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!

Last time at a Prem Inn
Pros:

I've spent some money in PI's in the past. I liked their attitude, the beds are always comfortable, there's a level of OK about them.

Arriving at the hotel, it was disheartening to see i was next to a demolition site, literally just piles of brick and rubble.

This time, I was charged £15 to check in at 2pm instead of 3, even though the room was ready. It was the same room, they didn't have to do anything to warranty the additional cost, it's just greed. This new approach is a bad colour on the company.

AFTER I was charged the fee and given my key, I was then told the heating was broken so there was a portable heater in my room. It was end of November in Manchester, so the cold and miserable rain were significant. It took hours to heat that big room up with a miniature portable radiator.

Really bad experience, definitely switched me from PI being one of the first places I'd aim to stay, to only staying if I can't find anywhere else.

Old but Ok
Pros:

Stayed with some friend celebrating my Birthday. Compared with other premier inns that I have been this is a little in the old fashion site but it was clean and had a lovely staff asking us all the time if everything was fine. No too much spare to park the car in front the hotel but more avalible next to the pub.

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.

Exceeded Expectations
Pros:

Staying at a budget hotel in Margate, my expectations were somewhat measured. However after leaving today I can honestly say I was pleasantly surprised.

I will definitely be returning to this hotel.

Staff were attentive, friendly and always available.

Food was nice and tasty

Room was clean, spacious and well maintained

Overall very happy.

Worst stay ever
Pros:

Having used Premier Inn as my go to hotel, this one is deeply disappointing. Please if you get room 101 ask for another room. This hotel is tired, I actually do not know how it is a premier inn. Paper thin walls, we could hear the noisy next door neighbours use the toilet, walking about their room, in and out of their room, honestly the worst experience ever. Just back and honestly had the worst sleep due to being beside the main corridor doors. Our room had curtains hanging off window, bedside light not working, the skimpiest shower curtain . To top it off after having very little sleep I go for a shower and only 1 bath towel provided when there is two guests. When I checked in the night before there was a man at reception stating this also, I did not think to check that night. Wish I had.. so as you have probably guessed I will not be back.

Back for another stay.
Pros:

Great value for money hotel. Very good location for access both into and around Manchester. Easy to find. Rooms clean, tidy and well equipped. Very quiet overnight even when the hotel is very busy. We had stayed in the hotel in April and in exactly the same room. Obviously maintenance is high on Premier Inn's priorities as the room had a few minor cosmetic issues back in April which had been remedied by the time we returned - always a good sign. Will definitely be back again.

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.

no ev chargers
Pros:

typical Premier Inn, you know what you are getting. Was very disappointed there are no EV chargers in the large, free, car park where at least 10 EV 's were parked.

Fantastic receptionist, Rosie.
Pros:

We had an uncertain length of stay due to husband being in hospital. We had booked the full week but one night in the middle we would have to move to another hotel , not ideal. Rosie understood the problem, called when we were out for dinner before going into hospital and said they had a cancellation and she would hold it for us. On our return she put that cancellation into our name, she also ensured the whole stay was in the same room.
A difficult stay was made so much easier with the help and positive attitude of Rosie. I hope the manager takes note of this and gives her the credit as it is due. Thank you Rosie for making our stay so much easier.

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.
