Which Premier Inn in London - Victoria, County Hall or Waterloo?

We are leaning toward the Premier Inn, Victoria, right by Victoria station. I would consider any good reasons to instead book the County Hall or Waterloo location for Premier Inn. Anyone have a strong opinion of any, good or bad?

This trip involves all ages from elementary school to retired, some of us have spent time in London but most have not. We will be doing lots of walking, museums, shopping, shows, etc. and these are the only Premier Inn locations I'd consider based on the map and our plans. Thanks so much in advance!

I stayed at the Waterloo property last April and was quite pleased with the location, price, and convenience. It is a two block walk to Waterloo Station where you can board one of several underground lines and get virtually anywhere. It is also convenient for catching the train for some day trips out of London. I loved walking along the river and there were scores of great restaurants and two grocery stores right there. It is a short walk (5 minutes) to Westminster and it is also possible to get on a Thames river boat nearby.

I always felt very comfortable with the neighborhood and surroundings and there were people about early and late each day. I would gladly stay there again on my next trip to London.

We had a great stay at the Premier Inn County Hall last spring break. We stayed 8 nights with an age range of elementary, middle school, adults, and grandparents. Excellent breakfast. Great location. Easy walk to Waterloo for the tube. We also utilized several different bus routes that were within 1 or 2 blocks. Easy walk across the bridge to Westminster Abbey and Whitehall. I would definitely stay here again.

Anyone taking the Gatwick Express from LGW to Victoria Station might be inclined to stay at the Premier Travel Inn Victoria simply for the reason that it's just a few steps away from Victoria Station. Yes, I've stayed at the London County Hall PTI on several occasions, and enjoyed its location. But if Victoria Station was my destination I would most certainly choose the Victoria PTI.

We stayed at County Hall this summer and enjoyed the location as well as the hotel. The Waterloo is only a block or so away. The County Hall looked a little nicer but I only saw the lobby of Waterloo (we accidentally went there first). I liked being on the quieter side of the river and being able to walk around without crowds.

Of the three you mentioned, County Hall is my favorite.
