Staff
Pros:

On arrival, we went into the beefeater for evening meal and I couldn’t help overhearing the waitress talking to guests on the table behind me how she acted how she presented herself and how she gave options. It made my head turn. I thought oh my God quality staff
When she came to address me and my daughter it was the same very helpful giving us options and even offered us a 25% off our next meal her name was stef and she is a credit to your team and a figure head for others to learn from 😉
Moving on to breakfast Sandra was over run nearly bumped into her twice I said to her you need help she agreed and her order taking was good also because a lot of workers leave early I feel she needed back up but on the hole rooms are as usual spot on and the two meals where very nice good chefs made me 3 perfect pouched eggs runny with no snot and my Daugther’s 3 pouched eggs where spot on❤️
And I like the fax the it’s not a buffet and made to order cuts down on waist and is freshly prepared and not dried out under heat lamps
Look after your staff and they will look after the company 😉

No Glasses in Room.
Pros:

We had a comfortable stay in room 101 in Bispham, overall the room was comfortable. However, there wasn`t any glasses in the room and only 1 bedside table, when I went to reception to ask for glasses it was unattended so had to make do with using the mugs. Apart from that we had a nice stay and would recommend Premier Inn Bispham.

Luxury at a Budget price
Pros:

I stayed on a premium room for an extra £10. You get a coffee machine, luxury toiletries, bigger space, fridge with water, dressing table area etc. was worth every penny. The artwork from a charity on the walls was a nice touch as was the mood lighting. Beautifully hot shower and a comfy bed. The mini bar of chocolate was cute too.
I will book here again for sure.

ideal location and a tidy hotel
Pros:

This Premier Inn is an ideal location for the centre of Bournemouth and use of BIC. Plenty of parking below the hotel and for a good price of £10 for 24 hours. The reception staff were there to greet us and book us in. They were friendly.. The room itself was a good good size was really clean. Bed was comfortable and we will also provided extra pillows.. The bathroom was clean and spacious. We had breakfast the following morning we greeted by a very welcoming member of staff. The breakfast was good value for the price, although the bacon could be improved. Overall, we were really impressed with this hotel and will definitely use it again when visiting for an evening out

Good
Pros:

We received a lovely welcome, booked in and soon found our room. It was exceptionally clean, spacious, tea and coffee making facilities, tv and a large bathroom with a bath.

As we were using the room to sleep only we chose a standard room and it was more than we were expecting. We did get a really good night sleep and overslept on 2 occasions. Yes, the bed was that comfy.

Love the cleanliness, the space and the location. Highly recommend

Comfortable and clean, but clinical compared to other Premier Inns
Pros:

Comfortable and clean rooms as you'd expect from Premier Inn, but rather clinical compared to other Premier Inns we've stayed at. Check in was via computer terminal, staff thin on the ground. Car parking expensive. We used to stay at another Premier Inn in the east of Bournemouth, now sadly sold off, which had free parking and a warm and friendly atmosphere. We didn't quite get the same feeling at West Cliff.

Best Premier Inn for miles
Pros:

We have stayed here many times and regard it as the best Premier Inn in the area and one of the best in the country. Everything works and the rooms are generously proportioned. It is fairly new so it is all in good order. Staff are helpful. Rooms are very clean. Restaurant area is pleasant. We will keep on coming back.

Mini break in Bournemouth
Pros:

I had a great stay at the Premier Inn in Bournemouth! The double bed was really comfy and made for a great night’s sleep after busy days out. The full English breakfast was lovely each morning — tasty, fresh, and a great start to the day. I used the hotel as my base for four days for my bike touring of the new forest, and it was perfect — clean, convenient, and comfortable. Would definitely stay again!

Requires refurbishing
Pros:

Hotel requires refurbishing. On arrival, hall way carpet is stained and looks old/dirty. Room is cold. Heating not working. WiFi in the building is only 1 bar or not even loading. Had to pay 5 pounds to assess. Bathroom tub has too much old dark stains. Need refurbishing. Pillows are flat. Requested for extra chair as we were on a business meeting . This was declined. Staff were not friendly. No swimming pool nor gym. I will never go back to this hotel.
But there is a good car park.

Overpriced and poor value for money
Pros:

At £233 (which is what I paid) for a plus room with breakfast) it was expensive and poor value. It's not remotely worth paying for a "plus" room. I had a devil of a time getting the so-called "ultimate" WIFI to work. The process is way too over-complicated. It is included in the "plus room" option but is essential because the free WIFI isn't viable. There's no bar in the hotel which is ridculous given the price I paid. The staff are nice and do what they can within the highly governed regime. Breakfast was okay for £11 but not great. The only alternative milk to dairy was soy which I don't care for. No oat milk! And although I told them I was vegan I was NOT offered the vegan sausages which apparently they do have.

Excellent stay during Pickleball weekend!
Pros:

Stayed overnight visiting relatives. Stayed in a really clean room on the first floor. The staff here were super-friendly, especially Jill on breakfast duty who told us all about a local Pickleball event! Really good Premier Inn- would recommend 100%
