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!

Excellent location
Pros:

Great location, about a 7/8 minute walk to London Bridge station and 2 minutes from Borough Market. There are lots of food options nearby, and a Tesco Express around the corner.

The room was clean and the facilities were decent. I didn't get breakfast but there was also coffee station near reception and a snack machine.

The check-in staff were great and very friendly. The hotel is down a small alleyway but it felt safe for me as a female solo traveller.

I would stay at this location again!

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.

Amazing Aldgate
Pros:

We had an absolutely amazing stay ❤ I travelled with my 11 year old boy fir a theatre visit and to explore London. This hotel was the perfect base, upon arrival the man on reception was extremely helpful and accommodating. The room was clean, a very comfortable bed, with zero noise!! A brilliant breakfast and equally good restaurant which serves great prosecco!! 10 out of 10 for premier inn aldgate!

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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Really nice stay!
Pros:

We stayed at Premier Inn Aldgate and had a great time. The room was comfy and clean, and the staff were all lovely. Breakfast was lovely and wide choice. A big shoutout to Ayesha from reception, who let us have a late check-out since our flight wasn’t until 6pm — it honestly made things so much easier for us! Especially with a toddler. Really appreciated the kindness and flexibility. Would definitely stay here again next time we’re in London for a short trip!

Good staff, but rooms in poor condition
Pros:

We have stayed with Premier Inn many times and usually have a great experience, but this visit was disappointing. We had three different rooms due to damp smells, high humidity and maintenance issues (broken ventilation, air-conditioning turning off, water running down the windows, even mould on the ceiling). The reception staff did their best to help and moved us each time, but the overall room quality was poor. We were also promised a follow-up email about a refund, which we never received. Very unlike our previous stays.

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.
