My husband and I stayed in. Premier Plus room , it was a good size , mattress very comfortable and extra pillows were available in the room if you needed them. The bonus of a coffee maker was great as was the fridge for cool drinks. …

Excellent. Much better than the Victoria hotel of the same chain. Much newer and nicer than I expected. Really seems pretty new and very clean. Room was perfect size wise, not tight or anything. Shower was wonderful. Breakfast was pretty great, despite bacon being quite hard one morning (great rest of the time) and the usual pork plus seasoning sausages (not sure what happened the ordinary pork sausage). Staff and food (breakfast) are both great. I did not have lunch or dinner here so can't comment on those aspects. Location is great, about 5-10 minutes from Farringdon station, thus you're connected to national rail, Elizabeth line and underground, trains. Excellent. Solid value for money. This and the Drayton Court Hotel in Ealing are my two default hotels when I visit London (depending where I'm going). Highly recommended!

I had a lovely stay at Premier Inn Farringdon. I was surprised when I found out I had a basement room but really pleased it had a window. Super comfortable and spacious room. I left my charger on set and spoke with Jodie at reception who very kindly lent me her phone charger. Excellent customer service.

This is a nice hotel in a very quiet area of London. Our Room was clean and modern. The bed was very comfortable. For breakfast, the food was perfect although it did get a little bit busy and congested at peak times. …

This Premier Inn was honestly better than the much fancier hotel I stayed at that cost 2x the price. The location is perfect as it's close to several central London train stations, but is nestled on a very quiet street without much traffic. The room was clean enough and had ample space for a central London hotel. I honestly can't believe how much cheaper this place was than the average central London hotel while still providing everything you need.

Always our go to place to stay when in London. It acts as a close base for my husband’s work but also a great place for exploring London, especially the city. Rooms are as expected. Quiet location. Good value. We don’t usually have breakfast as there are plenty of local spots even at the weekend when most spots are closed there are still breakfast options to be found.

Comfortable room. Handy location for a lot of things, including the Barbican Centre. Breakfast was a bit disappointing, although plentiful, but we had to queue for a table and they seemed a bit short-staffed. Still we enjoyed our stay and will probably go back as there is lots to do in the area.

I stayed at the hotel on the 20th October to 22nd October and I have left an important SD card in my room (152) and upon calling the hotel repeatedly for two days, I have been unable to reach anyone. I'm sure I'm being charged for these calls, yet there is no facility to leave a message, hence why I've had to resort to this option. If this is the direction of travel for hotels I would advise not leaving the hotel until you have thoroughly inspected it. One would also assume the hotel would be keen to reach me if I'd left something of value. SD cards are not cheap and the content more valuable than the card themselves, however, not a peep from them. I would suggest finding a hotel with a good track record for customer service.
