Herne Bay hotel

Went here October half term for 4 nights with my son. Firstly the hotel itself; Premier Inn standard which means you get what you paid for. Room was OK and clean, had a bath not just a shower, Wifi worked OK even the free wi-fi which hasn't always been the case in other hotels of this kind. The staff were very friendly always a "good morning" or "good afternoon". We didn't eat here so I can't comment on that but will say that the empty restaurant next door really needs to get opened again - I believe there were some issues with a McDonald's getting approval to open here. At present there is a canteen/cafe "The Social" and I'm sure they try their best but really this place needs an adjoining watering hole. Now, for the location. It's right off the main road so easily accessible. Great. However, slap bang in a building site surrounded by an industrial estate - not so great. It does seem odd to have this hotel here not in a location obvious for anyone wanting to visit Herne Bay - there are no local big employers, Sainsbury's superstore and garage a stone's throw away so no problem with provisions but an awful long walk to town / the beach - about 30 minutes. There is a bus stop just round the corner opposite Miller and Carter's which you're welcome to visit if feeling extravagant otherwise food choices are extremely limited on foot - good chip shop on the junction at the top of the hill about 15 minutes walk but other than that town is your best bet. So - hotel, OK except for the dining. Location, not so OK. When, surely not if, the adjacent restaurant opens again it will be an improvement

Staff were brilliant. Breakfast was excellent. One of the best breakfasts I've ever had. The room was great and the bed was very comfortable. We had dinner in the restaurant one night and the food was lovely. Recommend Herne Bay Premier for a stay.

We were greeted by friendly staff and nothing was too much trouble. They multi tasked very efficiently covering reception, answering queries and serving in the restaurant. We were very impressed with the food and particularly the lovely breakfast choices. The hotel was very clean and well maintained. A great shower and lots of hot water. The one minor issue with the air con was soon resolved. A great overnight experience.

Would recommend the Premier Inn at Herne Bay. The staff were all friendly, polite & helpful. The bed was really comfortable. The choice of food for breakfast was excellent.

The room was nice, clean and comfortable. There were extra pillows if you needed them, the room was spacious, and really nice hand and body wash.
