Premier Inn London Euston Hotel

The hotels dreary gray facade resembles a former office block, only broken up by the fire-engine red from the Costa Coffee cafe which is connected to the hotel. As guests enter the hotel the lobby is equally uninspired with faded purple carpets and chairs near the self service check-in kiosks and a small reception counter that's manned 24 hours a day. A rack of tourist brochures and vending machines are more suited for guests on the go, than an inspiration for lounging. Thyme bar and restaurant has a look and feel that's set apart from the rest of the dated hotel. A white brick wall is decorated with whimsically painted plates and one wall is painted Tiffany blue for a splash of color. Floor-to-ceiling windows make the space feel light and airy and lookout onto a busy main road. Guests include business travelers, couples, and families with children. 

A four-minute walk from the Euston underground station, the Premier Inn London Euston is a centrally located hotel for exploring the city via public transit. There isn't an abundance of restaurants and bars in the neighborhood, but Russell Square, a nine-minute walk from the hotel, in the Bloomsbury district is heaving with restaurants and bars for local nightlife. From Russell Square guests are within a 20-minute walk to Oxford street shopping, theaters in Leicester Square, and markets and restaurants in Covent Garden. From the hotel, guests are a four-minute walk to The British Library and a seven-minute taxi ride from bars, eateries, and shopping in Camden Markets which is built along the canal banks. 

The Premier Inn London Euston 265 guest rooms follow the standard formula of most Premier Inn chain hotels with wooden furniture, off-white walls, and splashes of purple in the bedding, headboards, and carpet. All rooms include coffee- and tea-making facilities, free Wi-Fi, desks, and 80 Freeview channels on flat-screen TVs. Each room is fitted with blackout curtains on the windows, and unlike most high-rise hotels the windows here can open to let fresh air in. Beds are made up of Hypnosis mattresses and there's a pillow menu for guests to select their preferred pillow firmness. The hotel promises a money back guarantee for guests that don't experience a good night's sleep. Simple white bathrooms generally consist of a shower/tub combo covered with a purple fabric curtain, single sink, and wall-mounted dispenser for shampoo and body gel. Each floor of the hotel has a Customer Service Room where guests can help themselves to fans, portable heaters, and ironing boards. 

The Premier Inn London Euston provides limited parking on-site for a daily fee. There's a convenient Costa Coffee cafe connected to the hotel. The hotel's Thyme bar and restaurant serves a mixture of traditional and modern cuisine for breakfast (kids under 16 eat for free) and dinner. The Thyme bar offers happy hour to guests in the early evening. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel and there are vending machines and pay-per-use computers in the lobby.
