Preston Central Hotel

Das Premier Inn liegt in einer Querstraße der Einkaufsstr. Vom Bahnhof sind es knapp 5 zu Fuß. In unmittelbarer Umgebung sind viele Bars und Restaurants. Der Check in verläuft sehr freundlich und schnell. Die Zimmer sind gut eingerichtet und sauber. An einigen Stellen müssten mal kleinere Schönheitsarbeiten vorgenommen werden. Trotz der Lage ist es sehr ruhig in den Zimmern. Das Frühstück hat den üblichen Premier Inn Standard und ist sehr lecker.

lediglich das Angebot, ein WIFI-upgrade extra zu bezahlen ist nicht mehr zeitgemäß. Ansonsten gibt es nichts auszusetzen, gerne wieder! Die Lage war top, Nähe Bahnhof und nahe dem Stadtzentrum. Optimal für einen Kurztrip.

A regular user of Premier Inns around the country, I have to say this one is up there with the best, if not the best. All of the staff were friendly and always greeted you with a smile and a hello even though they were busy. At breakfast the food was all lovely and warm due to the fact they keep it covered here unlike other PI's who leave it all uncovered. Serving spoons and tongs were also a great touch. Check in was a tad glitchy as the computer was playing up but all kept light hearted and it was only a few minutes. There was a slight "Drain" smell from the bathroom in room 202 but nothing major. Would happily stay here again and thank you to the friendly,chatty staff. Whitbread take note, this is the standard to which all of your hotels should strive to achieve, great customer service, warm food and a warm welcome.

Hotel is located reasonably close to the city centre, but is in an area of complex one-way and restricted road systems - a particularly confusing "bus gate" is in operation at certain times of the day making planning journey's less simple than it could otherwise be, dependant on the time you're traveling (if you're driving). Additionally, the hotel doesn't have it's own car parking facilities, making car parking inconvenient and expensive (roughly £10 for 24 hours) at the nearest public car park - about a 5 minute walk from the hotel. Sadly the hotel scores the worst when it comes to the evening meals. While the menu choice is sufficient and the food is decent - it's the service - because there isn't a "branded" restaurant. With only a "skeleton" team running waiter/waitressing, plus cooking in the kitchen plus running the bar for anyone not eating and just wanting a drink AND running the reception. I feel that just 4 members of staff were/are not sufficient to maintain even a fair level of service. Plan ahead for evening meals to find alternatives as there are few options (other than independent, fast food takeaways) nearby. Breakfast is the usual self-serve hot and cold buffet that we come to expect from Premier Inn and is reasonably good.

Dirty entrance not what I’m used to when normally stay in a premier inn , also stairway leading to room dirty The actual room was fine just the rest let it down
