Fantastic stay
Pros:

Had a lovely stay. The hotel is well located along the sea front and the room was well presented, clan and have a fantastic view out onto the sea. Cleanliness was brilliant I couldn’t find 1 thing wrong with anything. Room allocation was spot on. Joe was very helpful booking and accommodating for my needs

Mostly ok
Pros:

A little bit of a walk from the main drag but we were ok with that as we had checked out the location online before booking. Right next to the Pleasure Beach (which was closed as we visited a week after the schools went back!!).
Ok value for money but disappointed with the cleanliness of our room. Bathroom and coffee making area was dirty and half a bottle of cognac had been left on the floor behind the curtain suggesting the curtains don’t get moved when vacuuming.
The Beefeater attached had mostly friendly staff apart from our second morning when the stressed out woman running the breakfast sitting really wasn’t coping and had a go at us for not booking a time slot (even though we specifically asked the night before if we needed to…) but the food was pretty good, mostly.

Terribly made room
Pros:

The room for which I paid for was poor as it was a family room with a single bed a double bed of adequate quality but the small cot fit for a person about 5ft 7in was soild as if sleeping on a slab of wood as well as the view of which I paid extra for was completely non existent as the single bed was covering the window

Poor customer service, filthy restaurant and stinking room
Pros:

Was put in a room that had someone smoking in and we couldnt breathe. Requested at reception to be moved was told id have to drive to another hotel. Explained I didnt book a different hotel and I expected to be moved to a clean room. Eventually after a long time wrangling with Paula the miserable receptionist we were moved. Both rooms were not clean nor the bathrooms
Restaurant next day for breakfast- pastries burnt, bread stale and the eggs were under cooked and snotty.
Contacted PI before leaving a review and got a response basically calling me a liar, but giving me a 'goodwill' half of first night payment refund.
Whenever family visit from overseas they have used premier inn, not anymore.
Zero customer service and really nasty dirty hotel. Unbelievably on our last trip we decided to try travelodge... half the price and clean!

Two night weekend stay.
Pros:

We stayed two nights and we were very impressed with the hotel. It was our first time staying at this Premier inn; we have stayed in many around the country. I must say this is one of the best we have stayed in. The staff were extremely helpful and our room was spotless. Special thanks to Hazel in the restaurant who was extremely welcoming and professional in approach each morning. Our breakfasts were excellent. We ate in the restaurant one evening and the meal and cocktails were very good. We will certainly return. Thank you.

Very happy with overall experience, cleanliness and general friendliness
Pros:

We were very happy with the double room we had. Our other members of family had a family room. The cleanliness was very good, Tea and coffee making facilities were available in the room and more was easily obtained by reception. A clean shower, a TV with lots of channels, a hairdryer supplied also. Plenty of sockets for chargers and we had a sea view. Breakfast was included and it was good value. You could have as much as you wanted, as many times as you wanted. There was continental, fried, cereals , and bottomless tea, coffee, fruit juices. Everyone would find something to eat. Reception staff very attentive and polite Highly recommended.

Two night stay
Pros:

I stayed for two nights when in the area for work. One night I ate in and one night I ate out. The meal in is reviewed under the BeafEater.

The room was disappointingly on the first floor and had a semi car park view. I say semi as the roof of the BeafEater interrupted the car park view.

The room was a good size and without the normal single bed, just a chair instead. It could have done with a suitcase rack.

The room was a good temperature with working aircon. The sleep was good too. The bathroom was a modern shower only but the shower wasn’t bad. A soak in a bath would have been nice though.

I’ve stayed here a few times over the years. I think I’ll try something new next time.

Not a room with a view
Pros:

I booked this room as a stopover before making our way to Potters Resort Hopton-On-Sea. The accommodation itself is quite comfortable and accessible. The views from the room are not what you’d expect. It appears to be a dumping ground for the fair attraction next door. The Beefeater restaurant attracted to the hotel was very busy the night we went. The servers were very busy but did their best and were friendly.

Great Yarmouth premier inn
Pros:

Hotel was lovely however the Beefeater was a different story.
Very Disappointing Experience

Visited for Sunday lunch and was thoroughly disappointed. The food was poor quality and definitely not worth the money. Breakfast the next morning wasn’t any better — the cleanliness of the dining area was shocking. There was food on the floor, and we had to ask staff to clean it up.

What’s worse, the hygiene practices were unacceptable. A waitress was cleaning tables, then handling dirty dishes without gloves, and immediately serving food to other guests. Absolutely disgusting and a serious health concern. Would not recommend.

Bad nights sleep!
Pros:

One of the main problems we had during our stay was the heat in the room. The air con would only go down to 19, which was not cold enough for a good nights sleep. I did ask the question at Reception, but their reply was 'It only goes down to 19'! Nothing more. Don't forget the windows do not open! Our other gripe was the lack of storage. There was not one drawer in our room (220), and limited hanging space. We stayed for 4 nights, so had to live out of our suitcases.

Excellent location, but cleaning needs improvement.
Pros:

Excellent location, nice atmosphere, but room needed thorough cleaning, especially the carpet, around the coffee machine area and the bathroom.

A 5 star premier inn for others to take note of
Pros:

Stayed at this premier inn back in July and i would like to say what a pleasant experience it was . Room was very good with a sea view and very quiet.
Booked in for evening meal and breakfast and although they were very short of staff those that were there did there job really well. Evening meal was lovely and breakfast was also very good

Cleanliness issue
Pros:

Room/hotel looked modern with a great view. Unfortunately the room itself was not clean, with marks under the desk, on the wall, on the tea tray and mould in the shower.

Excellent Hotel for a Short Break
Pros:

First stay at this hotel and will stay here again when next in the area.
Room excellent especially stunning shower and comfy bed. Great view of the sea from the room , which you do pay an extra £5 for, but worth it. Easy access to beach from hotel, which was great.
Due to location there are not any restaurants within walking distance , therefore you either go to Beefeater in hotel , get a taxi or risk losing your free parking space.
We decided to choose Beefeater meal deal. Evening meal was disappointing, breakfast was excellent.
I cannot fault the hotel and would stay here again but perhaps Premier Inn should give more alternatives for customers, e,g, list of takeaways/restaurants close to hotel , than Beefeater as the evening meal was the only thing that let down our stay.

Won't be rushing for a return visit
Pros:

We had premier room with sea view for 4 nights. Room was good and sea view was lovely to have but obviously paid extra for that.
We paid in advance for meal deals with the attached Beefeater which includes dinner and breakfast. Definitely got the impression you are second class diners if you have the meal deal so avoid unless no other option.

Unhappy
Pros:

I returned as we had a really good experience 2 years ago. I am disabled so need an accessible room, so an accessible room was asked for. The room was not that way. Thankfully I did not need my wheelchair as I would not have been able to get around the room as there was no room to move I was nearly able to use my walker. The bathroom had a narrow bath with a shower and curtain, no anti slip mats. I felt very unsafe.
