hub by Premier Inn London Clerkenwell hotel

This is my second stay at the Clerkenwell Hub - it's convenient for me as it's relatively near (a bus or taxi ride - or a 20 minute walk) to Kings Cross Station. On this occasion I upgraded to the larger room, but I probably wouldn't do so again as the extra space was minimal and the window was frosted. I think if travelling alone, the smaller (windowless) room is perfectly adequate - if travelling as a couple, the smallest room would be too claustrophobic imo. Cleanliness was good, I like the light and heat controls and the large TV, but although the bed was comfortable, the pillows weren't. My main beef - and it really was an inconvenience - was the god-awful hairdryer. It sounded like a road drill and turned on and off intermittently. I would have presumed it was broken, except I had the exact same problem last time I stayed, in a different room. It was impossible to dry my hair, and if I was staying again I'd bring my own. This could be a deal breaker though, as lugging a hairdryer is something I'd prefer not to have to do. Expecting a fully functioning dryer in the room shouldn't be too much to ask - budget hotel or not. It's worth noting that the hotel is about a 10 minute walk away from the nearest tube (Farringdon), although the number 63 bus passes by the door very frequently - taking you to Farringdon or Blackfriars tube stations in minutes. I didn't have breakfast at the hotel, preferring to try cafes locally. Exmouth Market is very close by.

Great value hotel in the heart of Farringdon/Clerkenwell area, close to Exmouth Market and Farringdon station. The staff are really friendly and helpful. The room is small, but perfect for a solo traveller for a few nights. Bedroom and bathroom were spotless, and the bed was very comfortable. I'd definitely stay here again.

Convenient location near Old Sessions House, around 8 mins walk from Farringdon Tube Station. It feels like a really safe area; I had no concerns as a female walking there at night. Very spacious bar and lounge area, friendly staff and 24 hour check-in. The bathrooms weren't quite as pristine as you'd usually expect with Hub hotels, but hopefully will be refurbished before too long, bringing the score up to 5 stars again.

Had an excellent stay in a lovely quiet room. Everything you need and super clean functional space. The staff are super polite and attentive. I will be coming again . The 2 for £12 cocktails are always a great perk after a long day . Thank you to the team

Great location - we have stayed here a few times and there is so much in the area. Good value given that and as a relatively new site, the rooms are all fresh and clean. Big thanks to David & the team this time for helping us to print and sign/witness some forms.
