Lovely evening in the bar at Premier Inn
Pros:

We spent an evening here after visiting the Winchester Christmas Market. We had a lovely evening in the restaurant, looked after by Shanon/Raj and Bushra - thank you very much for the detail of your service, and for laughing at our conversations (sorry Shanon) you guys are a great team, we thoroughly enjoyed our time with you. We were planning to head into the town later in the evening, but we were so relaxed, we stayed in the bar! Lovely day/night away.

Worst premier inn I’ve stayed in.
Pros:

Our room was dirty, there were crumbs in the bed. Mould around the bath. There was a horrible damp smell in the corridor outside the rooms. Check in took ages as only one person on and long queues. Disabled space out of use due to a hedge needing cutting back.

Acceptable Premier Inn
Pros:

Stayed here following a disappointing stay in Salisbury.
No issues here- room was clean and as expected for a Premier Inn.
Service in the restaurant was satisfactory and the food was ok. This is why it's a 4 and not a 5.
Should be able to pay parking in reception- the car park was dark upon arrival a we could not find the machine. Needed to go back to the car park after check in to register the car. A minor issue but nonetheless worth mentioning.

Same old Premier Inn
Pros:

Yet again Premier Inn continues to get worse and worse. I always spare a thought for the team. They are always rushed off their feet and there are never enough of them. My stay at PI Winchester was no exception. Most of the team were nice but they were ran ragged. Over the last decade every Premier Inn I’ve stayed at has had less staff and it’s so clear how far away they’ve moved from caring about the guest and providing great service.

Absolutely horrendous, I hope I never have to go through it again!
Pros:

Stayed there with the group of 8, there was just one disappointment after the other but in short, they tell you on the phone parking is free for guests - it isn't. I asked the lady at the reception if the breakfast was included in the rate, she said it was - it wasn't. And here I am now, three weeks after, still chasing for the invoices they were meant to go to my e-mail but, you guessed it, they haven't.

Matt - review
Pros:

I recently stayed at the Premier Inn and had an excellent experience from start to finish. The room was spotless, comfortable, and surprisingly quiet, making it easy to get a great night’s sleep. The location was convenient, and everything I needed was just a short walk away.

I especially want to highlight Matt, who went above and beyond during my stay. He was friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful—whether it was answering questions, offering recommendations, or just greeting guests with genuine warmth. It’s rare to find staff who make you feel truly looked after, and Matt absolutely did.

Thanks to Matt and the rest of the team for making my stay memorable. I’ll definitely be choosing Premier Inn again!

Good location, great staff
Pros:

Stayed here for 11 nights whilst in the area for work. The hotel overall is a little dated, but the room was clean, bed comfy and shower hot. The real stand out was the staff, Matt in particular. At times he seemed to be running the place single handedly, often covering reception, kitchen, restaurant and bar at the same. However nothing was too much trouble, he always had a smile and time for a chat which made the difference after a hard day at work. The food was delicious, plenty of choice and good value. Would stay here again.

Premier Inn good , restaurant not
Pros:

No problem with the actual Premier Inn , very comfortable and quiet . I can't say the same for the restaurant next door !
Waited ages for our meals then.got our starters and mains delivered all together ! When I queried this . I was told that's what I had asked for
I did not ,and the starter was cold . My sirloin steak was overcooked when I had asked for medium . Nobody came to the table to ask if our meal was ok . I got up to find the manager who did apologise and only said that they would make sure all was ok at breakfast ! Hard not to do when it is self service ! Will.not be back !

MATT WILL MAKE YOUR STAY!!!
Pros:

Matt! What can I say, he's incredible. Wonderful welcoming host, really went the extra mile. From the moment we checked in, his presence was delightful. So friendly, funny yet professional. Full of helpful information for the local area - from shopping outlets to best fast food places in the area!! I think he's the manager - if not he should be!!!

Using only if every other hotel in the area is fully booked
Pros:

Terrible customer service. I have to book hotels for some team members in my company and I always try to avoid Premier Inn, because I know their customer service is some of the worst I even encounter. I book on their hotels only when nothing else is available. One day, they didn't have hot breakfast although we paid for it. They apologised, they promised a refund, a free breakfast and a meal on the next stay... they gave us nothing. They don't answer the phone, they don't answer emails, the Business Account with 'preferencial service' is a joke.

Very basic-
Pros:

Stayed for two nights whilst visiting the area. The location is good but hotel is very run down. The car park was full of contractors vans . Out side reception and the entrance to the annexe block there were people hanging around smoking and felt like they lived there. Hotel is probably being used for temporary accommodation. Didn’t feel very safe . The breakfast was horrendous. Cold, only instant coffee as the machine was out of order.Cancelled breakfast after first day as the restaurant area was dirty and run down. Wouldn’t recommend as a family hotel to stay in .

Great stay
Pros:

Excellent stay with my son to visit family and friends . Wifi could of been much better, but everything else was great, clean and spotless, staff friendly and helpful, in the hotel and in the eating area. We will be back. One thing I would say is the price of the breakfast could very lower
