Premier Inn – St Pancras

Quite possibly the most conveniently located budget hotel in London, being less than 5 minutes walk from Euston, St Pancras and King’s Cross stations, it’s easy to get to almost any area of London as well as Gatwick, Heathrow and Luton airports. And if you really feel like pushing the boat out you could rest your head here before hopping the Eurostar to Paris. Also, while the hotel is right on Euston Road, thankfully the double glazing is really good and you won’t be bothered by traffic noise at night.
The set-​up is the standard for a Premier Inn: decent-​sized rooms with comfy double beds, functional and clean bathrooms, free wi-​fi, a bar, and restaurant. This location has only been open since late-​2014 so everything is still relatively new and shiny. While none of the rooms are tiny there is a bit of a mix of sizes and it’s generally pot luck which one you get.
The restaurant in this hotel is the Thyme brand and offers a decent selection of choices, with a particular emphasis on options from the grill. The food is reliable rather than exciting but when you’ve arrived late from a journey it does the trick (especially as there’s not a huge choice of other options in the surrounding area). The breakfast is pretty decent, and the range of options available has just been extended.
As with most Premier Inn locations the staff are always friendly and helpful, keen to make sure your stay is comfortable. This is one of the reasons that keeps me coming back to this hotel. The price is another, if you book early this hotel represents one of best balances of quality and cost in the area.

Location, location location! Bang in the middle of three of London’s most important rail transport hubs on the Euston Road, the new Premier Inn St Pancras was just the ticket. We arrived at Euston station a 5 minute stroll along the road, and spent the weekend in and out of the St Pancras and Kings Cross to get us around London’s hotspots. The latter stations being almost directly across the road from the hotel. You’d be hard pushed to find a handier spot!
Room-​wise ours was slightly bigger than the standard Premier Inn Room and despite overlooking the busy Euston Road we were not troubled by noise courtesy of the triple-​glazed window. The hairdryer was excellent, if you ran out of tea and coffee reception would give you more, and it goes without saying with Premier Inns that the bed was incredibly comfortable.
The staff were as ever for this brand delightful and eager to please, and the cosy residents lounge bar was made especially enjoyable betweet 6pm and 8pm when all drinks were priced at 2 for 1. Anyone coming from Scotland where happy hour is not permitted will especially appreciate this. Non alcoholic drinks were included in this remarkable good for London offer. Food-​wise this branch has a Thyme Restaurant which we did not use in the evening due to be spoiled for choice excellent with non-​chain eateries. We did however partake of the continental buffet breakfast for £6.95 which included endless tea, coffee and juice. Highly recommended hotel!
Free wifi throughout hotel including bar and restaurant.

Premier Inn guarantees a good night’s sleep and that we got during our three night stay in this hotel. It was something that was sorely needed after staying at an AirBnB apartment in Paris for a week with no A/​C and a futon for a bed. The bed at Premier Inn was comfy, the room was big enough for the two of us, and the bathroom, though small, was very clean. The hotel must have good soundproofing too because we could not hear our neighbors and Euston Rd (a major road) traffic. If you are a light sleeper, you will not have any problems sleeping in this hotel.
The location of this hotel is fantastic. It’s about a 3 minute walk from King’s Cross/​St. Pancras, so it is very convenient for tourists. Many tube lines go through King’s Cross/​St. Pancras and you can also catch the Eurostar to Paris and other points in the continent from this station. You can also take Bus 10 a half block away from the hotel and that will take you to many popular London sights (Oxford Circus, Marble Arch, Hyde Park Corner, Knightsbridge, Royal Albert Hall and Kensington).
Note that breakfast may not be included in your rate. We paid extra for it. You can get the full English or you can have a continental breakfast. It’s a buffet breakfast, so the quality is not as good as made to order, but you can ask for poached eggs and such from the server if you’d prefer that. The line to get seated can get long at certain times, but it moves fast.
If you are in need of laundry service like we were, the hotel will give you a flyer for a wash and fold service near the hotel. We called the number on the flyer as soon as we settled in our room, and the gentleman who answered was very friendly and helpful. He came to the hotel, looked at my bag of laundry, gave me a price and told me that he will deliver our clean laundry by noon the next day. I thought that £15 for the pick-​up, cleaning, and drop off of our laundry was a bargain.
Every person who helped and served us in this hotel was friendly. Next time, we’re in London, we would definitely stay in this hotel again!

I called in this hotel, while in London, to have a look at this hotel ahead of my trip in August, where I plan to stay over.
This hotel is basically the Hilton hotel of the Premier Inn franchise, it is actually quite posh, the rooms look very spacious, with desks, wifi and the location is pretty good, it is opposite St Pancras station in a row of shops with Pizza Express, Starbucks and The Premier Inn Thyme restaurant, it is a 10 minute walk to Euston however this location isn’t so great as it still is quite a long bus journey to get into central London, if you are not using the Tube.
Nate, who shown me around was really nice,(please remove this name if it is against Unilocal rules and perhaps replace it with Premier Inn Staff member A), he told me that the price at the premier inn desk could end up being near double the price online, hence he used his mobile to get a quote for me, while sharing a conversation, taking me up in the lift and telling me about the New hotel!
I like that with reception not being on the first floor that they make you put a key in to use the lift, other than going to reception, as otherwise they can’t monitor who goes in and out, the entrance is lovely, new and modern with sofas and quite a few lifts and a wall telling you about the location, They was also a big TV in the room he shown me.
The room works out around £166 a night, I suppose this is acceptable considering it being very posh, nice and modern, and some aspects of the location, but still I feel £616 for 4 nights is still a little expensive considering that breakfast is not included, other parts of the location, with it having a more central London price and just simply being excluded from central London.
Overall, this is a really nice hotel, its’ factors being new, posh and luxury makes it one of the better Premier Inn locations, and the staff I spoke to (especially Nate) spoke great english (Unlike The Croydon Central branch) and seemed very nice, I feel 3 stars is a fair rating for this hotel, as I just can’t justify the price for it’s location being so far out from the city center

Premier Inn est une chaîné hôtelière que l’on m’avait vivement conseillée sur Londres et en effet, la qualité promise y est! Nous avons séjourné au Premier Inn London St Pancrass inauguré tout récemment et situé à 100m de la gare nationale et internationale de Kings Cross/​St Pancrass. Pratique lorsque l’on débarque en Eurostar; pas besoin de s’encombrer de valises dans le métro: on traverse la rue et on laisse nos bagages à la consigne… La journée peut alors commencer sereinement! Pareil le dernier jour: valises à la consigne = journée tranquille jusqu’au départ!
En ce qui concerne l’hôtel et les chambres, c’est de l’ULTRA fonctionnel. Une entrée sobre, une petite réception au premier avec un personnel sympa et souriant, des chambres modernes et parfaitement insonorisées avec un bon lit et une salle de bain (avec bain) impeccable, un buffet peti-​déjeuner très correct et des prix imbattables. Ce dernier détail, celui du prix a toute son importance à Londres! Combien de fois avez-​vous déjà payé un pont pour une chambre médiocre et un service en dessous de tout?! C’est malheureusement souvent le cas à Londres, et l’avantage de ce genre de chaîné, c’est la régularité et les critères de qualité qu’ils se doivent de maintenir. Du coup, en fonction du tarif, on sait toujours à quoi s’attendre!
Pas de vue «fancy fancy» sur Picadilly Circus donc mais rapport qualité/​prix et surtout au niveau de la situation géographique, c’est surement l’un des meilleurs hôtels que j’ai pu faire sur Londres (en voyage privé).
Touché d’humour mais détail gênant retrouvé sur plusieurs sites et constaté: il n’y pas de brosse dans le WC des chambres! A corriger! Easy game…
