Best hotel I’ve ever stayed at
Pros:

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Premier Inn thanks to Lina. Her customer service is beyond exceptional – she is warm, friendly, and truly goes above and beyond to make guests feel welcome.

This Premier Inn is honestly above any I’ve ever stayed at. The whole team is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the facilities are amazing. From the moment I arrived to the moment I left, I felt genuinely looked after.

I would come back to this hotel just for the amazing staff and the outstanding way they treat their guests. Highly recommended!

The room was just what we would expect from Prem Inn's, functional and very clean.
Pros:

My partner and I arrived late on Friday evening and finding our reservation was initially a problem but Lina was able to locate the appropriate documentation; she as brilliant and so helpful, and helped us with the parking situation. It was very full and she kindly gave up her space to assist us, two rather tired and older people. Five start Lina and a big thank you from us.

Top Tier Customer Service
Pros:

Absolutely superb, Lina on reception was simply outstanding,

I was staying on business but also combining with midweek football and she ensured I had a pizza and some refreshments waiting for me on my return at 10pm as she knew the kitchen would be closed.

A lovely pizza, a beer, warm comfy room on a bitterly cold night, excellent wifi and top-tier customer service

Would highly recommend 💜🌟

Overnight First Time Stay.
Pros:

This hotel was central to our family get-together venue, and in that, it was ideal.
However, being charged £15 every time we leave the hotel is extremely excessive.
The full english breakfast was too bad for words, but I will give it a go.
Undercooked bacon, no fried eggs, we had to set our own table, no Danish pastries every time I went to look for them. Deffo not woth the money, you would be better off going elsewhere.
The room bathroom fan is extremely noisy and wakes everybody during the night.
Only one hand towel is available for 2 people. What's that all about?
Not up to premier inn standards, but the staff made up for it a bit.

OK hotel, really slow restaurant
Pros:

It's a premier inn, u get what's expected but the restaurant takes far to long. Took over an hour to get main meal then had to wait another 30 minutes waiting for deserts. Come on guys,

WEEKEND OVERNIGHT STAYAWAY FOR RAILTOUR
Pros:

My first visit of a Premier Inn overnight stayaway Bed and Breakfast and very impressed with overall experience.

Used this visit as a perfect relaxing end to a busy Railtour day experience.
Despite a late 9pm arrival and check in I was not kept waiting too long for my allocated room.
The room key activation of lift was a good security feature of the hotel.
Noticed a tidy, clean and modern layout in all the public areas and within my modern deluxe bedroom.
My chosen allocated deluxe bedroom was spacious, clean, tidy, well lit and very modern.
The small chiller contained complementary chilled still and sparkling water with chocolate complementary bars together with ready supply of tea flavour choices and a unique top of the range coffee maker.
The bed was very soft and relaxing in a very quiet atmosphere to complement a lovely revitalising sleep.
The bathroom contained a choice of bath, shower or monsoon style shower that was very invigorating with ready supply of hotel dispenser soap and bodywash.
Complementary use of WiFi was also readily available.
Breakfast time was very enjoyable- a smart and clean layout of a wide range of cereals, fruit and juices, toast, spreads and a wide variety of hot food regularly replenished.
The hotel staff overall were polite, professional, efficient, courteous and business-like.

Just a couple of observations were the milk cartons in the bedroom were totally inadequate and barely sufficient to make one cup of hot drink- a better idea would to have a ready supply of self service chilled milk and fresh water dispenser machines located on every floor level to hotel guests.
I would have preferred the option of windows that open complementing the in-bedroom air conditioning units.
The limited car park was a lottery- better to park at nearby railway station car park only ten minutes walk away particularly at very reasonable weekend multi day overstay rates.

I would certainly recommend this hotel chain as a perfect home from home for a weary traveller. It certainly rivals and in some cases exceeds the level of service normally expected of high end rival hotel chains

Best Premier Inn!
Pros:

We have stayed in a couple of premier inns in Peterborough previously but this one is outstanding, the staff member “Lina” is awesome and really made our stay perfect. Nothing was too much trouble - she deserves a pay rise!

Good sleeps and a great breakie
Pros:

Peterborough Premier is like a family run BnB. In a good way, really friendly breakfast team : Lorraine and Kate. The chefs kept the breakfast coming : John, Charliegh and Warren. Can't wait to go back. Great nights sleep too.

Fantastic stay – thanks to a brilliant team!
Pros:

I had a great experience at the Premier Inn Peterborough. Lorraine, Kate, Charleigh and John were absolute superstars – friendly, helpful and genuinely went out of their way to make the stay comfortable. It’s rare to see a team work so well together and make guests feel so welcome. The hotel was clean, quiet and well-run, but it’s really the people who made the difference. Big thanks to the whole team!
