Very small rooms. Bulk body wash/hair wash combo, so being your own shampoo/conditioner if you need it. All you can eat breakfast is actually pretty good if you skip the eggs and coffee. Teas were tasty. Spare pillows in room but not extra towels. AC shuts off automatically after a short time. Television has volume locked at a fairly quiet level. Windows do not open and no vent fan in bathroom. Bed is very comfortable. As with all Premier Inns, you need to request a cleaning if desired. Great location, near several bus stops and tons of small local stores and eateries. Bed is super comfy. I'd probably stay further out at a more traditional hotel if I came back, however.

We've stayed in quite a few Premier Inns and this one lived up to the standard we expect from our go-to hotel chain. Check-in was quiet and easy (I got there at about 4.30-5pm on a Friday) and the reception staff were friendly. …

This branch of premier inn was delightful. Lovely staff. We had a nice spacious room. Air con worked. Staff were lovely to my little girl and hubby at breakfast while I enjoyed a lie in. Appreciated the colouring in sheets for kids, water in the jug, welcome sweets and book Library for guests to share books in. We were allowed to use the loo to change our little girl when we came to collect our luggage on our way home. Great service. Hope to come again!

The bathroom has very nice condition and fluent hot water was impressive. The breakfast was much better than other hotels which are 4 stars. They were especially kind to children, so my family felt warm enough to stay. The location was brilliant to take underground or EURO STAR.

Excellent clean rooms and friendly staff. We had a mobility scooter and every single member of staff was helpful with getting it around the hotel, keeping it safe and charged and making sure the lift was doing its job. Spacious restaurant and good menu. We don't usually eat in at the hotel but it is worth making an exception here.

On arrival all three check in screens were faulty and there was no one on reception. After 5 minutes and a member of staff walking past without saying anything, we were then checked in by another member of staff. …

A short but pleasant stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable with all the necessary amenities. The location is excellent. Good value for money. Completely let down by the very long queues/waiting times at reception and absent-minded staff who were unable to answer any of our questions and were unsure of their own booking system.
