    "Not a pleasant experience at all"
    Not the happiest time at a hotel. The restaurant was under reconstruction so a complimentary ‘continental breakfast’ was offered. This turned out to be a packaged croissant or pain au chocolat with nothing to put it on or to put on it - no butter, jam or any such and not even a paper plate or plastic knife to use. The coffee machine dispensed excellent coffee, which was the one saving grace. The bed was good, as we expect from Premier Inn, but simple things, like replacing the soap dispenser when the top had gone completely rusty, let down the bathroom. Most annoyingly when we returned at 21.30 after an evening meal that we had to drive to, (there being no restaurants in walking distance from the hotel), we found that the disabled parking bays had a number of tradesmen’s vehicles parked in them, so there was nowhere for us to park. The rest of the car park was full so we had to park around the back of the hotel on double yellow lines.
    "Positive review"
    Sadly restaurant was closed due to a refurbishment starting but staff was excellent and on top a 24 hrs free Coffee / tea bar was open for guests
    "Always our choice in Saffron Walden"
    Great location. Easy walk to Saffron Walden town centre and shops (e.g. Aldi)/coffee (Costa) on the doorstep. Free parking. Lift accessible. Good size rooms and always a comfortable night's sleep. Little one slept well in the cot too.
    "What an awful experience"
    The receptionist had a very off hand attitude, everything seemed an imposition. Ok I arrived early, but was happy to wait 45 mins to give them my order at 6:30 pm. People came and sat down I assumed they pre-booked. Orders were taken at 6 o/c. At no point was I given a menu or asked if I wanted to order. Waitress was not busy. After the allotted time I left and had a lovely meal at Wetherspoons. The receptionist would be better off in the housekeeping department away from customers.
    "Good bed, but far from the train station"
    Nice hotel, friendly staff, clean sheets, clean bathroom with a good shower. The hotel is very far from the station, almost an hour's walk. Around 20 minutes walk to the town centre. Very few buses and in weekends even less, so be prepared to walk or take a Uber.
