Not good at all
Pros:

Room was far too hot, we had the window open and the desktop fan in the room on, it was still 25degrees in the morning. There is a lot of road traffic noise all night. So we had an awful nights sleep. Other guests were not considerate, banging from adjoining room and guest in room above us woke us at 0400 stomping around. We have stayed here several times before, it will be the last time now as there is always a problem. Hotel is starting to look very shabby.

Fantastic 1 nights stay
Pros:

Fantastic location bang in the middle of Doncaster, great Atmosphere, Big clean rooms.
Could have been cheaper, unfortunately I was next the boiler room and it kept me awake most of the night other than that never heard a thing.
Fantastic staff going out of their way to help. Plenty of Amenities around love the wool market around the corner full of food vendors from around the world and bars plus games too.

Standard premier inn
Pros:

Standard for premier inn, they are all very similar. You know what you’re getting.
The room however was very cold on arrival. I was supplied with a heater but a cold room is not ideal after a long day when you just want to relax.

A good choice.
Pros:

If you're at the front of the hotel you're likely to get a sea view, especially on a higher floor. Or if you're at the back, as I was, you'll get a nice 'white cliffs' view! Friendly staff and no issues at all during a nice one night stay.

Doncaster premier
Pros:

A comfortable hotel with friendly staff and good food. The chef Alex is brilliant and caters to my needs what with being disabled I sometimes need my food cut up and it’s never a problem. Best gammon I’ve ever eaten. I’ll always stay here while working in the area. Never had a bad meal here and always a comfortable sleep.

Awesome stay
Pros:

I always booked premier inn for my family. I always booked 2 family room,but this is the first time they arrange 2 of the family rooms right next to each other, I am surprised by their sweet arrangement ,that’s makes an easier stay.
The free breakfast is such a good deal during term break.
The room is clean and tidy as usual,I was shocked by the nice sea view of the room, I will come again definitely!

Bedbugs!
Pros:

A horrible experience last night. Only had to sleep for 1 night, I had room 302 and the bed I chose turned out to be infested with bed bugs.... woke up with loads of parasite bites on my leg. Definitely do not recommend this hotel for any purposes. I was staying at the hotel from 29.10.2025 to 30.10.2025.

Overnight Stay En Route Europe
Pros:

What a fantastic location and hotel .
We were visiting mainland Europe so planned an overnight stop off before departing for France in the morning.
Easy to find the parking space upon arrival.
Everything was absolutely perfect.
Louise the manageress and her team were so so friendly and super helpful.
Nothing at all was too much trouble or effort for Louise or her team .
The location is perfectly suited to the nearby Ferry Terminal in Dover or Eurotunnel a few miles away .
We had a lovely spacious room which was immaculately presented and spotlessly clean .
Our room benefited from a sea view which really was the highlight of the stay .
We will definitely return to Dover Central again.
Massive recommendation to anyone wanting to stay in this area or for an overnight stop before heading to Europe.
Again a huge thank you to Louise and her team .
We can’t wait to come back .
Absolutely Fabulous

Comfortable and Spacious (accessible)
Pros:

This was our second stay at the Dover Central. It was a comfortable and pleasant break with good sleep quality and ease of access. We were in an accessible room (Number 4), and it was spacious and the accessible shower room was really well laid out. The room was quiet, and the temperature control was good. There was also loads of hot water. The parking on site was a reasonably priced extra, and was more than offset by the free breakfast booking deal we recieved. The 3 pm check-in is pretty strictly held, but we didn't need to wait long after our arrival.

Poor sleeping/room temperature
Pros:

Dinner great. Breakfast good. Only problem I had this time was the room was too hot and you couldn’t cool it down so poor sleep all round. Had the fan (provided in room) turned on and didn’t feel anything at all from it. We always have had a great night sleep with premier inn
