"Delighted!!"

A wonderful experience in every way. This was my first stay at a Premier Inn. It will definitely not be my last. During my three night stay, I can honestly say that everything about the Premier Inn at Matlock was first class. So pleased that I have already booked to stay at the Premier in Stratford on Avon in the very near future. Well done to all and keep up the good work !!

"Nice stay thankyou"

Living in the area as a boy, I wanted to bring my girlfriend to the area for a visit. she had never been into deepest Derbyshire before. Being her birthday and valentines day on the same day I was worried about price and availability. The Premier Inn was a fantastic price, which included bed, breakfast and the evening meal. We spent the day in around Matlock and was very pleased with the hotel and all of the staff we came into contact with. I had asked for a couple of extras for her birthday, all sorted with no problem. Eating was relaxed and the food excellent. I would highly recommend a stay at this little Premier Inn. She was so impressed with the hotel and the Derbyshire area, she wants to return.

"Really needs a more relaxing bar area to make it a 5"

Having just returned from a 2 night stay at this hotel we have both reflected on what score to rate it. In many ways it was excellent, but in others it was average so we went for the one in the middle First of all, check in. As a previous poster has mentioned the new automated machine was a real pain and didn't work for us at all. (Similarly, it did not work for the family behind us). Personally we hate these new machines - prefer to be greeted by a real human being and I think that PI has lost something using these as we always found their 'human' welcomes and greetings to be about the best in the business. There was someone there as well so why they need these machines is beyond me. The room was ok. This is a relatively new hotel so I suppose this should be their best. It was spotlessly clean and the bathroom sparkling. The water pressure was very good and the air conditioning / heating system was very good. (Good as the windows did not open). Generally the hotel was very, very quiet and our room was close to the lift / door so credit to the design. I suppose the only noise we had was one family who seemed to let their children charge up and down the corridor one morning oblivious to the fact that there was anyone else there, but that was not the PI's fault, just annoying guests. One thing that we did notice was that the beds in these new PIs seem very hard, not sure why but they are not as comfortable as they used to be. We also find storage an issue as there are no drawers at all so we used our small suitcase to keep smaller items in. The new décor looks really good, but in this area it is not practical. Food. We had Meal Deals for 2 evenings which basically gave us a 2 course evening meal, a glass of wine and breakfast for £25 each. It was excellent value and we found that the meals on both evenings were excellent. A shame though that this is a limited menu for Thyme as I personally found it a bit limiting. Well done to the young man who prepares all of these meals on his own in the evening - give him a pay rise ! Breakfast was equally was good and service was quick and efficient. The staff kept everywhere clean and those on the kitchen were really helpful and again the food was excellent. Staff. We found that the majority of staff were very helpful, polite and friendly. A special mention to Vicky who served us on a number of occasions. Location: The PI is about 15 - 20 minutes walk to Matlock and about 50 minutes to Matlock Bath. I suppose the only thing that let this hotel down was the lack of a relaxing lounge / bar area. We realise that this is a smaller PI and has a Thyme restaurant but in others we have been to there has been a nice seating area where you can return from a day out and chill with a drink. Obviously, other PIs have a Beefeater / Brewers Fayre where you can relax and we thought that this was something that they need to review. Am not sure how they do it, but creating more of a space may help. Finally, there was a nice desk area to support local charities with such things as games to hire and information booklets. There were also lots of tea bags, coffees and milks if you did not have enough. Overall a good stay and thanks to the staff who make this hotel 'work' despite its shortcomings. Would we return? We may do but only for an over night and not for a 2 / 3 day stay as we would probably look for other accommodation in the area as we really missed somewhere to just relax, soak up the atmosphere and have an end of the day drink.

"Good stay but...."

Stayed here for a couple of nights this week while working in the area. I would have given the hotel a higher score, but felt the need to lower it due to the overall experience. The check in was a bit laborious, we tried the auto onscreen option which failed to work. Once in the rooms were to the usual premier inn standard with the really good beds this chain use. Breakfast was OK, the buffet could have maybe been hotter, and the poached eggs while cooked (just enough) left the plate swimming in water which would not have mixed well with the other items had I not mopped it up myself. We ate in the thyme restaurant one night which was a bit underwhelming. The menu is OK I guess, with a mix of burgers, grills, a few "ping" meals and a few daily specials. I did pick a special, slow cooked lamb shank rogan josh which was a fairly tough lamb shank sitting atop Uncle Bens rice smothered in some kind of curry sauce with a cardboard nan bread. I instantly knew I should have gone for my colleagues choice of mixed grill. The other thing this place needs is a more relaxed lounge area. Yes, you can simply sit in the restaurant for a drink but it would be nice to relax on easier chairs. There were a couple, but it needs more. Parking is good, and the pretty busy A6 alongside was no problem with noise. At the price, this makes a good overnight base in the area.

Hotel description If you're planning a trip to the Peak District or have business in Derbyshire, you're guaranteed a great night's sleep in our Matlock hotel. On the edge of town and less than a mile from the train station, Premier Inn Matlock is only a couple of miles from the Victorian spa resort of Matlock Bath. Today, the Peak District Mining Museum and Heights of Abraham country park bring visitors to the area. After a day of fresh air and activity, have dinner at Thyme then relax in one of our new-generation bedrooms each featuring an impressive 40" flat screen TV, bright, modern bathroom with a large shower head and slumber-inducing, king-size Hypnos bed.
