High Wycombe / Beaconsfield Hotel

Das Premier Inn ist eigentlich eine bessere Absteige. Hört sich sehr negativ an, ist aber so. Eher etwas für die untere, englische Mittelklasse. Für Business Trips nur in Ausnahmefällen. Die Zimmer sind zwar sauber, wirken trotzdem schmuddelig und abgenutzt. Das Bad verfügt über Badewanne. Kein Fön entdeckt. TV vorhanden. In den unteren Zimmern kaum Handy-Empfang. Das Restaurant ist eine Art Fast-Food-Bude, das Essen dem entsprechend. In der Nähe gibt es ein Curry House (100m) und einen Marks & Spencer (2 km). Eines Abends habe ich ein Tier "in den Wänden" laufen gehört. Beim Einchecken hat mich die Dame an der Rezeption gefragt, ob ich wirklich vier Nächte hier bleibe. Wenn das Nichts heißt!

Excellent customer service and rooms are quite good

We often stay in Premier Inns particularly when needing an airport hotel or visiting friends and family and just want somewhere to sleep. This was the first time we had stayed in the High Wycombe (Loudwater) hotel but we knew it from when we used to live nearby. The hotel is one of their older properties with newer extensions and has free on-site parking which is a plus. However it does get busy so spaces are sometimes at a premium. The location is great as it is off the A40 near junction 3 of the M40, yet it is reasonably quiet. The rooms are a good size and there is a lift . As it is an older hotel there is no air conditioning but they did provide a fan. Tea and coffee making facilities are available in the room and replacement supplies are found in reception. You can also get free bottled water on request . The beds are comfortable however on this occasion due to the warm weather, we found the duvet too warm. We had an accessible room for this visit and it was fine. The bathroom had a shower over the bath, but it was a low bath so reasonably easy to get in and out. We only had breakfast one morning as we were eating out or at friends. Breakfast wasn’t great. However if you are there with a family it is probably fine. There are a range of restaurants in the area, some of which you can walk to.

At the moment the parking is a nightmare as I work nights and when I get back in the morning trying to find a parking spot is not good but understandable with the works going on. The lady on reception kul is absolutely fantastic and always will to help lovely lady and a nice change to see a friendly face behind the reception that makes you feel welcome.

This is a conveniently placed PI with the usual PI rooms and standards. They made the point that there was building work going on and no air con but I booked anyway. The building works were of no real consequence as it was a friday night but the room was exceedingly hot so I would avoid there this summer until air con has been installed ( though the price probably reflects the inconvenience). I ate in the restaurant which was awful.
