Warm welcome, Cold room.
Pros:

Great location.
Quiet room which, unfortunately was cold upon arrival.
Had to ask staff for instructions and to ‘reboot’ the heating system which still blew cold air in the middle of the night.

Staff attentive, friendly, chatty.

Despite the fault with the heating, we’re repeat customers and will not let this experience put us off considering Premier Inn again for our stay in Aberdeen when we next visit.

Brilliant
Pros:

We arrived to the hotel on Friday the 14th of November and stayed with 2 supported people until Sunday morning ( 2 nights ).
Since we arrived we were served by the professionals .
Staff was highly professional and excellent customer service.
We were all impressed with the level of care they served us with .
People who served us starting from check in and ending on Sunday morning were always helpful and approaching us with the highest manners and smiles on their faces .
Highly recommended .
Rooms standards were also very satisfying and prices very reasonable.
Especially thanks to staff Ewelina, Justyna and Marta and Tobias who were there all the time and always serving us with brilliant approach and positive energy .
There was another member of staff who served us on Friday evening and she also showed passion and commitment to her position.
Lady had dark hair reaching her shoulders level but unfortunately cant remember the name .
Very satisfied 😊 😊😊

Oh dear, disappointed this time!
Pros:

I have used this hotel for many years now but it’s losing its way. Reception has been automated & there are no visible staff to help. One check in unit was out of order and stayed that way during my 4 days so no rush to be repaired obviously. The carpets & rooms are looking very tired but, to be fair, the hotel was spotless. My room was fine though nowhere to sit except an “office” type chair or the bed. Breakfast was, as usual, excellent. Efficient staff bustled about but I must say, and I don’t normally do this, one member of female staff was incredibly surly & rude when asked if fried eggs would be appearing. I’d been waiting for around 5 minutes. This lady really let her side down as the rest of the staff were very helpful. Overall that breakfast service was poorly organised. The two coffee machines were temporarily unavailable due to no milk in them (fixed quickly when I pointed it out) and the hot serving table was not being checked & replenished as often as it probably should be.
Would I stay again? Yes, probably, as its location and price are good value but its not as good an hotel as it used to be.

Excellent stay
Pros:

Had a great overnight here from the very warm welcome to checking out late morning. The room was brilliantly designed. Small but really comfortable, quiet, and had everything you might need. Great shower and decent hairdryer too.
Plenty of choice at breakfast which was good value and staff were smiling and helpful.
The area feels very safe and it’s super convenient for multiple tube stations as well as shops should you need to buy anything. Highly recommend.

Eat before you arrive!
Pros:

Awful service in restaurant. Very neglectful staff. Too busy talking and watching TV.
Food arrive like someone had attempted to eat it already. Left before pudding arrived as waited half an hour since I’d finished. Not busy in the restaurant at all 4 members of staff talking and watching TV

Poor night’s sleep.
Pros:

Hotel has a fairly grim exterior but we had a friendly welcome and the staff are a highlight. Unfortunately, the room itself did not live up to the usual Premier Inn expectations. The beds were very hard only surpassed by the pillows which were like concrete slabs with no give in them at all. We had booked a twin room but the beds were so close together, we may as well have had a double. The room was stuffy and hot but we could not have the window open due to the close proximity of the road below. If Premier Inn were offering a good night’s sleep guarantee, they failed to deliver.

Golfing break
Pros:

Hotel in Ideal location and at a price to suit our budget. Staff very friendly especially receptionist and bar staff. Only negative is car parking. You pay £10 per day and are not guaranteed a space, very poor and needs to be addressed

Comfortable for short stay and great location.
Pros:

Excellent location, close to Bank tube station but off the main road so quiet at night. Clean comfortable room and friendly, polite staff. The room was small but well designed with space for hanging clothes and a small desk. Ideal for a short stay and great value for money.

Small but perfectly formed.
Pros:

Small but perfectly formed.
Extremely comfortable, tiny bedroom. Friendly staff. Everything as you’d expect other than a filthy carpet that needs to be replaced. (Room 205). Quiet despite being in the heart of the City. My room overlooked a courtyard containing trees - an added bonus. It’s v close to Cannon St and Bank underground stations. Has a Pret a Manger nearby as well as a Sainsbury’s local 5 mins away. It’s 5 mins walk from St Paul’s and the Millennium Bridge.
The hotel is a bit tricky to find as the lane it’s on is unobtrusive. Hold your nerve!
Unlike standard Premier Inns it’s not a completely dark room as the electrics are controlled by a touch panel in the headboard. Take an eye mask if this is an issue for you.
I’d definitely stay here again.

Below Average
Pros:

Start with a positive. Location is ideal.

Unfortunately a few negatives. Some staff nicer than others. Reception isn't the most welcoming. Can be waiting a while for staff to appear whether you check in or simply order a drink at bar. Hotel very tired looking, definitely in need of a freshen up. Room was very smelly, didn't smell clean and had a horrible room looking at back alley which was very grim. As I say a bit of TLC needed in Rooms and other parts of Hotel. The meal deal offered is very average, I got a starter, finished it and almost instantly out came my burger main, small burger obviously kept warm under a heat light, accompanied by maximum 10 small fries/chips at side. Felt like I was just given the bare minimum of hospitality as I had a deal.
Parking a nightmare also depending on when you arrive, not enough spaces for size hotel.
Could be so much better with some tweaks.

Clean and modern
Pros:

We have stayed at Premier Inn Hub hotels before so knew what we were getting, and this one didn't disappoint. I'm glad we opted for the larger room because I think the smaller one would have been a bit too small for both of us, but the larger one, though on the smaller side compared to other hotels, was just fine for a one night stay. The room was very clean and modern, and the downstairs reception area was nice too. We arrived a little early for check in but were kindly allowed to check in a little before 3pm. The only thing I wasn't too keen on was the glass door to the bathroom as it didn't provide much of a sound barrier! It's worth noting for others that there is no coffee and tea facility in the rooms but you can go downstairs to get some instead at no charge. There were two bottles of water in the room, which was handy for us as I don't drink hot drinks anyway. The hotel is very close to Bank underground station, and all in all it made a great base for our stay.

Great location & value for money
Pros:

I stay here often and love the location. It’s clean, beds are comfy and staff are usually very helpful. It’s very warm and we always need the window open. The quilt on the bed is super cosy but in the summer months way too heavy. I feel they should be providing a thinner quilt during summer months or at least having one available in the storage unit.

Bad
Pros:

Boogies on the wall. There was a fan outside the room that made a loud noise all night. Insanely hot at night. Very dusty. Toilets smelt like a mix of old pee and beef hula hoops. There vending machine scammed me out of a snickers also we were looking forward to the breakfast all day and then got there and there were NO HASH BROWNS !!!!!! The room was very very crowded . Only one towel and there was no reception to give us other towels. Blue marks all over the shower curtain. We had to go to Asda and buy fly spray because there was so many flys. We were going to go for a nice beverage BUT the pub shut at 9pm. Abandoned cars in the field across the road made me feel as if I was entering a haunted house. The light was wonky. The view was a brick wall. There was a nice picture on the wall though. There was a skiddy in our toilet made me sick (literally) Would not recommend.
