Clean and good location - jobsworth reception
Pros:

Clean and good location; not sure it was really necessary to keep us waiting when I tried to check in 7 minutes early and then ask for £15. It takes years to build a brand and apparently 7 minutes to ruin it!

A great space to work
Pros:

I have visited this hotel regularly throughout most of 2025 for work purposes. There is always a great atmosphere. I feel at home, welcomed, and valued as a customer. It is clear the whole team care about my experience of their hotel and hospitality. They work hard to to ensure my experience is positive and are never intrusive. I will continue to use this hotel and space for my work as it provides exactly what I need to be productive in a friendly, homely atmosphere. Well done Team.

If you are staying there, read this to know what to expect.
Pros:

Due to a student i have in Loughborough I stayed at this hotel. I plan to visit Loughborough quite often. Unfortunately this was my first Premier Inn stay and it came with many surprises. Some of them totally unexpected. First time ever it happened to me in a hotel to ask for a room clean service. When I asked they told me it was written in small print in the back of the key card. Like i ever read key cards!!!! The least he could ask was "is this your first time at premier inn?" here is how we work. Unfortunately he gave me the impression they avoid to say it so that they can save costs.

the second issue was the internet speed. It was horrible. Guys this is 2025. You cannot have dial speeds and expect guests to pay for internet. Why don't you do the same for electricity or water? No further comment - see pic.

the 3rd bad experience was that during the evening I wanted to watch a match, have a drink and a snack. I was told I cannot watch the match and have a snack unless i move 3 tables back due to "restaurant" rules. So we had to watch the match, plan dinner at half time and then go back to watch the match! Of course in the morning at the same table they served breakfast without any rules/issues!!!!

Last was the rudeness of the specific person that handled us. He was always unpolite, rude, and paternizing us. To state the obvious he was not busy and in fact watching the same match as me. Can't say the same for the 2 nice ladies that run breakfast. They were very polite and run like headless chickens to serve a huge number of people.

Unfortunately as the location is convenient i might choose to stay again at this place but i know now that i will ensure i have minimal interaction with the staff and facilities/

Great place to stay
Pros:

The staff here were both welcoming and friendly. I was especially impressed by their willingness to help and attentiveness to food allergies. I felt both comfortable and safe during my stay here. The room was clean and well maintained and the breakfast was great. I would highly recommend premier inn here in the future.

Another pleasant stay.
Pros:

Been using this Premier inn for several years, it is in a convenient location with close parking just over the road. The rooms are always as expected - typically clean, well presented and everything you need. I always book the meal deal as it presents such great value and the food is always to good standards (the restaurant area has a great vibe).
What really shines though and has prompted me to write this review are the staff - Tamara, Getys, Sophie, Sandra, Virginia and the rest of the team are a credit to this business. Keep doing what you do team, I look forward to my next visit.

Nice place and staff
Pros:

Good location for why we booked here, no car park but the multi storey is opposite and cost £7 for 24 hours.
Staff were really friendly, always greeted you and smiled. Breakfast was nice the next day.
The room could have been a little better prepared for our early check in, lots of long dark hairs throughout the room. The toilet seat was loose and I realised at 3.30am when I nearly went flying off it! I reported the next day.
Overall a good stay and I would stay again.
If you like a nice cocktail, just opposite down the road and left is the ‘Little Love Club’, they make amazing cocktails and staff were really nice.

Weekend Visit
Pros:

We revisited and spent two nights but this time our room was on the side of the road, which isn't as quiet as the other side of the accommodation. The rooms are a good size. We learnt from previous stay that you need to ask reception for clean towels. Since Housekeeper don't change them for a two night stay. We didn't sleep well due to heavy footed person walking around upstairs. We found out that we should have got up and gone down to reception to report at the time, but hayho. We will take note for any future stays. We enjoyed the breakfast and the evening meal deals. The staff are very polite and friendly.

Good experience.
Pros:

Usual Premier inn stuff for the hotel, clean and with a decent shower.

Really welcoming staff and excellent service from, Tamara, Sophie and Sayali- really makes a difference when staying away from home in hotels regularly to be met by friendly people.

Parking is a bit of a faff, but otherwise good.
