Not up to the usual standard
Pros:

The reception staff were very welcoming and helpful and the hotel was clean. However it was noisy with other guests coming and going and the room was very gloomy as only 2 of the ceiling bulbs worked and the bedside lights were very dim . The usb charge point was broken.

Friendly staff
Pros:

We didn't stay, but I popped in to find out how much it would cost for some family to stay over the Xmas period. Some friends recommend this hotel and thought we would pop in and ask.
Megan on reception was very helpful.

Not the best experience.
Pros:

The good points were that the staff were really friendly and the room was very clean. The bad part was the walls are very thin and I could hear the conversations clearly from both the adjoining rooms late at night, which affected my sleep considerably. Additionally, the toilet began making loud noises by itself early each morning around 6:30. I recorded the noises it was making, as they didn't stop until I got up and flushed the toilet, and then about 5 minutes later, the noise started again. I informed the reception and they said that it would be fixed on the first day of my stay. It was not fixed whilst I was staying there. I have stayed a few Premier Inns and have always been happy with my stay but unforuately I will be thinking very carefully before I book in one again.

A little disappointing, never had problems here in the past
Pros:

We have stayed many times at this hotel when visiting family. This time was disappointing, which we discussed with reception.
The room smelt damp, the bed sheets on the sofa bed had mould spots on, there were damp patches on the walls and the carpet smelt damp. We highlighted it as we wondered if there was a leak in the bathroom that has gone unnoticed for some time - it felt like the room hadn’t been used for a while (was a bit dusty and cobwebs on the ceiling, though it was the night after Halloween I don’t think they were intended to be spooky!).
Reception were very pleasant when we highlighted the problems although it was on our check out. We are due to stay over the Xmas period and if we were placed in this room or one similar it would feel like Xmas is spoiled.
A few issues to be addressed, but I am also aware it’s about 10 years since the last refurb- it’s got to be due again imminently.

Good stopover
Pros:

A large Premier Inn close to Basingstoke, next to a Beefeater, cinema, ice rink and other leisure activities. Lots of stairs and long corridors to our room, so ask for something closer to reception if you have mobility issues; there is no lift. Staff were lovely. The room was fine, a little noisy at times, but ok.

*5 stay
Pros:

Stayed at the premier inn Basingstoke West a week ago with my son whilst visiting family in the area.
Check in was easy and the staff were really welcoming. They told my son about the ice rink near by which of course we visited and they booked us in for breakfast the next morning and also aloud my family to join us.
Our room was spotless and everything we needed was available even an extra pillow which I requested.
Breakfast the next morning was spot on as my son eats so much there was alot to choose from and the staff again were friendly and helpful. The hotel manager (I think called jason) stopped and spoke to us and asked how our stay was he took time to speak to my child which was nice and said if there's anything we need to just ask him. Not very often you get to see the manager in hotels, very professional and polite.
We had a lovely stay and when I visit in the future il be sure to book into this hotel again.

Wouldn't stay there again.
Pros:

You can hear people from the floor above., walking around. This unfortunately woke me up on the first morning at 6:50 am. The nose went on for ages.
I did go to reception and enquire if the same people would be there for my next morning I was assured they wouldn't but the next morning I again heard really creaky floorboards again early in the morning, for a while.
The restaurant food wasn't very nice. Dry chewy ribs.
The staff at the hotel and restaurant were friendly however.

Cold Breakfast
Pros:

The reception was very clean and bright, staff very nice. Our room was on the back,really dark and depressing.
The food at the restaurant next door was ok the evening we arrived, but the breakfast at 8.30am was very sparse and all cold. I did mention it to a waitress and she apologised, the restaurant was cold also.
