  • Hub by Premier Inn Westminster Abbey is the BEST budget hotel I have ever stayed in. I booked it with low expectations knowing nothing about it. I needed a cheap bolt hole for my stay in London. I did not plan to make a video about it because I thought if you have seen one Premier Inn you have seen them all but this place is BRILLIANT. The location, the cleanliness, the service and most importantly as a solo traveller I felt really safe. I have stayed in some absolute dumps in London for more money, this will be my "go to" place from now on.
    Come on a short tour of the hotel with me - you will be shocked how much this cost!
    You will love this hotel if you like a clean, comfortable and quiet place to rest your head but aren't worried about huge rooms and room service.
    This video is not associated with Premier Inn - they had no idea I was there but I enjoy showing you lovely places you can utilise on your own travels to save you money and stress.
    My tips for getting the best prices with any premier inn rooms are :
    Always book as far in advance as you can
    Book the advanced rate for the best price - these are usually none refundable but can save you a lot of money.
    Book directly through the Premier Inn website ONLY.

    Price at time of publication for a 2 night stay on a Thursday and Friday night in January 2024. Prices will of course fluctuate throughout the year based on demand, with January always being a cheaper time to travel (hence the brilliant price) but regardless I think this is a lovely place to stay in London and is comparable to much more expensive offers in the city, particularly in such a good location for tourists who wish to visit London to be close to all the "sights". The Conrad by Hilton is the closest hotel to The Hub and is currently showing rates of £526 for a 2 night stay in April 25th/26th, compared to £161 for a 2 night stay in the Hub on the same dates in exactly the same location by minutes.

    I have stayed there and the ones at St James and Kings Cross, also the one in Edinburgh, totally agree with you they are fantastic and for the money brilliant, would always be my go to hotels. Room are small but perfect.

    Hi Lucy, love your video. May I ask, was the self check-in process complicated? I thought they just asked for your booking reference. Thanks.

    • @throughlucyslens
      @throughlucyslens  3 месяца назад

      Thanks Andie, that’s made my day. No, it was just the booking reference. I had to edit it strangely as my card details were showing on the screen so it probably looks more complicated than it was, the staff were really helpful too x

    Hold on! When I look at a rate to stay in this hotel in a couple of months time (April) I am being quoted 150 pounds a night for basic room - and it moves upward from there. How on earth do you get it for 62 pounds? A budget hotel for 62 pounds is one thing, 150 pounds is something quite different. You said that it is a good place and convenient, and that is fine, but if it costs more than twice as much as told on the video, all the assertions of good value etc are out of the window. It is no longer "brilliant" ... sadly you have not found "a little gem", but you may have been lucky on one Friday in January. Caveat emptor!

    • @isobelwilson5440
      @isobelwilson5440 5 месяцев назад +1

      going anywhere in January as opposed to April or any other months from spring to autumn is going to have different rates - try looking at other hotels in London in April and see the difference then decide if it is value for money.

    • @throughlucyslens
      @throughlucyslens  5 месяцев назад +1

      Buyer beware indeed but in this vlog I was just expressing my experience on a Thursday & Friday night in January 2024. On that day at that time it was indeed a bargain, if you check other places for that date in April you may see it is still good value when a comparable place in Westminster is £300 a night. I’m sorry I got over excited and thought I was helping people. If you search for “top secret hotels” on last minute you may find some good deals in April on a 3* or 4* properties in the capital. Bonne chance.
