Good value in an excellent location
Pros:

Good location, multi storey car park very close by with excellent rates. Hotel was spotlessly clean and the staff were friendly. Had a room on the 9th floor which was very quiet.

Pros:

The room was very clean. The staff were all very friendly. I arrived after midnight check in time due to my train being delayed. The overnight staff were so kind and let me in, and helped me to check in to my room. I really appreciate it.

Comfortable, competitively priced accommodation
Pros:

Really competitively priced stay in a central location. The bedroom/bathroom was fairly spacious, very clean and comfortable.
Staff were really helpful and accommodating, especially when I had to cancel my original booking and defer for a week.

My stay at Premier Inn Bradford
Pros:

Stayed at this hotel for 5 nights in October 2025 for the first time with a friend. My room was very good, very spacious and had everything that i needed in it. The staff in the hotel was great, apart from a couple of them sat doing nothing in the reception area when i checked inn on the first day.
Breakfast was good, apart from some of it being on the cold side, but enjoyable.
Would very much stay in this hotel again.

Slippery bathroom
Pros:

I visited the Bradford Central Premier Inn, traveling from Essex to attend a wedding function the following day. On the day of arrival, I experienced a fall in the bathroom while preparing for a shower due to a slippery surface, resulting in injuries to both of my legs.

Location and food
Pros:

Nice place, kind people, spacy rooms. Menu updated and breakfast include if you choose 2 course meal option (£26.99).

Location perfect for a city center. No own carpark but plenty of option around.

3 out of 5, smoky as you arrive.
Pros:

Good location & clean rooms, my only gripe was the staff smoking right outside the entrance as you arrive, had to walk through the smoke as there is not another entrance, not very pleasant really.

Could be better

Staff friendly, room very clean. No premier plus despite booking and paying for it. No refund as yet. Breakfast very poor by Premier Inn status. Egss looked like they had been there a long time,

Great breakfast, quiet rooms
Pros:

Fantastic well priced breakfast (can not go wrong with £10.99 per person to have a full cooked, served to order fresh breakfast and unlimited drinks). Rooms spacey, also quiet, must be nice thick walls to not hear the neighbours.

Great value for money
Pros:

By far the best hotel I’ve stayed in this week while visiting old friends and family in Yorkshire; also the cheapest! Lovely spacious clean room, great breakfast and super helpful, polite staff. Very quiet for a city centre hotel with a comfortable bed, ensuring a good night’s sleep. Short walk from both train stations so very convenient for public transport. I would definitely stay here for the whole length of any future visits to the area.

Excellent hotel
Pros:

We stayed here in a standard room as premier plus was not available. That said the room was very fresh, clean and comfortable. The best thing about this hotel is its location virtually across the road from Bradford Interchange and only a short walk to the city centre with fantastic bars, restaurants and museums. The staff were wonderful, especially Angela who looked after us beautifully. Would highly recommend.

Does What It Says In The Ads
Pros:

It is a premier inn and does exactly what it says in the advertising.
The good points of this hotel are:
1. The staff. Professional and efficient
2. Air conditioning that works properly and not too much external road noise.
3. Good location for the city centre/ transport links.
Improvement:
The lifts are quirky. Second lift is not obvious due to a fire door.
Rubbish left outside hotel not cleared daily.

Another great stay thanks to the lovely staff
Pros:

Stop at this hotel on a regular basis for work and to visit family. Rooms always super clean and facilities modern compared to some Premier Inns. Best thing about Bradford Central however is the staff. Whoever is on duty, they are always so friendly and welcoming, nothing is too much trouble. Whoever trains them for customer service deserves a pay rise!

Rude staff
Pros:

Stayed here (Premier Inn Bradford Central) 11/08 -16/08, on arrival all seemed fine, room clean. However night 3 all lights went out on our room, 2x children, not ideal. I went to reception stating I had an emergency, two ladies at the bar coversating with 3 men, I called one of the over and explained I have an emergency, she promptly responded Im serving they were here first (referring to the 3 men). This was very unhelpful as another girl was already in yhe process of serving these men who were all part of the same group. She then walked away over to the bar and preceeded to whisper to her colleague.
After 3 or 4 minutes I began to ask the second girls for help, the one who was serving. She responded very aggressively "my colleagues is dealing with it). I responded by asking her lower her voice she didn't instead said she said you were rude to me so I'm gonna give it back. Referencing my frustration at not been helped by the first lady in an emergency.
Appalling customer service, no professionalism whats so ever, rude, aggressive front of house staff.

Lovely staff but wouldn't stay again
Pros:

Staff are lovely. Breakfast was awful, cooked breakfast was cold and the fried eggs were like rubber. We asked if we could have fresh eggs cooked but chef refused. Lots of homeless people hanging around the hotel, even had to step over one who was sleeping in the hotel doorway
