"Wonderful accommodating staff!"

Booked for my Mum's 70th Birthday weekend away. The staff went above and beyond to make it a memorable stay, decorated her room with balloons and banners. Put out the flowers and cake I had posted to them, and gave her a card, chocs and bottle of wine themselves! So helpful, and can't thank them enough, they made her feel very special. Thank you!

"Super central."

Very easy to find with plenty of parking available in the South Dorchester rail carpark at £2 per day. Very secure site with lifts that only operate for guests with key cards. Our room was great with a really deep bath and the breakfast was lavish at £8.99. I don't really have any complaints at all only we only got to stay one night because it was so full. After that we moved on to Premier Inn Seaton, (which had rooms) and which was dreadful.

"One oversight....."

Premier Inn is always dependably good - clean, comfortable and staffed by friendly people who are keen to help. This hotel was no exception but the leatherette covered headboard of the bed was utterly filthy and I’m surprised it clearly wasn’t included in the housekeeping remit. Since the pandemic, we clean all surfaces in hotel rooms we stay in - everything was spotless except the headboard! Given the purpose of it, that’s not very nice. Please do give this matter attention Premier Inn!

"Bit of a disappointment"

Have stayed here before and always had a good time. We stayed two nights and had dinner on the first night. Food barely ok, not great. Breakfast next morning was poor. My bacon looked undercooked, my wife’s was cold. Fruit (berries etc) was very small portion. Tea too strong to drink. Girls who staff the restaurant work incredibly hard and have a great manner, but are let down by chef / company. Second night poor sleep, air con failed and it was a warm night. In the morning they said there was a fault which affected lots of rooms … that’s ok then - is it ? I don’t think so, Prem Inn isn’t cheap so it should be better than this.

"Another Great stay at Premier Inn Dorchester"

The hotel is centrally located in Dorset's lovely county town. The rooms are clean, quiet and bright with all amenities we require. Staff are welcoming and keen to help. We felt safe and secure throughout our stay. Breakfast was very good with plenty of choice. Our only disappointment was that secure car parking was unavailable for our stay, although there are a number of parking options within easy walking distance. We will happily stay at this Premier Inn again.

Hotel description Far from the madding crowd, but near to all the delights of Dorset, the Premier Inn Hotel Dorchester puts you in the heart of Thomas Hardy country. In the historic town's new Brewery Square development, you'll have business, leisure and heritage right on your doorstep. You could set sail at Olympic watersports venue Weymouth and Portland. Or hang out with the kings of the swingers at Monkey World. And if it's the right time of year, fire up your engine at the Great Dorset Steam Fair. Then retreat to our stylish restaurant, spacious rooms and extra comfy beds. *Please note that there are limited car parking spaces at the hotel, however there is also nearby public car parking.
