Some guests find the electronic check-in too impersonal
Premier Inn London Victoria Hotel is a lower-middle-range chain property, conveniently located near Victoria station. The 110 rooms are clean and include flat-screen TVs, electric kettles, and free Wi-Fi, but bathrooms are small and guests have complained about the air-conditioning. There's an on-site restaurant, and a breakfast buffet is included in some room rates, but there's no fitness center or computer for guests' use. Travelers could also consider the Best Western The Cromwell, another budget, chain property that sometimes has lower rates.

Scene
Centrally located chain hotel that attracts families and couples
Premier Inn London Victoria Hotel is a standard chain property in a red-brick building that's not terribly exciting, though it does deliver dependability. Guests are greeted by a purple electronic check-in system. Though it’s meant to improve efficiency and get guests to their rooms quickly, some complain that it's too impersonal. To the left of the check-in area is a small sitting room with gray armchairs, a flat-screen TV, and snack machines. The decor is standard for the Premier Inn chain -- contemporary style, a purple-and-gray color scheme, and abstract artwork on the walls. While the decor is pleasant and welcoming, it's not especially elegant. Thyme Restaurant is a mix of wood floors and patterned carpeting, plaid bar chairs, and stylish gray and purple chairs with wooden tables. The hotel attracts a range of guests, but mostly families and couples likely drawn to the hotel’s convenient location and dependable services.

Rooms
Modern rooms with flat-screen TVs, kettles, and small bathrooms
The Premier Inn London Victoria Hotel has 110 rooms, all of which are decorated in a minimal, contemporary style with modern light-wood furnishings, white linens, and purple accents in headboards, bed runners, curtains, and trash cans, and gray-and-purple carpeting. All rooms come with flat-screen TVs, tea- and coffee-making facilities, desks, hairdryers, and free low-speed Wi-Fi. Guests have complained about the in-room air-conditioning and the sealed windows that make fresh air inaccessible. The white bathrooms are small with not much counter space. They come with showers or shower/tub combos, and the toiletries are in wall dispensers. The hotel’s "Good Night Guarantee" policy allows guests to claim a refund if they fail to get a good night’s sleep.
