The Premier Inn Hub is a perfect choice for a short stay, with small but functional rooms that have everything you need. The service is top-notch, and the location is ideal for exploring London's Bankside. The dining options are good but slightly pricey. The hotel offers a variety of spaces for socializing or working, acting like your own living room away from home.

I stayed at this hotel for a solo trip combining work and leisure. The room, equipped with full automation through a tablet, was exactly as advertised, making it perfect for tech-savvy travelers. The service was friendly and helpful near interesting points of the city. The location felt safe at night and was relatively close to public transport links and popular attractions, especially Borough Market. However, the dining experience was a bit of a disappointment for the price, and the check-in process was complicated. Overall, it was a decent stay with a few drawbacks to consider.

The hotel has small but fun and funky rooms with great light controls and very good content, feeling more like a really good hostel than a typical hotel room. The rooms, although not huge, do not feel cramped, and the bed was very comfortable. The service is amazing, with very pleasant, professional, attentive, and extremely helpful staff. The location is fantastic, like a camper van, offering great facilities and being a short walk from Borough Market with plenty of bars and eateries around. The dining experience, although good with a decent selection and catering to allergies, is sometimes given in pieces and can be a bit pricy based on how it’s paid for. The facilities are modern and meet expectations.

The service was top-notch with friendly staff, even at early hours, guiding us through room selection. The location couldn't have been better, just minutes away from major attractions and transport links. The dining experience was pleasant, although missing some key items.

The hotel has RIDICULOUSLY SMALL rooms that reminded me of an episode of Black Mirror, but they do give a cozy, homely vibe. Great for a quick coffee or tea break. The service was amazing – very helpful and kind, even got a better view and higher floor without hassle. The location is good, not right into tourist attractions but close to central London with a cool hipster feel nearby. Dining had a mix of disappointments with poorly warmed food but a nice selection available. The price was reasonable considering the location.
