FAQs | Lone travellers

What measures are in place at Premier Inn hotels to keep me safe when I’m travelling alone?

To help our solo travellers rest easy, we have a number of simple security measures in place to ensure lone guests have a safe, comfortable and enjoyable stay with us.

 

  • At check-in, we'll hand you your room details discreetly and won't say your room number out loud, so there’s no chance of it being overheard.
  • Where possible, we won’t check vulnerable or solo female travellers into rooms that are on the ground floor or at the end of a corridor.
  • Every Premier Inn hotel has a door entry system, and only Premier Inn guests can enter after 11pm at night.
  • Our receptions are open 24 hours a day, and we’re always happy to help. Receptions are manned throughout most of the day – plus there’s a buzzer to call us if there isn’t a member of our team at the desk.
  • Every bedroom door is fitted with a deadlock or chain.

If you're eating alone, many of our restaurants feature quieter corners where you can enjoy your meal undisturbed.
