Perfect
Pros:

Stayed for two nights for a football match and concert in London. Fabulous location literally a minute from Leicester Square and walking distance everywhere. Compact room but everything you need. Warm, comfy bed, hot shower. Very quiet. Perfect.

Great location, friendly staff, clean
Pros:

The location of this hotel is great. It was a 5 mins walk from Southwark tube station, its also opposite the Tate Modern meaning its a 5mins walk to the River. As soon as you walk in the downstairs area (The Social) is very clean and welcoming. Staff were very friendly, at check in and went we down for breakfast. The room was clean and spacious. Lots of information in the room regarding food/offers/how to use the heating system etc! We chose the continental breakfast in the morning and there was more than enough variety and lots of space to sit. Would definitely use this hotel again.

Convenient location, rooms a little lacking
Pros:

Picked the hotel due to its proximity to Leicester Square and Covent Garden. The hotel itself was quiet, despite being right by a number of theatres are bars, and not only a short walk to the immediate tourist spots, but also a short distance from a few underground stations. (Charring Cross, Covent Garden and Leicester Square)

Room itself was generally fine. Room has a mix of regular plug sockets and some USP ports, but the USB ports were slow-charging, so I'd recommend having an adaptor with you.
While compact, the room didnt feel cramped, and the controls for the heating and lighting was simple enough to figure out.
Only issues with the room was the shower had a tendency to leak do to a wide gap when the shower doors are closed, and a lack of tea-making facilities in the room itself, with guests having to go to the bar in order to get hot drinks (Though coffee and tea is free for guests)

I think for 1 person, the rooms are the right size, could feel like a squeeze for 2, especially with only a small section to hand up cloths, and a single seat next to the bed.

OK....but
Pros:

We arrived at 10am and left our details and suitcases. When we arrived back at 3.45pm our room still wasn't ready, which was pretty disappointing when we had booked well in advance. We had been walking for 5 hours and really wanted to relax.

We were offered a complimentary drink, which was appreciated.

When we got into the room approximately 4.20pm there was only one set of towels. We asked for another set and had to chase up, as they did not arrive.

Overall, the room was very nice. Hotel staff were great and it is a good location for Borough Market and central London.

The PI hairdryers have improved and I understand why you fix them to the wall.....but it's hard trying to dry your hair with a dryer that only reaches 2ft.

We couldn't get the heating to work, so pretty chilly in the room.

All in all, not bad for a budget hotel in London.

Would not return
Pros:

First the good points. Great location if you’re doing theatre shows or tourist stuff. Plenty of nearby bars and restaurants. Rooms are very compact. Best for solo travellers. My room was freezing cold. The temperature controls did nothing to stop the unit blasting out cold air. Had to eventually obtain a portable heater. And I wasn’t the only person complaining about this. Also, three different wifi options appeared. Two of them (premier inn free wifi snd ultimate premier inn wifi) wouldnt connect at all and “hub by premier inn wifi” would connect, but for about 30 seconds at a time.

Ideal Location and Friendly Staff
Pros:

I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. It’s practically in the city center, which made it incredibly convenient to reach all the main attractions on foot or by public transport. The room was a bit small, but it was comfortable and had everything I needed for a short stay. The staff were always kind, helpful, and ready to assist with any request. Overall, a great choice for anyone looking to explore the city with ease!

Weekend in London
Pros:

The carpet was so dirty that my socks turned black. We did have 2 rooms, and the same with both of them, all the water tabs do not have running water, they spray the water. The location is excellent, check in and out quickly, and they can keep your luggage if you have a late flight

Waiting for a refund.
Pros:

I booked the only room available - a premier plus accessible room. I didn’t need it to be accessible, so I emailed the hotel to say that I would be happy to swap to a standard room if one became available so that a disabled person could book the accessible room. When I got there I asked for a room with a bath (in what reality is standing in a shower a luxury???) and I was put in a standard room. Not a problem. I asked them to refund the difference, as I had paid for the premier plus room. The receptionist said the refund would be done, but it hasn’t happened yet.

The room itself was fine, and I had a lovely soak in the bath.

Very comfortable and a great location
Pros:

The hotel staff were welcoming, and the room was cosy and clean. Bed was very comfortable and the light switches and charging plugs were conveniently located. As a solo traveller I felt safe and secure, and it was quiet. The breakfast was great value, with cafe au lait, fresh yogurt and fruit, etc. for only 6 pounds.

Short weekend break
Pros:

Great location, clean and the staff where friendly polite and very helpful. Breakfast was £6 which is a bargain in london . not cooked but continental, which was more than adequate . Would stay again, only thing i would say rooms are small but you only use the hotel as as base to sleep so no issue for me but might be for others .

Lovely friendly hotel. Perfect location.
Pros:

Excellent friendly staff who were very helpful. Lovely clean room. The location is perfect for the Tate Modern and just a 5 minute walk down to the river. Easy access to Southwark tube for transport across the river to the theatres and the rest of London.
