Guest Reviews
- ianrS2395RM (10/5): Clean and today and lost of milk - Very clean and welcoming.. Enough condiments and essentials. Keep up the good work. The extra pillows were a dream and very comfortable
- Secretsleep (10/5): Excellent - It is the best premier inn I have ever stayed in. The lady with fair hair and the gentleman who were in reception on Saturday and Sunday evening (22-23/11) were so friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The rooms were comfortable and very clean. The location could not have been better. I was very impressed and very happy with everything.
- B9477ACjoed (10/5): Altering My Booking - Raji was fantastic. I needed to alter my booking for a business trip and she was so polite and helpful and I was able to get full refund on the booking that I no longer needed. What a star!
- blondesmiles94 (10/5): Handy central location and lovely staff - Ideal location so close to Birmingham New Street Station and the Priory Rooms where my meeting was being held. I had a gorgeous view over the Christmas Market which helped me feel right at home. The hotel room was clean, the bed comfortable, a bath plus powerful shower and there was even a small Christmassy pin badge left to 'get you in the spirit' - a very nice touch.
When I arrived, sadly one of the staff members, (I think called Pauline), was handling a very difficult customer who was kicking up a fuss about the check-in machines being broken and a small (but fixable) admin error that had occurred. Pauline remained professional, reminding the customer that no one comes to work to be shouted at and also proceeded to check me in efficiently and kindly. I wish Pauline well and hope her hard work and professionalism is recognised - and that she is aware of the multiple other customers who are grateful for her.
To all other customers, who may stay at this Premier Inn or not, I urge everyone to be kind and maintain perspective. There are a lot of things wrong with this world, but a minor check-in delay is not even in my top 100.
- scarfmaker1301 (10/5): Premier Inn Blackpool Airport - Brilliant nights stay fabulous food in wacky next door. Amazing cooked breakfast. Staff very helpful comfy beds & lovely & clean. We will certainly book there again.
- Cruiser732186 (6/5): Not great - Noisy room, didn't sleep well due to lorries reversing beepers, bottle bins being emptied very early, not good... breakfast: mushrooms cold, black pudding cremated and poor quality sausages.....
- Finlays_folks (6/5): Basic hotel, terrible WiFi - Premier Inn needs to step up. There have been no real upgrades to this brand in years. Offering free WiFi at 1 Mbps is a joke in the modern world. Breakfast was good and the pub next door offered standard average food but at a reasonable price.
- 565timg (6/5): Storing bag for medical purposes in freezer - Very good overall
Only gripe is I have medication which has to be stored in fridge which was provided
However I need to freeze pouch to put in cooler bag to take medication home
Luckily I had a friend who lived locally to store it in freezer
I have stayed at many hotels and they all have freezers available to store the pouch and I was dismayed to hear that this hotel had hasn’t even heard of this and refused to store it in freezer as it may contaminate food
I thought a clean plastic bag would resolve this but they would not budge
- mattwin13 (10/5): Perfect city centre stay - Stayed here after a night out in Birmingham.
Perfect location with loads of nearby bars. I had an internal room and didn't hear any noise at all during the night.
5 minutes walk to New Street Station and 5 minutes walk to the nearest carpark (I got the train, my friend drove)
Easy quick check in. Friendly staff. I was given a free bottle of water in the morning from reception as the vending machine in the lobby only accepted card payments and I only had cash.
Everything a Premier Inn should be.
- Sherpa16197427446 (10/5): Friendly staff - The staff at this hotel have been amazing so friendly and helpful and fun, thank you so much for making our stay enjoyable
- Y1709UMstephanies (10/5): BEST STAFF - SERVICE SUPPORT 5***** plus. - Staff are the best, friendly and helpful, sharing vouchers for free drinks and discounts for bar next door. We lost our home keys and Rajj helped get them sent to our home. The team are absolute stars. We always stay in a prem. Inn, so we will be back. Excellent location of Waterloo one, too.
- JoBri67 (8/5): Does what it says … - Stayed here for 1 night as going to a show in Blackpool & didn’t want to stay in town. Know the area as have friends live St Anne’s so knew proximity to Starr Gate for trams. Good option as free parking which wasn’t the car for other options. Immediate area a little run down & this isn’t one of newer modernised Inns but it was clean, functional & reception on check in & check out both lovely ladies. Very quiet so had a great sleep. Avoid the pub next door … only nipped in for drinks but it needed a good clean & staff who could be bothered!
- sweatyhetti (10/5): Don’t judge this book by its cover - Reception staff were exemplary throughout our stay. Breakfast was great. The location was good for the city attractions and transport links.
- always_harry_potter (10/5): Amazing hotel - Room was comfortable and very clean. Staff were welcoming and very helpful. Could not fault them, will be staying again
- U3890PIjackieh (10/5): Phenomenal! - The people and rooms were phenomenal. Everyone was not only polite, but accommodating as well. Definitely will be coming back, one of my top picks of a hotel.
- chucksh2025 (10/5): Amazing staff - The staff was wonderful and extremely helpful during my stay! Will come again. Everyone was extremely polite and everything was clean. Everyone was reasonable and completely levelled in expectation.
- christdinab (10/5): Halloween spooktacular at waterloo - Great location, Team are very helpful nothing is too much. We loved the Halloween on reception and the gifts/treats in rooms. We couldn't ask for a better stay
- J1583DHlaurag (10/5): Great hotel - We had a lovely experience. We had paid for early check in and were warmly greeted. Plenty of car park spaces. Our room was spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable. The bed was amazing with plenty of extra bedding if we needed it. Good shower and good size bathroom. Not far from the bus stop and tram station so good access to Blackpool. Very quiet just what we needed
- 683salikr (2/5): Tina - Me and my partner come to this hotel every month for her uni and we had no problem at all and always have done late out but this time reception team ( Tina ) said she had been here for 10 years and they had never done late out in this hotel that just baffled me .why would you lie to a paying customer like that i work in hotel myself and to be able to lie to guests like that so that makes her job easier is not good for the company .when i challenged her she started to change her answer to oh because we have early in. I told her every company does early in/late out she said not with premier inn. This is the last time we will be using your service Thank you
- Shortcake (8/5): A great stay! - All staff we met were polite and friendly. Check in was very quick and we got rooms opposite each other as requested (family of 4 adults). Rooms very clean, up to Premier Inn's usual very high standard. One room was on the airport side of the hotel, first floor (no lift) and we heard very little noise at all, only the occasional sound of the air ambulance helicopter being started up in the morning, which didn't worry us at all. View was of the airfield, no planes taking off at all, just the helicopter. Unfortunately we found on the first day that one of the panels beside the bed wasn't working (reading light, phone charger usb socket) so I reported it straight away, it wasn't fixed at all during our stay, despite reporting it every day that week. Being disabled, it would have helped to have a light beside the bed instead of having to use my phone light. Our second room was facing the front and was quiet, only a bit of traffic noise which didn't worry us. This Premier Inn is in a good location, with a Morrisons about 5 minutes drive away, where we had breakfast 3 out of the 4 mornings we were there. 4th morning we had breakfast at the Premier Inn, this was very good with plenty of choice.
- sarahbG4696KL (6/5): Below average (apart from breakfast!) - Looks nice on the outside….
But that’s about it. The reception and breakfast room had been obviously decorated to a high standard but the reception staff lacked warmth and were very “professional” (almost detached). The rooms had broken sockets/usb ports. There was a lack of plugs near the bed meaning if you rely on cpaps you need a network of extension sockets (one was obtained from reception but treated as an unusual request?)
Room also had a lot of dings and shabby places (helpfully hidden by bins and things) but was clean and the bed was comfortable.
The shining star of this place was chef and his team. Breakfast was a pleasure, you were treated so well as soon as you walked in, cheerful greetings, a bit of warmth and friendly conversation and a genuinely lovely team. They were so efficient - that place ran like a dream and the food was fantastic. If all the staff were as friendly as them the hotel would be a lovelier place.
- R5943TGannt (10/5): Very good hotel - Have stayed at this hotel a few times now and we always have found all of the staff really helpful. We go by train and leave our luggage in their secure room until check in time.
When we do check in we have never had to wait very long and always had a good clean room.there is always a supply of tea making facilities available. e.g extra tea and coffee etc.
And have always felt safe coming back to the hotel after a evening out.
Breakfast the next day was very good and plates etc cleared regularly.
I will be booking this hotel again.
- Jet26397307865 (10/5): Waterloo st premier inn - Staff brilliant and for me the room windows open which was a plus good breakfast and had dinner one night in restaurant which again as good
- amandag874 (6/5): Disappointed stay at Premier inn Birmingham - Stayed here 4/5 October, staff were loverly & friendly and made you very welcome. Seems a though they have some issues with the drains and was not very pleasant smell in the bathroom. Paid for breakfast on the Sunday morning but due to issue at one of the hotels breakfast was cancelled & said refund would be issued in the next 5days, 10 days have passed, several phone calls still waiting for my refund. Quick on taking your money but difficult getting it back.
- Family-Travelling202 (8/5): Nice for a base. - Typical premier inn. Decent enough room, and location a 10 minute walk to stargate for a tram. Bus stop out side. Best thing is plenty free parking at the hotel. Stayed three nights. Breakfast in the airbaloon pub next door.
- merrillk2025 (10/5): One of the best in the city. - Great hotel. Welcoming, clean, modern and very competitive on price. Location is perfect and will definitely make this our new regular when we visit from now on.
- hopelucy87 (4/5): Awful nights sleep - Couldn't sleep all night due to unbearable heat, flashing lights positioned directly above the bed for some reason and all the noise. The breakfast service was very nice though, 2 lovely gents.
- 499jill (4/5): Very noisy - So noisy we didn’t get to sleep until gone midnight as the premier is opposite late night clubs and bars,
It’s a shame we were not told about the noise level before we booked as we would not have stayed at this premier.. other than that the reception staff are lovely and the room was very clean.
Restaurant staff were not so friendly unfortunately and quite abrupt.
- Burnleypeter2021 (10/5): Great hotel - Where can I start .. we were greeted by a friendly member of staff at check in and given our room .. our room was very clean and comfortable the only downside was it had a over bath shower and not a walk in which I struggle with having restricted mobility and chronic pain .. other than that our stay was very good but the breakfast In the morning was not great.. food quality for these places has gone down and no proper hot drinks machine in the restaurant and when I asked got told u can help yourself to the one by the bar but no proper hot drinks machine by the breakfast bar area and the cooked breakfast was rubbish and portion sizes were poor too both me and my wife won't ever eat the premier inn cooked breakfast again
- Poppy_white286 (8/5): Fab stay... - Stayed here for the night as a family of four, just while visiting some local Blackpool attractions.
The room was clean and the receptionist was very friendly and helpful. The only things that we could criticise with our room was the shower- the rainfall shower head was very loose, but wasn't a huge issue. Also, the heating/cooling system in our room was broken, so we woke up in the night feeling very hot. It would be nice if that was fixed. (Room Six)
The breakfast room was fabulous- the staff were attentive, the food was great, and the room itself was very clean.
Overall, a great stay, and somewhere we'd definitely stay again.
Thank you!
- tommymT5667OT (6/5): Disappointed of attitude of reception staff or one in particular, the young lady was very polite couldn’t book me in. - After a 10 drive and arriving at 1.15pm.i was told there was a £15
early check-in fee ,im 73yrs of age and thought it was a bit much to pay for 1hr45mins.
A little bit of leeway?
Not happy.
- fionnualas700 (10/5): Home away from home with a little bit of luxury. - Felt so at home at arrival. The receptionist on duty was so kind and helpful as well as being accommodating in finding me a room to suit my needs. She really looked like she loved her job. Throughout my stay she was friendly as I walked past the desk. The room was spacious and quiet and inviting.
- HalfwaytoheavenCafe (4/5): Had to leave early - Room not very clean - dust on furniture and hair in bathroom.
Room above mine had noisy floorboards and every step from the occupier kept me awake - Tuesday night resulted in the girls in the next room playing music and screaming at each other. I left the hotel a night earlier than planned - I asked customer services for a refund for the last night and this was refused as I had failed to make a complaint at 3am rather than 7.30am so their good nights sleep guarantee is not to be believed
- jims848 (4/5): Poor experience in an accessibility room, poor breakfast - Room 2 is an accessibility room. They have two. Bed was terrible - way too low and soft, plus two narrow. Our backs were sore after three nights stay. Car parking was great. Breakfast was poor - very limited. Staff were friendly and helpful. No issues with the staff and service, but management needs to fix this.
- 276florencer (10/5): Wy go anywhere else when you could go to Premier Inn - We use Premier Inn exclusively. We love the security of knowing we are going to have spacious clean accommodation, which is needed as my husband isa wheelchair user. The breakfasts are amazing especially the continental choice. The evening meals are equal in quality. And then there are the staff, in all the Premier Inns we've visited the staff are second to non.
This stay has been in Blackpool East, it's a short distance from the motorway. But be careful Google SatNav gets lost at the last roundabout look for the B&Q sign head towards that and you'll see the hotel. There is a 15 min drive into Blackpool but it's strait forward and there's lots of car parks. I'd recommend the Central multi story it's a short walk to the tower. I'd recommend it to all,
it is a secure car park, they have a dedicated floor for blue badge holders but you will have to pay
- Paradise22347325393 (10/5): Perfect for an overnight stay - We used this hotel the night before a flying lesson at the airport for convenience and value for money, but I'd definitely stay there as a base before heading into Blackpool. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, both in person and on the phone, the room and all facilities were clean and more than adequate for an overnight stay, and the location just outside Blackpool, next to a handy pub, at a very reasonable rate, is ideal. Can't fault a premier inn IMO!!
- 587mattyc (8/5): Not good - Nice hotel reception really good the two rooms I had booked we very very dirty hairs in the bath mirrors has marks on the tv very very dusty headboard was vile i had to clean the room my self I feel the house keepers need a lot more training on how to clean very disappointed with premier inn blackpool
- Z5151YWmartinp (6/5): one night stay - I have stayed at the Premier Inn Blackpool Airport Hotel several times so easy to catch my coach at 6am for my holidays.
I stayed they from 08.08.2025 -09.08.2025 everywhere was clean and comfortable, for some reason I had a disability room and I dont have a disablity and the shower did not work but will be staying there again highly recomend
- F8752GBjonb (10/5): 3 night stay - I have just spent three days with my two children, on arrival everything was smooth, the room was one of the cleanest I've ever stayed in. Although it's an airport location, there's minimal noise with nothing at night and to be honest my kids found seeing the odd helicopter land exciting.
The down side is the breakfast in the Hot air balloon pub next door. With only instant coffee on offer and not the most welcoming breakfast host.
But I would still recommend this hotel, for us it's location was great, being only a few minutes drive from the pleasure beach and other attractions.
Supermarkets are on your doorstep with others like MC Donald's.
- J3648MSvalerief (4/5): Not quick at providing refunds - Book one night with breakfast, found out last minute that our coach for our holiday was picking us up at 5.45am so too early for breakfast. The lady on reception took all full payment and told us she would sort out the refund for the breakfast. I have been chasing my refund for breakfast since 9th Aug 25 and still not received it as if August 28th 25 not happy at all!
- Flyer166549 (10/5): Great hotel and location - Lovely receptionist checked us in very quickly and explained where our room was and also told us about the breakfast available from 6.30am in the morning. Nice quiet hotel with lots of parking available and the vast choice of breakfast available was amazing as per usual. Comfy beds and great shower with the added bonus of a fan in the room as it was extremely warm. Will definitely stay again
- colind628 (10/5): Outstanding - Another brilliant stay at our favourite Premier inn.
Jesy and her team really are the best.. Had a chat on the phone with her a couple of days before we arrived because I`d messed up the booking details. Jesy sorted things out and there was even a little gift in our room as it was a special occasion.
Rooms are always spotless and fresh and exactly what we need.
Staff always take the time to chat and ask where youve been that day ...its just a nice atmosphere.
Great links to public transport and maybe a 15 min walk to the beech and tram station.
Three local pubs are within walking distance with The Air Balloon right next door.
There is a Lidl next door and a Morrisons and retail park about 10/min walk away.
Definitely our favourite Premier inn and we are back in a couple of weeks.
- Go48072196119 (10/5): Excellent stay - Great location, 15 minutes from the city centre. Plenty of car parking available. Staff friendly. Room clean and more than big enough for the 2 adults that stayed, could have also got a child/teenager in the room and the single bed was a proper bed rather than a sofa bed. Great shower as well which is rare in a hotel! Body wash provided.
- skiptotravel (10/5): Weekend visit - Weekend family visit so the young ones could go on rides and to the circus.
Hotel staff re very helpful and nothing is too much trouble.
We had adjacent rooms, which were clean and comfortable.
As with most premier inn visits everything you need for a short visit it there, even a fan on a stand.
We had rooms at the back of the hotel which were quiet and no noise from inside.
The hotel is ideally located for the tram and just far enough from the mayhem of Blackpool.
Plenty of car parking space.
Thoroughly recommend.
- grantsQ4006AQ (10/5): Very good stay - I stayed with my son and was very happy with all aspects of our stay. The breakfast was very good value for money especially with their policy of kids eating for free. Would definitely stay again.
- JMBlondie (2/5): Not The Best! - Room far too hot even with the fans on, they just blew hot air around!
We went to the connecting pub next door for brekkie, big mistake! Awful cold food, just cooked bits, nothing else to choose from. Not even jug of water available for non tea/coffee drinkers!
Turns out that it wasn’t a part of the Premier Inn set up. Usually it is and there even was a connecting door between the two properties. Receptionist never told us this when we checked in.
Later we were told there is a breakfast room in the Premier Inn building. We had a quick look - it’s 2 bedrooms knocked together to make the room, so very small for a hotel that size plus it was boiling hot in there.
Even the staff member (lovely lady) told us there should be better signage throughout the hotel.
As a regular Premier Inn customer we were disappointed with this one.
- cherylinc2015 (10/5): Family airshow weekend - Very good service from start to finish. Enjoyed our stay very much, very close to airport, shops and tram service. Hot air balloon a good restaurant too.
- philjb8 (10/5): Lovely stay shame about the breakfast - Great staff,very helpfull ,lovely clean room.brilliant with the children would stay again. Could not fault it. Only let down was the breakfast at the Air ballon .It was terrible .premium pork sausage had never seen pork, poor quality food, service was bad and you were rushed . Breakfast served 7 til 9, but if you were not staying at the hotel it was 11am. Place was not clean ,next we will go to Morrisons which is just down the road . It is a shame its not a beefeater as a lot better quality and service than hungary horse.
- 673beverleyc (10/5): excellent stay - Excellent stay. All the staff were very helpful from reception to breakfast staff and cleaners. All the staff were friendly polite and seemed very happy in their work. The food was very fresh, good quality, excellent selection. The room was clean and comfortable. I will be definitely staying again.
- 142bethanj (10/5): Amazing - Great hotel perfect for a family getaway. Nice and clean with very helpful kind staff would definitely come again and again
- Daydream59411790523 (4/5): Satan's arm pit - The staff r friendly and kind but if like boiling alive in ur room then its the perfect place to stay the whole family had an awful sleep
- S83FKdebbieh (2/5): - Room was like an oven, resulted in next to no sleep. Pillows smelt horrible too. First time I’ve been disappointed by premier inn
- 526gs526 (8/5): Exactly what you expect from a premier inn - Ideal positioning for a trip to Blackpool. Got a room on the ground floor which is ideal for kids. Comfy beds and a quiet night. Exactly what you need after a long drive.
- OzYorkshire (8/5): Good hotel, terrible pub. - The hotel is as good as you would normally get at a Premier, clean, nice staff etc but the biggest let down was the so called pub next door, tried to get a drink at 10.10 pm and was told last orders were 10pm……it’s Blackpool !
Went in the pub for breakfast, what a sorry excuse for a dining experience, my wife wanted soft boiled eggs, they were so uncooked they were inedible and served in a sauce bowl not egg cup, the tables were filthy, the girl taking orders was more interested in her phone than customer service, I know this is not a premier inn pub but they should do quality checks surely.
So all in all hotel good but pub next door absolutely abysmal
- Wannabetogethers (8/5): Good stay, nice staff, good transport links, no WiFi - Arrived 20 minutes early but had to wait until official check in time. Staff friendly enough, room clean. Pub next door. Bus and train service a short walk away. Quiet at night so slept well.
WiFi both free and Ultimate (which I paid extra for) did not work, didn’t have time to discuss with staff to reboot their server, so sent an email to address on booking confirmation, they just said contact Premier Inn directly….no time for that unfortunately, probably won’t pay for Ultimate WiFi going forward.
- 904glynt (10/5): Very good - We had a lovely time here we have been several times over the years and find the premier inn good value and always very clean
- Sunshine41151 (10/5): Blackpool Airport Great Service - The most helpful of staff always available and smiling. The manager could not have done more to help my bookings. The room was also super quiet and felt very looked after!
- craigdH4691KL (10/5): Great Sleep - Upon on arrival greeted with a friendly smile and booking in was straightforward.,After a great night sleep breakfast was fresh and hot. Fantastic poached eggs nice and runny yolks.
Just what was needed to start my day
- lisahainsworth (10/5): Friendly staff - We visited Blackpool for a conference at the Winter Gardens. We wanted to be close to travel in each day but not right in the centre.
This was a great location, breakfast was nice, staff were friendly.
I used the pub on the checkout day to do some work, they were happy for me to sit in the corner and plug my laptop in..
premier inn reception did say I was more than welcome to use the breakfast room if the pub couldn’t accommodate me.
Thank you
- pattykane1958 (10/5): Great nights sleep - Bed very comfortable and great to have a choice of pillows. Spotlessly clean and the room was spacious.We will definitely stay here again
