"Great location for walking into city centre "

This place is located in a great place to walk to the city centre and also for convenience with a Morrisons near by. Very good soundproofing with no noise from the road and the room was in good condition and very clean. Received great service on reception too

"Worked out OK in the end!"

I found the information on the web site confusing and couldn't work out whether the restaurant was open or not in the evening. So I rang up in advance and was told it wasn't but they were happy to provide takeaway to eat in the room. When we arrived we decided to walk into Wells which was not far and then we checked the various restaurants. Unfortunately being a Sunday night they weren't all open and those that were basically were fully booked. So we went back to the premier Inn and asked the girl on the desk for takeaway. She looked most disconcerted and immediately said that she was on her own and wasn't planning to do food. I told her I had been assured that it would be available when I phoned and I did push it a bit as we didn't have another alternative. She was initially reluctant but then agreed and I told her I was happy to have it at her convenience. After that, she was cheerful when I went to collect it, even gave me a glass to have with my wine and the food was very good. I thought it was very poor that she was on her own. We asked for a couple of pillows which she brought to the room but not the large towels we had asked for, but by then I was feeling so sorry for her, I didn't push it. The facilities were fine as always and the breakfast arrangements were fine, although there wasn't anything like the usual choice for the continental breakfast (no pancakes) and I would have ordered the full English had I known. Paying for parking was a bit of a pain and I can't understand why you can't do it at the inn if it isn't free. I've given this place 4 stars because I didn't want to mark it as average but it was in between really.

"First Covid Stay in A Premier Inn"

Recently stayed in the new Premier Inn in Wells and it was a pleasant experience. Despite what is going on around us the hotel is doing the best that it can to remain within the guidelines. Unfortunately, this does mean that the restaurant is closed for evening meals at the moment, and breakfasts have to be pre booked. In terms of Wells itself it is a lovely piece of old England, and the town centre is easily reached on foot from the hotel. Just cross the road to the Morrisons facing the hotel, and go up the right hand side of the entrance to pathway. Follow this round and you are in the centre of town. Plenty of other places to visit from the hotel as a base. Glastonbury, Street (and the Clark's shopping centre), Weston Super Mare, Frome etc.

"Very comfortable stay in very wet Wells !"

We were delighted with our stay recently. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. In particular, we wanted to single out Sarah for particular praise. She was very kind in allowing us to check in a little earlier than expected. The hotel is in a good location, and the room was perfectly comfortable and well equipped. For the price, it cannot be beaten. Thank you.

"Birthday Treat"

Arrived and checked in without issue. Parking is via a phone app which took a bit of time but reasonable for £4 a day. Restaurant open for breakfast-- you have to book however closed for dinner but "limited menu" available to order and eat in room... as we stay in a lot of Premier Inn's and I'm vegetarian and can't eat spicy, sadly over the past several PI visits "at least four" I'm left with a choice of Magurita pizza or eat out which is what we did. Rooms clean and although they say they will not service your room during your stay if you need extra coffee etc to ask at Reception, lucky we bring our own coffee as you only get an initial two sachets. Room overlooked the car park but was really quiet. Did point out that a staff key had been left in the lift which gave access to staff areas which we were told would be removed and thanked for noticing... two days later on checking out still there. Gererally a good visit, hardly saw anybody but Wells was a lovely place to visit.

Hotel description Wells might be England's smallest city, but it's packed with history and stunning architecture - the perfect location for a culture-filled short break. While you're here, take a stroll through the tranquil gardens at the ancient Bishop's Palace, sample some delicious local Somerset cider or explore the mysterious Wookey Hole caves. After you've worked up an appetite exploring beautiful Somerset, it's time to treat yourself to dinner at Thyme restaurant and then drift off into a great night's sleep in your luxurious Hypnos bed.
