Guest Reviews
- johnappleby71 (10/5): First impressions count.... - Kirsty was lovely on reception. Helped with my luggage and getting me in the room.
Explained about parking, eating and the local area.
The room is very modern and well presented.
Overall, much better experience than o expected.
Well done Kirsty and the colleagues at Premier Inn Plymouth.
- t0astiem (4/5): Entered our room without permission - We were told nobody would enter our room during our stay as we declined to have room cleaned as only staying 2nights.we borrowed an iron and board from a room full of them. We went out for the day and when we returned we found someone had been into our room a removed the iron and board. When we spoke to the receptionist she said’oh sorry no idea why as we have plenty’ no real apology. The crumpets at breakfast had visible mold on them.
- RonBarber (8/5): Good - Liked most of the upgrades to prem plus rooms. Missed a trick by not fitting any shower trays as opposed to shower over a bath (hence only 4 stars). Room prepared by Kerry, would give 5 stars for her.

- Q4998TDstevew (10/5): Pleasant Stay - Recently spent 2 nights with family at this hotel. The service received from arrival to departure was very professional and courteous, in particular would like to mention receptionist Cassidy for her cheerful demeanour and valuable assistance. Would definitely recommend this hotel.
- B3025UYstevenw (10/5): Great stay at Plymouth east - Great hotel. Loved the crisp on reception left from the team.
Cassidy was also really friendly and helpful. Will be back
- 13lukeoz (10/5): Exceptional stay – Premier Inn at its best! - Had an incredible stay, Jordana was brilliant and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. The hotel was very clean and tidy, everything worked in our room aswell which is a first.
- 87elliotm (10/5): Couples weekend away - Honestly didn’t expect much when I booked but ended up having such a good stay thanks to Jordana, the manager.
She was honestly unreal super friendly, actually cared, and went out of her way to help with a couple things that just made the stay way better than I expected.
Just little things made a massive difference. The place itself was nice, but Jordana honestly made it feel way more welcoming.
- OnAir24348172757 (10/5): Excellent stay — great value and comfort! - I had a really pleasant stay at this Premier Inn. The room was spotless, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and everything felt modern and well-maintained. The staff were friendly and welcoming from check-in to check-out, and they went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed. Special shout to Jordana for going out of her her way to make sure we were happy and settled in.
- gavincJ6752LT (10/5): Very good stay - Tasha and Jordana were both very helpful. The room was very tidy and comfortable.

- davidjH1606KW (10/5): Over and above expectations, at very short notice. - We arrived in Plymouth in the small hours of the morning after a dreadful 8+ hour journey, which had been disrupted by two detours caused by motorway closures. For one of those, we had experienced all sorts of problems following convoluted diversion signs. We already had a booking at a self-catering location, but were unable to park. We are both of retirement age, and, by the time we decided to give up and approach Premier Inn without a prior booking, we were both exhausted and quite frustrated.
Dawn, the night receptionist at Plymouth East Premier Inn, could not do enough for us. We hadn't eaten, so she heated the two ready meals we had purchased and brought them to our room. Really, she could not do enough for us.
Then, we had a really good night's sleep and are fully grateful that Premier Inn, through Dawn, could look after us at such short notice. Thank you.
- maxoJ7667AS (10/5): Great experience - Come down here a lot for business. Not the best with new places but Cassidy has been an absolute star. She has been extremely helpful and kind and has made the experience even better
- Z2588QXruthb (8/5): A pleasant stay - This was a pleasant stay whilst exploring Plymouth for a few days. My room was clean and tidy although I did feel there was a lack of storage space with the wardrobe design (one shelf in essence and a few hangers). The room was incredibly warm across all three nights even with the fan provided and the road noise prevented me from having the window open. The pressure in the sink tap was poor but the shower was fine. There is a good sized car park and you input your registration at reception to avoid being charged. The car park could be busy in the evenings with the overflow from the Beefeater so a late arrival could struggke for a space. The Beefeater used for breakfast is tired and dated and blasted out Heart radio. On each morning there were dirty mugs, plates and cups in with the "clean" which was poor.
- angiet150 (8/5): Good easy access - First time staying at this Premier Inn. Friendly efficient check in, ample parking. Room was fresh and clean and looks as if it has had a recent refresh compared to some we've stayed in. Lovely tv, decent mirror light, hair dryer etc comfortable chairs and comfy bed. Only niggle is the air con, just can't get our heads around it. Window did open but far too noisy. We resorted to the fan on a low setting all night but it wasn't the most comfortable sleep. Breakfast was good. I see that most inns now are putting out large dishes of yoghurt which I personally don't like much prefer a pot to myself - is this a cost cutting move ?!!! Easy access and would probably stay again coming off the ferry !
- kayleighc674 (10/5): Warm welcome and great stay - Lovely warm welcome from receptionist Kirsty. She was super helpful and accommodating. Made me feel welcome instantly.
Lovely stay-great clean room and food was lovely. Would definitely recommend
- OnAir03605604099 (10/5): Very clean hotel and lovely staff! - My room was very clean.Kirsty was very helpful and friendly to me and helped me find places to visit around the city. Overall, the atmosphere was very nice to be in.
- emilylV9325UG (10/5): Good staff - Really nice hotel, every staff member in hotel and beefeater were amazing and friendly.
i would like to give a special mention to Kirsty who was so friendly upon check in and helped bring a iron and ironing board to our room to save us carrying it up the stairs
- garyhF555YQ (10/5): Great! - Great hotel, nice rooms, awesome staff especially Kirsty ! Added bonus of a huge car park for our big vans, it is free however don’t forget to register your number plate.
- Ashfamily1818 (4/5): Not good . - Needs a refurbished, smelly rooms and not very good heating. "………………….."………………………………………………………………………."…………………….
- D7051BNjosephines (10/5): Beautiful hotel - Checked into this bougie premier inn, nicest one I’ve been too with the super cool chairs and plants in reception. I think premier inn should have these available to buy like the beds.
Lovely lady called Kirsty checked us in, she delivers amazing customer service, making our children feel involved in the check in process and giving them bubbles.
The rooms were spacious and clean. We even had colouring books left in the room. They also had children’s books in reception that children can borrow for bedtime.
Brilliant premier inn!! Highly recommend.
- Z3041UBgeorgeh (10/5): Business Visit - When checking in Cassidy was very welcoming and polite. The room I was given had clearly had a recent refresh and was clean and presentable.
- Departure15511882164 (2/5): Shabby place with poor service. - Handy location, rooms are fine, feel overall is tired and shabby. Make sure you don't use the Brewers Fayre though, very poor food and service is comically bad.
- martincQ2427TW (4/5): Wry disappointing stay - A disappointing experience, whilst the staff were very pleasant the corridors and room were very tired and we couldn’t stay in the first room as someone had thrown a blank of wood through the window. Whilst we were accommodated with a new room the TV didn’t work and there was no air on. A very noisy fan was provided but the noise made sleeping quite a challenge. The TV did get sorted however the room smelt of wet dog which was unpleasant. I have stayed in many premier inns and this one was not great, I wouldn’t return and will think twice about booking a premier inn again, it feels like their standards are slipping.
- readikus (2/5): Average - Average Premier Inn, but the attached bar doesn’t align with the advertised opening hours. This is such a simple thing that they have full control over, so a very lazy thing not to do that creates an inconvenience for visitors. Also doesn’t go down well when smugly told by the hotel staff that the bar has just closed.
- 60lizziel (8/5): Standard premier inn - We stayed on a Sunday night in September.
The check in process was simple and the receptionist was friendly.
The room was clean and had all the amenities you expect from a premier inn.
The only downside was that the room was very warm. The thermostat on the wall read between 24-26 degrees during our stay. There wasn't any AC or central cooling so the thermostat only affected the heater. There was a fan in the room, but the window had an opening-limiter so there was no real way to cool the room down. There hadn't been any recent heatwave so it was pretty normal September weather.
- Veggie911 (8/5): Staff are great - You know me, only review if it’s really good or really bad…The hotel is ok, acceptable. The hotel staff, particularly Monica, makes this place great. When we came in, another guest was being very grumpy and somewhat aggressive with her, she did her very best to help him, remaining courteous and pleasant the whole time. She helped get us a room closer to the entrance without being asked as she noticed my mobility problems, always cheerful and smiling, recommended places to eat locally... Staff like this, who are really good at their job and really care about customer experience, are few and far between. Premier Inn, keep this lady, give her a pay rise, SHE makes your hotel somewhere people want to come!
- lynnesT3206ZV (10/5): would recommend, not only is this a lovely hotel its in an easy to get to quiet area! - i only have great reviews for this hotel! always a pleasure to come down for events and have the comfort of a great hotel thats familiar!
- Suzanne216692 (10/5): Welcoming and friendly staff - My colleague and I stayed due to going to Ladies Day at Pontefract races in early August. we had a meal in the evening. The staff at the hotel were really friendly. A shout out to Sarah H who was so helpful regarding any questions from taxis to car parking, the wine and more. thank you
- Trail535184 (6/5): Ok but not great - Good price, comfortable bed and friendly staff.
Food was ok, not great but as expected.
Shower was not clean enough and the hotel corridors smell of teenage bedrooms
- Z6955LRpaulw (10/5): i would go back their I really enjoyed the stay as well the staff was extremely nice an perlity as well an well presente - i would go back their I really enjoyed the stay as well the staff was extremely nice an perlity as well an well presented as well
- J_Craine279 (10/5): Good nights sleep and a nice play area for the kids - Staff were very friendly and welcoming. There’s a huge indoor kids play area at the restaurant that looked brilliant although we didn’t get a chance to try it out as it was closing.
Very peaceful evening and a good nights rest.
Wasn’t keen on the breakfast as way to salty for my taste and not worth the price in my opinion but the dinner was enjoyable
- Maps670412 (2/5): Awful experience - I'm not sure if we just got a bad room or if the entire hotel is like this, but our experience was disappointing. We booked a family room, and as soon as we opened the door, we were greeted by a horrible smell, like someone had been in the room for a week without showering. The fan was the dirtiest I've ever seen.
The bathroom also had a strong odor of urine, and the shower curtain was filthy. After calling reception, they sent someone to change the fan and spray the room. (Not sure what this was supposed to achieve)
Unfortunately, my daughter and I ended up with several bites on our arms. To say we were disappointed with our room would be an understatement.
- wattakulla (8/5): Will stay there again. - Couldn't fault our room for the 2 nights we stayed. The breakfast buffet had everything you'd expect to see, the cooked section was very good quality.
However, the 2 nights we stayed there were no ales! I was told the only two they appeared to have weren't quite ready because the fresh delivery hadn't settled enough before they could be served. Lager was over represented here with about 6 different on tap, Strongbow cider one fruity and Guinness which was absolutely tasteless and is the brewers fault not the hotel.
I think the food menu had a good selection to suit most people and we enjoyed what we had. The only let down was all five menu cards on our table were greasy as hell inside and out, full of oily fingerprints and food residue, I took them to the bar and the lad said he'd bring fresh ones, when he brought them over we found they were the same ones which they'd crudely wiped over.
The star of the show was Cloe, a very pleasant and attentive waitress providing us with excellent service and who took time to chat and was genuinely interested in us.
- P5130HGdavids (8/5): Stop over to split journey - Bed was very comfy but room too hot as no air-conditioning.
We went for the meal deal but menu choice was very poor for the evening meal and very slow service had to ask waitress where the meal was.
Breakfast was usual premier inn standard ok but nothing special
- D8957MBjordanh (10/5): so welcoming and clean hotel! - Room was spotless! Couldn’t fault it, Courtney I think her name was, she was amazing and friendly, welcoming and a big smile on her face. She is a credit to the company so well done. Lovely pillows and although very warm a clean fan was provided. Amazing thankyou so much
- leeh165 (6/5): Riverdance - The hotel is loca near l to most amenities
There is a bar and a restaurant on site
The hotel is within a few miles of Pontefract racecourse
- matthewdominicb (8/5): Useful stop off - Usually Premier Inn experience: recently decorated and with advantage of walk in shower which is a welcome advance on the bath and shower curtain of older premier inns. Convenient location for A1 and M62 but in the middle of nowhere. It really functions as a useful stop off. Plenty of parking.
- D7920PKadamm (4/5): Avoid if possible - Not a proper Premier Inn Breakfast and not a smooth check in. Not even a comfortable mattress. I will not use again. The only good bit was the location. Normally good for you know what you are getting - it was certainly not like a normal premier inn.
- Quest41157103531 (10/5): Great hotel - Excellent value for money. Rooms clean &, bed so comfy.
Staff are lovely &, friendly.
Brewers fayre attached is good however they do close much earlier than stated on website
- Destination544741 (8/5): So many good things - Bedroom, Hotel. Restaurant etc all fine.
Evening meal deep fried with breadcrumbs....
On East side of Leeds great position to get North-South and equally East-West. Yes I would stay there again but possibly alternate eating in and out.
- H1528SJmarkk (4/5): Wi-Fi - what Wi-Fi ? - The Wi-Fi let this place down. I can accept a poor phone signal - which is flagged - BUT in the 21st Century I cant accept a dismal and unstable Wi-Fi connection -
There are no excuses for this
