No, I have not ever been to Essex that much in the past. Therefore, I had been looking forward to…read moreplaying a gig in Brentwood, to see what it is all about. Upon arrival at this hotel, we nearly missed the entrance because we thought that it was a football ground. Well, we were half right. Brentwood football ground is completely adjacent to this hotel. When we checked in, the receptionist was friendly enough, but lacked in any professionalism when dealing with the three of us. When one of my bandmates enquired as to whether he could change his room, the answer was quote: "I got nothing." After a massively long walk to the room that I had been assigned, I found my room and entered. I was actually quite surprised at the quality of the room, as I was fearing the worst. Nice cream walls and bright white ceiling with a tasteful stone coloured carpet were my greeting. A 26 inch LG TV hung on the wall was my entertainment. Of course the obligatory coffee and tea making facilities. And a miniature ironing board and iron! Next on the "to check out" list was the bathroom. This room looked like it was freshly tiled, and a nice shower had been installed. Unfortunately, even with all of the freshly fixed appliances and tiling, the cleaner had negated the tidying and cleaning duties, with numerous moth carcasses lining the floor. My bed was comfortable enough but the springs made noise every time I moved in the bed. Most disappointing of all was the lack of Gideon Bible. Apparently, his place used to be a school. I kind of like the idea of looking around this place and seeing what it used to be. I think one of the things that is most lacking here is a sense of professionalism from the staff. The vending machines really do bring down the class a further notch. So then, it is far from the best hotel I've ever stayed in, but for the money, a reasonable effort. My bandmates had plenty more complaints than I did so I guess that I was the lucky one and got a decent room!

The…read morehotel is perfectly situated for travellers on long jouneys, and the price for a room is very competitive at £32 per night, and the price is for upto 3 people stay in one individual room. The hotel has its own parking, and as far as im aware its free as i did not use it when i used the hotel. The hotel offers great service, and if you have any problems reguarding your room, then they dont hesitate to make it better for you. Overall a very good value hotel, and great for long journeys. It is a little out of the way from central london by public transportation.

I stayed at this Premier Inn about 8 years ago and that visit was pretty pleasant, so I decided to…read morego back and book it again. For my first visit to London, it was great to be so close to Waterloo Station. I booked the Premier Inn again for a trip with a friend in my most recent visit to London. And nostalgia for my initial London visit could not save this experience we had at The Premier Inn Waterloo. Aside from the great transportation option of being so close to Waterloo Station, it's also right in eyesight and walking distance to the London eye (5 mins), Westminster Bridge/Big Ben (10 mins), and County Hall (right across the street). The Premier Inn hotel is built right into a historical landmark, The "General Lying In" (maternity) Hospital. First off, the lobby is not in the best shape, with many broken check-in machines and furniture that has seen much better days. As a plus, though, there is a Starbucks in the County Hall plaza right across the street, which we visited often, on our most recent visit. The room was ok, but it seems way more cramped than on my first stay all those years ago. Our room did have a nice view out to County Hall with a semi-view of the Eye behind it, so that was nice - and the large window did let a lot of natural light in. The bathroom was ok sized but right next to one of the beds (if you do the two bedroom configuration), so you better be very close friends or spouses to stay in that type of room, because you'll be going to the bathroom right next to them with a thin little door between you. We also saw a tiny bug in the bathroom too, so that was not the best. Another issue we had was that we stayed for an entire week and were told by the front desk that they do not change any sheets or clean your room if you weren't staying there 10 days or more. My friend even had a womanly spotting issue with her sheets and they still would not change or clean them! I've never heard of anything like that and it made the entire visit very uncomfortable. The old phrase "location, location, location" does not save this one, because the location IS great but I don't think that alone was worth all the issues we ran into here.

The scrambled eggs are soft and fluffy and the avocado with a poached egg on toast is delightful. This is our fourth visit for breakfast to this restaurant in the week. While previous visits the service was lovely and prompt, today's service was subpar. The seating was quick, but that's the only thing that was quick this morning. The waiter failed to bring out all items ordered and when the pastry baskets came out all of the pastries were cold and not warmed as before. The poached eggs were hard boiled and needed to be replaced and water was never brought to the table after three requests. I would give this restaurant a 2 overall rating if I had not previously rated it a 4 all along.

Anytime you head to the restraint the whole staff greets you as your walking in. The food was excellent! I highly recommend the pancakes and the fish & chips. Everything about our stay was amazing. The hotel location is fabulous as well. You are conveniently located at the edge of Hyde park. It was less than a mile to Oxford street. We thoroughly enjoyed this property and we are already planning when we can return!!

If you're use to the Ritz, then stay there. Otherwise, if you prefer character, charm and something with a home-style feel, then the Main House is for you. It's maybe 100 yards from Portobello market. On the corner near the market area is an ATM and bakery/cafe. In fact, there were cafes all over as you'd expect. Just a wonderful place and when we return to London, we will be booking a room there again.

I had a recent stay here and had a good experience overall. This is a typical Firmdale property -…read moretypical in the sense that although each property has its own character and design elements overall, the room interiors feel almost identical. To that note, the rooms felt smaller in this location with either no view or a terrible view. I'm sure there are a handful of rooms that overlook Charlotte Street which would provide the best views of all the sides. The windows are large but no sense if nothing to look at. My room this time was on the smaller side - again as compared to other Firmdale properties like Covent Garden, Haymarket or Soho. The rooms tend to be very quiet with terrific sound baffling and the bathrooms are typically very welcoming and clean. My bathroom was tiny where you could practically sit on the toilet and wash your hands. Staff seem happy and are mostly informed. There is a bar and restaurant that gets super busy at all hours and they also offer a hospitality room with an honor bar and a screening room for ~75 (must book ahead). Firmdale highlights include the complimentary pillow mist (a favorite of mine!), clean/welcoming bathrooms with Kit Kemp wonderfully smelling products, perhaps the most comfortable overstuffed beds out there and just so beautifully appointed overall.

The chocolate cake served last was probably the least impressive part of the afternoon tea. Our waiter seemed nervous. But he went out of his way to offer to pack our leftover food and jam at the end of our meal. Our surroundings were beautiful and the pianist played so many recognizable songs flawlessly.

And I LOVE how they would make the effort to remember our faces and names. The accommodations were pretty wonderful too! We ADORED the hotel's breakfast. Included with our stay for breakfast was access to the buffet along with an entree off the menu. It was SO much food! The buffet alone was enough for a meal and it had so many options including fresh fruit, pastries, juice, smoothies, meats and cheese, etc. BREAKFAST WAS HEAVEN. I also really enjoyed the gym! Plenty of equipment. Upon arrival, they brought up chocolates and fruits. The chocolates were AMAZING. They also refilled our fruits and water in the room when the room would get cleaned. It was all the little things that made this place very special. We even stopped by the hotel pub (The Wigmore) which was great too and spotted a celebrity (Gerard Butler!) We had afternoon tea here as well and it was such a memorable experience. Truly a wonderful hotel and I'd highly recommend to anyone! You will feel so fancy if you are lucky enough to book a stay here :)
