Guest Reviews

• 418timc (10/5): Quality - again - Premier Inn is always a quality experience. This one is perfectly placed to visit family. After a 6/7 hour drive a room with an assured night’s sleep is very welcome. The shower was outstanding - spacious, easy controls and up to heat immediately.
• debrafarrar (10/5): One of the best premier inns - Lovely, super friendly staff, both in reception and the breakfast room. excellent value for money, everything you could possibly want or need. Room was spotless, breakfast absolutely fantastic, cooked to perfection by a lovely friendly lady. Reception staff were so helpful, letting us know nice places to visit. Will definitely be staying again and would recommend to all.
• J4884HQjohnh (10/5): Excellent value for money. Perfect location for town and easy to access - This is the second time I have been to this Premier Inn. Its clean and comfortable. Location is perfect in the town centre. Despite being in the town there is little external noise so its quiet. Parking in St Johns nearby was very easy and also reasonably priced; I wish more towns and cities were so easy and sensibly priced. The staff were very helpful and friendly .Will go again
• 155edwinaw (10/5): Welcoming and friendly - Staff at this Premier Inn were so helpful and friendly. We had booked an early check-in and requested a ground floor room near to reception. B9th requests were met. Bridget on reception was very welcoming and despite a very short window to get our room ready, everything was clean, neat and comfortable. Food at the Blue Cap was excellent too!
• davehX9269XT (4/5): Hardly Premier - There always seems to be an issue at this hotel. I have been on at least three occasions where I have booked the meal deal and when I have come down for the evening meal I get told there's no chef. No one mentioned anything when checking in or gave me a refund. I have also booked a premium room twice now and then not been given one.
• R7621JCianr (2/5): Not many staff working here. Poor service throughout - Wouldn't have an evening meal here unless you have over 4 hours available to eat. Need more staff (more than 3). QRMachine not working.
• mkmattison (10/5): Excellent. - Excellent location. Room is clean and well equipped. Very impressed with the staff. Excellent freshly cooked breakfast, this morning 22nd November, with vegetarian sausages, bacon and poached eggs with a wide variety of other of good quality options. Very pleased with all aspects of this hotel and the staff are efficient and welcoming. Helpful with parking options too. Thank you for an enjoyable two night stay. A Mattison.
• dawnkA1206AO (10/5): Enjoyed 😉 - Staff very helpful, cheerful,friendly. Location very good for town, quite, no through traffic. Car park s not so good when full near hotel, plenty around though. Rooms lovely, always a spacious and comfortable bed. Value for price, lovely restaurant, good prices 👌
• B2212UKjohnb (10/5): Positive - Kind and helpful staff, particularly Mary. Premier inn facility is ready for a face lift, but is very clean throughout.
• sheilalS8123SQ (10/5): Always a friendly welcome from Mary - We have stayed at this Premier Inn regularly for the last 11 years because we have family living nearby. We stay there several times a year and always get a friendly welcome from Mary on reception. The rooms are always clean with comfortable beds. Some of the showers have been upgraded which is very welcome, but the hotel does need a general refresh.
• declanmB1032XZ (10/5): Stay - Brilliant room really clean staff were all very nice and helpful. Would recommend and stay again. Friendly and kind throughout our stay.
• TrevorHall (10/5): Excellent Stay - I stayed two nights, waiting for a hospital procedure. I had an excellent night’s sleep in 129 as it looks onto the quiet car park at the back. Everything was as you’d expect, cleanliness, all facilities, hot shower. For my evening meal I took the 17 minute walk across the roundabout to Sambuca Braise Station, which serves beautiful pizza, pasta, steak. So don’t let the pub being closed out you off staying here because the good at SBS is superb.
• katyw999 (10/5): Good gluten free / dairy free breakfast options - Good gluten free, dairy free and vegan options at breakfast, and very helpful staff happy to cook everything separately, and very friendly.
• seifa357 (10/5): My premier inn experience - Upon arrival I met the receptionist Mary who was very nice and welcoming. She was an absolute star! I do recommend the rooms to be refurbished.
• mcgoo1234 (8/5): Entertaining - Good location. Very good food. Rooms are always clean and beds are very comfortable. My family and I stay here every time we’re in town and staff are always lovely. Very welcoming and accommodating. Kate, the manager, is always a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended.
• NellietheSuperDog (10/5): Excellent - Excellent stay. Natalie, Denzel and Jackie deserve a mention. Great people, friendly and work very hard. Room clean. Quiet location. One minute walk to Derngate Theatre. Breakfast fresh, cooked to order and fabulous. Will definitely stay again when visiting The Derngate.
• 476kayleigha (10/5): Spot on! - Yet again what an amazing stay I had, downside the first night was freezing because air con system was broken but not the hotels fault. Room absolutely spotless as always never find anything less when I stay. Staff amazing kind and friendly especially towards my little boy offering to let him carve a pumpkin’ will always recommend here :)
• 956bettyq (10/5): "Me" Time! - Enjoy our stay very much. However use of the accessible rooms (we found for us) was not suitable - has we had 1, step up to the shower, with no handle to hold on to. Because of this we did not use the shower. So on, our next visit we will insist on a accessible room with a Wet Room -(meaning that it is suitable for a wheelchair user).
• R3675MKcarlb (8/5): October at the Premier Blue Cap - Had a lovely time and the staff were very helpful 😊. It's really nice having the Blue cap next door for food and drinks at the end of the day. Also staff in the pub were very nice. Thanks to Bridget for recommending places to see and pleasantries.
• 917clarer (10/5): Premier Inn stay was very good as always - Room was clean, spacious and a very quiet spot. Good for getting into Newcastle city centre. Staff were very friendly and reception is staffed 24/7 which is reassuring when travelling alone.
• 598barryw (10/5): Excellent Stay - We often sty at the Premier Inn for the rugby and each time we receive an excellent service. Our latest visit was in October. As usual the rooms were exceptionally clean and the staff very friendly and helpful. Brekfast was good. A special thanks to Gail and Gosia for making our stay so enjoyable. Can thoroughly recommend the hotel.
• carolinel994 (10/5): Great stay, as always - We are regular, if infrequent, visitors to this hotel and it never disappoints. Great location, easy parking options and invariably friendly and helpful staff. In particular, Gail is always so efficient at check in and, if on duty, great at sorting out breakfast. Gosia ensures that the rooms are always spotless. Would not consider staying anywhere else in Northampton.
• dalehW4359EN (10/5): Great staff - Short 1 night stay, but every member of staff who we spoke to were super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was absolutely spot on too Thank you ☺️
• timnB488WV (10/5): Very good. We had 3 rooms over 2 night and everyone is very happy. - Arrived at check in stressed tired and hungry. We were lucky enough to get checked in by Sara. She was brilliant and went way over and beyond to help us out. Warm friendly and professional. She made sure we got a table booked in busy restaurant, before it was fully booked out. When our room key could not open the room door She found us a different room no problem. 5 star treatment and a great team player.
• 693darrang (4/5): Not the best - Check out time was 12 o’clock so we put the do not disturb sign on the door so housekeeping would be aware we were sleeping in. Unfortunately the housekeeping were banging about and shouting to one another. We even heard them say they couldn’t finish early until they had done our room, and someone kicked our door. As I went to take our bags to the car the receptionist asked me what number my room was when I told her she replied oh we was wondering where the key was?. If the checkout time is 12 o’clock the staff should abide to this time. Very unprofessional. Imagine booking a hotel room to relax then being forced out early the next day. Waste of money!
• chrisgX6400GN (10/5): Always a Warm Welcome - We are regulars at the Premier Inn Northampton Town Centre but have been away for the summer so this was our first stay for several months. On our arrival we soon received a very warm welcome on our return by Katie the manager and Gosia the head house keeper. They are very busy people but always find time to have a conversation and ask how we are. Our stay was, as usual very comfortable and relaxing. This type of personal touch is ALWAYS appreciated. That’s why we ALWAYS stay here when in Northampton.
• N7839DS (10/5): Great experience - Had a slight issue with the air conditioning in the room but the staff went above and beyond to try and sort the problem. They were really friendly and always on hand. Will definitely be returning. Huge shoutout to Gayle who was so funny and so lovely.
• ccedinburgh2018 (4/5): Awful customer service - Quite disappointing Saved from a one star review by the clean, comfy rooms and decent food at our evening meal at the on site restaurant Customer service overall was very disappointing both at hotel reception and restaurant Had to ring bell on arrival, even though I was in eyeshot of the female receptionist, who then appeared disgruntled, proceeded to sit down at computer with little eye contact/ communication or explanation about facilities and one word answers to questions asked Same with the gentleman on departure, who just took back keys, didn't check how stay was etc Restaurant staff were not very welcoming and slow to show us to our seats Missed breakfast as it was so slow to arrive Absolutely awful service, would not recommend
• francescasH8183OR (6/5): poor breakfast as nothing available - Do not have the breakfast as it was nothing more than a bun fight. Half the food was not available and I was virtually sitting on the lady next to me. No booking system so everyone arrived at the same time. It was awful and stressful. Definitely not worth the money
• Jan5660 (10/5): Premier Inn - Friendly welcome and room as you expect from a Premier Inn. The breakfast was very good and the staff once again very friendly. Would happily stay here again.
• jeffmaverickSmith (8/5): usual experience for a Premier inn, you know what you're getting. although to costly - check-in was problematic. first, a long que to check-in. the automated/check-in machines were not working. not the ladies fault who managed well. then allocated a single room, paid for a double. had to find the original booking that confirmed it, which did not match the system. wsa able to resolve fairly quickly.
• GillHerne (10/5): Good stay , highly recommended - Always have a nice stay. Staff helpful and friendly. The rooms are an ideal size and food very good and cater for gluten free.
• Cnocreamha7 (10/5): Ideal spot with great staff - We booked 2 nights at this hotel for the Great North Run. The location is perfect, a 10 minute walk to the metro station so no need to take your car into Newcastle. The staff had went above and beyond for the guests who were running, lovely motivational posters all over the place and a great wee snack area that you could just help yourself. Sharon and her team were outstanding throughout our stay, always a warm greeting and nothing was too much trouble. The hotel itself was very clean and its you could see the staff took pride it their work. This is a perfect base for visiting Newcastle. Thank you to all at Premier Inn Holystone for making our weekend memorable.
• russellj903 (10/5): Excellent service 5 stars - Came premier inn Sandiway lady on desk called Mary was very accommodating And made booking for us 2 rooms as we seem to have no booking
• davidnJ1239SX (4/5): Not great. - We knew the restaurant was being refurbished so accepted breakfast would be a limited selection and complementary but it was really poor, not helped by the off-hand staff attitude. By 7.15, a key part of the limited supply had gone when barely any premier inn breakfasts normally even open before 7.30 on a Sunday! Staff just didn't put any effort in to do the best for their guests. This is a site well out of town so certainly no local corner shops and cafes. Bathroom damp and smelly as well. The hotel is showing its age.
• Tacksterino (6/5): Fine in the past, can't cope with the summer heat - I've been before and it's been fine for the area. However, this time the weather was hot and there is no air conditioning in any of the rooms. The windows are limited to a couple of inches of opening and the staff supplied electric fans that don't do much when all they do is move the heat around. With summers getting hotter, AC is a must
• Alleyb69 (10/5): Great stay - Had a relaxing, quiet stay and the staff were friendly and very helpful. The room was clean and the beds were very comfortable? It was a very hot day and the staff made sure we had plenty of cold water
• PhilipM45 (8/5): Good stay - Very friendly staff, good rooms which are very clean. Breakfast is cooked to order and table service which was very good. Only downside is lack of phone/WiFi in the area.
• brianeF3283QR (6/5): If nt for Family funeral this place would never have been chosen - Food area closed food provided outside agency and they where changing hands. A4 list provided to show what they did not have. Maybe add chef to that list as everything served below luke warm.
• chrisbN3399LL (8/5): A Good Place to Stay and Eat - I stay here often and both the Premier Inn and the Blue Cap next door are just great. Mary at the Premier Inn is very welcoming, there's plenty of parking (with 4x electric charge points) and there is good running or walking down the nearby Whitegate Way path.
• Bluegecko33 (4/5): After a few years staying away...it's not improved. - The whole of Premier Inn Sandiway is over due a complete overhaul and refurbishment. It is tired. I stayed there a few years back, preferring to stay at the other Premier Inn in Northwich - the one with the Woodpecker pub attached, near Davenham roundabout. This time I stayed at Sandiway to see if it had been improved - it hadn't. On entering the room there was a smell - a mix of mouldy, damp, mustiness with a hint of bleach/cleaner. The source was the bathroom. It was clean, but the smell lingered throughout our stay. It was reminiscent of the smell in old public showers at the gym/swimming pool. Not what I want in a room I am going to sleep in. The edges of things in the bathroom were grubby, the holders and containers of the soap etc were rusty and grubby. We were constantly disturbed every night by doors closing heavily through into the early morning. You have signs everywhere, but people do not read them, especially if they are coming in after a drink. You have soft close mechanisms on the corridor doors that work and those doors close silently if someone walks through and leaves it to self close. The doors on the rooms also have soft close mechanisms on them, but they DO NOT work and these are the doors that were slamming noisily when people let them bang shut behind them. They need upgrading. I appreciate hotel living is accepting people moving about at all hours. I've stayed in enough over the years to know that, but when you pride yourself about good sleep and not being disturbed etc... And while I am filling this in - what is with the sign on the bathroom door saying it must be closed when taking a shower due to steam setting off the fire alarm. If this is the case then presumably the fire alarm is low tech as I've not had this sign on any other Premier Inn bathroom door or the internal fan in the bathroom is inadequate to deal with the steam produced by the shower. As I said in my opinion Sandiway is in need of upgrading and refurbishment. Keys and a wobbly Yale lock style of lock on the room door - this is dark ages. Where are the key cards and more sophisticated style of door locks in all the other Premier Inns I have stayed at. Premier Inn Sandiway is not a patch on your other Premier Inns that I have stayed in, both in Cheshire and other parts of the UK.
• Safari29585928361 (6/5): No air conditioning, rooms really hot - The staff were really friendly and helpful and the room was nice. The big let down for us was there being no air conditioning in the room, the temperature was so hot we had 2 fans on all the time we were in the room. As we were ground floor the window only opened slightly and didn't make any difference. During the day we kept the blackout curtains closed to keep out the sun and heat but again this made no difference. The corridors were nice and cool but when you walked into our room it was like stepping off a plane abroad, the heat hit you. The breakfast is great and really good value. I would strongly advise against the evening meal, the food is poor and very overpriced even when paying as a meal deal, definitely eat elsewhere.
• carolemh (10/5): Above and beyond customer service - We often stay here when catching up with friends from Northampton. On this occasion we did not arrive until 1am and was welcomed by Anita. Anita went out of her way and offered to get some fresh milk for our tea/coffee in the morning. Sometimes it is the little gestures like this that make such as difference. Rooms as always clean and bed super comfy and location spot on.
• Leander_12 (8/5): Tired Rooms but Clean with Friendly Staff - Rooms were very tired and in need of refurbishment, but they were clean so that was the main thing. Reception staff and staff at pub next door were very helpful and friendly. We stayed for the weekend for a Wedding at a nearby venue, so this hotel was ideal for our needs.
• Victy_Jones (10/5): Fantastic staff! - Perfect hotel for our needs, a great location for the wedding at Delamere. Staff were welcoming and helpful, particularly Bridget on Reception who was really friendly and accommodating; an excellent front of house who went above and beyond!
• 532Deanb (10/5): A good visit - An excellent Premier Inn, clean, comfortable rooms, good strong shower, clean and maintained public areas and helpful reception team. Special shout out to Tyler on reception for being extra helpful and friendly. Would recommend. Hopefully I will be back in the future.
• RnBTaxiIOM (2/5): Unhelpful - Unhelpful when called for assistance. No option for what they were suggesting in terms of the number you press to get through to the right department and not put through leaving question unanswered. Booked alternative instead.
• johnwambeek (6/5): Ok hotel - Room was nice and staff when friendly when I first walked in night staff not so much dont pay for breakfast not worth it also dont let room. Cleaner clean the room was worse after they had come in
• robinhJ7150TW (8/5): Very relaxing stay, friendly helpful staff - Friendly helpful staff, good sized room, clean, good pub directly next door, plenty of secure parking and a couple of electric charging points on site
• paulcI3005LR (10/5): Great everything, just as expected and no compaints - staff, food, parking & location suits us so well, always get the room we want when booking as got 2 kids under 2 they provide 2 cots and everything we need. great restaraunt and parking and quiet location. 8th time we think so far with many more planned visits to come.
• sharongT2139PN (10/5): The lovely staff made our visit so enjoyable. - The staff were fantastic! So helpful, friendly and fun. We happened to mention that we were visiting family as it was my husband and his twin Sister’s 70th birthday. When we got back to our room later that night there was a card and box of chocolates waiting for my husband! What a lovely, thoughtful thing to do! We had a lovely room that suited us nicely. The reception staff that we met were Pauline ( what a lovely lady) Elliot and an another young man whose name escapes me - sorry but they were all fantastic! Thank you so much!
• neilcA8116OL (10/5): Good all round experience - Was a good all round experience and excellent pub next door,everyone knew there job and everything went smoothly,room was comfy and great value for money.
• Sightseer55812458443 (10/5): Holystone - Great stay excellent friendly staff used the dinner breakfast was really good value.comfy quiet room good dining facilities
• 568dolores (8/5): Delicious food - overall my stay was good. The bed was very comfortable. The food was delicious and staff were friendly and helpful. Great value for money.
• CharC1697 (8/5): Good but not good for hot days! - Good standard premier inn experience, comfy and clean, lovely reception staff but unfortunately we stayed on one of the hottest days of the year and the room had no air conditioning and due to the window barely opening, it was roasting and we did not sleep well - it reached 30 degrees on the thermostat and only increased overnight, even with the mechanical fan on.
• N9469SDstuarth (10/5): Fantastic staff - Fantastic stay staff were so welcoming and friendly they genuinely do make it a lovely stay won't hesitate to use again in future
• RickEirew (8/5): Great location, staff and value, badly let down by the restaurant. - Positives - Lovely staff, nice clean rooms, comfy bed, a lovely beer garden, lots of free parking and close to Whitley Bay without being nearly as expensive. Negatives - Food at the restaurant was really really poor, cooked in very old oil and neither well presented nor enjoyable. We mentioned this on leaving and they just said they'd mention it to the kitchen staff. Bedroom would have benefitted from aircon or a fan, heater on bedroom wall seemed dirty and rusty. .
• K811PLdavidc (4/5): Give it a miss - Very dated old premier inn not worth the £125 a night, staff were great, quite possibly the worst breakfast we have had at a premier inn and we have stayed at 100’s, save ya money eat elsewhere awful food, greasy, sausages dry, poached egg rock hard, ps no coffee machine either, children had pancakes about all possible to eat.
• gillie222 (10/5): A budget hotel with 5 star staff. - The staff at Sandiway went over and above to make sure that my stay was the best it could be right from checking me in. Sarah, Gwyneth and Mary who were on the reception were amazing in every way. The room was clean, tidy and adequate for my three night stay and the staff reminded me that I could renew the towels, have the room cleaned if I wanted.
• alexandriae92 (10/5): Thank you Mary at check in! - I had a wonderful stay again at Premier Inn, thanks to the incredibly friendly receptionist. From the moment I walked in, Mary always greets me with a warm smile and makes check-in a breeze. Their helpful attitude and genuine kindness made me feel truly welcome. It’s always lovely to be greeted by someone who clearly enjoys their job. A fantastic first impression that set the tone for a great stay!
