Guest Reviews
- kerri_sweeting (6/5): Mixed bag! - Stayed here for one night with my husband at the end of November. The hotel itself is nice and the staff were friendly. We were allocated room 208. As soon as we got out of the lift we noticed a very stale smell. Our room, didn’t smell nice at all. Very stale and damp smelling. The room itself was clean but the smell was unpleasant. The windows do not open at all so the air is a stagnant air conditioning smell. I wanted to complain but my husband said we would hardly be in the room, so we didn’t. We had some lovely cocktails before dinner which were 2 for 1, very good value. Our evening meal was nice and tasty. Unfortunately breakfast, although replenished quickly was swimming in grease, in particular the eggs, mushrooms and bacon which was a shame. We wouldn’t stay here again but would try one of the other Premier Inns in Derby next time.
- N8374WRsandrag (10/5): First Class Service - We have just been checked in by the lovely Emma who was super friendly and really helpful - answering all our questions regarding our stay.
The room is clean, comfortable and well equipped.
- Q6703LXjonr (10/5): Fantastic 1 nights stay - Fantastic location bang in the middle of Doncaster, great Atmosphere, Big clean rooms.
Could have been cheaper, unfortunately I was next the boiler room and it kept me awake most of the night other than that never heard a thing.
Fantastic staff going out of their way to help. Plenty of Amenities around love the wool market around the corner full of food vendors from around the world and bars plus games too.
- 797ip (2/5): Worst Premier Inn in Derby by Far - 27th November 2025, at your Derby Cathedral Quarter hotel.
From the outset, the experience was extremely disappointing. Upon arrival, my wives and I had to wait almost five minutes to be seated, despite the restaurant being quiet and no staff visible when we entered from the street. Eventually, we were served by Suzanne, but the issues continued throughout our visit.
• After paying, we found only two tables in use, yet when attempting to start our breakfast, the coffee machine displayed a “call staff” alert. This caused further delays, and when I finally managed to resolve it, the coffee tasted weak, unpleasant, and nothing like the Costa standard I am accustomed to at Premier breakfasts.
• Basic items were missing: no small side plates, no malted bread, and no croissants. At this point, I felt more like I was working at Premier Inn than being served as a guest.
• The cooked breakfast itself was poor in quality and presentation. The beans were dry and crushed over the hash browns, which were hard as rock. The eggs had clearly been sitting for so long they would have been better boiled. I had wanted poached eggs, but again, no staff were available to assist.
Overall, the service was inadequate, the food substandard, and the entire experience fell far below the standards I expect from Premier Inn. Without doubt, this was the worst breakfast I have ever had at one of your hotels
- nathanbJ1044NI (10/5): Excellent staff - The girls on reception were very helpful and friendly. Room was very clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.
- wgardner101 (4/5): Disrupted Night Sleep - I stayed for 2 x nights early in November to see friends in the local area.
I’ve stayed here a few times and the experience is usually good and typical for a Premier Inn. It is located within walking distance of the city centre and has a relationship with a multi-storey car park about 10 minutes away. There is a car park right next to the hotel that is not affiliated and I have not parked there.
The first night (Friday) was uneventful and I ate in the restaurant on site which was nice.
The second night was heavily disrupted due to a guest repeatedly setting off the fire alarm at around 01:30 on the Sunday early hours. This caused a full evacuation in the freezing cold only to observe the guest in question complaining about the fire assembly point and being violent with staff whilst the guests watched on. This went on for about 20 minutes until the police arrived, while we all had to wait outside in the cold.
I was sure that Premier Inn would see this as a disruptive night sleep and the staff agreed when I raised the issue at the time but asked me to visit reception in the morning as they were giving statements to the police. I finally got to sleep at 3am and upon checkout was given a card to request my refund. (Un)surprisingly Premier Inn refused to honour this when I asked so I was left with a disrupted night sleep and a sour taste of the whole experience.
- 868stellaj (10/5): Great relaxing break - The hotel is located just a very short walk to the shops, bars,restaurants, car parks and cash machines. The hotel has a lovely comfortable, friendly atmosphere.
Our room was very spacious and clean, it also had a bath as well as an over bath shower. The hotel exceeded our expectations.
- andrewg819 (10/5): Great customer service. Management need to spend some money on fittings - Stayed before and after a trip to France. Thanks to Melissa who got us checked in politely and professionally when we arrived late and were very tired from our journey. Staff here are always high standard (unlike Oban P.Inn) and housekeeping do a great job of keeping this well used hotel (starting to show it's age now) clean. Hopefully Melissa gets involved in new staff training to bring them up to her own high standard of customer service.
- Excursion57544351469 (8/5): Clean and comfortable - Clean comfortable room with plenty of parking, excellent breakfast next door in the Beefeater. Only useless thing was the WiFi which didn't work at all.
- AAJS_UK (8/5): Good value - I'm a fan of Premier Inn's as I feel they offer good value, and this particular location reconfirms this. I was welcomed by friendly staff for an overnight stay. Breakfast is served in the pub next door, but I didn't use. The hotel entrance is a little outdated but it was clean. The room was a good size and was clean. Bed was very comfortable and the shower was brilliant. Great way to start the day! The downside was the outside noise. Walls seem to be thin so you can get disturbed sometimes. Overall, I would book this Hotel again.
- jamesdQ939WY (10/5): Great place - Excellent very good i am happy with the support recieved excellent place great service i would stay again. Wonderful experience.
- V113PPjamesm (10/5): Good budget accommodation with a well run and inexpensive restaurant on site - Two nights away to visit RAF Hendon museum then Dover Castle, while at Hendon got a text saying our rooms at Premier inn (east Dover) were cancelled however shortly afterwards had a call to say we were rebooked into this hotel. The first morning we were given complimentary breakfasts and the second night a voucher for 25% off of our dinner.
- keonp161 (10/5): Our stay at premier inn Dover (A20) - Our stay at the Dover A20 was ideal for our visit to Dover castle. The room was all clean and comfortable. Parking on site and with the Beefeater restaurant next door for breakfast and evening meals was convenient . We was greeted at reception by Melissa who booked us in and was very helpful and pleasant she gave us information on our stay. We would use this Premier inn again if we visited Dover again.
- S2960RHmichaeld (10/5): Great value hotel - Had a two night stay here lovely and clean all the staff where friendly and helpful the two on the night shift Adam and Elaine where absolutely fantastic dealing with an issue with professionalism and patience that really shouldn’t be part off there job . The hotel was exceptionally clean and tidy and in a great location with easy access to motorways and the port of Dover thank you premier inn team
- Inspire55106090704 (10/5): Nice place to stay very friendly staff - Nice place to stay very friendly staff warm welcome clean room everything you need with being in the town centre wouldn't have a problem staying here again
- PhilSefton1968 (10/5): A lovely experience - Another stay at the hotel, its a good location for me as a friend lives nearby. It was clean and tidy. Staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast was nice. At the end of the day its a Premier Inn and it more than met the standards you expect. Will be returning again next year
- michaeljA8257GS (10/5): Hotel near Dover. - Good location for the car ferry. Very clean room and at a reasonable price. Reasturant within walking distance. Would recommend.
- Elizabeth195 (10/5): Great value for money - Love staying here . The rooms have always been perfect , the staff friendly and professional , and breakfast and the evening meal were great . Nice bars and restaurants nearby if you want to venture out and plenty of shops and a good shopping centre . Casino also nearby
Looking forward to returning
- jamesjT6523IK (8/5): Standard premier inn - Standard for premier inn, they are all very similar. You know what you’re getting.
The room however was very cold on arrival. I was supplied with a heater but a cold room is not ideal after a long day when you just want to relax.
- tiptonite54 (8/5): Rooms a little tired but great location - Great location for all City centre has to offer but obviously pay premium for that
Parking was awkward there is an unloading bay outside but secure parking is about 10 minute walk away but the hotel offers a discount there is parking adjoining the hotel but is private company and not secure
But as usual a comfortable stay
- 388shauno (10/5): Awesome staff - Very friendly staff and extremely helpful receptionist went above and beyond considering she had to do unnecessary admin
- joelpY1048PY (10/5): Doncaster premier - A comfortable hotel with friendly staff and good food. The chef Alex is brilliant and caters to my needs what with being disabled I sometimes need my food cut up and it’s never a problem. Best gammon I’ve ever eaten. I’ll always stay here while working in the area. Never had a bad meal here and always a comfortable sleep.
- sl0ttyt (6/5): Won’t be returning - I was obviously dubious about going anywhere that lennyHenry promotes, though the room was actually ok, the wifi was pretty poor but I won’t be using Premier inns again as, until I arrived I didn’t realise, the check in time is 3pm, far too inconvenient
- pra_cat2025 (10/5): Thanks for Gosia!! - Thank you Gosia!!! An extraordinary receptionist!
It was an interesting experience starting right from check in because we were met by a wonderful receptionist named Gosia, thanks to her the day started wonderfully so we want to thank her plus the hotel is very nice all the facilities ARE clean and I really like that it is located in the city center where we have access to everything we need from shopping to restaurants.
- 299remmyr (2/5): Bedbugs! - A horrible experience last night. Only had to sleep for 1 night, I had room 302 and the bed I chose turned out to be infested with bed bugs.... woke up with loads of parasite bites on my leg. Definitely do not recommend this hotel for any purposes. I was staying at the hotel from 29.10.2025 to 30.10.2025.
- mustee75 (4/5): Could have been better - The rooms are spacious and tidy, good beds, but the toilet was filthy, there was no Internet service in the room that I was given and the Receptionist couldn'tdo anything about it. Receptionist could have been a bit friendlier and helpful. The car park was great, enough space to park and a secure barrier which needs a code to access. The food was ok but could have been better if it's prepared and readily available to be eaten when arrived without having to make an order through someone. Though it is eat as much as you can, placing order takes so long for the food to be prepared and seservedThus defeats the whole of eat as much as you can. The gentleman the was nicer. Overall, I was expecting better service that I had.
- 719jeanettew (10/5): A good hotel - It is a very good hotel, priced right, clean, warm and central to Derby with friendly staff. We have been staying there since it opened and will continue in the future.
- markieq2016 (10/5): Good overnight location for early sail. - Booked a night here before an early sail on a Saturday. Easy to find, lots of parking. Check in was very efficient and Melissa was very helpful. Room was comfortable and perfect for purpose.
- 378sherc (10/5): Premier Inn Dover - Arrive rather late in the evening. Booking in was a breeze. They were very helpful. Room was clean warm and very nice.
All in all, A good experience
- E3212DDrickyc (10/5): Amazing - We arrived at Fishergate Doncaster and was greeted by the lovely Cheryl. She was very friendly and accommodating. Also the hotel is very clean and tidy
- alexbN1033AU (10/5): Amazing - Very good experience, Cheryl was amazing on reception and helped us with everything we needed. First time in Doncaster and will sure be back!!
- Q940NYlukes (10/5): Highly recommend - Had an excellent stay at the premiere inn and would definitely recommend to others and plan to return for any future trips to Derby. Staff were excellent, friendly, accommodating and welcoming.
- anitakE2477OT (10/5): Work colleagues night out - Big thank you to Steph , Kayleigh and the handsome guy- sorry don’t remember the name- for hosting us last night. Food was really good and well presented. Lovely atmosphere and very clean restaurant.
Really recommend.
- stevenkD1593FL (10/5): Another great Premier Inn - Stopped in this hotel for one night for a business training course. Excellent hotel, easy check in process with approachable staff (Lad with braids) didn't get your name sorry. Nice clean room. Walking distance for shops. Phatbuns is a great takeaway if you fancy a burger! Breakfast was great and very tasty. Would certainly book again if in the area.
- darrenbN8413ZQ (10/5): Thank you - Great staff easy check in sorted me out to stay in the same room as I had multiple bookings thank you to everyone came across the manager Cheryl Jill Rolanda and the housekeeping team for a great clean room
- paulasL1819KU (10/5): Fantastic - Absolutely fantastic lovely staff love it fast check in and very helpful can’t wait to come back the staff go above and beyond
- Wightbaby (10/5): Usual good standard plus new delicious menu - Usual standard of cleanliness and nice quiet comfortable room.
This was just a one night stopover before we joined a group holiday in the area.
The new menu (Thyme) was a bonus and most definitely an improvement on the usual fodder on offer in the past
- Escape13105508257 (10/5): 2 night stay - Great 2 night stay . Good food and nice rooms loved it .the breakfast was outstanding . The staff were so welcoming and helpful I would not hesitate to stay in a premier inn as this was our first time thank you Premier inns .
- 820eleanore (10/5): Lovely hotel and staff - We come here everytime we are in Doncaster
The staff is lovely and always helps us out if anything needed.
The rooms are well sized and has everything needed
- LippyD (2/5): They need to sort out the exterior banging sound - Had a room at the end of a corridor on the second highest floor. All night something outside was banging against something metallic. At first I thought it was the air-conditioning but I turned it off and still the sound happened regularly. It was like a cable or tile was loose, but being 5 floors up I couldn't see what it was the next morning.
I reported it to the staff, but as it's outside of the building they have to contact the maintenance team.
- 691magp (10/5): Late summer break - A great hotel in a good position, quiet but easily found and not too far from Dover.
We had an easy check-in and the room was very clean and well presented when we opened the door.
Melissa, the receptionist, made us feel welcome and helped with a small problem which arose. Throughout our stay when she was on shift, Melissa was always pleasant and made us feel welcome. She is an real asset to your company.
- lannerd2024 (10/5): Perfect stay - Absolutely fantastic staff who are so happy to help. Rooms Absolutely clean and perfect. Would definitely stay again.
- JohannesdeJong (10/5): Perfect place to stay overnight before crossing to France - Only 20 minutes to the ferrys. Perfect beds, delicious food, free parking and very friendly staff. An employee prepares your breakfast fresh to order!
- AirportStu (8/5): Overall a standard stay - just watch for the noisy side! - The location of the premier inn is nice and central and is about a 10-15 minute walk from the station. Staff were super friendly and the hotel/room was cleans and up to standard. The only thing that was a disappointment is the noise you could hear from the room. I was in room 408, where we could hear the loud music and karaoke from the pub behind and this went on until around midnight so no chance a of a nice early sleep. If you have a road side room you will be fine and maybe would have appreciated a warning from the staff at check in that this could be a possibility.
- M5389YQcarolinep (8/5): Comfortable night away. - Was very comfortable, really nice shower, lovely welcome from staff. Smell of wet dog in reception was off putting but no sign of it in room. Great parking.
Excellent breakfast and service. I don't find the evening meals are the best but plenty to choose from and edible. Ordered two different cocktails both of which they didn't have the ingredients for. I was offered my third choice for free, so was kindly rectified.
- Trek41044192360 (8/5): No problems. - The hotel had a good location at a budget price and it was also within easy walking distance of the shops. The room and bathroom were clean.
- Fearless13312738442 (10/5): Excelent! - Thank you so much for hosting our group once again. The service was very professional, the rooms were clean, and the food was delicious. Special thanks to Gosia, who took care of our reservation.
- neilrP797TB (10/5): Early check in - stay for pleasure - Great location and the ease of the check in was very good. I requested early checkin in and they couldn’t be more helpful. The rooms were very clean and had everything required. No issues at all would recommend to all. My next stay is booked for Dec
- 5-star-review-only (4/5): Not the greatest - Near to the Dover channel. Breakfast tabels are not cleaned properly, sticky tops prob from last night boozz. Breakfast is not buffet. Rooms are ok.
- 347capt (6/5): An Old Premier Inn witha willing overworked staff - An old Premier Inn very much in need of refurbishment with almost uncontrollable heating/air con . A rather tatty adjacent Beefeater in even more need of refurbishment which seemed understaffed Staff were helpful but clearly overworked
- I8418PSchrisw (10/5): Polite and courteous - The friendly staff member who was on duty to check me and my business associates in was extremely cheerful. It was around 7PM in the evening and quite late but still found time to have a human conversation which brought some normality into a crazy world. Credit to them. Hotel as standard and was clean to a degree
- Y8934EUcb (2/5): Very poor, avoid if trying to break your journey across to France - The room was very poor. Small, dirty and hot. All the rooms had a single large shower head, and so were unusable for any women with long hair.
Despite being advertised as in the countryside, there was significant road noise.
Far from a relaxing break in a journey, it adds a lot of stress.
- rich67 (10/5): Premier Inn, Cathedral Quarter, Perfect - Hotel is perfect for visiting Derby..Very central to everything... Beautiful Cathedral across the road,,and many restaurants and bars within easy walking distance
- 107saadiaa (10/5): Excellent customer service by the receptionist & breakfast team. - We stayed one night at Cathedral. The facilities were very basic of course being a budget hotel. The breakfast was basic however the noteworthy thing was these 2 lovely women(staff) attending us for breakfast. It was Friday morning, summer holidays , pretty packed up morning, slow food coming out of kitchen. Aggie & Lorraine tirelessly attended everyone with patience & politeness even in this pressured time. My son was ill they ensure I get a take-away breakfast for him. Breakfast time they were understaff so definitely need to pump up staff members at the most popular time of the day i.e breakfast.
- 108JasonR (8/5): Good hotel and location for the price - Good example of a Premier Inn, one of the better ones I’ve stayed in. Great location if you’re going to Vaillant Live for a show.
2 car parks within 2-3 minutes walking distance.
Rooms clean and comfortable, staff friendly and a very good breakfast choice.
- N6915YNtanyam (10/5): Very friendly..... - Excellent customer service.... Leighton was very friendly with a lovely smile..... very helpful indeed.
Thank you 😊
- C2538MEandrewm (10/5): Lovely hotel and fab Staff - Lovely hotel well situated in the town centre. It is approx 10 to 15 minutes walk from the railway station.
The staff on arrival were extremely courteous and helpful. In the evening the staff wee down on numbers, and were kept exceptionally busy, but all the while courteous.
The food in the evening was fantastic.
The bedroom was very clean and the beds comfy slept really well.
- TheOriginalMcFishie (10/5): Perfect place for the night - I love premier inn, you know what you're getting and it delivers. Comfortable, quiet room, friendly staff. If you're in Derby the Cathedral City property is lovely (its also air conditioned!)
- finnbeaud (10/5): Staff are very hospitable :) - Lorraine was lovely and doesn’t keep you waiting long, attitude is on point, and was great to be welcomed in to, asset to the team for sure, thank you lorraine!
- chrisrL6523TT (8/5): Everything fine, needs thought on the bed though!! - Would have been a 5, but, we felt that whilst the wetroom was very good, considering it was an accessability room the bed just appeared to be just the normal bed and low. People with reduced mobility also tend to have trouble getting off and on the bed and tend to need a higher bed. Otherwise our stay here was excellent
