Thirsk Hotel

Nice clean modern hotel on outskirts of Thirsk. Standard room with all facilities you need and quiet stay. Aldi just across the road for snacks etc, drive into town centre 5 minutes. Very large free car park, tip to park at rear of hotel, you get closer to reception, but have to walk on grass for 20 yards. Got a good rate on a Friday night.

The biggest downer was the price if drinks in the restaurant. £5.10 for a small beer which equated to £10.20 a pint was well over priced. The lack of reception staff on arrival just an automated check in in most cases did not give you a welcoming experience. Most of the items in the cooked breakfast were either just warm or cold. To be told that there could be a 20 minute wait for our order to be taken in a virtually empty restaurant as they were busy that night was confusing. The hotel itself was in a nice location, was quiet through the night and was very clean and tidy. There is a pub and supermarket in walking distance.

Stayed for 5 nights to visit the area which is lovely. Unfortunately had issues with the room. No cold water in the bathroom just very hot no matter which way you turned the tap. Went to Reception who said it was due to lots of guests having showers and gave us some bottles of water. Next day same issue so reported it again. When we came back in the afternoon there was a note to say it seemed ok. It wasn't. They arranged for someone to look into it but had to wait as not urgent! It was then apparently fixed but then only cold water no hot. They offered to move rooms but no other premier plus rooms available and no offer to refund the extra cost, as we only had 1 night left it wasn't worth moving. Only had one evening meal in the restaurant which was good. We were comped a breakfast which wasn't particularly good. The hot food had obviously been out for a while as all looked dried up and unappetising and only 1 slice of bread for toast and a lonely crumpet. The room was always very warm and the Aircon only worked intermittently but there was a fan. Having stayed here before a few years ago it was disappointing that time it wasn't as good. The staff were all friendly.

Premier inn Thirsk is a great place to stay to explore the local area. Our stay was for a week from 4th April to 11th April 2026. The room was nice and tidy and clean and facilitues were excelent, breakfast was plentiful staff were friendly and one staff member was very helpful in sharing information on places we had decided to visit. Unfortunatly on the 3 hotest days of our stay 6th, 7th, 8th there was no air in the room, we were in room 222 and a sign on the window says window does not open but there is a constant flow of air, im sorry to say in the case of room 222 this is not true it got to the point that in the evenings we had to prop the door open to let cool air from the corridor in and hot air out and at night we had to leave the extractor fan running by leaving the bathroom light on all night to take some of the heat away. I dont understand why a hotel would be built with sealed windows surely this is a fire risk. Another issue was no hot water in the mornings when needed for a wash but was working in the late afternoon and evening.

Great service and wonderful food as always, 100% recommended.
