Great hotel
Pros:

We use this hotel often when going to The Curve Theatre. We had a Premier Plus room which was very comfortable and clean. The staff on reception were very welcoming and helpful. We will use again.

Delicious evening meal - can't wait to go back
Pros:

Honestly so nice. The restaurant was warm and comfortable on what was a wet cold and dark night. The fish and chips were the best I've had for a long time. Fresh fish - and piping hot. Dessert was the banoffee cheesecake - utterly delicious. Nadine and Jaz looked after us beautifully - thank you so much.

Good value and high standard as expected from Premier Inn
Pros:

Stopover en route from Southampton. No lift but given ground floor room on arrival due to problem with using stairs by the pleasant receptionist. Usual high standard with a spotless room and bathroom. Excellent breakfast! No complaints other than a hiccup with gaining the right access road off the dual carriageway due to my Sat Nav!

Very poor hotel
Pros:

When we arrived we were greated by both lifts dripping water with buckets to pick up the dripping water. We were told they were safe to use but had to play dodge the water to enter as it was coming through at a speed.
The room was dated and needs an overhall. The tap on my shower would not turn off and while i reported it, it was not fixed during my stay.
The bar was porely manned and shutters were pulled down after each time you could find a member of staff to get you a drink. The fact they felt the need to do this did not make us feel this was a safe place to stay.
We were them told the kitchen was closed until further notice and that we would not get the breakfast we paid for as the kitchen had flooded.
The staff were brilliant but in my mind this hotel is not safe and should be shut until major works are completed. I recommend you avoid this hotel at all costs as its not a safe place to be

Nice overnight stop
Pros:

Nice comfortable room, slept well and found the room clean and tidy.
The food deal.worked well and the evening meal was very nice indeed.
Breakfast was a good with a nice selection of foods to choose from. Did feel they could do with one more staff member as the drink and food wasn't refilled that quickly but overall it was fine
Would recommend and will use again

Shocking and unsafe
Pros:

I don’t think I had stayed in a worse hotel for a long time.
The lifts were unsafe with rainwater dripping across the lift doors for both lifts.
Halfway through the evening they closed the kitchens and informed that breakfast wouldn’t be available until further notice
And then when we got back in from our evening out, there was a sex worker in the lifts giving a man some pleasure.
It was scary and very unpleasant

Faultless.
Pros:

Excellent stay, friendly, courteous and welcoming staff. Very clean, tidy and comfortable room. Excellent breakfast served by Rutva and Yazid who could not do enough for you and very friendly (whom Premier Inn should hold on to at all costs!).
Faultless experience.

Relaxing mini break.
Pros:

Great location for both travelling by train and car. Good location, reasonably quiet for a city centre but within a short walk of shops, bars and restaurants. Lovely staff, everyone was incredibly helpful and went over and above to make our stay relaxing and enjoyable.

A night away to watch river dance , enjoy a walk round town , a meal in a pub and have a few drinks before heading back
Pros:

It is probably one of the worst premier inns in the country, room was shabby, breakfast inedible and staff rude when approached.

Amazing!
Pros:

All of the staff were amazing. Truly lovely people. Let’s not forget the chefs who make the lovely food too. Paula, who took my breakfast order made sure I was looked after. She couldn’t do enough to make sure I was ok, well fed. She is a truly amazing person. Thank you to all the staff who made my experience a 5* one.
