"Avoid in summer months"

Firstly I cannot fault any of the staff at this hotel. There is no Air Con in the room and I would never have booked to stay here had we known. We booked to stay here as we were attending a wedding on the Sunday. Trying to get ready in the room was horrendous, had a shower and felt like you needed another one, was doing a bit at a time to get ready, then sat back on the bed in front of the fan. One eye mascara applied, sat back on the bed and so on. Husband was trying to dress and fasten his tie and the sweat was showing through his shirt, on the arms. Went down to reception early to cool down before our Uber arrived for the wedding. Husband thought he was going to be sick in the Taxi. Premier Inn promises a good nights sleep, but two nights in this room certainly did not deliver. I can’t fault the staff or the cleanliness and the restaurant, it’s really let down by the lack of cool air. Sorry won’t rebook.

"if i want a sauna.... i will book one. very disappointing"

i have just left my room. Having arrived last night, outdoor temperature was 20 degree... the room was 30. this morning the temperature was 30 degrees. Outdoor temperature is 16 degrees. no sleep. this is not a one-off this hotel has no ability to control room heat, and the staff are now bored by the complaints and show an apparent lack of concern. my room had previously been used by a family and there were toys left under bed and sofa (though visible - I was not hunting for problems) perhaps the staff are struggling with heat exhaustion and are tired - I know I am, but sadly I had to pay for the privilege. As Watford has the HP franchise, I do not think the Watford hotels have to try too hard - and it shows

"Not impressed."

A young receptionist, pleasant but ill informed greeted us. The rooms are fine but are very noisy. The advertising campaign of a quiet night does not ring true. Breakfast .. staff very pleasant staff but on the two occasions hot breakfast was sparse with lots missing. Rooms not cleaned, no replacement towels .. when we told reception staff we were told cleaning staff had gone home now ... so told the cleaners next morning, everyone blaming the other... the gentleman cleaner told us men didn’t clean the rooms. Not impressed. Good location for Harry Potter otherwise I would opt for other accommodation.

"generally fine but do not book in the summer!"

Window barely opened and there was no aircon. They had also run out of fans. 29c at night in my room. The two times I had breakfast something went wrong and the items I received were not as ordered. Other than these issues my stay was good overall.

"Ideal location for Harry Potter Studios"

We picked this hotel as it was close to the town centre, overground station and Harry Potter Studio's. Having read reviews on here before we arrived we were fully aware there was no air con in the rooms. Upon arrival we were told that a fan had been put in the room and there was a sheet for the bed if we didn't want to use the quilt so we were happy with this as the weather was easily in the mid 20's. When we entered the room the curtains had been left closed and the window was open so the temperature wasn't that bad. Overall the room was at Premier Inn's usual high standard,there were extra pillows if needed, tea and coffee in the room. We only had breakfast on our last day and we opted for the cooked breakfast which was cooked to order so all food received was lovely and fresh.
