London Putney Bridge Premier Inn, London

Advantages: Excellent value, location
Disadvantages: Basic hotel

...I try to arrange a couple of days break for my husband and myself, away from the children, every Easter holiday and we like to visit London and see the sites. If you are looking for reasonably priced accommodation in central London then Premier Travel Inn is probably your best bet. I considered three - County Hall, near the London Eye; London Bridge, north side of the bridge and Southwark. I have to admit that I didn't know where Southwark was until I looked on a map and I was surprised to find out how central to everything it was, so I chose to stay here. The Premier Travel Inn Southwark is about eight minutes walk from London Bridge Underground Station - so make sure that your luggage has wheels! I struggled but had a rest in the grounds of Southwark Cathedral at the halfway point. Doctor Who fans may remember the episode... Read review

Advantages: Good rooms and service
Disadvantages: Quite remote

...This is a step above most of the premier travell inns I have stayed at previously. The reception staff were friendly and helpful, dealing easily with around 20 of us arriving at once in less than half an hour. The rooms are fairly standar from PTIs, which on the whole is good all round. The bathrooms are especially nice with large baths (useful for us of the larger persuation) and everything laid out nicely. The cafe/resteraunt/bar area is nice and comfortable, definately better than most of them. the availability of a pool table and awell stoked bar was a nice addition over most hotels of this type. Breakfast was well stocked and of high quality all round. The hotel itself is quite remote to look at, but is within a few minutes walk of the Excel centre (which dominates the skyline), a very nice chinese resteraunt... Read review

Advantages: Sensible price, useful location, no pretentions
Disadvantages: no frills (but then it doesn't pretend to have any)

...Let's be up-front about this: there is very little "inn" about a Premier Travelinn. I'm prepared to warrant that not a single one of them lurks near a village green, nestles under a thatched roof, has beamed ceilings or an open fire. They do not abound in those quaint niceties conjured by the word inn. In fact, many of them don't even count as an inn in the literal sense - since they do not themselves provide food, but rely on a reciprocal arrangement with an adjacent hostelry. Is this a criticism? Not in the slightest. I would not choose a Travelinn for a romantic holiday or an indulgent weekend?but for a city-break or a business trip when I need nothing more than security, comfort and convenience I use Travelinn most of the time. Their "Tower Bridge" branch is fast becoming a regular haunt. LOCATION: None of what... Read review
