About the Castle Hotel
Premier Inn London City - Tower Hill
For the traveller seeking a reliably comfortable base in the heart of London's historic East End, the Premier Inn London City offers a no-nonsense approach to hospitality. It's a property that understands the practicalities of urban exploration, providing a clean and efficient sanctuary after a day navigating the city's storied streets. While it may not possess the grandiosity of its five-star neighbours, it makes up for it with a strategic location and a straightforward commitment to guest comfort.
Location
Positioned with remarkable proximity to Tower Hill station, just 350 meters away, this Premier Inn places you at a distinct advantage for exploring the capital. The Tower of London, home to the Crown Jewels, is a mere 1.5 kilometers on foot, a short stroll across the Thames to reach its ancient ramparts. For those keen on traversing the river, St Paul's Cathedral and the Tate Modern are accessible across the Thames, with the latter also situated 2.5 kilometers from the hotel. The immediate vicinity offers a gateway to London's most colourful markets, with Spitalfields, Brick Lane, and Petticoat Lane within easy reach, promising an authentic London experience. While 9 kilometers from Marylebone, the ease of access to the DLR and Tube lines from Tower Gateway station ensures that the rest of the city is readily conquered.
Style and Character
The Premier Inn London City adheres to the brand's established ethos: functional, clean, and modern. Expect a contemporary design language, free from ostentation but executed with a pleasing sense of order. The atmosphere is one of quiet efficiency, designed to facilitate rest and recharge. While the hotel doesn't claim a storied heritage or avant-garde design, it offers a dependable, reassuring environment that allows the city outside to provide the character and colour.
Service and Facilities
At the core of the Premier Inn experience is a consistent level of service, delivered with professionalism and a focus on guest needs. The 24-hour reception ensures that assistance is always at hand, regardless of your arrival or departure time. While the hotel's footprint is compact, it provides the essential amenities for a comfortable stay. On-site restaurants offer convenient dining options. For those arriving by car, chargeable off-site parking is available at Tower Gateway Station NPC, a practical consideration for travellers venturing further afield.

The rooms at Premier Inn London City are designed for comfort and practicality. While specific categories can vary based on the hotel's layout and booking demand, you can anticipate clean, well-maintained spaces equipped with air conditioning for year-round comfort. Standard features include comfortable beds, en-suite bathrooms, and the expected amenities for a modern hotel stay. Though not expansive, the rooms are efficiently arranged, offering a serene retreat after a day of London adventures.

Value for Money
Premier Inn has built its reputation on delivering dependable quality at a competitive price point, and this London City location is no exception. The cost-effectiveness is undeniable, particularly when factoring in the prime location and the consistent standard of accommodation. While additional charges may apply for parking, the room rates generally reflect excellent value, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious travellers who prioritize location and comfort over elaborate amenities.
Accessibility
While specific details on adapted room availability can vary and are best confirmed directly, Premier Inn generally aims to accommodate guests with varying needs. The ground-floor accessibility of common areas and the straightforward layout of the hotel are designed for ease of movement. It is recommended to contact the hotel directly to discuss specific accessibility requirements and to ensure the most suitable room can be allocated.
Family-Friendly
Premier Inn is known for its family-friendly approach, and this property is no different. The rooms, while not palatial, are generally spacious enough to accommodate families. Children under 16 typically stay free when sharing with adults, and the availability of 'family rooms' makes it a practical choice for those travelling with younger guests. The convenient location near historical sites also appeals to families looking for accessible attractions.
