Good hotel, bad breakfast
Pros:

Pros - The rooms are a good size and clean. There are plenty of parking spaces and the rooms are very quiet. The price for the rooms were very reasonable and check in was easy.
The staff are helpful and friendly.

Cons - The breakfast was terrible for the price. Nothing was getting refilled and you had to ask for missing items. The orange juice and water were empty. There was no white bread (until you asked for it), limited choice of bread, and the pastries were dry.
There was only a choice of over hard eggs, no soft yolk, scrambled or boiled eggs were offered.

The breakfast timing was terrible, so you spent time waiting for items, such as if the eggs were cooked, then the bacon was missing etc.

Typical Premier Plus room
Pros:

Usual Premier Inn standard with comfy bed, fridge and Nespresso machine. Dinner at the hotel restaurant was diabolical, possibly the worst meal I've ever had. Totally disinterested serving staff, huge wait times and dire food. Make sure you go out for dinner. Buffet breakfast was actually ok as was the staff.

This Premier Inn has gone down in our estimation
Pros:

Our room was disappointing as the coffee machine leaked badly & when we mentioned it, a member of staff said they all leaked so we didn't use it again. The walk in shower did not drain away so I checked the drain plug & it was clogged up with hair etc. I removed it & put it into the bin in the bathroom. I complained to the member of staff & she said she would send the housekeeper up to our room, we never saw her. We did not know that the adjoining restaurant had been shut & that there was an inhouse café for dinner & breakfast. We were told that it had been closed for 2 years but we stay every November & it was open last year. We travel from the Midlands & it is nearly a 3 hour journey so we had to wait in our car until our room was ready as we did not want to pay the supplement for the 40 minute wait. We were allowed to use the toilet as we had nowhere else to go. In the café for dinner there was a small menu with a few items not available. What we had was OK although there was quite a wait. Breakfast was chaotic as the café is very small. The staff tried very hard to replenish items but there really wasn't enough of them to service so many people at once. Very unfair I thought. We had already booked a return for 2 nights next month & unsure what to expect.

Made to feel very welcome
Pros:

Fantastic thanks to Kerry and Kerri who made me feel very at home when I was missing my own home. They made me a late night cup of decaf and chatted to me for ten minutes and it made me feel less lonely

Location was an issue for finding some where to eat and problems with the drainage in the room we had.
Pros:

I had a review form sent to my email, but clicked on it to complain about the issues we had with the room but it said it had timed out. So I want to leave a review here. when I booked once it confirmed my booking it came up as one person, I contacted the hotel to say there would be two people staying. when we booked in they said they would bring another towel for the bathroom. but had to go to reception to get the towel. No place to eat close by so booked to eat . the staff were good but the food was microwaved and not that good and the meal was expensive for what it was. the bar was even more expensive. the room was good enough but the sink and bath were making noises when we went to sleep and having a shower in the morning the water did not run away and filled up the bath. and did not run away for about 15 minutes. the drainage system had problems. I was going to bring these issues up with them but could not access the form due to it being timed out . Alack of places to eat nearby which you would need to drive to for a good place to eat. I would not stay at this premier inn again . But would try the other premier inn in Salisbury if I had to go again.

Not the usual Premier Inn experience, very poor. Would not return here.
Pros:

Disappointed with the restaurant and the attitude of the staff. Had to remind them we had not ordered food, then had to remind them to bring the drinks. At that point, only brought half our drinks order out, then only brought 4 out of 6 desserts and no apology offered. We were told the "Kids Eat Free" offer didn't apply as we had not got the meal deal, despite the terms saying otherwise! Certainly not the usual Premier Inn standard. When we raised the issues with the staff, they appeared as though they couldn't care less.

The following morning at breakfast was much better, and more like the usual Premier Inn service with friendly, attentive staff. The restaurant is too small for the size of the hotel.

We will not be returning to this Premier Inn in the future.

Not my best experince
Pros:

This hotel really has put me off staying here again, i arrived at 15:
35 to be told room was not ready and that i would have to return back to reception 20 mins later, there was no cooked breakfast options availble due to no stock. Paid for a meal deal for three people and we only had the evening meal, food was not the best, bland and dry and waited over an hour for main mean.
Room was clean and comfortable, plenty of parking, lady at check inn was not very polite at all.
The social was rather small

Terrible
Pros:

Salisbury north Bishopsdown
Travelled over 3 hours for a funeral. Got to the inn after 6pm to be told there's is limited food for breakfast.
Got to my room , very clean but mattress was hard and quilt hadnt been put inside the cover properly which meant it was wrapping round my legs, so had to make the bed myself also one pillow was lumpy and the other as flat as.
Went down for breakfast to be told again limited food, if you ate any thing you still pay for the cooked breakfast. £10.99. There was egg beans and hash browns which to me doesn't amount to the price of a cooked breakfast.
I can say I wasn't the only person complaining. Yes Igot a refund but after not having a good night's sleep to not having any breakfast, I then had to drive home for 3 hours . I always enjoy staying at a premier Inn for the comfort of the beds and the cooked breakfast, I have to say how disappointed I was. Don't think I will be staying at Bishopsdiwn again

Much improved rooms
Pros:

Credit where credit is due - I'm back and the rooms have been refurbished. They are clean and everything is in a great condition.

A couple of things took it down a point though. Our room wasn't ready at 15:30. Breakfast is an odd set up and could be made clearer. We were asked at check in if we wanted breakfast the next day and we declined. However we were staying for 3 nights and foolishly we thought we could go on another morning. If you haven't booked you could only have continental which looked a bit sorry for itself. Hot food is now cooked according to those who have booked in which is great for food waste but not really the unlimited offer advertised. Fortunately there are other better options nearby The Wood Bar, Salt deli and M&S at the petrol station. Other guests continue to be noisy. None of these are deal breakers now that the rooms are so much better.

Good hotel, poor breakfast experience
Pros:

The location and hotel was great, friendly staff and fairly quiet. Didn't get woken up by people stamping above us, but that's probably just luck, as it's a common thing for premier inns!
We love Premier Inn normally and the breakfast is a big treat for my kids, but this place was very disappointing. The perpetual toaster was broken, so just a 4 slice pop up toaster in action. Pancakes and crumpets kept running out and not topped up until you point it out and the hot food was something else.... Mushrooms, tomatoes and bacon was consistently undercooked, bacon is eaten differently by everyone so this was ok but the rest was a bit rubbish. Food was running out and taking ages to restock. Normally they are cooking and topping up the food before it runs out, but the hash browns, sausages and eggs weren't put into the oven until they had run out, meaning people were stood waiting for hash browns on one day for ten minutes!
The eating area is very small and cosy, felt sorry for the woman with a wheelchair struggling to get around, and my feet were constantly sticking to the floor, particularly when sat at the tables!
Not as enjoyable as it usually is at a premier inn

Avoid the restaurant, a let down from start to finish
Pros:

The room itself was very clean and comfortable, which we appreciated after a long day. However, the bedside table was more of a small stool and not really fit for purpose.
Unfortunately, the restaurant experience was extremely disappointing and should be avoided. When we first enquired about an evening meal, the restaurant was empty, yet we were advised to book and return in half an hour. When we did, it was suddenly full and clearly understaffed. The menu was limited and overpriced for what was offered.
I ordered the fish and chips, which came with bread and butter that we paid extra for — except there was no butter, and the bread was completely dried out and inedible. After finishing our meal, we waited 20 minutes just to receive the dessert menu. I ordered the banoffee cheesecake, only to be served it without bananas and with no explanation given.
Breakfast the next morning was equally poor. The so-called “unlimited breakfast” was very limited — no hot food was being cooked, no pastries were available, and the latte machine dispensed only warm milk with no coffee.
Overall, this was by far the worst Premier Inn restaurant we have ever visited. When we raised our concerns, the team showed little interest and didn’t seem to care at all.

Good rooms, poor breakfast
Pros:

Nice comfy typical Premier Inn.
Room and facilities good. Very pleased to have an actual bath. Staff friendly.
Breakfast was chaotic. The room is too small to accommodate all guests. Despite adverts saying they provided the full Breakfast range staff told me their kitchen is unable to provide porridge, eggs (other than fried) or the vegetarian sausage/bacon.
Would stay at the hotel again but probably wouldn't book breakfast.

The best customer service ever!
Pros:

The hotel is comfortable and peaceful. The staff are utterly amazing. In particular Kerry, who has excellent customer service and is professional and a great asset to the Premier Inn group. Kerry assisted me when I had a challenge with my car and went well above and beyond the call of duty to help. 5 out of 5 star rating!!!
