"Great Hotel"

This is one of my favourite places to stay whenever I am in Milton Keynes. It's very central right in the Theatre District and across the road from the XScape. The room rates tend to be excellent value if you book in advance. I stayed for 1 night on Friday 4th September. Check-in was smooth and easy and the reception staff member was very friendly. There are plenty of Covid related changes within the hotel such as screens in front of the check-in desks, masks required in public areas, handgel stations etc. If you are driving, they have car parking spaces right outside the hotel and it's £4 for 24 hours. The parking machine is no longer there so you either have to download an app or pay at reception and give them your vehicle reg. My room was on the 5th floor (right at the top). Very clean and comfortable. Equipped with everything I needed including a decent size TV. Overall, a great hotel and good value if you're staying in MK and want to be central / close to attractions.

"Disappointing for Premier Inn"

My partner and I stayed at Premier Inn MK Theatre District to celebrate a friend’s birthday in the nearby amenities. We arrived at the hotel to check in with a PREPAID parking space, to be greeted to a completely full car park. Naturally, I went into reception to query where we were supposed to park, to be told “oh sorry, I’ll refund you”. The money is not the issue, if you book a hotel, you expect to have a room, likewise if you book and pay for a car park space, you should expect to be able to park. I understand the car park is a third party company, however it is advertised by Premier Inn as a Premier Inn car park for Premier Inn guests (with signage included), therefore Premier Inn should be liable in some way to how customers are looked after when things go wrong. We were told no further information about the area or where to park, just ‘sorry’ which for a hotel, is quite frankly abysmal. I was told to wait for a manager so that this could be refunded. To which when he arrived we were told “oh we can’t do anything you have to do it on their website”. Fab. So why could I not be told that to begin with? Why was I pushed from pillar to post to get an answer like that? Again, the manager made no attempt to rectify what had happened nor gave any alternative. Once we arrived into our room (which as others have also commented), there was no ventilation. We were provided with one flat pillow each, which as a frequent Premier Inn customer, I am aware that you are usually provided with two extra pillows placed in or around the wardrobe. These ‘extra’ were nowhere to be seen, and by the time we had realised, we were too shattered to go down 4 flights of stairs to go into the empty hotel lobby and wait to be provided with them. Lastly, at 11am, just as we were about to check out, we were kindly greeted to the sound of a fire alarm, to which my partner and I panicked and went to rush out, for then the alarm to stop. This was quite obviously a fire alarm test, which we were told NOTHING about. What if I had a sleeping baby with me, or was autistic (or other disorders that can be severely affected by noises like this), or suffered from PTSD which was triggered by loud unannounced noises? It is besides the point, that luckily none of us were affected by the noise. But there was NOWHERE that stated this was going to happen, nor were we informed about it. I felt extremely sorry for the poor chap at the front desk, as he was clearly finding it quite stressful dealing with several customers all having issues, with the manager staying in his office providing next to no support for him. Very disappointing from Premier Inn. The attention to detail was very slack for what you expect from a “good night’s guaranteed” claim.

"Overnight stay "

We stayed for one night here, very central for shopping and entertainment just across the road from escape, good sized rooms, lots of sanitiser stations as you come in and just inside restaurant area. Good breakfast following morning everything made to order, well done to fawad who waited on us this morning who was really busy out the front of the restaurant efficient taking orders, bringing food cleaning and clearing. Unfortunately he was so busy as a party of 3 we didn’t get to say thank you to him.

"Mini Break with children"

First hotel stay since covid. Easy check in process & parking. Great location to access all tourist attractions. Very friendly & helpful reception staff throughout our 2 night stay. Asked if we needed more tea & coffee in our room on the 2nd day. Clean room. Felt safe. Usual great premier in breakfast cooked to order. Filled you up for the day. Only difference was that you had to specify what time you wanted breakfast but this wasn’t an issue. Lovely staff member at breakfast who couldn’t do enough for our group. Definitely recommend. One suggestion- some sachets of hot chocolate would be a nice addition to the tea & coffee tray in the rooms. 😄
