Review: Hub by Premier Inn, London, UK
I’ve reviewed my fair share of five-star hotels and there’s nothing I love more than a bit of luxury. But, for a short stay in a hotel that you’re probably not going to spend a huge amount of time in, I’ve been a long-time fan of the Premier Inn and I’m not afraid to admit…
