A Premier Inn hotel in London was named one of the world’s best rated for families.
Premier Inn London Bank (Tower) Hotel topped the UK list and was named eighth best in Europe by TripAdvisor in 2016. It ranked 23rd in the world.
Reviewers praised the hotel’s value for money, children eating for free and location near major sights in the capital, including the Tower of London, St Paul’s Cathedral and Tower Bridge.
A two-night weekend stay at the hotel in a family room for two adults and two children will set you back £396, according to a search of Premier Inn’s website by Express.co.uk on Thursday (March 21).
The hotel scooped a Traveller’s Choice award from TripAdvisor last year. It has received more than 3,000 reviews, with a 4.5 rating of “excellent”.
A review posted on March 19 by TripAdvisor user writing under the name mmgdmg said: “We had a great stay. We booked ahead and got a good rate. Hotel is in an ideal location.
“Only thing that wasn’t as good was the breakfast. Quality and choice wasn’t as good as we had remembered in the past.”
Another user, under the name glacierliana, commented: “Hotel hidden off main streets – nice and quiet. Rooms a super size for a family with hot showers and quick to run baths.”
N_31644 wrote on March 18: “Fab location for weekend in London. Comfy beds. Clean hotel. Quiet. Would go back.”
But MrsBooty, writing a review posted on March 11, said: “The room was like a sauna. When I spoke to reception and asked for a fan, I was told one wasn’t available but they could turn the temperature down. This had no real affect.”
In the same year the hotel topped TripAdvisor’s UK ranking, Park Plaza County Hall London took second place.
Blackpool’s Big Blue Hotel and the Crieff Hydro Hotel and Resort in Scotland both earned places in 2016’s UK top 10.
Further afield, the Cavallino Bianco Family Spa Grand Hotel in Ortisei, Val Gardena, Italy, was crowned the world’s number one family hotel by TripAdvisor in 2016.
