Premier Inn London Farringdon - Smithfield

My wife and I stayed at this Premier Inn at Paddington Station from November 19 to 27, 2025. We stayed in Room 405 on the 4th Floor, which was a Standard Double room. We initially chose this hotel due to its close proximity to Paddington Station, and we're so glad we did! We loved the fact that we could simply walk across the street from the hotel and stroll directly into Paddington Station.

The room itself was just fine for my wife and I. It was very clean and well-kept, with nearly no signs of wear and tear on the furniture. The interior decor was very modern and minimalistic. One other thing about the room was the fact that the sound proofing was quite impressive. Considering the fact that our room overlooked the street that's typically busy with traffic, we could hardly hear the outside noises. The mattress was very comfortable (to me), but my wife mentioned to me she preferred it to be a tad firmer. There was plenty of space in the room for us to relax during the evening when we're done with exploring the surrounding London area.

Even though we did not opt for the daily breakfast deal, the front desk staff member that checked us in (Sorry, I forgot her name) offered us a couple days of complimentary access to the breakfast so we can try it out. We were pleasantly surprised with the breakfast! It was a hot breakfast buffet and they served 'English Breakfast' foods such as sausage, beans, various types of eggs, hashed brown triangle, English bacon, mushrooms, and grilled tomatoes. The quality was actually decent overall, but we opted to not continue with the breakfast meal plan since we wanted to venture out to try other places for breakfast.

Overall, this hotel was superb value for use since we loved its location. If we ever visit London again in the near future, we would definitely consider staying here again!

Premier inn Shepherds bush road was ideally located really close to Hammersmith station, Riverside Studio and The Apollo.
We stayed in a room on the 5th floor. It was quiet and very clean. Bed was comfortable and we had everything we needed.
Breakfast was good value and both hot and continental food available.
Friendly staff. Would recommend.

I stayed at this hotel and the shower had no hot water at all from the moment I checked in. I reported the issue immediately, but nothing was fixed during my stay.

Despite the hotel failing to provide a basic amenity, they refused to offer any refund or compensation and kept insisting on their policy instead of taking responsibility. Their attitude was unprofessional, and customer care was completely nonexistent.

This was honestly one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had. I strongly advise others to avoid this place, as you may not get even the minimum level of service — and they will not stand behind their own failures.

The hotel was easy to get to and the reception staff were friendly and helpful. However, I stayed at this hotel twice, a week apart, and on the second stay I arrived around midday, so decided to eat lunch in the hotel restaurant. But when I asked if the restaurant staff could check the ingredients of a dish, because I have an intolerance to a couple of common ingredients that aren't a major allergens, so not listed in their allergen information, I was met with a flat refusal by the staff as it was, quote, "against company policy".

Very comfy, clean and good sized room. I was in London for business so this was perfect for me. The staff were really helpful and friendly.

Stayed in one of the premium rooms. Great to have a fridge for small meals etc. Being across from the station made getting around easy. Also great access to grocery shops and restaurants. Hotel was clean, quiet, and had all the amenitie as advertised. You know what you are getting with this chain hotel . Would not hesitate to stay here again.

Excellent location, great staff, clean and comfortable. Ideal for music venues, and right by the tube. Very accessible.

Great location for sightseeing, theatre tube and buses. Clean comfy rooms, great friendly staff. Nice bar and restaurant, good meal options nice breakfasts.

i stayed in room 323 from 14/11 to 17/11. On the last day, before i checked out, i developed red dots on my skin which are due to bed bugs. It is now 5 days after i checked out and the spots on my skin are getting more angry and few more have appeared.

A premier inn is a Premier inn. You know what to expect .And that’s good. Despite being on a main road , you could not hear even the noisiest largest HGV due to 2 layers of double glazing - so quad glazed. The breakfast was good as always .My only suggestion is to have warmed plates. Food goes cold very quickly otherwise

Good location but did not feel secure. Nice room, good staff and food. Decent prices for central London. Reception never manned and anyone without a keycard is able to walk into the hotel right to the bedrooms. This needs to he urgently addressed

The colleague who dealt with me when I arrived was very welcoming and accommodating to me she was very pleasant I wish I had gotten her name to personally thank her

I stayed at this Premier Inn with my 9 year old son to attend the London Comic Con and we had a fantastic experiences. After a slightly traumatic train journey due to weather - related disruption, this Premier Inn provided exactly what we needed.
Check in was super straightforward. The hotel was SO CLEAN it even smelled nice in the hallway leading to the rooms. The room was very spacious for London, and again, very clean and comfortable.
My biggest praise however goes to the staff serving breakfast as we asked for veggie sausages and I can't get over how quickly they arrived. Also, they were super kind and the breakfast area probably the nicest one I have ever seen in a Premier Inn.
Thanks so much, I'm definitely going to be back.

Fantastic service! The staff are so friendly and very helpful with all the inquiries that I had. The reception staff was very welcoming and was not hesitant to assist any problems that I had. Would 100% come back again for another stay!

Perfect location and really kind staff, comfortable rooms, delicious breakfast. They also gave me a little gift and a card for my birthday. I was with my family (twi children ) and some friends. Perfect for families, my children loved It

Excellent staff, clean and comfortable hotel ideally placed for the Barbican and city. Excellent breakfast. Great value for money.

Fantastic stay at this hotel. Everything we needed was nearby. Room was very clean; soap and shampoo were lush; shower was fabulous.

I really enjoyed staying at the Premier Inn, and was very nicely surprised at how helpful and friendly all the staff was. And the hotel is brilliantly located near Hammersmith Tube station, which really helps. Thank you!

Location is ideal for all your needs, less than a 2 minute walk to Hammersmith Tube. Easy check in/out. Rooms a good size with a great overhead shower.
Breakfast was spot on. Would stay again

Nice stay! Clean rooms and friendly staff! Also we were guests of the day, winning a free mini bottle of wine! Breakfast was very good too!
