Don’t use the restaurant here!!
Pros:

Experience was terrible at the restaurant within the hotel - when we arrived, we said we had booked a table for 7pm for 7 people. The waitress had made a mistake when booking in, and the chef was so rude to her in front of us which was super unprofessional. He then stomped off and we were left to the table. Ordering drinks at the bar took 20 minutes! The waitress was making drinks one at a time which meant it’s so slow. We were then told it was a 45 minute wait for food, and there were hardly anyone eating in the restaurant. We then decided to leave and go somewhere else as it was such an awful atmosphere. Don’t come to this restaurant!

One of the best hotel visits
Pros:

recently stayed at the Premier Inn and had an excellent experience from start to finish. The room was spotless, comfortable, and perfect for a relaxing night’s sleep. Everything was well-maintained and exactly what you’d expect from a reliable hotel.

A special mention goes to Lizzie and Michael, who were absolutely amazing throughout my stay. They were available 24/7 if I needed anything and consistently went above and beyond to help. Their friendliness and professionalism made a real difference and made me feel genuinely looked after.

The hotel’s location was convenient, and breakfast offered a good variety of fresh options.

Overall, this Premier Inn provided exceptional value and outstanding service. Thanks to the incredible staff—especially Lizzie and Michael—I would happily stay again and highly recommend it to others.

Excellent
Pros:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly Exceptional Stay – Outstanding Service and Brilliant Staff

From the moment I arrived, I knew this hotel was something special. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, but what truly sets it apart is the exceptional team behind it. Every staff member I encountered was genuine, attentive, and incredibly professional.

Check-in was smooth and friendly, with the front desk staff offering helpful tips about the hotel and surrounding area. Throughout my stay, the team went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect—from housekeeping keeping the room spotless to the restaurant staff providing impeccable service with a smile.

What impressed me most was how every request, big or small, was handled with efficiency and sincerity. It’s clear that the staff take real pride in their work, and their positive attitude made the entire experience unforgettable.

The hotel itself is beautifully maintained, but it’s the people here who truly elevate the stay. I can’t recommend this place enough for anyone looking for comfort, hospitality, and a genuinely welcoming environment. I’ll definitely be returning!

Practical and comfortable
Pros:

We were only there for the night, visiting family over the weekend. overall the stay was pleasant, the room was clean and very cosy, the restaurant was inviting and the staff were very nice. there was a good selection of food for breakfast. Oh, and onsite parking front and back which was handy. The hotel is situated in a good location, close to everything you need, station next door, opposite the beach, next to dreamland and all the shops and restaurants.

Great, as usual.
Pros:

We stayed to attend an event at the Lowry and this hotel was in a great position for that. It has all of the things that you expect from Premier Inn - a comfy bed in a quiet hotel and good breakfast etc. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Chargeable parking is just next door and you can get a discount from the hotel, meaning that it's pretty reasonable for a city. We had a great time and will, no doubt, be back.

I will definitely be returning to this hotel.

Overall very happy.

Budget friendly option with easy access to city centre via tram.
Pros:

Great choice for a trip to Manchester. Very reasonably priced rooms and right on the tram line for a quick journey to the city centre. Parking available in the adjacent multi storey at a reduced rate (Less.than half of the daily standard rate).

Just the job!
Pros:

We booked a last minute night here after a visit to the Corrie experience! We requested a quiet room on arrival and were rewarded with a peaceful nights sleep in a comfy bed and blackout curtains. Room was large and comfortable…the usual Premier Inn standard. We didn’t use any of the hotels facilities as we ate at a local restaurant. Was a room for a purpose and ticked the boxes. Be aware there is quite a low height limit at the car park opposite which we were not aware of. The hotel/car park helped us find a solution.

As it is, disappointing
Pros:

Stopped for a couple of nights. The location was perfect for us right by the train station and a short walk to everything else in margate. We arrived a couple of hours before check in. Stopped in to ask if we could drop a bag and was told we could check in early for £15 so we did. The 2 women we dealt with were unfriendly bordering on rude. Had a room With a sea view but it was old and dirty and was in need of a refurbishment which seemed to be happening elsewhere around the hotel. Unusually for a Premier inn I also found the bed very uncomfortable. We had breakfast one day and again the too women seemed very offish towards us however they were chatting and friendly to the older clients. The breakfast was also only luke warm. On check out we dealt with a gentleman who was friendly and helped us store our bags for us. I didn't get his name but he seemed to be the only person we spoke to who knew how to smile and be helpful and friendly.

If you like a warm room to sleep great otherwise dont bother
Pros:

Building is very smart, self service check out was simple to use. Room was in reasonable condition, the headboard had a rip, few patches of paint where damage has been covered up although the room itself was a reasonable size. I arrived around d 8.30 and parked in the car park opposite, a discount is available by getting your ticket stamped although I did have to speak to the office in the building to do it. Breakfast was good, small selection compared to other hotels but adequate for my needs. The main thing that let it down was the temperature- the building is very warm so when I arrived it was lovely however with a duvet on it is far too warm. I turned on the air conditioning however what I didn't know was it only works for a couple of hours and turns itself off. I thought it was continuous and didn't realise until 5am this was the case. In the morning I did speak to a staff member who advised this is thr case as they assume during the day you are out and that you can just turn it back on so unfortunately I didn't have a good night sleep as I keep waking up sweating and ended up not being on form which unfortunately due to the days events and reason I was staying impacted thr outcome of the following day severely. I dread to think what the hotel would be like in summer and not mid October!

Premier Margate weekend getaway
Pros:

Perfect location to get out and about in Margate. From start to finish nothing was too much trouble. All staff were very welcoming and attentive, providing additional information about the area. We requested a quiet twin room which was arranged and this had just been renovated and was in perfect condition. Parking on site so easy to access. We would recommend.

Great value for money
Pros:

Staying in this hotel represents great value for money. The room was very spacious and there was a nicely fitted bathroom with 'rain shower'. As the Premier Inn TV commercial with Lenny Henry suggests you can bank on a good night's sleep in the brand's beds, thanks to the amazingly comfortable mattresses. One of the highlights of staying here was the meal deals. I discovered some lovely pubs in Margate but not much choice when it came to evening food availability. This is where the Premier Inn excels offering a steak, dessert and pint at a deal price you won't find elsewhere. The hotel is only about five minutes walk from the centre of Margate and its long sandy beaches. For night owls like me you can pop out to a nearby Wetherspoon's pub (The Mechanical Elephant) for a late drink. Parking was free for me but paid parking for guests was being introduced during my three night stay and guests need to ensure on their day of departure they move their car from the hotel's car park by a fixed time to avoid a penalty charge. Full English breakfast fans will be in their element here though on busy days it may be best to avoid peak times during breakfast sittings. Overall there is a lot to admire about the Premier Inn brand.

Fantastisk
Pros:

Fantastisk område.
Vi var der for at se fodbold.
Hotellet ligger tæt på Old Trafford. Men der er en kæmpe række af muligheder, hvis man ønsker at lave andet.
