Back in the dark ages.
Pros:

One of the worst hotel ever stayed in . Room showing signs of decay. None of the usb points work. Complained at desk only to be told there was a Tesco over the road you could buy an adapter . The customer service button was hidden under a sign at reception. In a world that charging a phone is essentially you think it would be impossible not have working USB points.

Very Comfortable Stay
Pros:

Located right on the front to close to the RSS Discovery and the V&A. If travelling by train the station is a short walk. There is a good sized car park - cost is £8 per 24 hours. But get a voucher from reception prior to paying in order to get this discounted price.
We paid extra for a room with a waterfront and bridges view . Worth it for the small extra cost plus it faces away from the road.
Room - of a good size with good sound insulation. Bed as always was very comfortable. Shower was also good with lots of hot water and good pressure.
Wi-Fi - disappointing as could not get it to connect. Forgot to advise reception but was only there for 1 night.
Breakfast - served in the Beefeater restaurant which is part of the hotel complex. No problem being seated. Staff were very good and importantly the food at the buffet was regularly replenished and was always fresh and hot. A really good breakfast for the price and would recommend.
Dinner - we ate at a Turkish restaurant called Milas which was excellent.

Lovely stay
Pros:

This is a very good hotel. Infact the bed is so comfortable and soft to the extend that I over slept and missed breakfast which they promised to refund me back. The customer service is top notch. I had an emergency issue and Sean the Hotel Manager and Blair the receptionist came so fast and quick to my rescue, the fastest help have even see in my life. This people are the best, Also Yolanda is very polite good listener and help with my enquiry very helpful with a big smile that will melt your heart. Above all this is a good place to stay. Surely will be back. The beefeater is just another addition to the hotel and the sea view is amazing. Thank you all for having me. My first time in Dundee and you made it remarkable. Big car park, quiet hotel, clean, the accessible room is huge.

An ideal location for travelling by train and central for the centre of the city and museums.
Pros:

We travelled to Dundee by train so the location of the hotel, a couple of minutes walk away, was ideal. It was also an ideal location for all of the museums, all in walking distance, that we visited during our week long stay. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Our sleep during our stay was excellent.

Love the hotel but need better housekeeping.
Pros:

The duvet cover was ripped badly and didn’t notice until bedtime. I was catching my foot all night in it. Not happy about this.

This is a decent hotel in an ideal location.
Pros:

The Premier Inn in Dundee is ideally situated on the waterfront next to Discovery Point and the V&A. It is a short stroll from the railway station and, if you come by car, there is plenty of parking. It is also convenient for the city centre.

Check in was very friendly and our sea view room on the second floor was as smart and comfortable as one would expect of this chain. As for the views - as you are literally only a few yards from the water’s edge, you get a panoramic view of the Tay with the low hills of Fife on the other side, and the road bridge to the left.

Over the years I’ve almost given up on the Premier Inn buffet breakfasts, but the ones we had here were pretty good as they were regularly replenished and decently warm. Also, as the hotel didn’t seem overly busy during our visit, there was plenty of room and a nice relaxed atmosphere in the restaurant.

Service throughout was friendly and efficient and this will certainly be our hotel of choice when visiting Dundee.

Great experience at Premier Inn Dundee Centre
Pros:

We got a great deal from Premier inn and chose to stay at Dundee centre. Location couldn't be better. Just a 2 min walk to V&A and Discovery and a 10 min walk to city centre. The hotel is exactly what we expect from Premier Inn ie comfy bed, clean bathroom etc. Our room wasn't facing river Tay but the road and rail noise was non existent. The black out curtains were fab. Our bathroom was fresh and clean. Parking was fine at £8 for 24 hours which is great for city center parking. We ate in the local Beefeater restaurant-wasn't expecting much but our burgers were tasty. Breakfast was delicious! Everything fresh and tasty. Good value- highly recommended. A great stay and will definitely be back as good quality and good price

Poor Service
Pros:

Whilst the bed was the usual comfort of a Premier Inn bed we were pretty let down by the cleanliness and service.

Our room hadn’t been fully cleaned - whilst the bed was made the bins were overflowing, there were dirty coffee mugs, tea/coffee wasn't restocked and there were no towels.
Reception did provide towels when asked and said someone would be up to empty the bins etc. but this didn’t happen

Not what premier inn used to be
Pros:

Hotel feels run down! Have started noticing this over past few stays with premier inn, just not what they used to be. Very little time feels put into cleaning very sub standard, carpets dirty, finger prints on mirror, black mould around baths and crumbs/hair still on carpet not what you expect for over £100 a night.

A place to stay for a night
Pros:

This priemer inn is located beautifully, car park on site.. that you get a discounted rate g staying at the hotel but I have been at other hotels in city centres and you get the car park for free or cheaper than here! Check in wasn’t the best, the lady came out at 2.57 and said I can’t check you in yet, 3mins to go before check in time and once 3pm said the rooms still weren’t ready but just moved us to other rooms that were ready. The floor of the twin bedroom could have done with an extra hoover and the bathroom had black mould round the bath rim, other than that clean. The single beds are not comfortable, one of the worst sleeps I’ve had. The breakfast was really good, good value for money and good continental selection, all of the juice was getting topped up fast. The dinner was nice but the service was slow, they were busy though.

Great hotel but experience spoiled by bad sleep.
Pros:

Great location, pleasant hotel. The Receptionist was very helpful, changing our room to one with a walk-in shower, but it would be better if you could choose this option on booking. Room was clean, excellent shower, comfortable bed. Unfortunately we didn't have a good sleep because the air conditioning didn't work properly. The lowest temp we could set it to was 19c, but it went up to 21c on its own overnight. We didn't sleep well at all, and we had headaches in the morning. Such a shame, because otherwise we would have given it 10/10. We much prefer to have a window which opens. Breakfast was chaotic, simply because the layout is very badly designed - people using the tea/coffee station get in the way of people queuing for hot food, and it is a potentially dangerous situation with risk of scalding.

Best location to stay as a tourist
Pros:

Welcoming staff at front desk, easy check-in. Great location for museums and sightseeing. Waterside with bridge/ bridges views.Clean rooms and bathrooms. Shout out to Amy at the beefeater. She works her socks off and is cheery and helpful. Overall the staff at the hotel and the beefeater are fantastic and a credit to their employers.

Great location, great service, great views
Pros:

Great Premier Inn location. I’ve stayed here several times now, most recently for work. Check in was straightforward, with friendly staff.

Bright, spacious room and although I hadn’t paid the additional fee, I also had a room with view over the River Tay.

Dinner and breakfast were of good quality and service was very good.

Will definitely be staying at this one again.
