A very comfortable hotel
Pros:

Stayed one night 4th November. On arrival I was greeted by a very helpful girl check in was easy. Down for dinner to be greeted by the same girl. The girl showed me to my table took my order. Another young girl brought my drink, then brought my meal. There was only the two girls working reception, the bar, taking orders and serving, they were the hardest working young girls I have seen in along time, very polite with a smile, you are a credit to the hotel

Weekend in Alnwick
Pros:

Friendly staff on arrival, we were 30 mins early for check in and as we didn’t want to pay extra for an early check in (our room was ready) we parked and walked into Alnwick. Room were as expected. We ate in the restaurant a couple of times, the food was nice and plenty of choice (we did the meal deal) but there was just a slight undercurrent of staffing issues / understaffed and service very slow. Hopefully this will improve, it’s the second time of staying here and we would return.

Lovely clean and modern Premier Inn so close to Alnwick attractions
Pros:

A wonderful stay for me and my family. We were visiting Alnwick Garden and Lilidorei. It was so close. The hotel was cosy, my boys loved the purple strip light about the bed, the staff were friendly, and the shower was super hot and powerful. I found the price really reasonable and kids eating free was an added bonus for breakfast. All in all a perfect stay.

Premier Inn Alnwick
Pros:

Booked a Premier Plus room and we were satisfied with the room. Larger bed, fridge with water, coffee machine with pods and walk in shower in the bathroom. Room was clean and comfortable. There is an in house bar and small restaurant. It can get busy so better to book a table in the evening. The food was simple but well cooked and presented. Breakfast was self service and again well cooked with a range of cereals, pastries, fruit and yogurts. Again the staff were pleasant and helpful. We will book again on our next visit to the area.

Liker Plusrommene på Premier inns. Hotellet er i et industriområde, så ikke mye å se rundt hotellet, men hyggelig personale og rolig og komfortabelt.

Excellent hotel especially as a centre to explore Northumberland.
Pros:

Easy access, convenient to the town and the rest of Northumberland, superb car parking. Hotel is well maintained, staff very friendly and efficient, room clean and comfortable - air conditioned throughout. Restaurant good with a decent menu, especially for breakfast. Lots of well thought out details showing this is run by an experienced operating company. Well recommended.

Perfect...
Pros:

Was given upgraded premier plus room and it was fabulous. The food was first class but what made it perfect was the very friendly welcoming staff. Plenty of parking available. We use this when using Newcastle Airport as it's always good, will be back, thank you

Could be better but not too bad
Pros:

Stayed for two nights here whilst visiting Alnwick and Bamburgh Castles and Holy island. Great location for all those if you have a car.

I would say the room was clean but unfortunately I found someone’s old socks on the shelf of the side table!
I took them down to reception and he did apologise.

As others have said the staff are very young, some are really switched on and efficient some are not. Second night they took our order for food and it was quite sometime before she came to say they were out of my dish, so was almost an hour until we got dinner. My cocktail had been made wrongly too, should have had a prosecco shot but it didn’t.

Just some more training needed I think, the staff are really friendly and I don’t know her name but the girl with the long ginger hair was fantastic.

We possibly would return here because it is convenient and cheap, but I don’t want to find dirty socks next time!

Not good
Pros:

Really bad management. Shouted at by a cleaner saying they will call the police if I don’t leave the room. Despite being placed here by police for domestic abuse. Expensive for what it’s worth.

Great new facilities - very poor food
Pros:

Great rooms, parking and staff.
Evening meal was very poor. Many menu items unavailable. The curry was like a watery soup and was sent back. The pizza was a very poor frozen pizza. Breakfast wasn’t up to usual premier standards - poor choice of continental and very average hot food presentation

Premier Inn
Pros:

The hotel is relatively new and it shows. The staff were very friendly but overworked. The receptionist seems to be expected to run the bar and serve food. Either management or Whitbread need to rethink this. The fire alarm was playing up when we arrived which the receptionist was having to deal with amongst everything else expected of them. The room was clean, comfortable, just what you expect from Premier Inn.

Great stay at this hotel.
Pros:

We had a great first stay at a Premier Inn in Alnwick. There was a great size car park, where you had to sign in when you get in the hotel. The man on reception was very welcoming and efficient. Our room on the first floor was of a good size, the bed was a king size and so comfortable. The bathroom was a good size it included a bath with a shower, I’m on the small size, it was a struggle getting out of the bath side, it was on the high side. This is a new hotel, everything in the room was spotlessly clean and sparkling.
We had a great sleep, there was no noise from neighbouring rooms or people walking along the corridor or outside.
We were only there overnight so never used any of the amenities.
We thought the hotel was good value for money and will definitely use Premier Inn again.
