Rainham (Kent) Hotel

Un hotel normal, sencillo y funcional, ideal para una estancia práctica. Lo que realmente destaca es el servicio de recepción: el personal es muy amable, atento y siempre dispuesto a ayudar, lo que hace que la experiencia sea mucho más agradable. El desayuno lo deberían mejorar, es en el local de al lado.

Came into this room and smelt like pickles! Soon to find out, it was juice all over the bathroom floor…. Or vinegar? Room was jet hot and curtains had mysterious substances clung to them? Hesitant to close and still looked wet?! Good luck if you’re coming here! Hotter than the surface of the sun!

We arrived after 10 hours drive from Cornwall (traffic was horrendous) to meet a friend so we could have a meal at the onsite restaurant but the resection said that the staff had refused to come in that night and that this had been an on going occurance and when asked if we could have breakfast they were reluctant to suggest.I had to drive to a restaurant near by so I count have a drink ( which I had been looking forward to after such a stressful day). I had booked a twin but the room was set up as a double, these things happen but the staff said that they had lots of unoccupied rooms available and they would swap us. The room on initial inspection was tidy however the bathroom was grubby and had mould on the ceiling. The room they gave us was directly adjacent to the reception entrance and the stopper on the door clearly was faulty as everytime the closed it was slow to close and then the last couple of inches had no resistance so banged shut very loudly. At about 12 I asked reception if there was anything they could do about it or at the very least put in a maintenance request regarding it but it continued intermittently all night. it started myself and my guest to the point where we debated whether of not it was worth going back to sleep. I explained this to the morning staff and they said that they were sorry but nothing more. I am incredibly frustrated as I regularly choose Premier inn when working and to just be dismissed a fairly lacklustre "I'm sorry" does not give incentive to want to use again. I gave the staff multiple point to address the issues and I saw no evidence of them even documenting this things as I probably wouldn't have had to repeat the story from the beginning each time I spoke to them.

We stay at Premier Inn several times a year all around the UK so have a fairly good idea of the standard level of service and accommodation. Rainham (Kent) is our second worst experience (second to Stevenage). Whilst the hotel meets the usual standard, the restaurant is beyond tired. Had we not booked the meal deal, we would not have eaten here. The 'chef' handled food without any apparent hand washing before or after. The carpets appear dirty. The furniture is dire. It feels dirty. Outside the building has not been maintained. Dog pooh on the decking. Picnic tables suitable only for firewood. This is an absolute four lettered word hole. Never again.

Stay in Premier Inn's a lot for work and never wrote a review. But laying here after being awoken by a delivery to their hotel, to end a miserable stay here. Loud music being played for sometime by the lorry driver collecting laundry. After 10 mins of listening to this at 10 o clock went outside to get some fresh air (AC was pointless in the room), couldn't get out the hotel for a while as said lorry driver had blocked the exit with laundry trolleys. Waited ages at reception for someone to actually check me in on arrival, no lift, hotel is very drab and tired and beefeater restaurant was closed (it was 6 o clock) next door but wasn't told by reception even though had a meal deal thing booked through work as part of package. Now laying here with the window open as AC is rubbish (room is very warm) listening to every boy racer and moped with massive exhaust racing up and down the road. Will be cancelling second night and looking for somewhere else. Amazing how the consistency of premier inn's vary so much, this is certainly one of the worst stayed in.
