Pros:

Arrivée à la borne,ma réservation introuvable avec mon nom,et ils demandent un code postal qui ne fonctionne pas

Chambre sale,pas de passage de femme de ménage pendant 4 jours,odeur de tabac le deuxième jour.
Chauffage réglé sur la Clim en arrivant,mon mari est tombé malade
Et je soupçonne le vol dans notre chambre d’argent liquide et de carte de transport.
Un autre couple d’ami s’est fait volé de l’argent également ainsi que le portefeuille de leur fille

Pros:

El hotel no cumplió mis expectativas, por qué Yo había contratado una habitación para cuatro y me encontré con una habitación para tres en tres días no nos hicieron la habitación el personal del no quiso ni hizo esfuerzo por entender. El Suelo del hotel estaba pegajoso
La única persona que estuvo muy atenta fue una chica de recepción que hizo por entendernos y nos solucionó los problemas

Amazing stay, great staff
Pros:

We stayed to attend an event in the city and Premier Inn was so handy being only a short walk to the city centre. We arrived prior to the check in time and the girl on reception was super pleasant and offered us early check-in at a cost of €15 or storage for our bags, as we were not in a rush at that point we decided to leave our bags and after a drink go and explore for a while. The bar was lovely and bright and the young man behind it was extremely friendly and gave us great advise on bars to go to after our event ends
Breakfast was very tasty and the team were very approachable

Avoid
Pros:

We use premier inn whenever we can. Staff, cleanliness and of course the mattresses. This time was a mistake. Some staff members stand out as great: Paidraigh who booked us in, and a Spanish staff-member whose name I don’t know. Beyond booking in, it was a truly horrible experience.

🌟 Excellent Stay – Outstanding Service from Duty Manager Rashme ❤️
Pros:

I recently stayed at the Croydon Town Centre Premier Inn, and I want to share the wonderful experience I had during check-in. I arrived feeling extremely stressed and tired, but Duty Manager Rashme completely turned my day around.

✨ First of all, Rashme is an absolute superstar for Premier Inn!
Credit to the management she was literally everywhere: helping in the restaurant, supporting housekeeping, assisting at reception… wow! 👏 She’s a true diamond for the company 💎 and represents the brand with pride and passion.
She welcomed me with a beautiful smile 😊, and with her incredibly kind nature, she delivered excellent customer service from the very start. Her sweet, gentle way of speaking and her naturally shy, caring personality instantly made me feel comfortable. It’s hard to explain how much her warm attitude meant to me at that moment she genuinely lifted my mood and made my entire day brighter. ❤️❤️❤️
It’s rare to meet someone whose positive energy leaves such a lasting impression. Premier Inn is truly lucky to have such a responsible, kind, and dedicated manager on their team. I sincerely appreciate her effort, professionalism, and the heartfelt way she interacts with guests.

🌸 Thank you, Rashme, for making my stay so lovely.
🌟 Highly recommended! ❤️❤️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Shining Gem in Croydon – and Teresa is the Superstar ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Pros:

I had the absolute pleasure of staying at Premier Inn Croydon throughout October and November, and I just have to say – this hotel truly became a home away from home.

From the moment I arrived, the team were warm, welcoming and genuinely caring. The rooms were clean, comfortable and peaceful, and I always felt safe any time I needed help, the staff were kind, patient and happy to assist.

But I have to give a very special shout-out to Teresa. ✨
She is, without a doubt, the superstar of Premier Inn Croydon.

Teresa’s kindness, warmth made such a difference to my stay. She doesn’t just do her job – she goes above and beyond, and you can really feel that she cares about the guests. Her smile, energy and reassuring presence brightened even the tougher days.

Please know that we are officially part of Teresa’s fan club now! 💜lol
And I hope that every time she reads this review, it makes her smile and reminds her of my smile ;) I might come in for breakfast again to count up for the days I missed haha.

To all the staff at Premier Inn Croydon – thank you for being amazing. To Teresa thank you for being unforgettable.

I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Croydon 🌟

City Centre base camp
Pros:

Great city centre location and off a main road. Bars, restaurants and attractions all within a short walk. Public transport is really cheap if you want to go further afield.
Friendly staff and generally a quiet but pleasant feel in bar/reception area. Room was a good size and the rain shower was a pleasant surprise. My room was facing inwards so really quiet (but wonder if the courtyard might get busy in summer months)?
Not the cheapest I’ve ever stayed in but was competitive with other local hotels and travelling solo is always more expensive. Buffet breakfast was good value.
Overall you know what to expect with Premier Inn and I was very happy with this stay.

Great location for train station, but rubbish service and customer care is non existent.
Pros:

We had been emailed by Premier inn to say that the lift had limited access which we thought we might have to wait for a lift. Actually there was no working lift at all.
Being elderly and waiting for a knee replacement far from ideal.
No heating in the rooms at all the heating control was dead and the staff just said it was a glitch in the system. We companied every morning and every even but no offer of a portable heater etc, staff didn't care despite it being the coldest days of the year (17-20th Nov).
On the Wednesday night at 9.00pm we went into the bar /restaurant for a drink to be told by a girl near the bar that the bar was closed, they were short staffed and with that she disappeared slamming the door behind her.
The two good points was the location, 2 minutes to the station and the breakfasts.
I actually asked one member of staff if they were shutting/ closing down as I have never experienced such awful customer care in such a big chain.

Lots of trouble getting room key to work
Pros:

Very frustrating experience. We arrived very tired at 11:30pm on Friday, used the self-service check-in machine to create a room key, then headed to our room on the 4th floor, but the key didn't work. Went back down to reception and found a staff member who tried again to create a key, but after going back to 4th floor it still didn't work. Staff member let us into the room with his key and said to resolve it in the morning.

Next day the key still didn't work, so I asked another staff member. Again they created a new key, but again it still didn't work. They sent another staff member to let us into the room and said a maintenance man 'might' come and fix the door, otherwise they would switch our room. At midday on Saturday the key started working, although nobody had informed us that anything had been fixed.

All in all a very frustrating experience which caused us a lot of headaches and delays to our trip.
