"Family overnight stay"

As always I love where this hotel is situated right on the edge of the river. It was a bit sad that we could only buy bottles and take them back to our room you couldn’t even sit in the bar area, there was no evening meal (given the covid situation) but lots of restaurants on your doorstep As always though a lovely night away

"Great ajoining rooms for our family"

The hotel was really ideal and location and the car park near by was so easy and cheap too at River Street Car park multi storey. Spotlessly clean in the rooms and the restaurant. This is a great place for a family that want adjoining rooms as it made it so easy for us as a large family. Fully recommended.

"Great value"

Nice & comfortable hotel room spotlessly clean. Felt quite a new hotel Very cheap rates even though parking is extra. Basic overnight validated at the car park in the shopping centre opposite & you won't necessarily see the hotel before parking the car. I also needed to upgrade wifi for £5 to do the Zoom thing at a speed I wanted. Cheery enough welcome & departure from staff All good. I had been paying double the rate for fancy hotels & b&bs across Scotland over the previous couple of weeks & I thought this was fine- certainly better than the basic I expected

"First time @ a Premier Inn"

Great location friendly informative reception staff - good sized and well equipped room very comfortable bed, good bathroom with excellent shower only slight negative was the workstation surface and glasses were dusty with some hairs present perhaps due to lack of use with Covid - overall a great couple of nights sleep would definitely stay again

"Good Hotel. Shame about the lack ofparking"

This Premier Inn is as central to Bedford as you can get. It is built on the site of the former market. This is the problem the avaricious local council did not allow any onsite parking which means you have to pay £2 per hr to park next to the Hotel or around £6 for overnight parking in the multistory opposite. Inside it is new, clean and the staff are friendly and helpful. It has a relaxed atmosphere and the service is good. The food is OK. The cooked breakfast was only warm and some of the toast would fall foul of the trades description act being nearly bread.

Hotel description You will find our Premier Inn Bedford Town Centre (Riversi de) hotel perched right on Bedfords tranquil riverside, close to town and the M1, as well as some beautiful open spaces like Priory Country Park. There is loads to do here - get competitive at Mowsbury Golf Course, discover medieval history of Bedford Castle or marvel at the vintage aircraft at the Shuttleworth Collection. We are also within an easy reach of Milton Keynes, Northampton, Cambridge and Luton, as well as Wrest Park, Bedford Swan and Woburn Abbey if you are 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.
