Disliked: Cleanliness
Pros: -Location is amazing. Within walking distance of a lot of great things. -Cheap Cons: -Floors are a bit dirty. No fan in bathroom means all smells linger. -Could not do early check in. When I went to my room there was the strong smell of poop, meaning it wasn't cleaned well or someone just pooped in the bathroom. -Staff varied. Some staff was helpful and friendly, other staff was weirdly rude. -Cheap feeling. Had the delux room and was near identical to my friends regular room save for the better wifi. Overall - a cheap option in a great location, but it does feel cheap and hospitality is hit or miss.

My flight was cancelled so I couldn't arrive at the hotel at the correct date. So I had to shorten my trip. But I was planning to use half of my prepaid (un-refundable) stay. I tried to contact the hotel through Hotels.com but didn't get any answer. I got in the information from Premier-Inn help-center that because it was booked through Hotels.com they couldn't help me. And if I didn't check in at the correct time/date my booking would be cancelled and my money lost. I had to stay at another hotel with extra cost.
