"Very clean hotel, very friendly staff"

The hotel was very clean and all Covid precautions were being taken. The staff were friendly and accommodating. I have to leave a 200 character review, but there's nothing more to say, apart from I slept well!!

"1 night stay in two rooms"

As we always expect from the Premier Inn Nice clean rooms Air conditioning comfortable beds The Brewers Fayre next door not high on our list We stood for over ten minutes the afternoon the children were hungry. Not one member of staff came over to seat us . We walked out in the end and went to eat elsewhere. Breakfast we had already paid for so had to eat there. Was the most miserable messy meals. It looked like my black pud had been been cooked to a rock in the microwave. Had to ask on 4 occasions until our children’s juice was brought to our table. Bacon was soft and soggy. Horrible breakfast. It’s a shame as we regularly have breakfast with our family at our local premier inn which is always good.

"Poor amenities in every respect"

Wi-Fi not working, after calling Virgin (the it supplier) was told all Premier inn's are unable to use wi-fi on windows 10 and this has been an ongoing problem for 3 weeks. So I bought several DVD's to play on my laptop, which with a HDMI cable should have been able to plug into the rooms TV on channel 902 - channel 902 doesn't exist there. Overcharged £17.98 for two breakfasts that were half cooked, was promised refund as it should have been 50% off due to the governments Eat out and Help Out scheme, still waiting! Only 1 hand towel and 1 bath towel for two people in the room. On our my first visit the bed sheets were dirty - which were quickly changed. Our second visit, the room smelled of puke - we got a different room. This third visit is definitely the last one. Everyone makes mistakes, they happen, but ongoing and persistent poor quality is just lack of management control. Now with the Covid problems, they really are scraping the bottom of the barrel.

"Perfectly fine"

Convenient location, cheap, clean room (although it did smell a bit odd hence 4*s), staff all Covid cautious, and room was relatively quiet. I would recommend if you need to be near by. As with all premier inn, you know what you are getting! Thankyou!

Lovely, clean room but far too hot, couldn't open the windows, air conditioning kept turning itself off, this will put me off staying again, no-one available for us to tell & what do you do if there's a fire or emergency?

Hotel description Enjoy a laid-back stopover at our Premier Inn Bishop Auckland hotel. Set just a short drive away from the city centres of Durham and Darlington, it's a great base for stays in the north east. Explore the sites around this small market town - from art exhibitions to live music, there's always something going on at the Bishop Auckland Town Hall, plus Auckland Castle is a must see for history-lovers. Alternatively, why not head over to Bishop Auckland Retail Park for a bit of shopping, or tour Locomotion, the National Railway Museum at Shildon. However you choose to spend your day, our Brewers Fayre restaurant is a great place to start your evening.
