Premier Inn London Southwark (High St)

The hotel is located in central area and tower bridge is close by. The rooms are spacious and clean. Staff is friendly and professional.

My daughter and I stayed for one night. I’d rung up earlier in the week to request early check in and the room was ready at our requested early arrival time. The hotel is in a great location and worked really well for us as we went to a West End show on the Saturday (two stops on the train from London Bridge to Charing Cross) and something at the 02 on Sunday (Thames Clipper to North Greenwich). Every single member of staff we interacted with was cheerful and helpful and I was delighted to receive a note with a gift of chocolates and a rose to mark Mother’s Day (as well as some chocolates in our room when we arrived), which was a lovely touch. I would definitely stay here again on another trip to London.

The room was as standard as Premier Inn gets, but the WiFi wasn't working and the only way I could get mobile signal was by literally pressing my phone against the window glass. Not good when travelling with small kids for either their entertainment at the end of a long day, or parents when kids have gone to bed. The air con in our room also didn't seem to be working. We hadn't twigged the first night as it was cool anyway, but by the time we realised on the 2nd night the kids were asleep so nothing we could do about it. Location was okay for couples or friends as the pubs seemed good, but I would stay north of the river next time with the kids for ease of tube connections.

The Premier Inn London Southwark (Borough High St) is in a prime location close to the London Bridge rail/tube station, opposite fashionable (and expensive) Borough Market. There are many busy bars and eateries in the vicinity. However, be warned: the area generally is not very nice. The hotel is down a side alley that seems popular with the down-and-outs who frequent this part of town and you will need to dodge the odd beggar and splash of pavement pizza if you stay here. Check-in was straightforward and all the staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The room that we had was basic but quite spacious. It boasted an HD TV and a very comfy bed. Despite the location, it was quiet all night and we slept very well. Having said that, the aircon, which worked well enough, did start to crackle during the second night. I think they called ours a room with a view but although you could see the tips of the famous Shard and Walkie Talkie buildings from the window, they were mainly obscured by other buildings. The bathroom was dated but functional. My main beef was with the shower. It was a converted bath with a very slippery floor, a fixed head and a plastic curtain. The bath itself was non-functional. Fine if you’re into 80s retro but most people under 60 would consider that it badly needs updating. Breakfast was good for the price. The hot items were mostly good quality. I’ll single out the sausages and black sausage for praise. However, some items were not refreshed often enough, such as the eggs which became rubbery and the bacon which turned to little sheets of leather. All in all the hotel represents good value for money for tourists and visitors on a low budget - if you’re prepared to put up with a few negatives.

Best hotel i ever stayed. I am seriously in love with this hotel during my stay the staff was friendly and the food was awesome. I couldn't contain my happiness with this hotel. On top of that, great awesome location. What else can I say? I would say also that shops around the hotel is very convenient
