Guest Reviews
- margaret (6/5): - The hotel didn’t smell great - sweaty locker rooms. The car park is small.
- 綉姬邱 (10/5): Taiwan 🇹🇼 - We had a lovely stay! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The room was spotless, well-prepared, and the bed was super comfy. You can really tell they pay attention to detail.
The only downside was the restaurant, the food quality wasn’t quite up to the same standard as the rest of the hotel. But overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back if we’re in the area again!🥰
- Cave02 (10/5): Good stay - Clean and comfortable. Staff nice and friendly. Meals good choices and good quality food . Convenient location next to the train station.
- H9539MHdenisem (8/5): General observation - Would recommend this hotel cleanliness was good
Parking for the weekend Friday-Sunday was £9.00 which i consider reasonable.
A pass could be given for those staying at hotel to get free parking
Visit to Gun Wharf Quays was nice and spinnaker tower was interesting.
- U474YYlisad (8/5): Good value for money and friendly staff - lovely hotel clean and goos value, friendly staff. Shame to pub next door was not seelling food that day let the visit down a bit
- LynwoodH0use (10/5): Comfortable staff with very accommodating staff. - Lovely hotel. Perfectly located. Seeing a show at The Guildhall which was seconds away.
Easy walking distance to Gunwarf Quays. Parking next door in multi-storey £4.50 for 24 hours. Easy stroll to hotel.
Staff above and beyond. Arrived before check in but not a problem for receptionist who secured our room early. Nothing was too much trouble.
Room decent size and bed comfortable. Black out curtains which were a bonus. Very quiet.
Breakfast next day was very good. Eggs looked a bit tired so we asked for fresh ones and they were made immediately with no fuss. Coffee excellent.
No complaints at all and wouldn’t think twice about staying again.
- 890dianneg (10/5): Very satisfied returning customer ☺️ - Clean, warm and helpful…. What more do you need when away from home. We’ve stayed here twice before and will do so again. We had everything we needed.
- h0lidaysarec0ming (10/5): 5star premier inn! - Fantastic premier inn! Staff very helpful (Sharney kept our room very clean thank you!). Very quiet, lots of good parking! Thank you for a great stay!
- sophiebP9012GA (2/5): Don't trust Premier Inn - Due to fire moved to another hotel miles away with no transport links promised would get refunded and now customer services are refusing to honour this. Manager Kelly is extremely rude.
- mirfas (8/5): Good and comfy - Generally, it was nice experience, I stayed with my family for couple of nights. The room and bathroom were spotless but not large enough as we booked family room. Plus, you can find your shampoo a conditioner and plenty of clean towels. Mattress and pillows are so comfy. Great breakfast and dinner and the staff so helpful and friendly. Only one thing I found it so pricy they could do better with price.
- Leighla62 (10/5): Great hotel, avoid the breakfast. - The hotel room was spacious, clean and quiet despite being near a busy road. The receptionist both days were really lovely. However, avoid food at the beefeater. The breakfast we had was horrific. We were expecting the usual buffet, but on arrival we were told hot food was cooked to order and there was a 30 minute wait on food. Not a great start given that we had booked a time slot on check in. But we thought it may be worth it for it to be freshly cooked. After an hour, it finally arrived. Good job we didn’t have a flight to catch. When it did eventually come, it was inedible, the scrambled eggs and beans were cold, the tomatoes and poached eggs were undercooked and the bacon was all fat. Due to the quality of the rest of the food I didn’t risk eating the sausage for fear of food poisoning. The continental breakfast was a buffet style, and on a quiet day would have been an excellent selection. However, due to the lack of staff, this quickly ran empty with no one to refill it. I left after 75 minutes having eaten 2 slices of toast.
- Lindyann2013 (8/5): 1 night - Stayed one night while at an event in Portsmouth.
There is no onsite parking, car park is a few minutes walk.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
Usual breakfast on offer.
Useful to know that there’s a Costa next door and a Tesco the other side.
- PeterGrehan (10/5): A Very Pleasant Stay - The hotel is very conveniently placed next to the station and at the centre of Portsmouth. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the bedroom was comfortably and the restaurant provided nice food.
- samhallart2013 (6/5): A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP BUT NO DINNER AFTER 8.30PM. RESTAURANT AND BAR UNDERSTAFFED. - The receptionist was courteous, friendly and helpful - but failed to tell us that the restaurant closed at 8.30pm, which meant that we had to be refunded for our meal deal - and try to find a restaurant nearby, which proved difficult. The bar closed at 9.30p and there was only one person on duty at the time. Definitely not up to most Premier Inn standards.
- Daydream45098465571 (10/5): Always a great stay at Premier Inn - Great location. Excellent staff and value.
Very cosy bed. Had a brilliant night sleep.
Was assuming because of the central location it would be noisy but was very quiet.
- 523terrih (10/5): Very friendly, welcoming staff. Highly recommended. - This has to be the friendliest welcome ever. Sharney, the manager, checked us in with a very happy smile. Nothing was too much trouble. She even gave my son a packet of biscuits! We were having trouble with the Internet, so the very kind young man on the reception desk gave me access to the ultimate package for free. The rooms are very comfortable and the food is excellent. Overall, definitely 10/10. We will definitely be back 😁
- 509cliffordf (10/5): Only staff of this calibre would make me want to visit this site again, and TALLIA, Is of the highest calibre.PERFECTION - We so far have been greeted by, and then aided by one of your fantastic staff, TALLIA.
She has been pleasant, and a delight
- joshpF3927OW (10/5): Can’t find fault - I’ve been staying at this hotel on and off for 12 weeks and cannot find a fault with the food or the staff i would like to give a special thanks to talia and Sophie for making this work trip survivable and never failing to give amazing service and show the utmost dedication to being kind, friendly and overall amazingly helpful
- Expedition634797 (6/5): A low cost but comfortable overnighter. - Overall the hotel is value for money and comfortable, it is tired and definitely a "room for the night venue" rather than a stay location. Get there early parking is limited and often blocked by vans or cordoned off areas.
Evening meals in the adjacent Beefeater Pub are fine but the cooked breakfast is poor; sloppily presented, cheap products, and very greasy - I was eating it all day! Certainly not value for money eat elsewhere if you can.
- AllanS2511 (10/5): Reunion weekend - Friend ly team who always met you with a smile.
Room was clean and bed was comfortable.
Breakfast was good
As a base for a reunion weekend it was ideal.
- 173sharonc (10/5): Hospitality at its best - Kelly & her team were welcoming on arrival, unfortunately we had a small “hiccup” with our room but Kelly was so understanding & upgraded our room as a matter of courtesy, she even left a note & chocolates in our room (she also put chocolates in our friends rooms so they didn’t feel left out lol). Thank you for making our weekend enjoyable
- HelenV306 (8/5): Unhelpful receptionist - We spent three nights in this hotel and the rooms were clean and comfortable.
We had an unfortunate issue in that we paid in advance but the computer disputed this. We were dealing with an extremely unhelpful and rude receptionist who seemed incapable of solving the problem. All praise to Luke who stepped in to help and remote problem. Also praise to Chloe for her assistance and cheerful manner during our stay.
- miklost272 (10/5): Solid Stay in Portsmouth - Stayed for a weekend and everything just worked. Room was clean, quiet, and exactly as advertised. Staff were friendly without being overbearing and check-in was quick. Beds are genuinely comfortable, parking was easy, and it’s a handy spot for getting around Portsmouth. Nothing flashy, just solid and dependable—exactly what you want from a Premier Inn.
- IvyValentin (10/5): 5 stars - Fantastic reception, amazing beautiful room. And bery comfy bed. Lovely deep bath aswell. It was a amazing and very welcoming.
- johnptgrant (8/5): Excellent Service saved booking mix up - We had a one night stay at this hotel and had excellent service from Sharney on reception. We arrived to check in only to discover that I'd made a mistake and had booked a week later than I intended. Sharney was extremely helpful and was able to amend our booking with easy. I am extremely grateful for her support and professional service. Thanks
- NWalsham (8/5): Always spotlessly clean - As usual rooms immaculately clean. There was no fuss for making up the spare bed which was greatly appreciated.
Disappointed, however, to be told it was 15.00 up from 10.00 to get in to the room 1 hour earlier than the 3pm, given we had been travelling for over four hours! Not very hospitable. This extra charge has only been in place since lockdown, prior to which we were always able to access our rooms after midday.
As regular visitors this is unnecessary and more than a little greedy.
- gavinp760 (10/5): Outstanding effort front desk team - Stayed here at the Premier Inn city centre for work over 4 days. Very clean and a great welcome by Kelly on front desk and her team. Kelly managed to resolve an issue I had and not only went above and beyond but also gave reassurance that I was in safe hands.
Great rooms and clean, carpets very tidy and bathrooms clean.
- T8060JFstevew (10/5): Convenient over night stay on the way to the airport - Stayed at premier Inn to be close to the airport when going on holiday we were very happy with the size of the room and comfort of the beds it was unfortunate for us that we could not make use of the dinner and breakfast deal as we had to leave to early but the meal in the beefeater was good 👍
- OnAir00319606827 (8/5): Great location - Really good location for both central Portsmouth and Gun Wharf
The off site parking is really close and preferred parking rate is great value
Only things I didn’t really rate were… breakfast selection was poor and limited
Tea and coffee facilities in room hadn’t been refreshed before we checked in
- quiksilverlaydee (2/5): Terrible Mould Problem - Stayed for one night with a friend. I’ll start with the good bit - the staff are lovely at check in and in the bar, very friendly.
Now the bad… the room was absolutely disgusting, black mould in the bathroom, headboard grease stains, poor wall paint job and my entire clothes smelt of damp and musty when got home. Horrendous cleaning. Won’t be staying here and 2nd Premier Inn in a month that’s been bad the brand is really not in a good place
- petram936 (10/5): Great stay - Great location, very comfortable rooms, great bathrooms, had all the amenities you could wish for. Great water pressure & toiletries, room & bathroom laid out perfectly for convenience.
- GARYBWiltshire_Uk (10/5): Perfect for the Guildhall and great staff. - Had a one night stay to go see Greg Davis at the Guildhall. Arrived too early to check in but was able to leave our bags and check in later. Great service from the lady on reception, sorry didn’t get a name- long black hair and glasses. She recommended a place to go for drinks and showed an interest in our theatre booking. Great service. Thanks. Room was fine. Stayed on level 3 and breakfast was great too. Great location for the Guildhall, a 2 min walk. Would come again.
- Sightseer442639 (10/5): Premier Inn always a good stay - Stayed for 2 nights this week, The gentleman in reception when we arrived couldn’t have been more helpful, we was finishing for 3 months for a big operation so would like to wish him well. The rooms were as expected (in a good way) always enjoy a Premier Inn breakfast. Only let down by the breakfast in the adjacent Beefeater, very limited continental breakfast no pastries whatsoever ended up having just cereal and toast. Had to send bacon and hash browns back from another breakfast as they were very over done and rock hard. This is the only thing I can complain about
- Culture22608638561 (10/5): Warm welcome at Premier Inn - We had a brilliant experience in Premier Inn, with clean rooms, all our needs catered for and a special shout out goes to the lovely receptionist on the night of 11th August, who made us feel very welcome. It's always nice to see a friendly smile after a long day :)
- stevenkQ1229TV (10/5): Great hotel - Great hotel, had 3 nights hear, staff friendly room really clean and quiet bathroom immaculately clean. Nice bed. All in all had a great stay Highley recommended.
- Manuhiri_9 (10/5): Friendly Clean Hotel - Great Premier Inn. Friendly staff clean comfortable room in a good location very handy for seeing the area. Beefeater restaurant attached serving pub grub
- angellD5690EY (10/5): Enjoyable stay - Great hotel with free car parking. The staff are very efficient and lovely (couldn’t do enough for you). The rooms were clean and adequate. We had breakfast next door, which was cooked to order, lovely and hot. There are two supermarkets nearby and Mc Donald’s next too. We enjoyed our stay.
- 180yint (10/5): Ideal for Business Travel - Stayed at the Premier Inn Bournemouth Ferndown for a business trip, and it was perfect for my needs. The room was comfortable, which made it easy to work in the comfort of my room. The hotel is in a quiet location but still close to the business hubs in the area. The staff were professional and efficient, making my stay seamless.
- Goatadvisor (6/5): Room was to Hot. - The was not air conditioning in the room which made the nights sleep unbearable, two small fans were provided which all it did was to blow the warm air around the room.
- J2027ZElisah (10/5): Nice hotel - This hotel is not far from Bournemouth and the New Forest. The room was very clean and staff friendly yet professional. Highly recommended.
- V2018VZmichellek (10/5): Visiting UK with family - This hotel was a pleasant surprise. Quiet surroundings but still close enough to Bournemouth’s attractions. The check-in was smooth, parking was free and convenient, and the attached restaurant served a delicious breakfast. The room had everything we needed, and the blackout curtains made it easy to get a good night’s sleep. Highly recommended for both families and business travelers.
