Happy traveller. 5/5 star review
Pros:

Letchworth…….This is an excellent Premier inn, our room was exceptionally clean, fresh and welcoming. Although on the main road. Our room was very quiet couldn’t hear any passing traffic. We had a very good 3 night stay and if in Letchworth again will Definitely stay here again. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Thank You Letchworth. .

ok for a last minute stay but needs renovation
Pros:

Hotel is ok for a quick place to stay but the whole section of the hotel I was in smelt old and musty (room 131) . The pipe to the shower head was split so water sprayed straight at the ceiling and the actual shower head where the water came through was covered with black mould clogging the spray. The silicone round the bath behind the taps was also black & mouldy.
There was also a ladybird infestation by the curtains.

I recently had a great stay at this hotel. The staff especially Laurel went above and beyond for me making me feel so welcome after a long drive for work. The room was cosy, warm and a comfy bed.

Best Budget Hotel Chain!
Pros:

This was the best budget hotel experience ever! Yes, the mattresses are superb as are the linens and pillows and the showerhead with great water pressure. The staff is friendly, accomodating and great fun and certainly the location cannot be better.

Breakfast offered everthing one could want. Will be back!!!!

Avoid this one - it needs a complete revamp
Pros:

Scruffy, rundown hotel, attached to a very poor Green King pub serving poor breakfast. Restaurant is noisy and dirty. Room heating systenm is antiquated and very noisy and can't be turned off.

Amazing stay for business
Pros:

I stay at many premier inn hotels for business and by far this hotel is one of the best I’ve stayed at.
Abby on reception went above and beyond what was needed during my stay a true asset to your hotel and team.
I will definitely be staying here again.

Emergency stay
Pros:

Honestly the most wonderful group of staff and cleaners,Service at the front desk has been absolutely amazing and beyond helpful couldn’t thank them all enough for catering to me as I am a dialysis patient at end stage renal failure waiting for a kidney and I’m only 23. The rooms were in immaculate condition everyday and done to a professional standard the lady’s were very kind and also put my room off limits. Great atmosphere didn’t feel like everyone was looking at me or staring so I felt at ease. Great value for money food at the pub was amazing as were all the pub staff couldn’t have asked for a more nicer bunch of people. No noise at any times apart from bonfire night but nobody can help that was actually nice display very calming. Would 1000% recommend this premium inn to anyone that needs a stop away. Ali g x

Great hotel for Leicester stay
Pros:

Handily located for Leicester city. Easily accessible from the motorway. Very quiet, tucked away behind a pub. Plenty of parking.
I love a Premier Inn because you know what you are getting. A comfy bed, a good shower and everything as it should be.

Awful. I pray never again!
Pros:

Checked in after a long day at work.
I was given a disabled access room. I then asked reception if it would be possible to change (thinking ahead, incase a wheelchair user/limited mobility person needed the room) told by receptionist, Laura; "Nah we're fully booked" despite looking online and seeing availability... (having come from a hospitality background, I know this room type is usually allocated due to being a last minute booking.

Commenting on the room - at first all looks okay with the bed until you sit on it, and realise it's a zip and link bed i.e. two singles pushed together and zipped up the middle.

I went next door for dinner, stood waiting for at least 5 minutes despite there being 3 members of staff bisible. Two of whom were stood near the kitchen doors talking. I asked if I could get a table, but was told by the bar staff/waiter "Just wait!" while he poured another guests drink. Absolutely no problem with what was said, just how it was said. Very blunt!
Then when asked if I could get a drink and a table, I was told "take your pick!". Again, fine. Found a table, sat down then waited a further 20 mins, no one has turned up to take an order, so I've asked a team member if I could order anything... Response, "Yeah?!"

As of now, I'm highly unimpressed - I'll update as and when it is deemed sensible to do so. However given the poor service received so far, I don't think any positive updates will follow. From my own personal experience in 15 years working in hospitality, training is needed for all staff members.

Disappointed
Pros:

Location and price perfect for my needs.
Sadly room had overpowering smell of body odour. Like a rugby changing room. Windows were secured and did not open to ventilate room.

Worst experience at a Premier Inn
Pros:

This was the worse stay that we have ever had at a Premier Inn.
The toilet didn't flush - we had to manually fill up the cistern each time to flush it.
The bath tap wouldn't turn off.
There was only one set of towels for 2 people.
The TV remote control was missing.
The only positives were that the room was clean and the bed was comfortable.

The adjoining restaurant was also poor, evening meal was mediocre and breakfast was inedible, dried out and lukewarm. even the cup of tea was cold!

Good hotel, but no breakfast!
Pros:

The hotel was the good standard that i expect from Premier Inn, but BE WARNED there is no where to get breakfast. The nearest place was a 53 minute walk away, along busy roads (i didn't have a car and the buses were once an hour at best, less at weekends). As Premier Inn make a selling point of breakfasts, i think they should warn people of this on their website. Or sell the sort of 'packed breakfasts' that you can get at Travelodge.
