Guest Reviews
- Librarianne (8/5): Enjoyable stay - We’ve just returned from a three night stay at this hotel, and we really enjoyed it. I had asked in advance for a quiet room on the first floor, and thats exactly what we got. Yes, the room could do with an upgrade. There is a lack of electric sockets, including usb ports, the wall mounted heater was a bit rusty, as were a couple of the bathroom fittings, but overall we were very comfortable. Breakfast in ‘The Social’ was up to the usual standards, with the hot offering cooked to order, which is always better than buffet style. However, the overwhelming take away from our stay is how lovely the staff are. They are so friendly and helpful and a big asset to Premier Inn. Izzy in particular made our stay, and she deserves a special award. We will return.
- andylY1395VT (2/5): Bathroom wasn't clean...... - The toilet had not been clean d as there was hairs and urine stains around the rim and back of the toilet. The coffee mugs were stained and there was a stain in the quilt cover.
- lm259 (10/5): Great venue, great staff - Spent 4 nights with elderly parents in adjoining rooms- Ellie on the staff was super helpful ahead of our stay and showed me around the rooms to ensure they were suitable for needs. Staff really pleasant and helpful through the 4 days. Rooms clean and warm and had everything we needed. The location was great for what we wanted to do.
- 924anjut (4/5): Freezing room and painful pillows. - I am writing to express my disappointment with my stay at your hotel yesterday. Unfortunately, several issues impacted the comfort and quality of my visit.
Firstly, the thermostat in my room was not functioning properly. Each time we set it to maintain a comfortable temperature, it would reset itself and switch off. As a result, we woke up to an extremely cold room, which made the night very unpleasant.
In addition, the pillows provided were extremely uncomfortable and left me with significant neck pain the following morning. This added further discomfort to an already difficult night’s sleep.
I am bringing these concerns to your attention in the hope that they can be addressed promptly, both for future guests and in consideration of the experience I had during my stay.
Thank you for taking the time to review my feedback. I would appreciate a response regarding how this matter will be resolved.
- neilhB4856QE (10/5): Great Premier Inn - Of all the hotels I've stayed in, this particular hotel was one of the cleanest and well maintained hotels I've been in. Great example of a Premier Inn at it's finest. The hotel colleagues were very welcoming and helpful. Great facilities. I can recommend the mix grill and then the breakage in the morning. Well done
- RossB354 (10/5): Weekend Break - A great convenient place for visiting Whitstable. Lovely staff and a tasty breakfast.
There's a regular bus into town.
- U6798EXmarko (10/5): The Wi-Fi needs to be updated once in a while but the stuff the absolutely amazing I could I could never ask for a bette - Widnes premier Inn was very amazing the staff was very nice the room was amazing the bed was comfy it was very very quiet as well the staff was very helpful I would complain about was a Wi-Fi and the Wi-Fi still need to resetting once a week to the wife I got faster for the guests
- margaretd950 (10/5): Receptionist Jamie so very obliging and friendly - Spent Sunday night the 9th of November my husband and myself There was a double bed and a single divan. I have a back problem and preferred to sleep in the divan but it had no bedding.my husband went down to reception and explained situation. Jamie who was on reception went to different rooms gathered the appropriate bedding came to room made the bed from scratch sheet duvet pillows. He was so kind this young lad and very friendly. I feel he has to get a reward from his manager. Many Thanks Jamie.
- L690SFgeoffs (4/5): The evening meal was Not edible, - The Hotel was as usual Brilliant, The evening meal was Horrendous, It was our wedding Anniversary, my wife and myself was really Disappointed , The Food, Where do I start, The menu was very limited and Basic is an understatement, All microwaved, No Taste, we had one forkful and that was all we ate,, The poor staff were embarrassed removing our plates,
- Limeaway (10/5): Halloween treat no tricks. - Whitstable Harbour, great food, pubs shops and more is 30 mins walk from Whitstable Premier Inn, but a stay here is worth it! As is a sunset walk and supper stop off in Whitstable before a latish check in. A taxi up the hill to the hotel cost under £8.00.
The first floor corner room looked fresh and clean and the bed and pillows offered a good night’s sleep. The first floor room was near the floor’s access door which could be heard being used by other guests but the sounds were only slightly irritating.
The room came with a free breakfast deal and apparently some things were accidentally missing from the menu but plenty more was available if not vegan or vegetarian and hungry for mushrooms. Gluten free muesli and bread could be had. Tick.
Julia the restaurant manager, whom I’d seen on duty the night before, was there managing the breakfast with the same energy and grace. She is excellent and the reason for this review. A considerate employee and colleague I think. I commend all Premier Inn staff who seem to stay pleasant and polite despite frustrations from sometimes unreasonable guests.
- emmahU1947CD (10/5): Great stay with my family - Brilliant hotel, we stopped here after visting gullivers kingdom which was just a short drive.
room was massive! every staff member we came across were really friendly, Man on reception when we arrived (didnt catch his name) but he was really lovely.
Great location, kids loved it being right next to bowling at only £2 a game on a thursday night too!
Breakfast was good.
Would deffinatly stay again.
- M1588UQrachels (2/5): Mould and damp room - Room 11 smelt badly of damp and clear signs of mould growing by the window. Aggravated daughter's asthma. The room issue clearly needs to be resolved and not fit for habitation let alone as a family room. We had to stay in there as hotel was fully booked but staff did move us to another room when one was available. Staff were good but room needs to be addressed asap.usually have no problems with premier inns -this experience was a one off but still a very bad experience
- sharonwA9210EJ (10/5): Friendly staff - Lovely overnight stay, left it too late to book anywhere so was grateful for Premier Inn to be able to accommodate. While the location is not walking distance the taxi services are on hand, £5 only to get to the towns pubs and restaurants so really doesn’t make much of a difference to location. Staff are friendly especially the lovely Julia and Shatia who gave us a lovely bottle of wine for our anniversary. The breakfast was plentiful and hot and again the staff were very helpful.
Overall a lovely one night stay.
- lisasP7597YV (10/5): Great value for money stay - We had a great stay at the Premier Inn Whitstable. Good value for money. The staff were all very welcoming and managed to swap us to an accessible room once we realised the shower was over the bath. Breakfast in The Social was good value for money, the hot buffet items was replaced regularly along with the other items. Provided soya milk and gluten free toast on request. All the staff were very friendly and efficient.
- Number37 (10/5): Excellent value and a comfortable stay - We changed rooms as there was a problem with the ventilation and consequently there was quite an unpleasant smell in our allocated room. However, a pleasant young man in reception found us a different room which was clean and comfortable. He was also very helpful with directions.
I’d like to mention employee Izzy, who was handling an incredibly busy breakfast room on her own the following morning. She was cheerful and helpful throughout, even though she was being inundated with breakfast orders and having to clear and set tables on her own. I think someone came to help her towards the end of a very busy session.
All in all, a good night’s sleep in the wonderfully comfortable bed and a hearty breakfast the following morning. Excellent value.
- keithh310 (10/5): Comfortable stay - We stayed two nights in a large well presented room in a quiet location on the first floor. The room appeared to be freshly decorated. Car parking is adequate and well lit. Wi-fi worked and was reliable. The only downside is lack of any lighting at the site entrance which meant I overshot it on two occasions at night!!
- Linguist72 (10/5): Great place to stay in Widnes - We have stayed here a few times and never had a bad experience. The staff are always helpful and friendly.
It's a pleasure to stay here.
- suzannesO1553TJ (10/5): Comfortable stay - Have been stsying at the Pemier inn at Whitstable since it opened due to family living nearby. No complaints about friendliness of the staff,the rooms or the cleanliness of everywhere. Whe we have stayed before the food was provided by the Long Reach Beefeater next door. Excellent it was too,got to know the staff well. We were so sad to see that it was closed.
Food now provided at breakfast and evening in the Premier Inn,a much smaller restaurant, remember to book a time at the front desk. We had breakfast...excellant choice at 08.30. Evening meal we chose 18.30. Not a lot of choice, However all well cooked. Very short of staff, they seemed to be 'jack of all trades! Often leaving the restaurant to see to the front desk, and sometimes being the chef!
A very convenient bus stop 2 minutes away took us to Canterbury which saved the driving.
- B1606VHmarieb (8/5): Mixed Feelings - Friendly and genuine staff, room as you'd expect, free WiFi still not great. 'The Social' seemed empty most of the time and reminded us of a student common room, we much preferred the Beefeater which is now closed on the grounds .The entrance is full of pot holes with no lights and the old Beefeater sits empty in the darkness
- johnrC2758XW (8/5): First class service - Hotel is ideally located for local attractions and all staff were very welcoming and helpful, having stayed at many Premier Inns across the country the staff at this hotel were certainly up there with the best. Although the restaurant is small the breakfast was excellent and probably the best Premier breakfast we have had.All items were available and piping hot. With the restaurant being small it was much more pleasant and not crowded.
- philipg372 (10/5): Great hotel, Friendly and helpful staff - Great location near the supermarket, bowling alley, amusement arcade, cinema and shopping. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice comfy beds, and a clean room.
- GB_J074-Manda (10/5): Amazing staff especially (Dee) 😊 - We came to the Premiere Inn in Widnes to visit family in the surrounding area & our stay was amazing. We had such a good stay that we added 2 extra days in this hotel. 😊 All members of staff we seen were so lovely with us especially our first check in experience with the very lovely Dee, 😃 Dee was super nice with us and made us feel comfortable from our first step inside the hotel reception & this continued throughout our stay. Nothing was too much trouble & she even thought of things we didn’t realise we needed. We have even booked another stay at this supertastic hotel for December. Thanks to a great team & im sure this starts with great management. 😉
- JaneE857 (10/5): Conveniently located to explore Whitstable and surrounds - The Premier Inn Whitstable Hotel is conveniently located close to the town centre and a great base to explore Canterbury and the surrounding areas. We had breakfast both days and were very impressed with the selection of food available. The hot breakfast was replenished regularly , as were the pastries, breads etc. There was also a really good selection of tea, green and fruit teas available. My advice would be to book in the time you would like to have breakfast when you arrive as the restaurant area itself is fairly small.
Our room was comfortable and clean and there were two big fans in our room as the hotel has heating by no aircon.
The carpark gets busy but we managed to find a space on the two nights we stayed.
If you haven’t been to this hotel before you turn into car park for the disused pub called The Long Reach Tavern and drive passed it and the Premier Inn is on your left.
- 221ianw (10/5): Premier Service - Had to spend one night here,only 6 miles from home,due to some pipework being carried out on our house.
Can tell anyone staying here that it is central to both bridges over the River Mersey to get to North Wales or "The Wirral",on a retail park with plenty of big name shops and restaurants and entertainment venues.
Plenty of free parking space.
Having stayed in a fair few "Premier Inns"in the past,this one seems to have larger roomspace than the rest.Same cleanliness and facilities,comfy beds,nice bright bathroom,tea/coffee making facility,t.v.,desk,hanging space for clothes.
- Sightsee43369617944 (6/5): Not so good experience - I have used premier inn several times now around the country, this was by far the worst hotel yet, especially as the beefeater side of the restaurant was closed down and the so called in-house restaurant only had small selection of meals and had I have known this I would never have booked this hotel.
I also think that that the standard of the rooms has slipped, bathroom not very clean, bedroom looked a bit dingy, also we could hear the people in the room above moving around all the time.
- Explorer67672991642 (10/5): Welcoming - Welcoming staff, easy check in. Clean aired room. Clean sheets and towels. Good facilities. Comfortable bed, extra pillows if required. Good choices for breakfast. Enjoyed our 4 day stay.
- 777petef (2/5): Rooms were filthy and hot - We stayed at the Whitstable Premier Inn for two nights in August. The room was filthy there was old food on the floor, wrappers under the bed food stains on the bed. There was a stain which looked like dried blood or excrement on the sheets of one of the beds. The staff were all lovely and friendly and did come to change the sheets. I found my toddler with a bit of fried food in their mouth and they gave me an earing. It is not the consistent standard you expect of a Premier Inn. This Premier Inn does not air conditioning we were provided 2 fans but the room did not get below 27 degrees whilst we were there.
- bunnybabePisa (10/5): Great place - Spacious, clean, bright rooms with a modern decor. Close to train station and within walking distance to the centre. Ana and Krystyna on front desk were very friendly, efficient and helpful and always smiling. Lovely bar area and they even do a happy hour, great prices. Nice seating area outside too. Highly recommended.
- marcushA330RL (10/5): Premier Inn staff - I've now been here for 2 months and is as you would expect, clean and comfortable. All the reception staff are really helpful and welcoming but my standout receptionist is Adeeba, always pleasant and engaging, thank you.

- 387linzif (10/5): Amazing stay - Nice hotel , comfy beds with friendly staff, they go above and beyond, nothing is a problem.
Close to amenities, shopping, entertainment.
- Global31631429848 (10/5): Great staff - Had a really lovely time in Whitstable staff were brilliant, especially Edward and Alla. Great service super helpful and great with the kids. See you again soon.
- peckhamshell (10/5): Staff that are friendly and go beyond to make you feel welcome - Excellent service from Ella and Edward - just really friendly and helpful. Lovely breakfasts. The chef was also lovely and did the scrambled eggs on request for kids. Generally felt like all staff were kind - beds comfy and good value. The rooms are a bit hot but there are fans and we were all happy.
- B605NIjohnm (10/5): superb - been here many times at this premier inn just gets better each staff very pleasant on arrival and during our stay rooms very clean and tidy with comfortable beds
- 608charmaineh (10/5): Great Nights Sleep in Comfy Beds - We had a really lovely experience staying at the Premier Inn Widnes. The rooms were comfortable and we had a great nights sleep on both. Nights we stayed.
The facilities nearby are fantastic.
Highly recommend.
- P4691HUjaneth (8/5): Hotel great place to stay. - This hotel is a short walk from the station, but not a recommended walk in the torrential rain that was falling as we arrived in Wiesbaden! Sadly the taxi driver we got was extremely unhappy that we wanted to have such a short journey, and grossly over-charged us! But there was no way we were walking in that torrential rain, so we paid it!
The hotel is great - typical Premier Inn, but in Germany!
Sadly cos of the pouring rain we did not fancy going out to find somewhere to eat. Happily the hotel offers a fairly limited menu, so we decided to eat in. Sorry - cannot recommend this! We ordered soup and pizza (I actually wanted a club sandwich, but of the three sandwich choices only one was available!) It seemed to take ages for the food to come and when it did they brought the soup and pizza at the same time! The soup was delicious - the pizza not so much! Even the pizza cutter had difficulty cutting through it! I think we managed to eat about half of it before we gave up.
The breakfast was buffet style and adequate. I think most people would find something to eat there.
The room was great. A view out to the busy street and the station. Tea/coffee making facilities. A comfortable bed and walk in shower.
Would happily recommend the hotel. Great place to stay near to the station.
- stephaniegD981SP (10/5): Lovely stay - Had a great stay here.stayed for 3 nights.was well looked after and lots to do around the hotel too.all staff were very friendly but Dee🤩 was so welcoming and always asked if we had had a good day.room was basic but comfortable and clean and was very thankful for the air con 👍
- O6524UFlindaj (6/5): Ideal situation for Ice skating stadium - Staff at Hotel were very friendly and helpful. Bed very comfortable although rest of hotel very tired. Carpets didn’t feel very clean and public areas could be refreshed. Was at a Hockey Camp at Ice Rink next door so was very handy for that event.
Could benefit from some outdoor seating as we had to use seating outside Brewers Faye during event at rink.
- sharonwX2717UL (10/5): Premier by name and nature - Hotel is clean, fresh and comfortable. Staff are welcoming and friendly and very helpful if you need anything. Also in a good location for entertainment and food. Our regular place to stay when visiting family. Recommended.
- 707gk (10/5): I would recommend - Clean room, comfortable bed and friendly staff. Breakfast was standard breakfast for Premier inn, staff was very accommodating.
- manlokelmanc (2/5): Banding sound from the ceiling inside since 2:00am - Bad experience, we stayed 2 night in this hotel on level 3 Rm311, first night was fine but second night there was banging sound from the ceiling inside since 2 :00am, i tried to switch off the A/C, the banging sound still there, i spoke to the receptionist about that noise, he said they received few time of complaints about this noise from other customers before and he don’t have any spare room can change for us. I have a video to record this terrible experience but just only photo can be uploaded in this website.
Very terrible
- 557lizk (10/5): Lovely premier inn - What a lovely hotel the staff were all so friendly and helpful especially Dee and Sue. Rooms were clean and the hotel itself was tidy and quiet. I would definitely revisit if I was up that way again.
- hildyl2025 (6/5): Help everyone (even smokers) - Excellent hotel value for money good staff however needs updating 2 coffee swatches are not enough in the room and should have a seating area for smokers outside also the windows should be able to open for fresh air.
I don’t know the receptionist name but he’s a young guy and he’s a credit to your hotel very helpful and polite
- BettyBumwiggle (4/5): RUDE AND REALLY UNHELPFUL - Unfortunately we are still at this hotel. When we first arrived we were greeted by a lovely lady who told us there is always someone here 24/7 for whatever you need. After the first uncomfortable night (rock hard mattress and only 2 pillows each) I wanted to ask for 2 more pillows. We stood at Reception for ages and eventually a lady with long dark hair came and we asked if we could have 2 more pillows. She abruptly said “NO you have 2 pillows each, that is more than enough for you”. I explained that I needed 3 as I suffer from reflux and my husband also needed three. She abruptly replied “NO, our hotel has no spare pillows its 2 each”. There was nobody at Reception last night either! So much for Premier Inns promise of a good nights sleep. So in reply to her rude “NO” I will say “NO we would NOT recommend staying in this rude and very unhelpful hotel”.
- YvonneSalisbury28 (8/5): Good location - Modern hotel with parking. Great bathroom, comfortable beds. Would be nice if there were some storage/ drawers for things like underwear in rooms. Staff very friendly and helpful. Nice quiet bar on evening for last drink. Only about 400 metres from buses to town centre, only 3 stops so very close. Main train station in easy walking distance in less than 5 minutes
- yourpalkpal (6/5): Nice hotel, hygiene could be improved. - I just came back from my trip to Wiesbaden. Stayed at Premier Inn because of its great location close to concert location Schlachthof and the train station. Really close to the city centre too.
What I liked: the room is well equipped, the team at the reception are friendly, the check in and out went really fast, no issues there.
What I didn’t like: my towel had some really long black hairs on it which I noticed when I wanted to use it. Apart from that, the soap dispensers (both in the shower and outside at the bathroom sink) had mold/dirt on them (see attached photos).
I slept really well there and like I said, the location is great. But I think hygiene should be one of a hotel’s top priorities so I’m only rating it with 3/5.
