkshire tea and nicer coffee -no bottles water either .
Tip-ask for third floor as we are on floor one and noise people walking around above is quite loud .
Definitely stay again for location
If you like Indian food book the Shad Indian which is near although bit pricey the food is excellent as is the service.
Overall a lovely stay

Pros:

Struttura silenziosa e pulita, il personale molto gentile e disponibile con reception aperta 24/24. La camera, seppur piccola, molto confortevole e accogliente. Ottima posizione in un quartiere ben collegato, ricco di attività ma molto tranquillo. Colazione ben assortita. Lo consiglio!

Fantastic staff loved it.
Pros:

The staff at this hotel go above and beyond helping.
From the minute we checked in untill the minute we left they looked after us.
We came to stsy for two nights to watch coldplay at Wembley.
I unfortunately had a fall on the first day and needed help accessing hospital and Leanne gave me all the information I needed and made it so much easier.
She was very helpful and conceroand the best day asked me if I was ok. Great asset to the hotel.
Gerald was very helpful with booking our breakfasts and booking taxis, helping in the restraunt as well.
The hotel is lovely and welcoming great rooms with large baths just what you need at the end of the day.
Excellent will defenetly be bsvk to this hotel.
