Review Highlights

Pros:
Central location near tram/train and city centre
Consistently praised breakfast
Modern, functional hotel with nearby supermarket
Family rooms noted as spacious
Helpful staff in many stays
Cons:
Some rooms small and beds described as uncomfortable or twin beds pushed together
Worn corridors and carpets; occasional lack of fresh towels
Bathroom layout/ventilation issues reported
Limited parking availability and mixed service consistency (e.g., assistance with baby food, safe access)

Categories

Cleanliness
8
Generally reported as clean and comfortable in multiple reviews (e.g. 'clean', 'camera pulita', 'overall clean comfortable'), but some remarks about worn carpets/corridors and a lack of fresh towels in one stay moderate the score.
Service
7.9
Mostly described as helpful and friendly staff in several reviews, however a few specific negative reports (staff not assisting with baby food heating, needing to see staff to use the safe) indicate some inconsistency.
Location
9
Strongly positive across reviews: central position, close to tram/train, easy access to the city centre and stores (Edeka nearby) — repeatedly highlighted as a major advantage.
Room Quality
7.6
Mixed feedback: some praise for new building and family-room space, but several complaints about small rooms, uncomfortable/thin mattresses, twin beds pushed together for a double, and awkward bathroom door layouts reduce the rating.
Amenities
8
Useful amenities mentioned (parking, kettle/tea/coffee in room, supermarket nearby, functioning AC in many rooms), but limited parking, occasional AC inefficiency in hot weather, and missing in-room fridge for some guests temper the score.
Value for Money
8.7
Multiple reviews explicitly praise the hotel as good value ('tres bon rapport qualité prix', 'super rapport qualité prix'); overall perceived as fair to very good value.
Food and Beverage
8.6
Breakfast is frequently described as very good, tasty and plentiful, which is a clear positive; one comment notes breakfast price felt high, so score is slightly below top marks.
Overall Experience
8.6
Overall stays are described as pleasant, uncomplicated and fitting for short family or city stays; a few operational issues (service inconsistencies, small rooms) prevent a higher overall score.

Brilliant team at premier inn
Pros:

Hello
I turned up not feeling to well and the staff asked if i needed anything and said to call them and even offered to bring food upstairs. Sorry i did not write the two lads names down (2/12)

In the morning i was greeted by a very cheerfull person (grant) who looked after me and offered to get my flask filled up for the day.

Andy the chef clearly cares about his food at breakfast. Most premier inns do a okay cooked breakfast but Andy was hot and tasty and was lovelly.

Great team and all cared about the guest. Thank you all

Great budget stay
Pros:

Stayed here on Saturday 29th November as a family of 3.
Arrived at 9pm after our visit to Wembley to watch football, warm welcome received. Advised to book breakfast but we weren’t sure when we wanted to eat.
Didn’t have food that evening but did have a drink. The gentleman working was really kind and chatty. Was great with our daughter (who loved her gift, thank you)
Comfy room, clean and tidy.
Minimal road noise despite being on the services.
Room was warm but not uncomfortable. Fan in the room should you want it.
Breakfast the next morning was busy. Staff worked non stop. Continental options available to hep yourselves but cooked options are made to order. The waiting staff didn’t stop, constantly working hard to look after guests. We were happy to wait for our food as it was freshly cooked and good quality. Much preferred to a lukewarm buffet! Gluten free bread available when requested (thank you)
Andy the chef did a great job in the kitchen. Food was hot and cooked well. Our daughter didn’t eat the pastry you gave her as a snack for the journey home as she was so full from her bacon, sausage and eggs!

Great value
Pros:

Overall the hotel was clean and without doubt was value for money. Unfortunately was a little disappointed with the bar service on the Friday afternoon as there was no one available to open the bar till 3.00pm. I enquired and was told it was due to staff availability.

Good the bad and ugly
Pros:

My daughter had food poisoning from the evening meal (which we waited for almost 2 hours) kids meal spag bol. Bedroom standard premier inn, service (until i complained) was terrible, i think they were understaffed from what i gathered. The person i spoke to when leaving was helpful and understanding, i thought i would mention this to give a fair hearing!

Friendly and helpful staff
Pros:

Check in was easy and the staff were helpful and friendly who advised us that the hotel was busy and to book breakfast. The room was spacious and clean and no noise could be heard from the main road outside. Breakfast was well organised and plenty of choice. Special thanks to Andy and the restaurant staff who made sure everything was cleaned before my grandsons breakfast was cooked as he has a nut allergy.
Thanks again to everyone 😊

Family and kids stay as we visited harry potter studios
Pros:

We stayed last night and what a nice night sleep we had the room is proper blacked out the room is what you expect from a premier inn to be honest there's no plugs by the bed only usb why not both come on get with the times.
As you get booked you have to book your reg of the car aswell. There is a mcd's a footpath away plus a garage aswell.
We wanted to turn up for breakfast in the morning but be aware that if you turn up you will miss the eat all you want as we only happen to ask about breakfast abit after booking in and only then it was mentioned about booking for breakfast reception should be making people aware of this straight away.
Breakfast was great mind started off with some cornflakes with soya milk then into full English 2 off everything apart from black pudding and back to cornflakes with a blueberry muffin.
The food is not just walk up and fill your plates it needs to ordered but the blueberry muffins cornflakes etc etc are there the fill you boots. Would stay here again

Great value, great nights sleep, fantastic breakfast and amazing staff.
Pros:

The Staff at this hotel were amazing, from our check-in to our fantastic breakfast. The chef even came out of the kitchen and apologised for not including the hash browns. The gentleman at check-in was so friendly and helpful. This is by far one of the best premier inns I have ever stayed in. Definitely be back. Thank you for a memorable stay.

Best Premier Inn I've been too
Pros:

This has to be the nicest premier inn I've been too in a long time. Staff are all approachable and friendly. Had many dealing with Grant in the morning, including the chef Andy who cooks up a great breakfast, enough to set you up for the day! Recommended!

Fantastic Stay, Surprisingly Quiet
Pros:

I really can't fault my stay. The staff were fantastic, the food was great, and the room was clean and comfortable. I was a bit concerned I'd hear the main road, but honestly, I heard nothing at all. It was surprisingly quiet, and I had a great night's sleep.

Not great ! Free parking costs £100.
Pros:

Restaurant is too small for the number of rooms. Unless you want a Shell mean deal or Macdonald's for dinner, the nearest eating place is a 20 minute walk.

Got caught out by the "free parking" not being free unless you enter your details on the tablet, behind you and not in plain view in reception. I saw this the next morning and informed the reception staff who assured me they would get this sorted. A month later I receive a £100 parking ticket from ParkMaven. Why does a hotel car park which his miles from anywhere need managed parking and why do the hotel staff not mention this at check-in?

Unless this is sorted out in my favour - this will be the final time I give Premier inn any of our business!

Great stay, super staff and very convenient
Pros:

Really lovely and unexpected stay. We often stay in Premier Inns as they are convenient and reasonably priced. However on this occasion we were met by Grant at reception. He was really helpful explaining the best time to get to Harry Potter and where to park. His local knowledge also helped with where to go for lunch. He made it very personable.
The bedroom was what we expected but very clean and as always a very comfy bed.
Breakfast was very good and quick which was helpful in leaving on time.
It’s easy to find and the car park had plenty of space. I was concerned about the noise from the dual carriage way but I didn’t need to be, the room was perfectly quiet.
Would definitely stay again if we are in the area again.
