Hotel in Detail:
The Premier Inn London Leicester Square is a modern contemporary hotel purpose built in 2012. The hotel has 24 hour automated check-in kiosks to speed you through check-in no matter what the time of day.Each bedroom is air-conditioned and features a flat screen television a good size working desk and its own private bathroom (hairdryer, toilet, shower). You also get facilities for making tea and coffee, a telephone and a carpeted floor.
The onsite restaurant is called 'The Kitchen' (well why not!) and serves both traditional and contemporary dishes from its menu. Breakfast is served onsite as well as main meals.
There is also a bar serving a range of drinks.
To minimise the noise guests might have experienced from the busy local area (this is the heart of the vibrant west end) the bedrooms float on top of thick engineered neoprene pads. These have been coined 'floating bedrooms'. Even more than this each bedroom is constructed within an independent box, so they do not direct connect with hallways or other bedrooms.
The hotel has a dedicated front desk which is staffed 24/7. Smoking is strictly prohibited throughout and luggage storage facilities are available. Wireless internet access can be picked up in all parts of the hotel (free).
Its worth noting that this hotel DOES have a lift, not something all central London hotels can claim.

The Premier Inn Leicester Square sits on Leicester Square itself surrounded by the vibrant and bustling square below and adjacent to the Empire cinema. This is the very centre of tourist London and places everything you could want within walking distance. Within Leicester Square are bars, clubs, cinemas (the Empire cinema is adjacent to the hotel) and restaurants and a small green area for visitors to sit and relax in is in the middle of the square. The Premier Inn Leicester Square hotel itself incorporates businesses such as a cafe, casino and a nightclub. This is also a pedestrianised zone so there's no traffic to worry about. Within 75 yards to the north you have the Chinese shops and restaurants of China Town (along Gerrard Street) and just 75 yards beyond that is Soho, known for its restaurants, theatres and adult clubs. Within 200 yards to the east is Covent Garden, know for its buskers, the Opera House and the central Covent Garden pizza. 200 yards south is Trafalgar Square best know for its pigeons and Nelsons Column.
