Not reliable with interconnecting room booking
We booked adjoining rooms for our family at Burton on Trent central hotel We booked 9 months before our stay We checked in and discovered that the rooms are not adjoining Reception were pleasant but unable to help I cannot cancel the second room as we ve already checked in Reception directed us to an online form where the response time is 10 days Not good enough We ve had no problems with premier inn in the past but would warn against people booking adjoining rooms with them after this experience

Terrible- poor customer relations
A 20 minute wait for the lift Room freezing cold We tried to up the temperature in the room The room operating system was simple to operate but was blocked by maintenance ie Users have to call maintenance and wait 20 minutes and another 15 minutes Spoke to duty Manager Hugo at Premier Inn Gatwick We told him our situation ie Early flight very upset needed to rest - his reply was well if customers can t operate the heating system and they have to call maintenance they will have to wait until the room heats up my husband said how are you going to compensate us for this He said I have the mandate to do so but I m not going to because it s now fixed even though we we re both stressed and had to wait for at least 2 hours without rest The duty manager Hugo tried to tell my husband that if customers couldn t operate the heating system they will have to wait My husband being a Captain at sea for 10 years - cannot operate a heating control When I went to the reception to complain the receptionist told me it was the fault of the previous customers requesting a cold room Hmm I would advise anyone using this chain to check in 2 hours before you need to sleep so that you can sort out the heating system for the hotel As for the duty manager s attitude- all he said was thanks for the feedback Could he have sent a couple of hot chocolates up He wasn t prepared to do anything We will certainly not sleep well How can we when we are exhausted fed up and upset All the advertisements in the world isn t any good if you don t have any customer service at the hotel

Premier Inn Edinburgh Waverley Hotel WORST Experience
Premier Inn Edinburgh Waverley Hotel 4th - 9th September staying in an accessible room This was my 4th Premier Inn stay in Edinburgh lots of other Premier Inns in UK First time at this one Staff not friendly at all having pre booked the meal deal and advised meal times as requested Each time at breakfast evening meal was asked if I had been there before and they couldn t find me on the list On the first morning the girl at breakfast said if I need any help just ask I said I might need help as difficult to carry a plate with my walking stick her reply was to shrug her shoulders and walk away Evening meals - less than helpful advised them an item was missing from plate - sorry and walked away sadly this wasn t the only disappointment in the lack of customer care in the restaurant When leaving with my suitcase the girl at the desk ignored me so I put my key card in the box There seemed to be lots of different staff there I wrote separately to Premier Inn re my experiences acknowledgement dated 16 9 with no reply Lenny said rest assured we will get back to you in 7-10 days New message no longer Lenny but a female saying now 28 days I hope they record my telephone calls to hear what was actually said in my original phone call This Hotel and the staff they employ do not care about their customers Shame as it is in an ideal location Premier Inn has always been my first choice of Hotel

Premier Inn Westbourne Bournemouth Not a good greeting at reception we arrived 10 mins early and was told quite abruptly if you want an early check in then its 10 The room was very very small and dark and in need of a referb if you were in the room you had to get on the bed as there was just no room there was mould in the shower We only stayed 2 nights which was more than enough so would nt book this hotel again

Booked to stay with these muppets in
Booked to stay with these muppets in August The day before we were due to arrive having booked activities whilst staying there and unable to cancel they emailed to state the hotel was having issues and our booking was refunded - Why not transfer us to an alternative location nearby or hold our money to transfer us Instead the refund took 5 days and we had to outlay the funds again to stay locally 5 mins away Similarly due to travel again and we receive an email saying due to maintenance work the restaurant is now closed but they are happy for us to travel to the next nearest one and honour our breakfast reservations - Again why not just transfer us as a whole to the nearest one - I presume you wont be paying the mileage or for our inconvenience This company is a shower of the proverbial at customer relations Frankly they should be embarrassed and seriously consider how to run a chain of businesses

Incommunicado
My problem is an inability to get in touch I was unable to get to the St Pancras branch where I-had booked one night and breakfast You might have noticed that there was a major storm which disrupted travel plans I tried to phone but no joy there Then I tried the website and manage my booking but that didn t work as the date had passed by this time The phone lines are 9-5 and you hang on for ever even if you can manage to phone between those very restrictive hours Can someone please help so I can explain why I didn t arrive and at least perhaps get a refund on my pre paid breakfast
