Disappointing Unlimited breakfast
Pros:

I should start by saying I had a great night sleep and the bed was comfortable.
Clean room and good shower. The staff were welcoming also and free parking is a bonus. Good location for street and glastonbury. Has an aldi close by
My only complaint was the breakfast. I paid 10.99 for the unlimited deal but found the brewers fayre next door seemed to have run out of most of the pastries and fruit. As a vegetarian I was also told I would have to preorder vegetarian sausages or veggie bacon. It was chaotic and the food was below average I'm afraid.

Terrible manager with Terrible attitude.
Pros:

Once again I have write another bad review about this hotel. This is second time I have been really badly treated here. So it isnt just a coincidence. We were trying to book in on Saturday night but the staff were telling us we were booked into the Premier inn at St Enochs. This reference number had already seen the rest of our party get their rooms. But we were assured that we were booked into St Enochs. So we got a taxi to the other hotel, only to be told that we were definitely booked into the Gorbals branch. So got a taxi back and again the same outcome. Obviously by this stage we were quite annoyed. So now comes along the manager, who from the outset had a terrible attitude. It ended up with him refusing us into the hotel, as he was offended.
So do yourself a favour and stay well clear of this branch of the Premier inn. By the way, the lady dealing with us at St Enoch's branch, was excellent.

Let down at breakfast
Pros:

I stayed here for work and had a meal deal. The evening meal was fantastic however the whole experience was ruined by the lady who was in the restaurant at breakfast. I waited at the counter to be seated for at least 10 minutes then decided I needed to eat as I had work really soon. I was greeted with a grimace from this woman and I then gave my room number. I told her I was waiting a while to which she responded shouting across the restaurant “IM ON MY OWN “……I wish I’d said…frankly I don’t care…I’m the customer but I just got my breakfast and left. It’s not hard to keep an eye on who is waiting….very rude woman and let the whole stay down. She also failed to ask about food allergies.

Awful noise from adjacent room(s)
Pros:

The room was generally fine apart from a badly peeling counter edge. It was large (not complaining about that) but it made it seem under-furnished and a bit unwelcoming. Nice, clean, recently refurbished bathroom. Good water pressure in the shower. BUT: awful noise from room above, continuous clumping and bumping from feet. and at 5:30 in the morning a fan started up with a noise like a rocket and was still running when I left the room at 9am. And more clumping from above. No way I could get back to sleep. Dreadful night. They couldn't move me for the second night (hotel was full) which fortunately was less noisy.

Pros:

Great location for city centre and not too long a walk back from Hampden Park. Rooms were good as they always are at a Premier Inn. Friendly, welcoming staff throughout.

Hotel needs a full refurbishment and better maintenance
Pros:

I really don’t understand the recent good reviews. Staff is nice and area is convenient. I had to stay there a few times for work and every time room was cold, very noisy radiator, black mould and dust on walls in the bedroom (room on top floor) and in the bathroom.
They are currently refurbishing the elevator but should really refurbish the whole place!
Very disappointed, usually premier inn are better than this.

Short break in Glasgow
Pros:

This hotel is convenient as it is approximately 15 mins walk from the city centre. It has excellent parking which costs £9 a day, but that's par for the course nowadays. The room was clean and comfortable with plenty of room. We did have an evening meal but breakfast was good with plenty of choice. We would definitely stop there again.

Pros:

Room was great, customer service was less than average.
No one looked like they wanted to be there. Not helpful at all and didn’t even smile at you when you walk into the hotel! Not helpful whatsoever and were rude.

Clean, comfy, good value and cheery staff.
Pros:

Typical Premier Inn, clean, comfy, with very friendly and helpful staff. Easy parking, and hotel handy for town centre. We took advantage of a recent cheap price deal with inclusive breakfasts.

Cleanliness issues and insect found during stay
Pros:

I stayed at the Premier Inn Glasgow City Centre South for 3 nights. Unfortunately, I found an insect on my bed on the second night, which could possibly have been a bedbug (photo attached). There was no suitable alternative room available at the time, but the team was very friendly and provided fresh bed linen.
Overall cleanliness was below expectations.
Staff throughout my stay were kind and helpful, but the cleanliness issues and the incident significantly affected the quality of my stay.

Bad first impression and didn’t feel safe
Pros:

Stayed at Premier Inn Glastonbury and felt unsafe from arrival. Caravans outside gave a poor first impression. Reception was unmanned late at night, leaving me vulnerable as a woman with teenager. Around 1am, loud noise and banging outside my room came from staff in hoody, including the regional manager, moving towel trolleys, trolleys left outside room (not safe if there was a fire) and talking loudly. I opened my door to speak to them but received no apology or refund for a sleepless night. Four days later, still no response from the regional manager. Extremely disappointing experience — felt unsafe, ignored, and would not recommend staying here. Positives lady on reception lovely. I imagine poor chap in photo was just following managers instructions.

Good value
Pros:

Very big room with decent bed. Very clean apart from bathroom which needed a deeper clean. Plenty of space and very good design for practical space etc. Unfortunately, can't open window so the air conditioning was on and very noisy at night. Otherwise, excellent value for money.

Great experience
Pros:

I have stayed at many Premier Inns in Great Britain but have to say that the Premier Inn in Glastonbury is definitely my favourite. It is the staff who make it such a great experience. They are all unfailingly attentive and courteous and no request is too much trouble. My thanks to everybody in Premier Inn in Glastonbury.

Comfortable stay
Pros:

We stayed here one night on route to Devon. Our Premier Plus room was comfortable and clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. The staff at the attached pub were also friendly and the new menu catered for all tastes . The food we chose was well presented and tasty.
