"Lovely stay"

We dropped 1 car off and checked with reception that it would be ok. Was told no problems. Went off for the day came back a little merry to be met by a lovely receptionist who was very patient with us and even came and helped me get everyone in their rooms. Lovely clean rooms, comfortable beds and great shower. Good night's sleep and went for breakfast next door to Bailey Bridge very good on covid breakfast was great choice of full English and continental all very fresh and nice. Waitress was happy and friendly. Amazing price for what you get. Could not fault this hotel or location. We will be back.

"OK but room for improvement"

My girlfriend and I stayed here for a week whilst on holiday. Here is the short outlook - The hotel is OK, and a standard Premier inn. However it's not the nicest or best maintained one I've been. My top tip if you want to stay here is to make sure you stay on the front side of the hotel as there is a railway line bordering the car park at the back and you will hear the trains otherwise. Detailed review - The premier inn itself is well situated in Christchurch giving you good access to the sorrounding areas I.E Christchurch Town centre, New Forest, Bournemouth, Poole, ect. You can stroll into Christchurch from the hotel which takes around 15 minutes at a leisurely pace. There is also a railway station close by which gives you great to access rail services to various locations nearby or further afield, a plus for travellers on foot too i would imagine. For those with a car like we had there is ample parking around the hotel and we managed to get parked fine each night. Close by there is also a small retail park with various convenience shops such as home bargains ect and for food there is a subway (which do breakfast sandwiches) and Costa although I wouldn't recommend Costa unless you fancy growing frown lines faster than it takes the staff to organise themselves and make your coffee and bacon sandwich in the morning... I will review that treat separately. Back to the hotel... The hotel is OK, its not a nightmare or hellish and rest assured you can stay here and its just OK, it will do the job. Why is it just OK? A few niggles we had were as follows: shower pressure constantly up and down (The pressure is actually generally good however the pressure is constantly interrupted for some reason and it eventually ends up dipping so far that due to the set up of the taps means the shower will turn off and water will begin coming out the bath tap), the bedding (this was not very good at all and over a period days stay becomes a real annoyance. The bed sheets are too small and easily end up pulled out and unfurled every night. The pillows are like pancakes with filling that moves around the pillowcase and point blank need replacing), the general condition of the bed (some fabric tears on the base which most won't notice and a very squeeky mattress. Please note however that the beds are hypnos so they are generally OK and comfy even when they have had some good general use like these... Just keep in mind everyone's idea of comfy will vary... we have a very good mattress at home so some others might find these mattresses to be the best thing ever), the trains (This is a problem depending on how easily you sleep and where you stay in the hotel. There is a line just off to the rear of the hotel carpark which generates some noise especially if you have your window open throughout the night. My advice would be to stay on the front side of the hotel and make this request clear at point of booking if you can). Other tips; rooms start at 01 on each floor... The closer to 01 on each floor you are the closer to the stairs and lift you are... Try and get a room a few doors down if you can or we had room 212 which almost at the other end which was located well. Value wise, this hotel comes up trumps. It's great value for a reasonably decent standard of hotel to act as a good base for exploring the sorrounding area. Would I return? Personally I would go to the newer premier inn up the road called highcliffe. It also a much nicer joined on pub/restaurant (The Globe) offering great value and nice food and the service was really good too. Highcliffe also offers you good access to the Avon beach area however access to the centre of Christchurch is not as good however if you have a vehicle this isn't really an issue as you're talking minutes to drive to the centre. I would definitely recommend checking it out as an alternative based on suitability to your needs.

"Accommodation good"

Accommodation and parking were fab! Food was good from the bar, and the staff were great Very clean and the breakfast was amazing, The only problem could be the stairs to the servery for those who are not so mobile.

"Nice stay - no problems"

Obviously Covid-19 changed the way the hotel operated but we didn't encounter any problems. The hotel is located near the railway station, so there was some noise from trains but nothing that bothered us. All in all a good experience.

"A lovely stay"

We stayed here for seven nights. The rooms are not well equipped for storage of clothes for a week but we knew this when we booked. We took a dress rail and set this up to give us extra hanging space. The room was clean, the fluffy large bath towels were a bonus and the bed linen was clean and fresh. We took our own continental style breakfast and eat in the room. We asked for the room to be cleaned on our way out and on our return this had been done and the towels replaced. I asked for a rubber mat for the bath/shower which was provided. The hotel is in a great location for beach and local restaurants. There was always a free space to park our car each day. We would definitely book again providing the price is right.

Hotel description Discover a gem of a spot, close to the wonderful Dorset World Heritage Coast, at the Premier Inn Hotel Christchurch West. A great find whether you're on the hunt for business deals or just a few days away. With a wealth of waterside treasures within minutes, you could be messing about on the river, harbour or sea. Or if you prefer the greens and great outdoors, polish your swing at Ferndown or Parley or head for the peace and quiet of the New Forest. Then, when it's time to turn in, set a course for our great restaurant and extra-comfy beds.
