"Great reception staff"

Standard stuff with Premier Inn and this place didn’t disappoint. Lovely, friendly girl on reception. Clean spacious and comfortable room on the 3rd floor. Lots of parking, close to a TGI and s range of shops and takeaways. All in all another good experience at a Premier Inn

"Very Convenient for Me"

Ideal location for our fairly frequent visits to see family in Watford, close to M1 exit from the North. Comfortable room and seriously comfortable bed. Decent facilities and big car park. Breakfast on one morning was OK rather than really good - but I'm a bit fussy when it comes to a cooked breakfast. Definitely will stay here again.

"Disappointing experience, not our usual premier inn experience"

I had booked 3 rooms for myself and family to stay from 12-14 Oct 2018. The trip was to accommodate our travel from Northern Ireland to take my niece and nephew to the nearby Harry Potter studios. Having booked many times with premier inn before, it is normally our go to choice, we weren't worried about our trip. However, on this visit myself and my family were left extremely disappointed with our experience. - We arrived at approximately 19:00hours to a lukewarm welcome from the female at the front desk, she issued us with a room key (with room number stuck across it, not very secure to start with) and a card for the lights. We wanted to eat at the restaurant only to discover it was closed, unfortunately the female at reception couldn't give a reason her reply was' its normally open, im not sure why its closed'. This resulted in us having to take an 8 and 10 year old out to find somewhere to eat and with a group of 8 it wasn't easy. Eventually TGI Fridays next door were able to accommodate us. When we returned to the hotel later in the evening we realised my dad had the room key for his room and was still out (the bar was also closed in the hotel so himself, my husband and my brother had walked to the nearby Harvester for a drink), when I enquired at the front desk about getting another one I was told we can only have 1 key as the machine is broken (not explained on check in), as we walked to the room for her to let us in she further stated 'there is no point on me getting angry with things as theres nothing I can do, I just happen to be the one working'. I will clarify at no point did anyone have a go at her, rather stated it was rather unfortunate that within 3hrs of our arrival we had an unopen restaurant without explanation and only 1 key between 2 for each room. - Breakfast time slots had to be booked as its quite a small area, and time is limited to 40mins, as per the sign. I suspect maybe during holidays this may be necessary but to be honest it wasn't really needed over the weekend. Thankfully the time limit wasn't enforced as I had to wait 15mins or so for sausages etc to be replenished. Plenty of cereal choice but fruit choice poor and I pity anyone having continental option as they are very limited. Small breads consisted mainly of croissants, crumpets, pancakes and mini pain au chocolat. No choices such as cheese/cold meat etc. - Rooms were quite warm, despite there being air conditioning units the temp didn't go below 19C so it was a rather uncomfortable few nights. We were going to mention this on check out, but unfortunately nobody was at the desk, the chef who was walking about was about told us just to put the keys in the box or on the desk. -Although there is ample parking at the premier inn Watford North be careful if walking offsite in the dark. Lighting is extremely poor and road surface is uneven, there are a few ramps as well. Luckily I had my phone with me and was able to turn a torch on, although still managed a stumble on the first ramp I encountered. A few lights would make it a much safer, more secure area. There isn't much in the general area, some shops and restaurants although I suspect the majority of people are using this hotel for going to Harry Potter studios. It is extremely convenient for this, about 10mins away. As a frequent premier inn customer both personally and for work I was disappointed in this experience and hope that they can improve their service rather than just rely on bookings due to its proximity to Harry Potter studios. I will definitely return to Harry Potter but may have to reconsider where to stay.

"Greatest hotel staff I’ve ever come across"

From start to finish the staff at this premier inn were more what you come to expect from a 5 star hotel. Super polite and nothing was to much trouble. Really blown away by the service. First rate. Rooms were immaculate and the breakfast was very fresh and super tasty. First class customer service

"Perfectly fine"

What you'd expect from a Premier Inn. Friendly staff, clean and decently appointed room. Good breakfast. The WiFi was so slow I had to buy Premium (sending large files for work), and the restaurant was only a mini one, so the choice wasn't great, but people couldn't have been nicer.

Hotel description Get to great local sights quicker than you can say 'abracadabra' with Premier Inn Hotel Watford North. In a great spot just outside Watford's vibrant town centre, you'll be well placed for attractions like Warner Brothers Studios, as well as business and leisure destinations in central London. Plan a magical family adventure to Warner Brothers Studios for the Harry Potter tour. Hunt for the latest looks at Intu Watford shopping centre. Or discover the historic heart of nearby St Albans. Then unwind with a tasty meal in our restaurant, and relax in your spacious room and huge, comfy bed.
