"Feels Like Home!"

We tend to visit Blackpool & surrounding areas two or three times a year as we are from Aberdeen, so love to take a weekends break to head south. Our number one choice is this hotel and has been for the last 6/7 years! We couldn’t ask for any better from the same staff members, the food and of course those Premier Inn Hypos beds, its certainly a favourite when heading away. The check in process is always quick & easy when you use self service check in or reception. 5 floors of bedrooms with the half modernised Premier Inn layout (big TVs, aircon, triple glazing), breakfast & dinner are great with plenty to choose from and a buffet selection at weekends. We really couldn’t ask for any better at Preston Central, its only a stone throws walk from the train station & bus station perfect for commuting around Lancashire, I would just like to say a big thank you to all the staff such as Harry, Ismail & Amy (Security Guard too!) who are the night team, who go above and beyond every night to keep the hotel safe & keep everyone stress free, they also make us feel at home and keep us coming back. There’s then Danielle (manager) & Stephen (chef) who certainly make the hotel tick, keeping it clean & tidy and making the breakfasts lovely! Big shoutout to these people and of course the rest of Premier Inn Preston Central. Its a hotel we will keep coming back to for years to come, its great to catch up with our second family! Go Team :)

"Could have been better"

We have stayed here a few times over the past few years and are well aware of the parking and the fact that it is a city centre hotel. That aside, as we entered the hotel we were met by what can only be described as a beggar asking for money. We reported this to the check-in staff, and it didn't appear that it was the first time it had happened. The stay was ok, with decent rooms for the price. We asked if we needed to book breakfast, and we were assured that we didn't. Next morning, breakfast was a disaster, waiting for the hot buffet, still waiting for poached eggs that I ordered. Seems that no-one needed to book, which then left the kitchen not knowing how many to cater for. Not the smartest of moves in my view. If the weather had been better we would have walked along the high street and had breakfast elsewhere.

"Good location, super staff"

I stay in this hotel regularly. The location is as the name suggests central, so it is close to shops, bars and restaurants. It is a typical Premier Inn layout, but what makes this place special are the staff. They are all very helpful and cheery. Sue particularly stands out for me; she is always bright and cheery in the mornings. Keep up the good work!

"Great base!"

Visit Preston 3 or 4 times each year, I always stay here because of the consistent friendliness and warmth of the Staff and the standard values and efficiency of Premier Inns everywhere. Will certainly return- has become part of our northern routine- THANKS !

"Car park and a penalty for poorly signed roads. "

The hotel itself can’t be faulted!!! We parked up after finding the dodgy carpark... and decided straight away we would rather leave the car at our family members house over night. So in the evening we set off from the car park, turning right which clearly said no entry... to the left was a dead end so we turned around... go to the opposite end of the road you can’t go left as it’s also a dead end.. so turned right (the only way we could see possible) onto fishergate... fast forward a week and a penalty notice has arrived for driving in a bus lane... almost seems like a trap!!! Good breakfast though.

Hotel description As the name suggests, Premier Inn Hotel Preston Central is right at the heart of things. We're the ideal base for trips to attractions across Lancashire and to the Lake District. There are plenty of cutting-edge business venues within easy reach too. Make a great day of it seeing a matinee show at the Guild Hall in Preston, or enjoy the nearby nightlife. With Blackpool illuminations just a short journey away, not to mention the enchanting manor house Hoghton Tower, there's plenty to keep you busy. At the end of a great day out, come back to a tasty meal and a lovely comfy bed.
