Guest Reviews

• X2776PXfredr (6/5): No wifi , - No wifi, stayed there had to check out early and find another hotel. Shower pump so noisy under staffed kitchen staff so limited menu . The mast next door leaves half the hotel without wifi in your room so have to sit in reception and restaurant which was a massive inconvenience. Worst experience i have had in a premier inn
• C836XGemmar (10/5): Staff amazing - Conveniently places for access to city centre. Staff were all very helpful, especially Sara. She could not do enough to ensure our stay was the best.
• ChrisPC1987 (6/5): September 2 night Stay - Hotel was okay but let down by it's facilities. TV didn't work for the 2 nights I was there despite reporting it. I was given a replacement remote control on 2nd night which still didn't turn on the TV.
• 782gedh (10/5): Relaxing break - Very friendly and helpful staff, always a pleasure to stay here , great proximity to the shopping centre and the stadium just nearby also would like to make special mention to Kasia and Denisa the chef superb service but all the staff were excellent

• wendydH1589GU (10/5): Great winter break - The stay at the Premier Inn, Thorpe Bay, was extremely clean and the staff were very professional and very helpful at all times. Value for money was very good and the location was a short taxi ride from all local attractions.
• 969martynab (10/5): Nice and clean, excellent service. - I was pleased with this hotel. Excellent service by Kasia. She was professional and very friendly. Breakfast was delicious cooked by Denisa. Highly recommended.

• DanSC74 (10/5): One of the Best Premier Inns in the Country! - I stay in a lot of Premier Inns and I always stay in the Thorpe Bay hotel when in Southend. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. The rooms clean, comfortable, and seldom with any problems. There are a few good cafes and restaurants nearby (for breakfast, Italian and Cantonese food) and the on site Toby Carvery, which I also like. The hotel is a bit older than many Premier Inns, but well maintained nevertheless. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
• Moulsonj (10/5): Excellent service - Great service by James and staff in the premier inn restaurant. Lovely meal and caring staff. Food was well cooked and presented and pudding was out of this world. Thank you
• cl4aire (10/5): ALWAYS A PLEASURE - I have been visiting this Premier Inn for four years for work and I always receive such a warm welcome, whether that is from Sara on Reception to Shelley and Tammie in the restaurant. The restaurant has had a glow-up since my last visit and I love the decor. The menu has also changed and there are loads of delicious options. The staff are so friendly and take time to explain options to you. My bed is comfortable and I know I will feel rested and ready for the day ahead in the morning.
• Global713195 (10/5): Amazing and thanks to the Staff, they make the place 😁 - Staff are so friendly, always make me feel welcome and as a regular for weekly uni stays on my own its very comforting to feel like a part of the family. Food is lovely and beds Soo comfy. Highly recommend. Shelley and Tammy thank you for always making me feel at home, you make my stay warm and safe
• H1495IWdianaf (10/5): STAFF - amazing experience , lovely staff and the food was lovely . Mimi is so hard working and needs recognition .will return happilly
• rowanc607 (2/5): Avoid - Tired and dirty - The restaurant unavailable and zero welcome. Pay for parking. Room cold and generally feel of take the money and shove them in
• eddiecM5615QV (10/5): Great stay , thanks Melissa 😊 - Very accessible budget hotel with guest parking, room was clean, quiet and comfortable. The lady on reception, Melissa was so lovely, polite and helpful Premier Inn should be proud to have her as an employee. I would highly recommend staying here .no breakfast but there is a Toby carvery about 10 yards away which does unlimited breakfast for £7.99 .
• NigelHurley (10/5): Great - Very quite clean room. Spacious . The receptionist was delightful . Her name is Melissa . Very nice . I asked for biscuits but she apologised that the vending machine only sold confectionery. Then she gave me box of shortbread biscuits ! She wouldn’t accept payment either. A breath of fresh air !
• K1206ASguym (8/5): Has a good time - The lady at the front was super lovely made me feel at home all the services were great, slight smell in our room but other than that everything was really good
• Z4297UOandym (4/5): Stay at the new premiere inn by Westquay - The entire building needs a thorough deep clean , reception area floor, lifts and non carpetted areas were sticky underfoot, corridor as well as bedroom carpets need replacing to remove the stail smell...windows need regular cleaning to remove the bird muck stains.. The staff do not reflect the condition of the building as they are fab and did all they could to try accommodate as I made the mistake of booking in and pre paid my stay on a non flex system.. Restaurant staff Kasia and Denisa made our stay worthwhile. Well done to you all,
• T3222PMfredw (6/5): Disappointed - The outside of the building looks unkept inside ok, No wifi or TV working, blue badge parking not available due to none blue badge cars parked in disabled parking
• 102luizap (10/5): Great money value, nice area, - Great staff, great experience, very helpful, the receptionist was more than helpful with my situation, the room are very clean and friendly staff
• NeilGu (10/5): Nice hotel with an exceptional receptionist! - We were staying after a cruise, but managed to disembark hours earlier than expected so arrived to see if we could just drop our bags off as it was 0830. The gentleman at reception, whose name I've completely forgotten (sorry) was incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful. Rather than just taking our bags, he offered to have our room made up early and offered us a drink in the breakfast bar while we waited. Literally 20 minutes later, he gave us our room keys. We had booked the meal deal and, after a couple of misunderstandings over the menu had an ok meal with a nice glass of wine before retiring for an early night The bed was comfortable, the room spacious, the shower was a good temperature and there was tea and coffee! Breakfast in the morning was plentiful and tasty, as normal. Premier Inn breakfasts have always been good and I was pleased to see this site was no different. After we checked out, the same gentleman on reception allowed us to check our baggage in while we went to an event. Every member of staff was friendly, polite and helpful. Thank you for a great stay!
• 594toni (10/5): Again another lovely stay! - Often stay here, great setting and lovely staff! Very clean room and we are always chuffed with our stays!!! Have more booked!
• D2577NDcameronr (2/5): No receptionist - Have rang the reception 14 times and still no answer I don’t understand how someone can’t answer the phone and it being a Sunday night it’s a joke
• Arden24 (8/5): One night pre-cruise stay - A comfortable and convenient place to stay before embarking on a cruise. In fact we have already booked to stay again before our next cruise in 2026. The hotel is a bit tired in places and our room was very warm - 2 large fans were supplied to counteract this. Breakfast is served in the 5th floor restaurant which offers great views of Southampton. Nb the carpark is small, I would advise arriving early to get a space. The carpark charge is in addition to your room rate and is paid on departure. I think it is £13 for 24 hours.
• GlobeTrotting794290 (10/5): Wonderful Team at South Mimms! - We have been coming to South Mimms every month for several years with our families. We actually go out for missionary work on the universal basis of humanity. We typically occupy 10-15 rooms each time, and your team have got to know us by our names now! They know who to expect every month. Wonderful service with a friendly smile!
• NileshV58 (10/5): Relaxing and warm! - Hina is always warm when we arrive, we are always here every month and feel like home!! Service with a smile and we have ben coming for over a year now!
• DavidBursonThomas (10/5): Autumn in Southampton - This hotel is a hidden gem near the centre of Southampton. Deputy manager Martin was an absolute star… he could not have done more to facilitate our stay
• bridgetcL5260UM (10/5): This hotel is literally run by angels <3 - I was there for two nights to escape a domestic violence situation and the hotel staff literally saved my life. My ex-partner had smashed up my phone so they let me use the phone all day both days to communicate with police, shelters, and my parents in Canada. Breakfast and dinner were also delicious.
• hazellA2504PZ (10/5): Very nice and staff very friendly cleared tables quickly - South Mimms London good Good atmosphere Room very clean bed comfy Good value for money No noise Good amenities Staff service exceptional all very clean. Clears away crockery quickly and efficiently will recommend
• adaochinket (8/5): Honest review - It was nice, although my last years experience was better in terms of variety of food. The bathroom noise is quite loud when the light is on. The staff are very friendly.
• T8386LUrosad (10/5): We were welcomed by lovely staff, who throughout our 4 days, did over and beyond for our big party. We're very greatful. - Mimms London, convenient for us. Atmosphere was friendly Room was clean, beds were comfortable Great staff service! Great value for money No noice, I had peaceful sleep Plenty of amenities
• nicolepX6712BW (8/5): Marcin is amazing! He’s a real gem. - Yesterday, I arrived at the Premier Inn City Centre Southampton and the reception staff was unfriendly and dismissive. No customer services training. I met three different reception staff yesterday with the same attitude! Use the self service machines and don’t disturb us! It was as if the guests were an inconvenience. Today Marcin (Polish) is on Reception duty and he is polite, professional, made guests feel as if they mattered. His customer service training is excellent. He is a real asset to this hotel and deserves recognition and a promotion. Great customer service! Keep it up!
• xraymikey (2/5): Disappointing stay — unhygienic and uncomfortable - I rarely leave negative reviews, but this hotel was genuinely unpleasant. The room was filthy: carpets were stained and littered with cigarette burns, and the entire space reeked of stale socks. There was no air circulation system, so I had to keep the window open, which meant constant street noise. Under the bed was thick with dust and clearly hadn’t been cleaned in ages. The bathroom fan was deafening, and one of the ceiling lights kept flickering, making it hard to relax. Overall, the lack of basic cleanliness and maintenance made the stay feel more like a punishment than a getaway. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone until it undergoes a serious deep clean and refurbishment.
• V1360KGjoannas (10/5): Great place to stay,close to motorway - Rooms very clean , great staff,would stay again, food is great, anyone is very helpful,could do with free parking.....
• H2512DPmanuelas (10/5): Lovely hotel - Nice and clean room , delicious breakfast and amazing staff. Happy to help with extra pillows and towels. We always love to come back
• sarahwE1320KN (6/5): Conveniently located hotel, poor restaurant experience - Convenient hotel, close to the motorway. A little dated from the outside, but the rooms are okay. Loved the towel arrangement by Leona and Mimi on the bed on arrival. Felt momentarily like being on holiday. The restaurant service in the evening was incredibly slow, given that they were almost empty.
• gemmab824 (10/5): Lovely place - We stayed for a work trip last night (Thursday) and we had a lovely lady in reception who was super friendly and helpful. Then this morning we had another lady on checkout. She was blonde but I didn’t catch her name. She was lively and her kindness and friendliness really set me up for a good day. People don’t realise how such a small gesture can affect someone’s day in such a big way. Thank you for your kindness whilst we stayed with you.
• davidcV4715QL (10/5): Great service - Freddie was amazing and very helpful!. The was decent. They did show the football which was a nice way to fill an evening.
• melissacR9143LR (10/5): Lovely Hotel - Good location, bit further away from amenities but nice and quiet. Clean room, Great staff, friendly atmosphere. Shame theres no breakfast but the bigger Premier inn down the road served us food so that was good.
• 936aymank (10/5): Great customer service - Freddy was very helpful at reception. I really appreciate his help! 10/10 service. I definitely will be coming back to this premier inn !
• 889chrisj (8/5): Visiting family near by - The Hotel location was excellent. The outside was a little tired. There are no electric car charging bays. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The hotel smelt a little musty, and unfortunately the windows were non opening to get fresh ventilation so the air con was on all time. Breakfast was excellent 👌
• Adventurer30994 (6/5): Disappointing visit to our regular Premier Inn - Noise in bathroom when light was on. Missed discount code for parking as sign was away from machine. Why not have sign on machine as well as where it is now ?
• T419LUpeterd (8/5): Perfect for one night stay - The hotel was clean and tidy and perfect for a one night stay. The only issue encountered was the lack of an electrical point in the bath for a toothbrush charger. However this was easily remedied by reception who supplied us with a adaptor plug.
• Youl (6/5): - There was no fridge in the room and when asked from staff to place in the big fridge, they refused
• Knowall3 (4/5): Dirty and shabby, very dissatisfied - Staff very nice and welcoming, hotel is shabby and in need of updating. Black mould on windows and in shower, bathroom skirting grubby. Shabby carpets. No air conditioning just a fan and you can only open the windows a couple of inches, no good in the summer. Overall needs a complete refurbishment both rooms and communal areas. I have a booking in a different area Premier Inn and are seriously considering cancelling my reservation. Nothing like the quality of hotel portrayed on TV. Extremely disappointed.
• anitaaD7541ZV (8/5): Premier Inn Southend Thorpe Bay - a great budget option - Great: - spacious, clean bedroom with fan provided - very comfortable beds - free car parking with plenty of spaces - really nice staff - as much tea and coffee as you want - bus stop outside the hotel - 30 minute walk from city centre - nice and quiet - Thorpe Bay beach just outside your door! - Toby Carvery right next door - they also do breakfast - corner shop about 10 minutes walk away - park with kids playground 10 minutes walk away Could be better: - lack of air-con - room was hot even with the fan going - no mini fridge - vending machine only had v limited options - no bottled water or water fountain Overall, we had a good stay!
• dannybZ4694EG (10/5): Another fine day at Thorpe Bay - Once again a lovely stay at the Thorpe Bay Premier Inn. The staff are always helpful and friendly. Just a very short walk (across the road) from the estuary. Parking is brill no issues Room was very comfortable. Always recommend. Danny
• 712leighaw (4/5): Not worth it/ dirty - The hotel is run down. Room was dirty with fluff and bits of paper on the floor, not good with a baby crawling around. Holes in the travel cot No air-con so a fan was left (30 degree heat) but the fan was caked in dust and grime that I had to take it apart before using to wash it
• Shellc75 (10/5): Fantastic stay at Premier Inn Thorpe Bay - Fantastic Hotel, great value for money. The team at Thorpe Bay Premier Inn are extremely welcoming and helpful, especially Chris, Paulo and Justine. I would highly recommend staying at this Premier Inn. The room was clean, the bed really comfortable and parking was available. Next door is a Toby Restaurant where we had breakfast, lunch or dinner some days.
• J1286ZYsusanf (10/5): Would happily start here again - Clean rooms, great friendly staff. Great location, across the road from the beach and next to Toby Carvery. Best of all, opening windows, no air conditioning and with a fan if needed. Bonus of free parking on site. Would happily start here again.
• J3448YHmikej (10/5): Great value hotel in Southend - Great value. Clean and tidy room with a comfortable bed. Pub next door. Perfect. Was bale to buy drinks in the pub and drink them in the hotel room whilst watching the FA Cup. Additionally right by the sea and plenty of outdoor seating outside by the pub to enjoy the sun.
• B5030NWmichaelf (2/5): a rip iff - I expect much better for what I paid. it may be a last minute booking but I am not happy with the rip off cost. exterior paintwork was pealing. I feel sorry for the lovely lady at the check-in that has to justify the state of the place. ,,........,....
• 594toni (10/5): Another lovely break - We often stay here & are always happy. Lovely staff, lovely room really can't fault a thing! Have more bookings booked and looking forward to our trips! We were very fortunate as sun was shining too!! It has lovely dining options next door and great location too!
• sandracul (8/5): Very clean and comfortable, good location - Very good value. Free car parking is a definite bonus. The building itself is a bit tired and although the rooms could do with a lick of paint etc, I have to say it was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We would be happy to stay here again. No breakfast available but there is a Toby Carvery next door which do a good breakfast if this is an issue for you.
• Voyage54551783407 (8/5): Lovely central hotel - Warm comfortable room, toby carvery next door for food if required. On seafront. Free parking . Everything you expect for a decent stay - comfy mattress, excellent shower pressure, can't fault it really . Felt safe and comfortable all weekend
