“Well worth considering as an alternative to hotels in London”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

You need to know train times and allow about an hour to get to Euston if you are using this Premier Inn for a London trip. However, the overall tone and manner of the staff behaviour was excellent. Much more open, friendly, positive and helpful than in many very much more expensive places we have stayed.
Rooms are warm (it was -5C outside), clean and comfortable. Sound levels were fine.
We have stayed here before and will undoubtedly do so again.
If booked on a discount offer this hotel can be exceptional value but it is also good value at full price. The breakfast value (£7.99 full English) and quality is good, my only criticism is that the breakfast coffee was too weak for my taste (but I do like very strong coffee!)
This hotel is about 5 minutes walk from the edge of the town centre and only about 7 minutes from Watford High Street Station (trains); Watford High Street station is on the slow line to London Euston and it takes nearly 3/4 hour. Depending on time it can be faster to go the wrong way to Watford Junction Station from where much faster trains go to Euston (it would take 20-25 minutes to walk to Watford Junction. If you are going to stay here a couple of days and go to London a number of times do think about an Oyster Card (www.tfl.gov.uk/oyster) for your fares.

“Good for what it is!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

We stayed here over new year and took the opportunity to get a cheap deal and travel into london. The hotel is what you would expect from premier inn, no frills, reasonably priced but clean and tidy. We travelled into london every day and it was a bit of a hassle, your about and hour from central london, door to door, and cost £13 for a train ticket and all day pass on the tube in london. If your not bothered about the distance id deffinately recommend it.
If you stay you should definately try the all you can eat breakfast for 8 pound a real bargain!!

“Creaky floor boards”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

Stayed on second floor for three nights in January 2012. Very good location for what I needed with comfortable room, but was woken up early by other guests moving about on extremely creaky floor boards in adjacent rooms (floor above I think). I was aware of same noise in the evening too. Not the staff's fault I know, but someone needs to fix those creaky floor boards!

“Perfect”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

This hotel is perfect, stayed for 1 night - £29.00, brillant room, large bed, clean family room. Breakfast, excellent great choice. Staff very professional. Would highly recommend this hotel, brillant location. The waitress in the breakfast room on Sunday 8th January (Polish, not sure?) gave excellent service and how nice to see our European neighbours working professionally in our hotel industry with excellent communication skills. Impressed!

Nothing bad to say and that is not like me as I can be very critical.

“Premier Inn, Watford Central”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

£67 for 3 nights in a clean, well equipped, roomy room with decent bathroom! An absolute bargain! Always look out for special offers/promotions. Even without these, hotel is good value. Ample free car parking. Well located for central Watford and also easy by car for NW London (particularly via M1 and A41) in 10-20 minutes (depending on exact destination) makes it sensible to stay here rather than further in (eg Holiday Inn at Brent Cross or Holiday Inn Express at Golders Green) at greater cost.
