2. Premier Inn London Waterloo (from USD 169)

Located in the heart of London, the Premier Inn London Waterloo offers you a comfortable and affordable stay at a prime spot.

You’re only a stone’s throw away from the Eye, the River Thames and Waterloo Station. For such a central location, this Premier Inn is really a steal.

A little further upstream than the other hotels, the Park Plaza London Waterloo still offers great views of the London Eye against the city skyline. To get a good view of the Eye, it’s best to let the staff know while you’re booking – you’ll need to be on one of the higher floors. Modern and sleek, this hotel is particularly good for couples. Be sure to try out the buffet breakfast!

4. Premier Inn London County Hall (from USD 168)

Situated right next to the London Eye, this Premier Inn is located in the historic County Hall building. The exterior of the building is old and historic, but the inside of it is tidy and modern. Expect clean, basic rooms that are more than enough to keep you comfortable throughout your stay.

Eye Spy...

For many of these hotels, rooms that offer a view of the Eye are in short supply. You have to be high enough, first of all, and you have to be facing the right direction. It’s important to book early, and to specify that you would like a room with a view of the Eye!
