Premier Inn London Kensington Olympia

Standard rooms at the Premier Inn London Kensington Olympia hotel feature a king-size Hypnos bed and a comfortable chair, a writing desk, a flat-screen television, tea and coffee making facilities and an en suite bathroom. The bathroom has a bathtub with a showerhead above it rather than a proper walk-in shower. Some wheelchair-accessible rooms are also available.

This hotel also has Premier Plus rooms, which are a step above a standard room. These rooms feature faster Wi-Fi, a better workspace, a small fridge, a Nespresso coffee machine and in-room ironing facilities.

All rooms have free Wi-Fi wireless internet access (up to 1GB per day).

The hotel also features a Thyme Bar & Grill restaurant, which has a menu comprised of casual dining options such as burgers, curries, steaks and pub-style favourites such as pies and fish and chips. The hotel restaurant is open for breakfast and dinner.

The hotel is located on busy Cromwell Road, just a few minutes’ walk from a large Tesco supermarket within easy walking distance to the centres of both Earls Court and Kensington. From here is a six-minute walk to Earls Court tube station and an eight-minute walk to the shops of High Street Kensington and a 14-minute walk to the Olympia Exhibition Centre.

Several tourist attractions are also within easy walking distance and it is a 10-minute walk from the Design Museum and Kensington Palace, the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Royal Albert Hall are not much more than a 20-minute walk from the hotel.

The hotel’s proximity to Earls Court Tube station (on the District and Piccadilly lines) means that you can quickly get to other areas of London. From here you can get to South Kensington in four minutes, Kings Cross St Pancras in 20 minutes, Piccadilly Circus in 12 minutes and Westminster in 13 minutes. The Piccadilly line also serves as a direct link to Heathrow Airport with a journey time of around 35 minutes.

Premier Inn is the largest hotel chain in the United Kingdom and it usually scores very high on customer surveys when compared to other UK hotel chains. It operates at the budget end of the market and provides a reasonably high standard of accommodation for the price, and is comparable to ibis and Travelodge hotels.
