Doncaster (Lakeside) Hotel

Stopped at the Premier Inn Doncaster (Lakeside) Hotel earlier in the week. It’s a large hotel with ample car parking, located next to a popular retail outlet village, and has a pleasant, easy 2 mile walk around a manmade lake, just across the road. Our room was in a separate new-build annexe across the car park from the main hotel, and for some reason we’d been upgraded to a Premier Inn Plus Room - Thanks! All the things we like - bedside plug points, USB A and USB C sockets, and great air conditioning – were all present. Being a Premier Plus room it also contained two comfy chairs and table, a Nespresso type coffee machine, two small bars of chocolate, a refrigerator with complimentary bottled water, and a choice of shower gels - although one bottle of shower gel in our room was empty. We ate at the Beefeater Restaurant in the evening, which is clearly going to change, due to Whitbread’s recent announcements regarding this chain. The food was good and the service friendly and efficient. As was the breakfast in the morning. In summary the hotel fulfilled our expectations. We left wondering if we’d pay for a Premier Inn Plus room, and the answer is probably not, but we were happy to take the free upgrade for the night.

Ideal location. Restaurant was closed. Drink machine in lobby not working. Took my money but no drink.

Lovely clean room. A fantastic member of staff greeted us and really made us feel welcomed. This lady went the extra mile at every opportunity, offering sweets to my daughter, asking us questions, it's really the little things that make it personal rather than just another customer. I wish I got her name but she checked us in and out faultlessly. Good location, great parking. Will be returning in the not too distant future.

The hotel is in a great location, and the rooms are very clean. Mandira on reception was incredibly helpful and accommodating. She arranged for me to stay in an end room in the annex because I work night shifts, which meant I wasn’t disturbed in the mornings. I really appreciated her kindness and excellent customer service. I would happily stay here again.

Mandira was super helpful on arrival. Thank you!
