"Hit and Miss"

Our stay here was mixed. Firstly, the bad ponts: Wet-room floor not very clean (mould around edges), 'king-sized' bed was actually 2 single beds pushed together (very uncomforable with a gap down the centre) and the pillos were so flat, it was hard to get comfortable. HOWEVER: In spite of this, I think we will return, because of the good points: Great location; close to a good cinema and eateries within walking distance. Easy parking for disabled right outside - and free. Friendly staff, nice ambience - and best of all: a brilliant breakfast! Next time I will be a little more upfront about our needs and engage with staff, who are really good actually and probably take our own pillows lol! Well worth a visit.

"Great Staff/very wheelchair friendly"

Vinny was highly professional from the word go, on the telephone, and once we got there. Sorted out the best room for us, and showed us 3 different types to suit my partner and I. Hotel is in a great location too. Thank you!

"Good, some rough edges due to refurbishment work"

We stayed here for two nights in November, having travelled by train. The location is great - just over the road from the station, close to the town centre. There's a little paper shop round the corner, you have everything you need close by. Our room was halfway through a refurb; some power points were blanked off with plastic discs, and the light on the desk couldn't be used, the sparks had fitted a wall fitting by the lamp, which had a 13A plug on it, and the cable was too short to reach any other plug. However, usual high PI standards generally prevailed; the room was clean (apart from a couple of cobwebs above the window), and the hot water plentiful. The tiles in the bathroom were the usual PI 'dimpled' type, to which suction grab rails can be fitted - there are only low grab rails on the bath itself, and the towel rack, to hang on to when getting in or out of the bath / shower. The bed was comfortable, although the pillows seemed a little more bashed than I usually find in a PI. We paid £132 for two nights room only; I've paid more recently staying in independent B&B's and found them downright dreadful, it was great to be back staying somewhere where people know what they're doing. We didn't eat at the onsite restaurant, but would recommend the Hendover Cafe for breakfast, and there are plenty of places around to choose for supper, we ate once at Vivo Lounge but I'm not sure I'd go again. I'm sure that some of the rough edges will be smoothed out when the refurb work is complete; we'll happily stay at this PI again.

"Excellent service and valaue for money"

An excellent option for my 10 colleagues and myself, we booked the rooms 3 months previously to get a good rate and I must admit I was quite stunned by the quality of service and facilities. The Staff, room and breakfast were all excellent... great location too..

"Superb location"

Great central position. Food quality very good but could maybe do with a few more main course items on menu, plus a cheese option for those not wanting sugar laden desserts, I'm sure there's plenty of Dorset cheeses available. Staff friendly and very helpful. Parking worth the £4.00 for the convenience, if you can get in, first come first served.Several bars,cafes and restaurants on doorstep if you want to eat out. We would return.

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.
