"As normal !"

I often stay at Premier Inn, first time for this one in Bedford and it didn't disappoint, nice staff on reception to welcome you, the bed as normal was very comfortable. It was a covid stay so nice to see sanitiser etc in place. As for location right on the Priory Marina, nice to come out to see the water and hear the birds, yet so close to Bedford. OK so during these times i had to wear a mask in the corridors etc, well big deal...some have said Not for me at the moment....well i have asthma / heart issues and had no worries about wearing a mask in the corridors. Place was clean and tidy as i have found all premier Inns to be. Sorry about the next lock down, when you are open i shall return, many thanks

"Enjoyable short break"

Just got back from a 3 night stay, we were greeted by warm and friendly reception staff who explained the covid restrictions and were more than happy to give more teabags whenever they were required, we had a clean and spacious room with ensuite. Over in the Beefeater restaurant where we had 2 evening meals and 3 breakfasts, the staff were all good humoured, polite and welcoming, on our 1st evening it didn't take long for Bossman Samuel's sense of humour to show and a thourougly enjoyable evening was had and the food was delicious. Our morning waitress was Bethan, again another pleasant, friendly member of staff who sadly on our 2nd morning had to put up with several obnoxious guests, she dealt with them calmly and politely, when she returned to us she apologised (for incidents that weren't her fault) and carried on afterwards as if they'd never happened, very comendable in someone so young. On our final evening it was Steph's turn to wait on us, again very polite and friendly, the food was good and we both really enjoyed it. Steph was asked (by Samuel) to bring a little something extra with the bill, she was a little worried to begin with until the joke was explained, well played Sir, Paddington tips his hat to you.

"Very clean stay."

The cleanest, almost clinical stay you will have. Premier inn is standard issue with no frills and during COVID, even less so. All the annoying pamphlets and bits have been removed, but the coffee station has also been reduced, meaning one has to ask for things to have a cup of tea on arrival. The restaurant is a no-go, rather find an alternative. Even with the breakfast refund, I would not try it again. It was rushed and then we waited...l 2 hours! A good thing there was no where to be going or we would have missed andy connection. Then the coffee was cold, the eggs overdone, and the manager couldn't get off his high horse. Disappointing.

"Not for me at the moment"

I wanted to enjoy it as i love premier inns but its no longer for me under the current situation. Though i fully understand about masks i struggle with breathing. And i get eczema and was virtually forced to used the sanitizer, certainly put under pressure to use it. I will go back if ever things resume to normality but not under these conditions. Those of you with no problems will have no issues.

"Great service in very challenging times"

Very simple, we enjoyed a lovely meal somewhere we wouldn’t normally choose and it was great! You can see the staff are doing their very best to do all and more than is required from them in these strange and challenging times. Shout out for AJ and Bobby. Both really want to do the best they can. Thanks for the great service!

Hotel description Moor up for the night at Premier Inn Bedford (Priory Marina) and you'll be sure of a great night's sleep. Located right next to the marina and lake in the tranquil Priory Country Park, yet within a 5-minute drive of Bedford town centre, you'll have a whole fleet of entertainment options within easy reach. Take the inside track at Bedford International Athletic Stadium. Hit the big sales at Milton Keynes' shopping malls. Plot a course to London on the fast train to St Pancras. Then drop into our tasty restaurant with attractive alfresco dining area, and drift off in an extra-comfy bed.
