Premier Travel Inn Docklands Hotel

I stayed here for 2 nights while working at the London Excel in early June. The hotel was very nice and I had a 1st floor room overlooking the local pub car park. The room was everything I needed for my stay. From Prince Regent DLR Station the 5 minute walking route is well signposted but in Winter in the dark it does not look appetising. I did not book a restaurant table at check in when asked. I turned up on spec for a table and after waiting for over an hour went to the local Chinese Restaurant. For my second night I did... more

I had the misfortune of staying in this hotel for one night in March. I often stay in Premier Travel Inns and find them very good value for money. However, this was the worst I've stayed. If you arrive by DLR it is a 10 minute walk across a huge car park although there is parking on site. My room was on the fourth floor at the end of the corridor. From my room I had a fantastic view of the DLR with trains passing no more than 20 feet from my window. . Anyway I could cope with that, it was the catering arrangements that really annoyed... more

On the plus side - it's only 3mins walk from the Prince Regent stop on the DLR and there's a lovely bar/restaurant behind the hotel. On the negative side - Check in was a nightmare as they had no record of my reservation, and the reference number was apparently invalid. I was made to search through a pile of faxes left on the front desk displaying credit card and security numbers for guests until I found mine - this lack of regard for my (and other guests) financial security was outrageous. The room was cold & the noise from the... more

I stayed here for the London Triathlon 2006. It's in a good location, about 5 minutes walk to the Excel center and the DLR, and is generally a clean and modern hotel. I had booked a twin room - on arrival we discovered a double and couch bed, which wasn't exactly ideal for a good nights rest before the race. When I complained I overheard the receptionist say I was "moaning about the room" as she transferred me to the duty manager, who was equally unhelpful and quite confrontational when I asked her for a proper twin. As it turned... more

Stayed at this travel inn on the 20th July as visiting the motor show at excel. First comment would be that it was practically impossible to find. There is a lot of building work going on on the Docklands so it was difficult to find anywhere but as the Travel Inn couldnt be seen from the road, it was twice as difficult. However the location was ideal as it was literally a two minute walk to excel. Hotel itself is a standard travel inn, good value for money, clean basic rooms, no complaints at all. We had breakfast and dinner there and... more

Stayed here for the 2nd time for the London marathon. Rooms are standard Travel Inn fare, ie comfortable and clean. Bathrooom spotless with high pressure shower and bath. Now a charge for parking £12 per day. Machine was faulty when I was there causing much hassle. Long waits to be seated in the restuarant in the evening and morning. I seated myself both morning after getting bored waiting. Buffet dinner and breakfast food is sometimes slow to appear. Overall though worth £60 per night.

Most comfortable bed almost ever (equals Hotel Zubialde in Bilbao!), service with smile and spotless room and bath, nice train and bus connections. Little bit cold in the room at first, got warmer after two days.. Quiet and quite peaceful location by the City Airport. Excellent value for money. Should have four stars!

I have stayed in several hotels in the Docklands area and without a doubt I can say I had a wonderful stay. The staff is friendly and professional. The hotel offers excellent quality for money and the rooms are cleaned to a excellent standard.

We stayed in this hotel at the end of June 2005. I am reviewing the hotel according to its type, obviously you won't expect chandeliers in a budget hotel for example. I'll try to be as balanced as I can. Bad points Location. This hotel is quite a way out of town, which means approx 25 min journey to travel in, on the Docklands Light Railway and so of course there's the cost of fares. We bought all-zones travel cards anyway so it didn't matter to us and we used them all week. We actually liked the journey at the beginning and end of... more

Stayed at the Premier Travel Inn Docklands whilst on business at ExCel (about 5 mins walk away) for a few days. The hotel has friendly and courteous staff, the rooms are quite spacious and include a large sofa, the showers are good, and the breakfast is nice. It's a bit out of the way from central London (2 changes on the train), but if your business is at ExCel or Docklands in general, this hotel is a good choice. It's also very near City Airport.
