Good value for money
Helpful/friendly staff in many instances

Categories

Cleanliness
8.8
Multiple reviews explicitly praise cleanliness (including 'very clean', '清潔', 'big step up from average budget hotel'), so overall cleanliness is rated highly.
Service
7.6
Service is mixed: several mentions of helpful and friendly staff at check-in/out, but there are notable negatives (rude receptionist, night porter issue, unresolved double charging) that lower the score.
Location
9.2
Consistently praised as very central and convenient (next to Hauptbahnhof, close to the cathedral and old town); location is a strong positive across reviews.
Room Quality
8.6
Many reports of spacious rooms, comfortable beds and good showers; a minority mention small rooms or rooms in an annex via stairs, so quality is generally high with occasional variability.
Amenities
7.8
Amenities are somewhat inconsistent: several rooms have A/C, blackout curtains, luggage storage and fridges, but a few reviews note no A/C or lack of fridge and some awkward access, so amenities are good but not uniformly so.
Value for Money
8.4
Multiple reviewers call it excellent value ('best value for money', 'unbeatable for the price'), though isolated service/payment issues temper an otherwise strong value perception.
Food and Beverage
8.4
Breakfast is mentioned positively in several reviews (good breakfast, pleasant breakfast room), with no major negative food/beverage reports.
Overall Experience
8.4
Overall sentiment is positive with many recommendations (quiet, comfortable, great location), balanced by occasional service and payment problems noted by some guests.

Hotel good. Staff bad
Pros:

Hotel fairly good.. staff terrible. Zero customer service skills, nowhere to drop bags when arriving early. Staff quoted we would be lucky of the rooms would be ready for check in time.

Fantastic location and staff
Pros:

Had a lovely couple of nights at this premier inn. Clean, comfortable and great location. Parked at the convention centre for £10 for 24 hrs as premier inn car park full. But it’s just across the road.
The staff were fantastic. Drew was very friendly and helpful, nothing too much trouble. Katie was great too.
A lovely couple of days

Exceptional Customer Service
Pros:

I didn’t actually stay at Keswick due to a family emergency. However before the emergency I checked in, which was typically easy, and spent an hour in my room which was what I’d expect. I then had to leave to get to Barrow-In-Furness as my brother required an emergency operation. Upon explaining the situation to Drew, the Duty Manager, he couldn’t have done more for me. Offering support, assisting in booking me a room in the Premier Inn in Barrow and showing genuine empathy. Upon arriving at Barrow I was informed Drew had organised a complimentary breakfast.
Very rare to receive such personal, honest and caring service. Thank you Drew and thanks Premier Inn.

Not what I expected
Pros:

No chef on Sunday for cooked breakfast
Worst of all when it rains heavy the noise of the rain on the metal window cills is enough to wake you up
Stopped in better premier inns

Premier inn Keswick
Pros:

The bed was too hard not like the comfy beds Premier inns are renowned for and the ones we have stopped in before. Both me and my wife did not sleep well because the bed was too hard. The chef did not turn up for two of the 3 days we stayed even though we had Pre Paid for 3 morning breakfasts.

Keswick Premier Inn is fabulous.
Pros:

This was my first stay at a Premier Inn (PI) in 15 years, and their standards remain impressively high. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. Upon arriving at Keswick PI, the staff were friendly and went above and beyond to help whenever needed. My room met all my expectations—it was spotless, well-organized, and included all the extras of a "plus room." The hallways were incredibly quiet, and the meals were outstanding. The dishes I tried were delicious, the restaurant area was clean, tidy and offered fantastic views outside.

Highly Recommended, will definitely return
Pros:

A welcome return to the Keswick Premier Inn, a definite asset to the area. Often the rooms are too expensive but was able to book a room for one night with the bonus of a free breakfast. I couldn't fault the stay at this hotel, only a couple of minor issues, the shower gel was unusually completely empty and the check in machines were out-of-order, the face-to-face check in was efficient. The room we had was a great location on the top floor with views of the hills.

Thankfully Dog Free.
Pros:

Very comfortable and enjoyable stay. Friendly and help staff. The biggest plus was it didn’t stink of dogs unlike the rest of Keswick.

5 Star friendly & helpful staff & quality of Breakfast
Pros:

Great hotel, great location in the centre of the town. The staff were really friendly and helpful ensuring my staff was relaxing and stress free.
Limited parking but there's an area at the hotel so you can park to drop off your cases and they explain where additional parking is available just over the bridge less than 100 yards away.
I only had the full breakfast and can recommend it as a great way to start the day.

A warm welcome on arrival..
Pros:

After driving most of the day we arrived tired & weary we were met by Drew (Reception) who was bright welcoming & extremely helpful, he assisted with our parking issue & remained bright & chatty throughout. I don’t normally leave reviews, but l feel this type of welcome is becoming rare & praise where praise is due!!

Not going back
Pros:

The staff are pleasant enough, but they are inattentive and untrained. The hotel is modern and clean, but is situated in a poor location. Where is management?

Don’t have the breakfast
Pros:

The room and location are good.
We ordered breakfast at £21.98.
We waited for ten minutes for hot food to come out, all there was were hash browns and beans I asked weather any sausage, bacon, black pudding and eggs where coming. Chef replied another 6 minutes at this point we asked for a refund and was issued one although it will take 10 days so we live and hope. Don’t waste your money on breakfast there are plenty of cafes in the town

Great customer service
Pros:

I stayed here with a group of work colleagues last week. We were conducting field work in the area and got an absolute soaking (even wearing waterproofs etc). The two ladies running the hotel bar and restaurant area were very kind and allowed us to come in and use the facilities to dry off, and even make coffees to warm up even though the restaurant had closed and was being cleaned and we had officially checked out a few hours earlier. Fantastic customer service, we will be back.
