"Comfortable hotel"
Very comfortable hotel. Ate in restaurant, staff very friendly, particularly Billy & chef, Michael who prepared some tasty meals. Would suggest more choice of potato (only choice was chips). Experienced problems with TV, remote didn't work & found it difficult to switch off at TV!
"Relaxing stay"
Very relaxed atmosphere, lovely and quiet had three lovely nights sleep. We paid for the meal deal which was breakfast and dinner. Great value for money the food in the restaurant is excellent. Rooms are very clean and well maintained. Staff are professional, helpful and friendly. Location is ideal for exploring the various museums in the area. You will have to pay £4 per night for secure underground parking, which is very reasonable compared to other hotels I’ve stayed at. Highly recommended for a stay in Dorchester.
"Excellent Stay"
Ideal location, parking in the underground Car Park was easy. Rooms lovely and clean and comfortable. The Inn was quiet, well organised, light and clean in all areas. The restaurant was very comfortable, clean and well managed. As a vegan I had a good choice of food, the Chef was very accommodating and cooked vegan sausage for breakfast. Excellent Value. Our only concern the staff in the restaurant appeared to have a very heavy workload. They never complained and made every Customer feel valued and bent over backwards to accommodate all diets. Thank you for a great stay.
"Central location"
The room was comfortable, clean, easy to find and well located for a short stay. All went as expected and the semi flexible option gave enough flexibility required.
"Great place to stay over for touring cyclist"
Premier Inn is still a reliable pace to stay for a cyclist. Great rooms, bed and bathroom. Excellent early breakfast. Evening meals are not very good - slow service (only one chef on duty) and luke warm - this makes the meal deal not as good value as it seems.
