London Brixton arvostelua

Very very comfy beds and clean modern bathroom. Love Premier inn beds and duvets! Heating in our room didn’t work, only blew cold air in our room no matter how high I put the fan/temp. Not great for December! Didn’t complain as we were only there one night, so only used the room to sleep. We were in room 203 right near the entrance to reception. You could hear the key card activated corridor door slam EVERY time someone came and went down the corridor which was really aggravating all night. Otherwise the hotel would’ve been so nice and quiet. As we arrived, a homeless person was lounging in the stairwell, having followed a hotel resident in though the front key swipe door entry system. He didn’t bother us but it did worry me about the security of the hotel for myself and my daughter returning late at night. I mentioned it at check-in to the receptionist who didn’t seem surprised but was apologetic. All this being said, this hotel is great for gigs at the O2 academy as it’s only 5 mins walk away. And there are loads of bars and restaurants right outside.

Pro’s - Extremely comfortable and spacious rooms - Bathroom well equipped with nice toiletries - Incredible sound insulation. Despite being in the centre of Brixton, I couldn’t hear any residual noise. - Friendly staff - Reception with luggage storage was very handy for the next day. - Great location. 8 mins walk from Brixton Academy, right next to the tube and close to lots of shops, clubs and other restaurants so it’s ideal for gigs in Brixton. Cons - None. Not a single thing Things to consider - There wasn’t much of a view. As the hotel is quite small and many of the windows face a very small internal courtyard, do not expect a great view of anything. This didn’t bother me as I wasn’t in the room much apart from to sleep, but it’s just to bear in mind. Overall the hotel was great and certainly one of Premier Inn’s best. I also upgraded to a super room which I would highly recommend, as the extras are well worth it and the lighting is superb. If you’re visiting Brixton for a gig at the academy or for any other reason, I could not rate this place highly enough.

Mattress lived up to what I’ve come to expect from Premier, ie excellent. We stayed a week and slept well every night. The room was clean and a bit bigger than other Premier rooms I’ve stayed in, which was nice, not spending all week climbing over suitcases. The staff were more pleasant than some Premiers I’ve stayed in; the room was cleaned promptly on request without any grumbling. There was always hot water and everlasting liquid soap, which I have known to run out in some Premiers but in Brixton they kept it topped up. I would stay there again without hesitation. In fact, I wanted to book over new year but sadly there is no availability as I was too late. My only gripe is the rationing of milk for in-room tea. There were endless tea bags but the only way to get milk was to ask - none on display - and each time we only got two, which is only enough for my wife’s tea, leaving me with none.

First of, they did our room wrong (as in an incorrect amount of beds) which meant we had to sit in the waiting area for around 30 minutes when all we wanted to do was relax in the room before heading out, as we had had a long train journey to get there. Another thing to note is that the one specific receptionist we had was really slow for some reason? He seemed to be taking ages just to find our booking which is unusual for a premmier inn. Anyways, moving on: once we got into our room, which was a difficulty alone as the lifts were broken so we had to haul our outage up the stairs as we were in the top floor, we noticed that: -the beds looked a bit scruffy -the curtains were worse for wear -when using the shower, it became clear the pipes were broken as water wash gushing out of the pipes, going on over the floor so we had to kind of wrap it up with the curtain. -The shower head was also really grimly and loose so the water was sort of dripping everywhere. Some positives are: - the aircon was good and effective -we had a view out onto the town centre -the rooms are soundproofed so it is quiet -the tv volume is not limited like other premier inns, so you can actually hear it properly. Overall, considering the amount of premmier inns there are in London, I would rather pay a bit more money and go to a nicer one. I would only go again if I had no other options.
