Ideally located as it's right by the London Eye on the South Bank. It's just a short walk from Waterloo tube or railway station and the Embankment tube isn't far away either.

I feel that this Premier Travel Inn is the best for families visiting London. Not only because it's most economical (and under 15's eat breakfast free) but the rooms here are very spacious. I've yet to located in a pokey room here. The walls are thick here (think this was an ex-Govt/Council building) so noise from neighbouring rooms isn't as bad as some modern hotels with paper thin walls.

The rooms are clean with the standard Premier Inn decor and facilities but this hotel offers a free luggage room. So, if you arrive early and they are unable to book you in, you can leave your luggage in their secure room, go off and explore without lugging bags around.

In the breakfast area there is a waiter at the door to check your room number or take payment (you can choose to pay for breakfast upon booking in or on the morning.) S/He will the show you to a table and explain the layout. This is a self-serice area which I've found to be less hectic than other Premier inn hotels. They offer a range of hot foods as well as toast, cereals, fruit, muffins etc with hot and cold drinks. Breakfast is extra here at £7.50 but it's eat as much as you want.

I always recommend this hotel to families as it's just so ideal. When my partner and i stay in London we opt for this hotel because of it's location. There are so many thinngs within easy reach (covent garden 25 min walk) and there are almost always street entertainers along the south bank. Well worth it and highly recommended.
