Guest Reviews
- clarej841 (10/5): Fantastic friendly staff, lovely area. - 5 out of 5 friendly staff, rooms a lovely, fantastic area for a visit, perfect for a couple of days or a couple of weeks. Thanks
- damoo2016 (4/5): Pretty dire - don't expect much. - Pretty poor overall. Massively understaffed and the rooms are in dire need of a makeover.
The staff were friendly but you could see they were stressed out from being so understaffed - literally running from reception to the resturant and back. They were working way harder than they get paid for... premier inn - take note.
My room was in a terrible state. The ceiling was coming down in the bathroom at multple points and a previous occupier had put their fist through the plasterboard wall near the thermostat... probably because the heating wouldn't turn on...
Coffee machine was broken on both mornings with no real alternatives - still charged the full breakfast fee though.
Tatty communial areas and overall it was a bit of a dive. I kept telling myself it was fine because it was cheap!
- Si_Holmes (8/5): Lovely hotel, insecure parking - Comfortable quiet room, very friendly staff, especially the lady multitasking reception and breakfast duties. Stay spoiled somewhat by my car being broken into overnight in the car park in an attempt to steal the stereo.
- Amyelll (6/5): Mixed bag but would return - Pros:
The staff here are excellent. So friendly and helpful, especially the gentleman on reception when I checked in. He went through everything in detail unprompted and made sure I knew everything before I went to my room.
The room (premier plus) was lovely. The bed was very comfortable as were the chairs for while I was working. Everything was clean and tidy. I love the additional of the coffee machine, mini fridge and little chocolates in this upgrade and very much enjoyed the coffee as I waited for my table reservation.
The evening meal was good and this hotel offers good portion sizes. If you’re staying and want to have a meal in, I’d recommend upgrading to the meal deal as it’s essentially a free starter or drink and drink, depending on what main you choose. I got the burger which was £15.95 on its own so the upgrade of £16 at check-in was worth it.
Cons:
There was a heating issue during my stay. My room was quite cold despite the heating being on and I set it to 25.5 degrees at one point but the air was still not coming through hot. It took until about 2am to get to 21 degrees according to the thermostat so the morning was much more comfortable. During the evening meal, there was an issue with the air in there too which is how I knew my room was not an isolated incident. I didn’t hang around too long in there once I’d eaten as I was quite chilly. It was the same in the morning and the hostess did apologise and say she was sorting it without me having to mention it.
Breakfast
I travel quite a bit and this particular breakfast was a let down compared to other premier inn ones I’ve had unfortunately. I cut into a sausage and oil came out and the eggs were very greasy too (more than you’d expect from a fried egg). I only ate half before leaving it. Some of the bread was also stale but this could be because it had been a few hours since the start of service, but I picked up a few slices before I found one not so hard.
Overall, I’d stay here again because most of the issues would likely have been addressed and maybe it was a bad morning for breakfasts but it’s not the best experience I’ve had. Maybe I’ll just pack some extra layers, just in case!
- KevPamW (2/5): A dirty hotel- needs maintenance- black mould in room, which had not been cleaned properly- only caters for workmen. - Two of us arrived and had booked a double room. Only one towel was left for us. There was dirt everywhere, most of the walls appeared to have had large insects squashed against them and the remnants left on the wall. . Most dangerous though, there was a patch of black mould on the wall that had just been painted over, but had come straight through again. Not any good for guests with respiratory disease! Dust, fluff and sweet papers under the bed and couch - not been cleaned for ages!! No socket next to the headboard, so could not use my CPAP machine as my lead was not long enough. Bulbs out in the ceiling lighting. No room or hotel maintenance seems to go on here. Random banging sound every few minutes through the night. Bed also is very high, you nearly need a step ladder to get on it. Would not stay here again. Holes in the bathroom wall. They only seem interested in catering for workmen, judging by the poorly parked vans and Lorry’s all over the car park, which also had random tables, road signs and roadwork furniture all over it.
- Travel772692 (10/5): First time, will return... - Great beds, very clean, excellent value.
Food choice and quality excellent as is the staff ...recommend sea bass. The lady waiting, attending the bar, breakfast and dinner was so friendly and helpful.
- 486joannes (10/5): Cannot recommend enough. - Our stay had to be extended due to unforeseen circumstances and we were helped when moving rooms to find the loveliest gift and card which meant so much. The staff are not just professional but they went above and beyond and we cannot recommend them enough.
- richardcR8012IK (10/5): Great - Amazing staff on Tuesday wensday and Thursday night as bissy as it was your did the job to a high standard well done we will be bk 👍👍
- P7958BBadamd (10/5): A Lovely Stay - The staff were really friendly and helpful, which made it a pleasant stay. The room was nice and clean, and staff were always accommodating.
- yhi904 (10/5): Solid choice as expected from PremierInn - Everything you expect from the brand. Efficient check in. Comfortable room with comfy bed. Love the premium extras, eg coffee machine and chocolate. Bathroom needs refurb; bath panel badly water damaged. Car parking £3. Although the Brewer’s Fayre is on site, there is no covered walkway so it is a wet walk for dinner and breakfast when the weather is bad. The food and service was good. Overall good for an overnighter and great value for money.
- ryanlX921VF (10/5): Emma and Amy are amazing - Emma and Amy are the most amazing receptionists, they both went the extra mile they went above and beyond, I would recommend this hotel for there customer service, there banter was class as well
- mummabluberry2014 (8/5): Central Location - Excellent location.
The public car park is accessible by lift from the hotel and the £5 charge for overnight parking is reasonable.
The rooms are in need of upating especially the bathroom but everything was clean.
There was quite a wait for a table at breakfast and although the hot food is made to order, all of our eggs were over-cooked.
We stayed there to attend a football match at Oakwell Stadium and it was conveniently situated for a relatively easy 20 minute walk.
- D1629UYkarenb (6/5): Not great - Ok apart from the state of the quilts and mattress protectors. Absolutely filthy.
I stripped the beds in the morning ,as I always do , and was absolutely disgusted. I wish I'd checked before we actually slept in the beds 😔
- 629samic (10/5): Great hotel - Lovely hotel. Clean, friendly staff great location. I stayed in the newer part of the hotel and the room was lovely. The shower was amazing. Loved the lights nice touch.
- Doctorpeg (6/5): Fine but restaurant chronically understaffed - Our two night stay here was fine but on the Saturday the restaurant was heavingly busy with long waits. It would have been so much worse but for Katy who was the only person taking orders and serving food. She rushed around for several hours. Had she been less friendly and efficient the waits would have been even longer and people would have become annoyed. So thank you Katy. And the probably understaffed kitchen also.
- S8150BKphilc (10/5): Always a great trouble free stay with great staff 😃 - Stay here a few times a year. Always great presentation and friendly efficient staff. Just a one night stay on this occasion but the usual high standard .
Emma was really on the ball at my arrival and after I ordered a takeaway that was delivered early Emma was good enough to bring it to my room ! Also later rescuing me again when I had a struggle with the vending machine ! She’s a star ! 😀
- markhU8874OP (10/5): Mark Hardy - Stay - Ameena is a diamond in the hotel. Instantly recognised me, even though I hadn't been for a year. As usual nice place to stay and quiet. First time I had used the restaurant since the conversion from Brewers Fayre.
Will be back at some point
- 915sandrat (10/5): Good stay - Beccy is fantastic nothing too much trouble. It doesn't matter if she is in reception or covering in restaurant she always has a smile and a friendly word. We will be back as we have family in the area. Thank you.
- kevindV4174PX (4/5): Rubbish internet and inedible food. - Staff are without fault. Very helpful.
If you need to use a laptop for work or want to stream TV through a device I recommend you never stay here. Internet is literally non existent.
The Brewers fayre attached to it for breakfast and dinner served food I wouldn't feed a stray dog.
- mrsduck12 (10/5): Fab hotel in a great location. Ideal if going to a concert in the nearby Memo Arts Centre as it's only a 10 min walk. - This hotel is in a lovely location overlooking the old docks. It was very clean and the receptionist was very friendly on arrival. Checked in online so arrival was quick and we were told where to go to find out room. Our room was huge with a large very comfy double bed. The bathroom was also big and clean. We had food in the Brewers Fayre right next door and was really happy. It was a value meal offer between 12pm&6pm so only £5. We had fish and chips and considering the price it was a large portion. The hotel was quiet during the night and we slept well. Didn't book breakfast this time but I know it is usually a good selection of hot and cold food. Will definitely return.
- anthonycE8025BD (8/5): Long stay - Staff are extremely helpful, I was there long term for work. Bed was comfortable, loads of hot water for a bath. Black out curtains were good and it was quiet during the day for people who want to sleep on nightshift
Windows don't open which I think is a fire risk and can't get any fresh air into the room.
Have to pay £3 per day to park at the hotel
- LMS662014 (8/5): An overnight stop over for a gig. - The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was clean and the shower was a good temperature. The man in reception was courteous and helpful.
- 420mikee (4/5): Way past it's best - Firstly, the reception was staffed which is a real positive. Without exception, all of the staff from reception to cleaner were both pleasant and efficient. Unfortunately, the staff have proven to be the only real positive of the stay. Overall, the appearance of the hotel is very much down at heel and is decidedly more shabby than chic. Despite our room being 'Premier Plus' it can only be described as tired and could definitely do with a refurb. Many of the walls are badly marked. The aircon, when working is incredibly noisy and can make sleeping quite difficult. It also frequently cuts out, so maintaining a constant temperature can a bit of a struggle. In summer temperatures, it would be incredibly uncomfortable. The main areas of the room seemed clean. There is little to no adjustment to the shower head. In order to shower there is no option but to stand in the slippy area of the bath as the grippy area of the bath is in completely the wrong place to be effective. The shower screen is also ineffective resulting in the floor getting a good soaking and is no doubt responsible for the water damaged bath panel. Whoever designed this, clearly hadn't used it as all of these problems are immediately evident.
I'm pretty good with IT/tech but I couldn't get the 'ultimate WiFi' to work even with the additional instructions for Apple devices. I reported this at reception and they were aware of the issue. I was then given a slip with instructions for Apple devices. As this is clearly an acknowledged problem, why not issue this additional log on information on arrival rather than having to ask? Better still, include it with the other paraphernalia on the desk. This is a real problem if anyone needs to work on anything other than the most basic of tasks. I ended up resorting to 5G via my phone as a hotspot for much of the time which was a decided improvement as it didn't drop out every five minutes. On the upside, the bed was comfortable and clean, but this in itself is not enough for me to overlook the other shortcomings.
The breakfast was the cheapest of the cheap ingredients and can best be described as barely adequate. With the bran-flake option, I feel I'd have been better off eating the cardboard box it came in as opposed to the actual cereal. Again, further evidence of cost cutting.
The most disappointing element of the stay was having to pay £3.00 per day for parking. Given the amount we paid for the room, this is extremely mean spirited. This is unmitigated greed and designed to do nothing more than extract the absolute maximum from the customer. Over the years, I've stayed in a number of Premier Inns, and have always been satisfied. However, this is now the second time I've experienced very similar problems at opposite ends of the country. This leads me to conclude that all of this is due to company policy. This will now in all probability be my last time at a Premier Inn. Premier Inn used to be utterly reliable and enabled booking at pretty much any location with complete confidence. Now the brand has been so cheapened that it can only be described as unpleasant. As good as the bed is it doesn't make up for the rest. The staff here are really very good. However, I suspect that in common with other branches they will be 'let go' and self-service check in will be implemented. All of this is such a shame as it is now a shadow of what it once was.
TOP TIP - get food from the Tesco Express, it's only a five minute walk away!
- hollies235 (10/5): Premier inn stay - Saved our trip! After being let down by another hotel, they helped us out last minute with a room and even set up a cot straight away. The room was spacious and the customer service was excellent — couldn’t have asked for more. Highly recommend.
- Ganagana358 (2/5): Cold, smelly and Neon light to keep you awake - not a ssshhhh experience - On arrival the receptionist was lovely , check in was smooth and no problems .... that was the best thing about the stay . Our room (30) was at the end of a long corridor ( why do PI always put you in a room a far way away when booking online ?) opening the door it was cold ! window open , quickly realised it was to mask the smell of sewage from the Bathroom - which was clean but old .... probably older than my age !! - the green light ( fire alarm or smoke ) was brighter than the Northern lights and I ended up climbing on the unit to put a pillow over it ... to sleep ... In the morning the curtains would not open .. stuck... Not the best stay and would not stay again
- R3980HRgaryc (8/5): Comfortable bed. But some TLC required. - Easy to find, near the water. Good car parking, very quick check in. And lovely, comfortable bed. Although, the room could do with some tlc and redecorating. Reasonable price and was pre-warned about building work taking place. Not affecting us at the weekend.
- zheas (10/5): Nice and cosy stay - Our stay here was nice and pleasant. Staff was really nice and helpful.
Would definitely recommend if you are coming with family.
- martinmK6765EI (10/5): Premier Inn Barry great views staff. Very helpful happy to help us all in 1 in a googleplex - It was celebrating our 8 th wedding anniversary shame on the weather only one lush day but it was awesome seeing Cardiff castle meeting someone who worked there Keith he was very helpful knock off Nessa did the Dave coaches tour that was fantastic all in all fantastic. We found two places we were looking for mcsims pastisties Maltese cafe and fabulous Welsh cakes
- Cockle43 (8/5): Standard Premier Inn but with a star on the staff - Stayed overnight bothways as a journey break a week apart. Not many alternatives around for eating so, fortunately, the Social facility gave an acceptable standard of catering, better than most with Brewers Fayre and Beefeater, with a cooked breakfast to order rather than buffet style.
Usual Premier Inn standard rooms and facilities.
Staff were friendly, particularly Katy in the restaurant, she was a star and they should treasure her. Katy was funny, friendly, and , above all efficient. One of our party had a pill box with them to take some medication, Katy suddenly appeared at her side with a glass of water for her to take the pills with no prompting, very rarely, if ever, had that happen. Well done, Katy, it is little things like that which make a stay just that bit more pleasant and would make us stay again here in preference to others.
- Discover36941433360 (2/5): Unfair parking charge - I was very disappointed to find that Premier Inn now charges £3.50 per night for parking. In all my previous stays, parking has always been included, so this feels like an unnecessary and unfair extra charge on top of the room rate. Guests should not be expected to pay additional fees simply to park while staying at the hotel.
I have always chosen Premier Inn for good value and convenience, but this new policy has left me questioning whether I will book again in the future.
- Safari25920088741 (4/5): Foisty, Spider infested rooms. - You pay for a hotel for the room yes? So you expect it to be clean and at least decent.
Well... The rooms are f***ing disgusting! I wouldn't even pay £10 for the state of the rooms.
My first room stunk of Foist, had mould and was covered in spider webs.
Second room was a SPIDERFEST! And also had a gauge out of the bathroom door!
The receptionist was well mannered. But that's all.
The nearest McDonald's is aproximately a mile away and so is the KFC. With the only food that's walkable being their not cheap but not expensive restraunt.
Even for a stop off for ONE NIGHT. I felt unclean and dirty even once I been in the shower.
- 810anthonyw (10/5): Very good family stay - Really great experience at this Premier Inn. It's not the most prettiest of places but makes a fantastic cheap base to explore the South Lakes area by car. We stayed in a family room with 4 people. Beds were comfortable as they always are at Premier Inn. The hotel was spotlessly clean and staff were unfailingly helpful at both reception and the adjacent restaurant where breakfast is served. Premier Inn Breakfast in the brewers fayre was excellent. There is Electric car charging on site and the hotel is very close to other amenities in the retail parks as well as the Dock museum which has an good children's play area.
- F1850VCteresal (10/5): This was a spur of the moment mini break in Barry. Thank you to you all for making it a fabulous couple of days. - We arrived early but were invited to do the early check in which we did. The room was very clean and comfortable. We asked for a couple extra pillows which were supplied in no time. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Couldn’t fault them at all.
- Meander50425515690 (10/5): A few days in Barrow to visit family. - The girls on reception, Kerry and Emma were absolutely brilliant. We had to move from the hotel we had booked and they bent over backwards to fit us in.
- Sightsee65747723165 (10/5): Spot on - We stayed there on are wedding night just to get are heads down after the wedding and the staff left us Prosecco snd chocolates in the room and sweets for the kids
- 686ariesy (4/5): Very lousy experience - Room reasonable. Facilities ok as per usual. We booked the premier plus paying the extra as I have a work call.
Thank God we managed to check in by 4pm in time to sort out the non existent wifi
Nothing works - went back to reception who has to give us a voucher
1. Why this is not given when we check in
2. One voucher only allow one device although it states that the ultimate WiFi is for 3
3. The normal WiFi doesn’t work 90 percent of the time
Basically it’s a stay with no internet. This should be outright mention so we will know what to expect
And when we paid extra for the wifi we do expect that it is provide as paid - None
- netonthenet (8/5): Double check booking requirements - Just check if you are booking a “Twin” room that it is for two single beds and not really a family room with a double bed and a sofa/pull-out bed
- jonocarney (8/5): One of the decent Premier Inns - Great location with free parking. Room was clean and quiet and staff were very friendly, easy access to Barry Island and has a great pizza restaurant and an Asda on its doorstep!
- romasm846 (4/5): Not great stay - On arrival was advised that only family room available was one for disabled people, meaning room had no bathtube, but a walk in shower with all the fitted handles, bars and chairs. Light bulbs in the room and shower were so dim, it was way too dark all the time. The floor was squeeking loudly. The noise from the road was way too loud at night. And the worst was the smell. It smelled like medicine of some sort, and it was so strong that after leaving the hotel all the clothes even in the luggage had soked in the smell. Worst stay in Premier Inn to this day.
Review based on our experience only.
- joannalN122YK (2/5): Don’t stay if it’s hot! - Damp smelling room, windows didn’t open, no fan/cooling system and it was 26 degrees outside and inside. Shame as we stayed before and there were no issues. We couldn’t wait to leave!
- 836tonys (10/5): Quiet small hotel, good service - Easy to find, very self contained small hotel located on an industrial park. Room quiet and comfortable, food choices very good. If there is any criticism, there is nothing else around so eating in the hotel is pretty much the only option, although this was not a problem for me, the meal deal is good value for money.
- 119cathe (10/5): Enjoyed the night break - We loved our overnight stay here, only had one night sadly, my son was very happy with the room he didn’t want to leave & very comfortable beds, great view from the front, weatherspoons around the corner & brewers fayre next door, a bit of a walk to the beach but we would love to come again soon please
- Relax279584 (2/5): Shocking - You don't care about you customers. I complain many times dis make any difference lasker themangemt to ring bsck nothing
- 450nevillep (6/5): Too hot too handle - Ok if you want to sleep in a sauna and it wasn’t not hot outside so that was not making rooms hotter .
Website says no conditioning in hotel so did not book premier plus but apparently there is so miss sold .
Hardly any staff around and restaurant very basic .
- A8277LXemilyw (10/5): We Left 7 Minutes Before Checkout Time Because We Didn't Want To Leave! - Me and my best friend came to Barry Island because we of course wanted to see the filming locations from Gavin and Stacey. We decided to stay in the premier inn and we did not regret it!
I emailed the hotel before explaining that I have anxiety when it comes to staying in hotels and I needed to be on the ground floor and they was happy to accommodate.
Our room was lovely and we actually didn't want to leave the bed was so comfy. We actually left 7 minutes before 12pm because we didn't want to leave.
The room was clean and nicely laid out, the only thing was that there was some marks on the wall but in all fairness they were having building work done at the time. It was really hot when we went as well and as they are upgrading the hotel the windows don't open but there is air conditioning. Honestly it kept the room so cool and nice.
We didn't hear any of the building work (might be because it was a weekend but we still didn't hear anything).
It was so easy for us to walk to Barry Island from the hotel and go and see the things that we wanted to see and then walk back.
The hotel even now has a little nod to Gavin and Stacey! On the front and side of the building there is a side that says "Whats Occur-inn"
The hotel is facing the docks and it is a beautiful view!
The restaurant is nice, the only issue was that there isn't a massive selection for dinners but the breakfast is amazing, which we booked two £10.99 unlimited breakfasts. My friend had a massive full english and I had multiple different things like crumpets, a sausage sandwich and cereal!
We would 100% recommend it and we would love to go back even just to stay in the hotel!
- DanSpray1 (4/5): Regularly visitor through work - Staff are good as a whole (Amy, Emma, Steve and Rob- you couldn't wish for better). Unfortunately you can't say the same for the management. Cleaners - let's not bother with them. Maintenance- who needs that!
The building is grotty and the breakfast bar is constantly running out of stock and the coffee machine is a standing joke!
To be perfectly honest, save your money on the hotel and buy a tent, you'll be alot better off!
- 146irenab (10/5): Will be back - I would like to say a Huge Thanks for Korry and his Hospitality!
So Professional and Hard Worker!!! Everyday and all the time with the smile and ready to help.
Definitely, deserve the bonus ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
- BobblenoseWarwicks (10/5): The staff here are stars! - Very enjoyable stay. I liked the new Social cafe-bar (better than Brewers Fayre or Beefeater pubs). The bedroom as usual was spotless and comfortable, the bathroom too was clean, but the water pressure was such that when I slightly turned on my sink-tap, water sprayed all over me.
The staff were all friendly, welcoming and helpful, but Katy is amazing and obviously loves her job!
- François (10/5): - Very pleasant hotel with nice staff and all facilities you could expect. The room was perfect, except impossibility to open window for a little fresh air inside the room (air conditioning available though). Parking is big enough to park your car safely next to the hotel. City center and docks are easy to reach by walk (we recommend the docks museum, very interesting and free admission). Huge Tesco and other food corners around the hotel.
- gemma099 (6/5): Fair hotel but nothing special - Qe arrived early at 12 midday on Saturday and the lady on reception showed no interest or enthusiasm just simply said our room is not ready. The man later when we returned around 4/5pm was really friendly and helpful giving food recommendations and more.
The location is good to see the sights and gavin and stacey experience. The breakfast and service at the Brewers fayre was very good and the bed comfortable. The room was ok but a little run down in parts and the corridors smelt musky.
- darrenk2025 (6/5): Good Location But Not the best Premier Inn - Good Location Close to local Attractions! Cleanliness Could do with improvement Both in the rooms and outside the hotel and Bar premises!
Fag Ends everywhere & Litter need to be kept on top off
- andrewterry369 (10/5): 👍 - All good. Great location, food at the restaurant was good , sit outside and relax. Staff was great, and helped for information, ASDA is a 1 minute walk if you need essential s
- Curious10963510824 (8/5): Weekend break - We moved this break from Easter to beginning of August due to family issues. We mainly wanted to see local area and visit St Fagans museum, which we did and was an excellent day out. We were met by a lovely young lady called Nicole on reception who was very friendly helpful and told us directions around the area etc. We had room 121 which was clean and tidy, but the floors in the room especially the bathroom made a terrific creaking noise, and the noise from upstairs was even worse, it’s a shame as other than that the stay was good.
- siobhana583 (10/5): Amazing - Great stay, location close to the beach. Would stay again and ideal prices. Few minutes walk to industrial estate with multiple restaurants and stores such as Morrisons and Asda.
- X7812YZmarcj (10/5): Great stay. - Excellent stay at this hotel. Received a warm welcome from the receptionist and check in was quick and easy. My room was clean, tidy and contained everything required. The breakfast was delicious too. I'd definitely stay here again.
- JS747 (10/5): Would definitely stay again - Quiet comfy room. Reception staff so friendly patient and helpful. I had to be here for a week due to hospital visiting. They couldn't have been more kind though a difficult time. Great at sorting out extending my stay as i needed it. Also house keeping quiet kind and very good at their job. The hotel has the museum next door and a great walk along the estuary. I would definitely stay again.
- AvaTravelling (10/5): Excellent. Perfect location - Welcoming clean and bright hotel. Parking layout excellent and easy to access. Friendly guy called Nick on reception very helpful and knowledgeable about hotel and local area. Bedrooms spacious and well laid out, furniture in good condition. Everywhere spotless. Well stocked tea/coffee and bathroom items. Comfy bed. Quiet area no noise outside, very peaceful. Close to town for entertainment, eating, supermarkets etc 5 minute walk and very close to country walks and beach at the other side, perfect location.
- S4033CIrachaelw (10/5): Comfortable, friendly warm welcome - We stayed one night and loved every minute. Had everything we needed, great location and lovely warm, friendly welcoming staff who couldn't do enough to ensure our stay was comfortable, memorable and easy. For anyone needing a place to stay in Barry, I highly recommend.
- andrewkS764RT (10/5): Great location - Great location for exploring Barry Island, Cardiff and penarth,easy and plenty of parking, air conditioning was great in the room,very friendly reception staff, great room
- pp78322 (2/5): Air Conditioning does NOT work here!! Avoid! - Like others have mentioned, despite advertising that the family rooms have air conditioning/air cooling, it does not work! This is an older premier inn and the rooms are very dated.
We stayed in a family room, 2 adults and 2 kids in summer and it was unbearably stuffy! The air con is running but it is just blowing out warm air! 4 people in one room where you can’t open a window either! Honestly, don’t book here. Staff are aware this is an issue but there is nothing they can do. Head office - sort this out!!!! Unacceptable for families paying good money for a very poor experience. Don’t stay at this hotel. TIP: we stayed at Ulverston Premier Inn and this was MUCH better. Air conditioning was ice cold!
- Josh2695 (8/5): Good stay - Booked a three night stay, to visit Barry and do the Gavin Stacey tour. Staff all very friendly, brewers fayre next door, about a 15 minute flat walk to Barry Island. Only issues with the hotel was soundproofing seemed a bit non existent, the noise of the people in floor above walking around was very loud and could hear any little noise from other rooms or the hallway, and the air con seemed to sometimes turn itself on in the night for no obvious reason.
