"Good value on a Sunday night"

I stayed here for a Sunday night, attracted by the very reasonable price. The hotel is in a quiet location on the edge of the City but within easy walking distance of bus and tube. My room was very clean and comfortable, and the restaurant for the usual very good Premier Inn breakfast was large and pleasant. I'd stay here again.

"Thumbs Up"

Close to two tube stations and a short walk to St. Paul’s square & the first dates hotel (if you’re interested). Lovely clean, modern hotel serving a great breakfast. Exceptionally friendly staff who were all really helpful. Rooms were very quiet with minimal noise. Only slight gripe is I hate the fact you can’t open a window and the second room we had just had a pain of frosted glass you couldn’t even see out of. Maybe more of an issue in the summer. Were only in our rooms to sleep, spent most our time out sight seeing.

"Has potential but needs improvement."

Pro’s +Quiet location and easy to get to +Allowed us to check-in early as room was ready +Clean room and hotel Con’s -Only realised after getting undressed to shower that there was only a single bath towel in the room and my partner had just used it. No phone in the room to call reception so I had to get dressed and go down 5 floors to get a towel. This is a double room, a basic thing is to have 2 towels. -Only a single lift for the whole hotel which is also used by staff and cleaners. Often have to wait a few minutes to use it. Pretty frustrating. -Breakfast was a shambles. Sit down and ask for some gluten free toast for my partner. Go up to get some food. 10am on Sunday and no bacon, sausage, beans, bubble and squeak or tomatoes available. After waiting 10 minutes to get some bacon (gave up on other items), go back to table and it’s bean cleared and relaid so all of our drinks have been taken. Go back to the coffee machine to replace the coffee and the machine is now not working. Gave up on coffee. Having chased twice more for the gluten free toast, it arrived and was toasted on one side only. The other side was raw. Had to put it through the toaster which then burned the side which had been toasted. At this point my partner had finished the rest of her breakfast anyway, so gave up on gluten free toast. I decided to try a pancake which turned out to still be frozen in the middle! Gave up on pancake. To sum up breakfast, the tables we were at had massive lamp shades above them and we saw at least 5 people bang their heads on them quite forcefully. Really daft design. Overall this would make me question using premier inns again. I booked it as my previous experiences of premier inns reassured me that I would be getting a consistent standard but I wish I’d stayed somewhere else and gone out for breakfast, at least we would have got something to eat and drink.

"slept well"

Stayed here as convenient for business, situated between Smithfield market and St Barts. Stayed in room 210 which was spotlessly clean, without any marks on any of the walls and also without a window (curtain used for pretence). All the usual things you expect from a Premier Inn in the room and at breakfast. All staff friendly and helpful - thank you.

"Comfortable business stays"

It is my 3rd visit to this particular Premier Inn hotel. All 3 were positive, with one I was even given a larger room with additional sofa bed. It is rather simple hotel, no facilities beyond rooms, restaurant, some tables to work and vending machines close to reception. The reception offers an option to do check in by yourself, I have not yet tried it though. Needs to be said that personnel although young is very polite, helpful and professional. It is noticeable they all rotate across various functions during given week. The hotel itself is very close to Smithfield Market, with some historic sites and plenty of pubs and restaurants around. Rooms are quite small, but very clean and reasonably comfortable. There is no real wardrobe, just a set of hangers behind a mirror. Rooms have basic equipment like electric kettle and hair dryer. Beds are large, maybe a bit too soft for me and with a very warm quilt. Rooms are really quiet and sleep quality is good, though it sometimes becomes rather stuffy at night. There is only one elevator leading to rooms which can make you wait some time, unless you use the stairs. The restaurant is spacious and offers reasonable (but by no means top) dinner meals. Butchers Hook and Cleaver located nearby can be considered a good alternative. Breakfasts are very simple, always the same set of sunny side ups, overcooked scrambled, excellent bacon, very good sausages, hash browns and beans + some bread (and toasting machine), pastry, flakes, milk and some fruit. You can order eggs in 3 additional options. Despite that when you find the right set for you it is quite tasty and fills you well. The staff will attempt to seat you which is nice, but irritating when there is a queue waiting and only one member taking care of this. Overall a good place to stay during business trips, one thing that can definitely be improved is internet that is about adequate in speed and quality, but gets disconnected at every floor you pass and also every time you turn off your device (need of re-login).

Hotel description You'll have London's top attractions right on your doorstep when you stay at our Premier Inn London Farringdon (Smithfield) hotel. The historic Smithfield Market is less than a 10-minute walk away, as is the world-famous St Paul's Cathedral, which is unmissable for a taste of the capital's history. There's plenty nearby to keep culture-lovers entertained, whether you're visiting the latest exhibitions at the Museum of London, or watching a performance at the Barbican centre. Explore the local shops and bars around Farringdon, and at the end of the day, return to the hotel for a tasty meal at our in-house Thyme restaurant.
