Premier Inn Angel Islington

If you are going to O2 Islington for a gig, this is the perfect hotel for an overnight stay, it’s right next to the venue.

My husband, Sean, and I stayed there when we went to see Phil Campbell And The Bastard Sons for Sean’s 40th birthday. We wanted to make sure that we both had a wicked time and was able to have a drink so I was really surprised that I found a Premier Inn that was really close and just under £100 for the night.

We parked in the underground car park for the shopping centre that the venue is in, it was £30 for 24 hours, considering that’s in London, it’s not bad lol.

When I booked, I saw the option to have a Plus room which had a few little extra perks and seeing as it was a special occasion, I went for it. We got a bigger room, a proper coffee machine, a nice comfy chair, a walk-in shower and a city view. Well, I say a city view, most of our window was frosted so I couldn’t actually see out the window. I had to hold my phone above the frosted line to see our view.

The bed was super comfy and I loved that the bedside tables were tables that were as high as the mattress and were on wheels so we could move them if we needed to.

The shower was amazing, I sometimes find hotel showers can be a bit hit and miss but I didn’t want to get out of this shower. The water pressure was perfect, I had plenty of room to move around and I got the water temperature right straight away.

I didn’t pay for breakfast when I booked but the lovely man on reception let us book a table for breakfast and then we paid in the morning when we turned up to eat. It was a buffet breakfast, we had the cooked breakfast which was mushrooms, sausages, bacon, friend and scrambled eggs, tomatoes, baked beans, black pudding and hash browns. We loved the sausages as they tasted like proper sausage from a butchers, which makes all the difference to us.

There was plenty of cereals, fruit, breads, etc if you didn’t want cooked food.
