Perfect for us
Pros:

We have stayed in Borehamwood Premier Inn many times over the past year. The position is perfect for us, the room is always in immaculate condition, and above all the staff are very friendly and obliging. We come to this area to see our family and look after our grandchildren on a regular basis.. and this and will continue to be our “go to” hotel. Thanks to everyone

Start your day right!!! 🤩
Pros:

I live in Borehamwood & have been coming to Premier Inn most days over the course of the last month for breakfast.

I have ME/CFS & struggle with basic daily living tasks so coming here for breakfast ensures I start my day right with a good meal.

It's also a great place to meet people & feel less isolated.

The team here are wonderful... Maria, Jermaine & Frank always greet me with a smile & are very accommodating and Frank makes the best poached eggs!!!! 🤩

A really lovely team spirit here... it's a joy to see.

Breakfast is served weekdays 6.30-10.30am & 7-11am at weekends.

I always go for the unlimited cooked breakfast at £10.99. Great value and a great selection of breakfast options.

Location, location, location
Pros:

The only thing this hotel has going for it is its location.
Our room had so few furniture items we thought we’d been burgled.
No table or surfaces to put cases.
The “wardrobe” was a joke.
There weren’t any drawers.
The bed was extremely uncomfortable.
Premier? - we don’t think so.

Blaze saved the day!
Pros:

We stayed one night as my mum had to go for surgery at Stanmore the following morning. When we arrived, we were unable to check in as the rooms were not ready. We were helped by Blaze who seemed to be running the whole place alone! He was checking people in, serving in the bar, and in the restaurant (food was great) . Although the hotel was obviously short staffed, Blaze and the other team members were great, very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. He maintained a sense of humour even though he must have been under immense pressure. When we left the following morning at 6.30am , Blaze was still there as he had covered for an ill colleague. He should be paid for three other people as he wore many hats that day! He even wished mum good luck for her surgery. What a guy! Promote him immediately!
Will be back!

Stay somewhere else!
Pros:

Room looked tired and had a smell.
Female staff were miserable, especially the one covering reception.
Breakfast was chaotic.
Food was not regularly topped up. There was a queue of us waiting for hot food. We could hear shouting and arguing coming from the kitchen.
I asked for pastries to be replenished, didn't happen.
A lady had been waiting 10 minutes for clean mugs. I asked again, took a long time for them to come out.
Lots of people asking for well cooked bacon and sausage as that in dishes was barely cooked. The cook surely should have realised what was wrong and saved the hassle of people complaining!
Worst Premier Inn I've stayed at.

Tired and unclean hotel. Friendly staff.
Pros:

I had 2 rooms booked and arrived just after 3pm. Neither of the rooms had been hoovered. the common areas had clearly not been hoovered that day either.
Thanks to Christine at reception for hoovering them. We had to moved as the sink plug was jammed. (That room had not been hoovered either).
Went to bed and noticed an accumulation of dust hanging from the ceiling and on the wall. Its a shame housekeeping has let down the hotel as the staff in particular Christine and James went above and beyond helping my mum when she thought she had lost her bank card. If it hadn’t been for the friendly staff I would have given 2 stars.

Hotel fine Bar and Restaurant dirty
Pros:

Hotel fine, standard you would expect from Premier Inn. Good location, excellent for Tram. Bar and restaurant awful. Stayed for long weekend and cleanliness of bar and restaurant not good. Same Food debris on floors under tables all weekend. Had been a roof issue debris from roof on floor for entire stay and a bed sheet hung up to disguise it! Chose not to eat there our first night when saw some of the food being served. Breakfast pretty poor quality less of a selection than I’ve experienced at previous Premier Inns. Can recommend Starbank Inn nearby for lunch or dinner.

Don't go!
Pros:

The room was fine though tired.
The staff were obviously not happy in their jobs, rarely saw a smile.
The breakfast.....well the bacon was barely cooked but the fact that eggs, beans, sausage and bacon totally ran out at one stage resulting in several people queuing for more than 5 minutes waiting for them to be topped up. While waiting we could hear the staff arguing and shouting in the kitchen!
Then there were no clean mugs, also resulting in a long wait.
My tea pot was obviously not washed properly previously as the was an old teabag label stuck inside the spout!!
Needless to say we will not be staying here again
