I chose this hotel after booking a ticket to see Bjork at the O2 arena! :) This is a good hotel and I stayed in Room 102 (family room) for one night on the first floor. Lifts are available as well as stairs but you don't need the lifts unless you have tonnes of luggage. The room door is also right next to the stairwell.
In the room there are the usual facilities; a Smart TV, regular bath and shower, two bins, hair dryer and coffee/tea facilities. Shower mats are provided on request if you need one. Premier are to my knowledge the first chain I have stayed in where the rooms do not have plastic cups AND UHT milk cartons, which is a step in the right direction! You also need to place your key-card in the slot next to the door to activate the lighting and power.
The hotel itself is located a short walk from Lewisham Station; if heading to the O2 you can also take the 108 bus from Lockmead Road (about 5 mins away, if that). It's a direct route and takes roughly the same time as the DLR/tube. The only downside was that even for my room on the opposite side, the hotel is adjacent to a rail bridge and tracks and also a few mins walk from the local police station. That means you will occasionally hear the rumble of trains and the odd siren with blue lights.
The staff are friendly and helpful with a 24 hour reception in case of any queries. They are also supporting Great Ormond Street Hospital as their chosen charity.
Would certainly consider again for my next O2 gig! Total price: £66 including continental breakfast for one...
Read moreWe recently enjoyed a two-night stay here and really enjoyed it. The staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly and really made us feel at home. Our room was a good size and the facilities were all in perfect order. Although our room was close to the train tracks, the noise from passing trains was minimal. It's worth noting that the window didn't open (by design); during the winter months this isn't an issue as you want to keep the room nice and warm, but the lack of fresh air may be an issue during the summer months. Not sure if this is standard in every room or just the ones near the train tracks. Anyway, this didn't spoil our stay in the slightest. The breakfast area is on the smaller side, but we had no issue finding a table on both mornings we were there. The food was the usual high standard and everything we needed was available, including decaf hot drinks. There's a vending machine for snacks but it's very expensive (£1.80 for a can of Sprite) so you're better off going to the off-licence over the road. There's no on-site parking but you can park at the nearby shopping centre car park and some of the surrounding streets (usually residents only) have spaces for free after 6pm and on Sundays. If you're traveling by train, Lewisham station is a very short walk away. This is a very convenient location for Lewisham and Greenwich and we would be very happy to...
Read moreWe stayed here from 12 to 15 of september and the only thing we would like to complain about is for this women of the staff that has been actually very rude to the guests. Don't know his name but is a very brunnette women with very short black hair. When arriving (12 sept 13.45) in a very rude manner she said "your booking states there's no check in before 14.00" but she finally did checked us in so that awkard moment could be avoided (the same happened with the guests right after us) and also happened at the restaurant that the Costa Coffe machine broke down but there wasn't any warning on it so when i attempted to get some Coffe she practically shouting at me said "there says clearly "no Milk available" I Don't know why we have this here, this is luxury, everyone should just have instant Coffee and that's it"... This things should be considered very carefully The rest of the staff were very kind and friendly with us at every moment... But besides that, is an Excellent hotel with Great and confortable installations at a very reasonable price. Even though it isn't located at the very city center, it is right in front of the train Station that Will take you to the city center in 20 minutes. We also stayed with our 4 years old boy and everything...
