"Nothing like it usually is"

As a family we love a short break away in a premier inn, we have traveled around different parts of the coast staying in many as you always no what you are getting, not this one, don’t be fooled by the trendy looking rooms on the website over looking the sea. On arrival we were greeted by a friendly member of staff who gave us our key, it went downhill after this, we went to our room overlooking some ugly buildings & industrial rooftops, the furniture is old & scuffed the plaster on the ceiling above the child bed is all coming away & looks like it will fall down any minute (my son refused to sleep in that bed as he was scared it would fall) bathroom ok just a shower (never experienced this in a prem) not great when you have kids. We asked if we could change room as really needed a bath but the hotel was fully booked so nothing a available, was told someone would contact us in the morning to see about changing ( never heard a thing) Breakfast was a shambles & very busy not much food people queuing in front of empty hot plates waiting for the fresh stuff, while doing this no one could get to what was there. Dinner the last straw was when we went down for dinner at 7.45 (should of booked) plenty of empty tables but no availability until 8.30 was told to wait & would definitely get a table at 8,30........5 past 8 a lady walks in with 2 small children & another adult asks for table told there is none, she says something waitress goes off speaks to manager we had spoken to & all of a sudden they have miraculously found a table, at this point my husband steps in & tells the waitress we were told to wait as no tables she looks baffled shrugs her shoulders & says well 1 of you should choose, lovely lady with small children says she is happy for us to take the table & she will eat in her room, no way my husband would let that happen so says haven’t you got a table for us both? Woman says no so my husband is insistent lady with small children takes the table, we leave & go to a restaurant outside of hotel & husband now refuses to give restaurant or hotel anymore of our money.... still here 1 more night what more could go wrong....

"Not up to usual Premier Inn Standards"

On arrival we were allocated room 419. On entering the room (which overlooked a range of decaying rooftops), the room was dark and oppressive with wallpaper peeling off the wall in numerous places. Where the wallpaper was intact it was marked and dirty. Realising our disappointment and that this was not a room I was willing to spend more than 5 minutes in, we asked reception whether they could provide a room in a better state of repair. We were then allocated a room (314), which was better but far from perfect but did have a sea view. The main issues with this room was that it was also in need of a general refurb, with windows which did not offer adequate soundproofing from the noisy street below. This meant that over the days (whilst the bed was comfy!) we were there we were awoken by early morning buses, arguments between people coming out of the bar below, and boy racers during the early hours of the morning. Table tops and furniture looked like it should have been replaced about 10 years ago. There was an additional heater in the bedroom, we did not use the air con as we found it too noisy, although we could still hear the whirring of neighbouring air con systems and conversations from the neighbouring rooms, not because they were particularly noisy but because the soundproofing between rooms were so thin. We ate in the restaurant in the evening. We found the service slow and food mediocre. Breakfast was also mediocre and chaotic, having to look through lots of dirty bowls and plates before finding a clean one. The same was true of the cups and glasses. Generally the restaurant and bar was understaffed and whenever turning up at the bar or to get a table for breakfast there was often no staff to be found. We use Premier Inn’s on a regular basis and our experience in the past has been very positive. This experience has left us hesitant in using Premier Inn going forward, given the poor experiences at this hotel.

"Very disappointed"

I normally really enjoy staying at premier in. On my arrival it took a while for a member of staff to come out and greet me, they advised my rooms not ready, so asked a direction of where I was trying to go too, which was only 5mins away , no help or offer off a taxi. Once returning for my room, I was just passed my key no help to advise where to go, I found my room, as I have disablities it was not a easy smooth check in. Once entering the room, room very tired, toilet that didn't flush properly, wardrobe which was broken and I couldn't see any fire escape instructions. I could hear people walking past through the night banging doors. Very unhelpful staff , food cold and dry and not very helpful with allergies.

"Good central place to stay"

Good willing staff and very helpful. Negotiating around the place - too many stairs and trying to get down to the meeting rooms with the disabled ramps not working causes problems to me with equipment and also to the hotel staff.

"Short break"

Excellent location in the centre of Bournemouth. Parking available in adjacent carpark. We have stayed at this Premier Inn previously. Our room, on this occassion was on the 7th floor - it was very clean and we had an excellent night's sleep. Would recommend this hotel - location is excellent for exploring the town and beaches.

Hotel description Stay in style amongst the art deco delights of Premier Inn Hotel Bournemouth Central. You'll be just a few short steps to the sea front, with a seven-mile stretch of award-winning beaches. You won't be stretched for things to do; with business and leisure facilities all around you. Dig the sounds at a show at the Bournemouth Pavilion. Or dig for fossils along the Jurassic Coast. Go cycling through the New Forest, or go green in the Botanic Gardens. There are pubs, clubs, bars and restaurants aplenty, but if you've not had your fill, mouth-watering food awaits you back at the hotel, not to mention deliciously comfy beds.
