Question 48

Can I book for someone else?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, you can book for another person in accordance with our terms and conditions at premierinn.com. It is important to understand however that it is you, the booker, who is responsible for ensuring that each person who stays at the hotel under your booking complies with our terms and conditions. This means that even if you make a booking for someone else’s benefit and you don’t stay yourself, you must ensure your guest complies with the terms of your booking, such as by checking out on time. Additionally, it is you, the booker – not your guest - who is liable in the rare event any damage may be caused during the stay. When booking a hotel for another person you will simply need to provide their full name at the time of booking and secure payment with your card details in advance.

Additionally, in accordance with the Immigration (Hotel Records) Order 1972, we are obliged to collect the full name and nationality details of all guests and for non-British Nationals and we are also required to collate passport details and details on the guests next destination. We therefore strongly encourage you to check with your guest or guests ahead of their stay that they are able to provide these details in order to prevent confusion at check-in or disappointment if they are unable to stay due to being unable to provide the necessary information.

Question 49

Can I check in if the booking is under someone else’s name?

Yes. You’ll need to bring the lead guest’s full name and booking reference. To make things easier – and to keep all your personal information secure – it’s best if details for all guests are updated in advance.

Question 50

Do I need to print my booking confirmation?

Accepted Answer

Question 57

Question 59

Accepted Answer

You can make bookings up to 12 months in advance.

Question 60

Question 61

I haven’t received my email confirmation. What should I do?

Question 64

I want to make a booking for one night but your system only has availability if I select to stay longer, why is that?

Accepted Answer

The reason you are unable to book for the date(s) required is due to limited availability. A small number of rooms are held for those guests who wish to stay for a longer duration and at present these are the only rooms available. Why not see if there is an alternative Premier Inn hotel with availability nearby?
