Guest Reviews
- jemmac734 (4/5): Very dissapointing - The location was perfect for what we needed. Price was a bit expensive and once we were inside we noticed how run down it is. The toom smelt incredibly damp. There was black mould on the ceiling of the room and bathroom and the window was pooling water constantly. It being -2 over night we didnt keep the window open with 2 young children in the room. It was a good size room but everything smelt damo and musty. Even the clothes we wore to bed smelt musty by the morning. Was very dissapointing
- Traveler03885683872 (2/5): Disgusting & BEDBUGS!!! - BEDBUGS!
The worst hotel I have ever stayed in.
Absolutely disgusting and found bed bugs on the bed!!!
Family room so had to change rooms in the middle of the night with children. Horrendous experience
- robertsg70 (10/5): Excellent service - We went in looking to print some documents and the lovely staff helped us as we were unable to find anywhere else in Aldershot. Excellent service 😊
- 428catalinl (10/5): Amazing - Lovely experience at this hotel.everything was perfect from the room to the staff.thank you all especially Monica,she went above and beyond making my stay easier.
- 396giedriusp (10/5): Amazing check in - Maria was amazing kind and cheerful, showed interest where we from and knew capital city. We came in early and she sort out our room with no problem and super quick to check in.
- darreno334 (10/5): Great staff - Probably the most relaxed Premier Inn that i have stayed in. This review pays credit to the lovely helpful staff. Nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely return here. Thank you
- Nonnie2807 (10/5): Excellent Stay - Parking is plentiful, albeit you have to pay and register your car and the automated check in was seamless. There is electric charging points (GeniPoint) in the car park 7kw
Stayed in a Premier Plus Room (306) and was clean and in good order. The room overlooked a large Tesco.
Food was good in the small restaurant- booking is essential.
Only negative was breakfast wasn’t ready to be served as advertised at 06:30 and as I had to leave for 06:45 this wasn’t perfect.
Overall good stay
- staceysN8858KP (10/5): Great hotel, lovely service from all staff - Our first time staying here. We knew when we booked that the restaurant would be closed due to refurb. We had a few reminders leading up to the stay and then the lovely reception staff made sure we knew too. We had lots of time ahead of staying to research other options in the local area. Being round the back of a huge Tesco with a cafe was super handy! The room was as expected for a PI, we didn't have a shower curtain, not an issue, we requested one on our way to Tesco, and by the time we came bacl it had been fitted for us. We were in a quiet part of the hotel, so had two peaceful nights sleep. We will definitely be staying here again.
- Isembard (4/5): No cleanliness.. - Awful.. I generally am pleased with premier inn, but this was the worst I had stayed in. Considering the building is only 2 years old the cleanliness was awful in particular the bathroom. The towels in the room were ripped.
Food was dreadful, cold stale dried plastic like bacon. Awful.
- Y6051YBmichaele (10/5): Excellent stay at Aldershot - All staff very pleasant and helpful. Room very clean. Excellent parking facilities. Very quiet. Bathroom facilities excellent with plenty of hot water.
- Squeaks93 (10/5): A warm welcome - A lovely welcome from Claire and great service from Paula. Spotlessly clean rooms and a great distance from Oxford. Making our weekend away super convenient. Thank you!
- waynebP5264ZY (10/5): brillant service - thank you to vicky fantanstic service all week ................................................mmmmmmmmmmm.
.
- 794warwickb (10/5): Great stay. - The lady on reception Monica was great, helped me in every way possible to ensure a great stay. I will defiantly return as she made my stay easier. Thank you.
- Feetstepout (8/5): Good, but sort out the heating - Easily accessible hotel. Modern and clean. Room up to usual standard ( good, basic, comfortable bed, but heating poor. Time lag of 15 minutes in air con working . Similar situation downstairs an significant fluctuations in temperature.
- 754emmelinem (2/5): Don’t stay here - I’d seen other bad reviews but thought maybe just bad luck on those guests parts. I won’t stay here again. Restaurant was a joke. Sat there an hour and in the end I left without eating anything and only a glass of water the whole hour, I nearly passed out. Waitress said it was my fault for ordering pizza?!
- Navigate17893090987 (10/5): A pleasant stay after a long day’s work - On arrival to check in the staff greeted us with a friendly smile and were very welcoming and helpful, the rooms were clean and comfortable and fresh towels were available on request. The service at meal times was excellent and the ladies working the evening meal were very polite and efficient and food was of good quality. And was nice to see that they were supportive of the great Ormond street hospital with a selection of gifts for sale and a tombola for me it was a pleasant stay well done to all
- benwP4221LU (10/5): Really good - Its good lovely beds and showers very comfy and showers are that the quality says very good i loved the showers and the quality of the air con
- P9435GUpeterc (8/5): Great - Great staff fantastic people great food and great service always there when needed great place to be very accessible good location best premier inn by far for parking and food quality
- jonpluta (10/5): Lovely Receptionist - Lovely location, under maintenance but its a nice building, nice room and nice smoking garden!
Lovely receptionist Celeste, went above and beyond to help out!
Would recommend.
- A3836UVts (4/5): Stay if you just want a good night's sleep - 2 star at best. Welcome not the best all automated and we was not asked for our vehicle reg we had paid. We had issues with the temperature in the room and had to keep going back as the panel was locked so couldnt change. Dusty bathroom and mold round shower. Had the meal deal and when finished was questioned do you have anything to pay or are you on meal deal. Said meal deal assuming be paid automatically. Got a knock at the door in the room after to pay. Which we did. Went to brekkie. No juice place was a mess no one tidying breakfast areas. 1 slice of bread left only filled wen asked. 1 crumpet and 2 pancakes. Rock hard and burnt hot food. We got a refund and went to Tesco. Bargain fresh and tasty. Wont be back and wish the female staff would crack a smile too.
- Z7812SWcallumb (8/5): A perfect stopover on our trip. - The room was nice and clean, and as always, the bed was super comfortable. The automated check-in process was super easy to use. Overall the full facility was in good condition.
- titusa226 (10/5): This iscan excellent hotel, I will not hesitate to recommend - Excellent service from Vish, he is very friendly and responded to enquiries with smiles, his customer engagement is topnotch
- Lamby1980 (6/5): Very average - Good location.
Reception never manned which is a bit of a pain. You always have to ring the bell for assistance. But they do come out quickly.
Room hadn't been cleaned properly and there was rubbish under the bed. However the bed was comfortable.
Shower area was dirty. Lots of grime considering how new the hotel is.
Breakfast was fairly good. Plenty for me as a vegetarian although you do have to ask for the hot food but that appears standard across all PIs I've stayed in.
- amylY3814FY (10/5): Amazing! - Lovely place. Very clean and warm welcoming. Enjoyed ever minute of it. Very comfy beds and nice clean rooms. All staff were very welcoming and friendly. Ready to help at any time.
- mikehE9163LD (10/5): Superb staff especially Bella a real asset to the business - A wonderful experience, Bella could not have done more for us . We arrived late and we had booked the wrong room. She did a fantastic job off sorting out a problem we had created, she is a true asset to the company
- Garymason25 (10/5): Fabulous - "Our stay was fantastic. The room were spotless, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and the staff was so friendly and welcoming. We especially loved the complimentary breakfast—it was a great start to our day. We'll definitely be back!"
- Shadowland_12 (4/5): Not worth the Premier Prices (Premier Inn Charge) - I was expecting a clean, decent room.. As I paid premier prices for the 2 nights I stayed at this location.
I was totally surprised by the dirty, tired rooms, that were given to me, did complain, but didn't really get anywhere.
(am still thinking of approaching WhitBread HQ)
- A7377GBjayh (2/5): Rip off - Hidden parking fine.
Avoid this place.
I can accept that it's under staffed.
I can accept that it's not the Hilton.
I can accept that not everything is tip top.
I can't accept that no one tells you to pay for parking here and then you get a £60 fine in the post.
Simply stealing money to charge for parking in a motel and not inform the guests.
- Fangio53 (6/5): One night stay. - There have been a lot of negative reviews about this hotel. On the plus side we found it to be clean and the evening meal was good.
On the negative side you have to pay for parking which is ridiculous and I had to pay for the meal rather than it being put on the room. With any decent hotel you pay when you check out.
- sim0namarianaf (10/5): A short but amazing stay - Everything was great. I had an amazing breakfast and dinner. The room was clean and the mattress was very comfortable. Friendly and amazing staff
- jeremysB6525FZ (4/5): Business user that stays there often - It's just a basic overnight stay and if you get the rooms at the end next to the roundabout traffic noise keeps you awake all night.
For the price there are so many better hotels although sadly not in this location.
It's not like the advert. my pillowcase never properly covers the pillow on the inside. the duvet cover is open at the end, which is not hygienic, but I suspect make changing the bed easier for staff.
Its reasonably clean and not terrible but for the price you would expect much more.
- M5571YGcolinb (8/5): Hotel experience - Convenient placed hotel next to Tesco superstore and other stores. Hotel clean with friendly staff. My only criticism was walking through smokers at front entrance.
- vikkimcguire82 (10/5): Friendly place to stay - Lovely place to stay, very friendly staff, all within good walking distance to supermarkets, restaurants and the town centre.
- christopherhH4956BS (4/5): Cost does not reflect the quality - Positives (not many)- Very friendly and helpful staff, air conditioning.
Negatives- Upon early check in which i paid for and after a 5 and half hour journey with 2 young children we were made to wait 20 minutes in the hot car because the room wasnt prepared yet. Basic tv and to make it worse the hdmi cable and wall input were not working also behind tv was full of dust. There was a toy from the previous family left under a bed, the shower head had pink mold on it so had to shower at a relatives place, also found a false nail on the floor that wasn't ours. Finally very hard and uncomfortable pillows. I stayed at this hotel in 2019 and the quality was much better then. At almost £300 for 2 nights I expected better and will not be returning on my next trip.
- Passenger621575 (10/5): Another great stay - Another great stay at Premier Inn at Aberdare. Staff are always super helpful. Room and area clean, quiet and great to stay to visit family in the area.
- RobLeeDavies (10/5): Great location - I had a fantastic stay at this Premier Inn. The location is ideal, just a short walk into Aldershot, which made getting around really easy. The hotel itself was spotless, and my room was both spacious and very comfortable, making it a great place to relax. I really appreciated the complimentary breakfast provided during the building works – such a thoughtful gesture that made a big difference. The team here clearly cares about their guests, and it showed it. Thank you!
- Stay792587 (10/5): Clean, quiet sleep - Located close to access for the Brecon Beacons, links to local transport. Friendly staff well informed who advised us for local taxis.
- matthewc740 (10/5): Perfect place to stay for chasing waterfalls. - Not gonna lie, we love a premier inn. They're cheap and cheerful and they breakfast they provide is always banging :)
We stayed here for 2 nights last week while we were chasing waterfalls around the brecon beacons. Only a short drive away from everything you need. Next door to a brewers fayre which did the food for the hotel and a lidl or asda 2 minute walk away.
All the staff were helpful and welcoming and always gave my son a prize when he did colouring for the wall of fame- nice touch.
We will def come and stay again when in the area, thankyou guys it was a pleausre.
- Z8689QRzachc (4/5): disappointing - i am pretty appalled with this hotel when we finally got keys for the room it smelled like a hospital. no proper shower and a tiny tv… But across the road my mum is staying in one of there other rooms it has a massive tv, a fan and a proper bathroom. our bed was as squeaky and the water in the taps in the bathroom was the only available place to get water and it taste horrible and to add salt to the wound there is no restaurant. and on top of all of that none of the bedside plug sockets worked whatsoever and they have no working heaters or aircon so all together very disappointing
- alisonaK539RX (10/5): Great hotel, shame about the building work! - The hotel staff and rooms are great. Front desk reception staff are really friendly and welcoming and the rooms comfortable and well appointed. Just as you would expect from Premier Inn. At the moment, the hotel is going through extensive renovation, which includes the restaurant, however I was warned of this in advance and a very (carb heavy!) breakfast was provided for me. It's a 10 minute walk to the town center, which is exactly what I want.
- paulbF707KV (10/5): Great Team! - I have stayed in this hotel every week since the start of the year. The staff are all great and remember me every time. This personal touch is greatly appreciated and the hotel is always clean and quiet. Monica looked after me today and always has a smile on her face and gives a warm welcome. The whole team are great though, cannot fault them! A credit to Premier Inn!
- siorc2022 (10/5): A good base to go to any attraction in south Wales. - A clean friendly hotel with easy access to the beacons, Cardiff and other attraction. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful.
- angelwingsinsync (10/5): Always good to know a clean, spacious room and comfy bed awaits. - My elderly mum and I enjoyed our four night stay at Premier Inn Aldershot in a spacious twin room with extra comfy beds and an opening window for fresh air, with tree views. The large bathroom was clean and modern. There was plenty of light and mirrors and heavy curtains to close at night to sleep. The staff were friendly, polite and helpful. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed for renovations but we went next door to Tesco and had a lovely breakfast at the cafe every morning. There were a variety of restaurants in walking distance to have dinner when needed.
- milsiep2021 (10/5): - Thank you Vish, my 3rd stay here, and you have gone far and beyond to make us welcome 🤗 amazing customer services and I hope you get noted for this😎
- X9552YAdavel (4/5): Check the Restaurant before you book the hotel - Stayed here for 5 nights. Was unaware that the restaurant was under refurbishment (questionable as I haven’t seen a workman anywhere the entire time I’ve been here). Complimentary breakfast was a piece of fruit and a pastry. Coffee machine in the foyer is out of order although there is tea/coffee in the rooms. Try and avoid odd numbered rooms as you will hear traffic ALL night (room was too hot to have the windows closed). Lots of boy racers tearing up the road directly outside the window. Take your own toilet roll as the supplied stuff is pretty much just tissue paper!
- Gr3d (10/5): Comfortable - Second time we have stayed here, perfect location and comfortable rooms, close to food and drink too
Thank you to the whole team
- adwoa (8/5): - Nice and friendly employees.
- paulkP7414RM (10/5): Oasis 2025 - The service was amazing... the staff so so nice... special shout to the lively and lovely Debs and the very attractive Kayleigh.. what a pair made our trip that extra special xx thank you Girls... till next time xx
- 0sangamg (10/5): Would recommend - Very friendly receptionist, Maria. She was very accommodating with all my requests and the room are very cosy. Free parking is a plus too
- Jong (2/5): - I learned that premier inn is like the easy jet of hotels. Also it isn't the fact that they nickel and dime you about everything but that they make it so hard. DIY check-in that doesn't work., free Internet that's do terrible that you have no choice but to upgrade, very lean staffing, not very clean, etc...
- Curiosity00879052139 (2/5): Bad experience - £15 charge to check in before 3pm i had to atend a wedding at 3pm so I had no choice to pay £15 charge because my wife need to do her hair and so on and the room was ready at 1pm discussed never stay there again i rather slept in the car. But the wedding was fantastic.
- janeyjane66 (10/5): Best service ever at Aberdare - Restaurant and reception staff were the nicest and most helpful I have ever met. All went beyond to assist my walking group with places to visit. Researching on our behalf, providing leaflets and directions. Arranged taxis and assisted with food recommendations. Thank you
- waynerD4442WJ (10/5): Lovely clean and comfortable room - Lovely clean and comfortable room.
Staff were super friendly.
Very basic but well worth the money.
Food in the pud was OK, nice clean and friendly place.
Plenty of parking and very easy to find.
Only negative was no Iron in the room but other than this I would highly recommend.
- chrishO2535OH (10/5): Comfy accessible room, great staff team - Accessible room was set out well, the bathroom was fully accessible and easy to use. Staff were helpful and friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them.
The only small downside is the limited number of disabled parking spaces adjacent to the hotel.
- Cozzybe (10/5): Fantastic stay - Just had 2 lovely nights at this hotel and felt welcomed from the moment we stepped into the hotel.
Staff so friendly could not help us enough especially Debs she is an absolute star.
Lovely greeting with the wine and chocolate in our room for Valentine’s Day what a wonderful touch.
Room clean, showers hot, comfortable beds and a great breakfast next door.
Will certainly visit again with out any hesitation.
- Lucy05345 (10/5): Lovely stay! - Lovely clean room, fantastic customer service with smiles all round. Friendly receptionist who had all the answers for us, thanks Sophie!
Good service next door too at the pub with great food, just what we needed.
Only thing I’ll mention, the shower head was cracked in our room so the bathroom had a shower too!😂
- jonathanfK7291QT (2/5): Beware of disappointment and note that you can't complain unless it's booked in your name! - We've always liked Premier Inn, but this was a massive disappointment. This hotel apparently has a few nicely decorated, up to date and well maintained, new rooms. We got an old room with not an iota of warmth and none of that inviting feeling. On arrival at 9pm, the window was open and the room was cold. Later found out why! No ventilation in bathroom, so after a bath, the walls in the room and carpet were damp with condensation. Several lights didn't work. Bedside lights didn't even have bulbs in them! Don't know if the heating worked, but the room wasn't warm. Drab throughout. Room was obviously suffering from neglect. Staff were helpful and polite, so no complaints there. Outside there were several health and safety concerns, with most of the lights not working, the perimeter fencing falling down. Brewers Fayre was neglected in a similar manner, with worn table tops, staining above food service areas, faulty equipment, bad signage, not great service and the new "limited breakfast array" which was honestly rubbish in comparison to the old ways. Outdoor children's play area fencing was missing many panels and on one side was collapsing. Safer to have no fence!! Cutting costs, poorly staffed and yet ever expanding! Apparently one can't complain unless you're named on the booking. Wife's getaway birthday present to me. She doesn't like to comment, so as I'm not the relevant guest, I'm not entitled to have an opinion. Pointed out that my wife does not like to say anything and they haven't responded to me further! Take note, reviews from over a year ago, reflect similar points of view, so chances of improvement are slim! Plenty more to say, but I hope that you've already got the picture. It's my understanding that due to policy changes, you can no longer expect that guaranteed level of comfort and standards in this place are well below par.
- kulwinderd2024 (2/5): Disgusting carpet - Stayed in premier inn several times before, this easiest has to the worst in terms of cleanliness. The carpet was filthy!! I think I could have used a knife to scrape off the grime of the carpet, it was that thick with dirt. Carpet desperately needs to be changed. There was a durex wrapper by the side of the bed! Disgusting! Clearly a more through sweep of the room needs to be done. The bedsheets looked clean, I so hope that they were clean sheets!!
- georgiarV1235NY (10/5): Queen Kate! - Huge shout out to Kate on nights! She was so caring and helped us out so much when my friend was ill. Best customer service we've had in a Premier Inn.
Thank you for checking on us all during their stay! Hopefully we get to see you again on their next visit.
- F6694YQstephens (10/5): Friendly clean and easy to get to - We turned up late ish 10pm, staff asked if we needed help with the bikes I was putting in the room. Everyday always asked if we needed anything very polite.
The room was on the smaller side of thing for 4 poeple but we did have bikes in the room aswell so can't complain at all.
- GFRP2020 (6/5): Typical Premier Inn - Hotel was a standard Premier Inn. Restaurant was disappointing, slow, over priced and food was below average
