Chippenham Hotel

Sehr gutes Preis-Leistung-Verhältnis. Die Dame am Empfang hat uns mit Tipps für Dinner versorgt und auch die Kühlaggregate in den Eisschrank getan. Kleinigkeiten, die aber nicht selbstverständlich sind und äußerst hilfreich waren.

Aufgrund eines berufliches Termins in Melksham habe ich in Chippenham im Premier Inn übernachtet. Das Zimmer an sich war soweit sauber und entsprechend der anderen Premier Inn's in England soweit ganz gut. Jedoch wurde mir das Zimmer 17 zugewiesen und es war unmöglich dort eine ruhige Nacht zu verbringen. Aufgrund der Lage des Zimmers waren bis spät in der Nacht als auch am frühen Morgen [ab 6 Uhr] laute Geräusche [vorbeigehen am Zimmer & Geräusche aus der ersten Etage] zu hören. Entsprechend kurz und unentspannt war die Nacht. Das Frühstück war typisch britisch und leider wie in allen Premier Inn eher durchschnittlich. Entspechend kann ich leider keine gute Bewertung abgeben. Der Service war soweit OK und in Anbetracht der schlechten Übernachtung ist die Preis-Leistung auch Mangelhaft.

Servizio pessimo, ci hanno dato camera disabili e il wc era sporco di cacca. Volevamo riposarci, ma per quanto era sporco abbiamo preferito uscire, siamo tornati giusto per dormire un paio d’ore e siamo scappati. Alla reception ovviamente non c’era nessuno per poter fare un reclamo…bene! Mai piu questa catena di hotel

We had a really great stay here while attending a nearby wedding. We were able to check in early, and although there isn't air-conditioning at the site the team had put fans in the room, shut the curtains and opened the windows to keep things as cool as possible. Special mention to Jordan who was so accommodating and friendly with some excellent breakfast recommendations - he is a star!!

The good points first .... let's be positive. Free parking and a friendly welcome, so far so good. Brewers Fayre next door clean, friendly staff and good servoce. Nice food breakfast and dinner. Tick. Ok, so here goes. My ground floor room (24) was right in the rear corner of the building, so a long hike from reception and west-facing so heats like an oven in the afternoon. Big laminated notice on the bed announcing that there's no aircon, and the window only opens a crack. Because of the heat, they've helpfully packed the duvet away under the bed and just left its cover on top. Ok so far. Just about. However, you then discover the wifi download speed is 1.1 Mbps which means no usable internet, and no connection whatsoever in the restaurant. Have a shower instead you say, but the shower-head won't adjust for height or angle so just squirts straight downwards. Paitwork in the bathroom is scuffed and tired. Finally, and best of all, when you wake up feeling chilly in the small hours and pull out the duvet, you find a lovely great brown urine patch right in the middle! Now we know why they hid it under the bed! Premier Inn, you should be ashamed of yourselves. Everyone else, AVOID!
