"Premier Inn Bedford"

Fantastic place to stay. So handy for riverside walk. And food and places to eat. Very close to Bedford town centre. Parking by hotel. Cinema next door. It’s my favourite hotel in Bedford. We make the most of all amenities while here

"Good location"

We picked this hotel because of the location and it was perfect. The room and bathroom size was excellent but required hoovering and was not cleaned on check in, so I advised reception while we went out if it could be cleaned only to return and one half of the room was hoovered and the remaining half inc the bathroom was still not cleaned.

"Fire alarm 🚨"

I’m not normally one to complain, or make a review, however, I have so many things to complain about, I’m not sure where to start! 3 room changes - Bed had blood on, dirty cups, broken bed, no remote control, bins not emptied, toilet rolls not replenished, bed not made (we stayed 2 nights) and shower curtain dirty. They sorted the room changes efficiently but even so not what you expect from a Premier Inn. As another review mentioned, no telephone in the room so every time you have to go down to Reception. Fire alarms going off in middle of night - Guests evacuated but NO staff to be seen anywhere. After standing in the cold for 30 minutes and no sign of staff to see if we were all there and safe or the fire brigade turning up I took the initiative to ring the fire bridgade who came promptly. Surely it shouldn’t have been down to a guest to call 999!! Thankfully it was a false alarm, but what if it wasn’t? When we did return to our room there was one member of staff at reception who upon asking what their fire procedure was he couldn’t answer and just apologised!! I sincerely hope they look into this for the safety of any further guests. We will never return to this hotel for sure.

"Great location, friendly staff"

We loved our room with a river view and the fact that the hotel was only a few minutes' walk from the town centre. We didn't eat here but had a drink in the bar, where the staff went out of their way to tell us that ordering two large glasses of red wine meant we got the rest of the bottle free, which we wouldn't have known. The only disadvantage was that the hotel doesn't have a car park, but as there are lots in the town centre, that wasn't too much of a problem.

"Budget hotel in a dodgy location . Bad housekeeping"

Located near town centre in an area which was rather dodgy . Got asked by men for money twice at night over the period of my stay. No on site parking .off site parking was £13 per night. Public parking next to the hotel was unsafe. Very poor housekeeping, empty shower gel and toilet tissue not replenished. In room coffee was also not replenished . No phone in the room . No ironing facility. Got to go down to reception on 1st floor to report any problem . Only 1 towel per room for 2 people. Towel smelled bad and unclean , some had brown stains .

Hotel description You'll find our Premier Inn Bedford Town Centre (Riverside) hotel perched right on Bedford's tranquil riverside, close to town and the M1, as well as some beautiful open spaces like Priory Country Park. There’s loads to do here - get competitive at Mowsbury Golf Course, discover the medieval history of Bedford Castle or marvel at the vintage aircraft at the Shuttleworth Collection. We’re also within easy reach of Milton Keynes, Northampton, Cambridge and Luton, as well as Wrest Park, Bedford Swan and Woburn Abbey if you’re in town for a special occasion. After a day out and about, head back for a tasty dinner at our Thyme restaurant and then relax and recharge in your comfy, kingsize Hypnos bed.
