Kidderminster hotel

Other reviewers have commented on the "upside down" design, with reception on the top floor of this repurposed textile mill and its "tortoise lift". The room was comfortable, clean and quiet. I had the meal deal, and all dinners were good - fish and chips, rigatoni and katsu curry on the three nights I was there. Breakfast was quite good, but the hotel was a bit overshelmed when I stayed, with an unusual number of guests. It was the first weekend of half-term and perhaps parents were attracted by special deals for kids. Anyway, breakfast items were being consumed at pace, and I was told they actually ran out of food one morning. The hotel is in the town centre. Guests who have travelled by car have commented on the parking arrangements with the adjacent public car-park. I arrived by train and the main purpose of my visit was to have a weekend riding on the Severn Valley Railway. This is the main tourist attraction of the town. The good news is that the bus station is about ninety seconds' walk from the hotel. The bad news for weekend visitors is that the bus service is virtually non-existent on Sunday. On arrival, I walked from the mainline station (adjacent to the steam railway station). It was doable, even for a less than agile septuagenarian, but the town's town planning seems to have stuck in the 1960s, with no level pedestrian crossings over the ring road, and people walking from the station consequently required to dive into underpasses. Saturday was fine, as was my return to the station on Monday, when I was able to use a reasonable bus service from hotel to railway stations. Sunday was Uber day! In particular, on the first day of winter time, I didn't fancy returning to the hotel through the underpasses. So, the hotel is great from the point of view of accommodation and accessibility, allowing for the exceedingly slow lift. The food offer is good at dinner, with the meal deal (breakfast, dinner of two courses and a drink) being good value. Breakfast is pretty good, but there may be some prssure at busy times. Whether it's the right hotel for you may depend on what you intend to do. Weekend railway-oriented visitors do need to be aware that it's on the other side of town and there are no viable buses on Sunday.

Booked into this Inn for one night on our way to our holiday. WOW !!! The room was pristine, service was second to none and the restaurant was something else. All glassware and cutlery were so highly cleaned, no watermarks on either. Service was impeccable and the food was everything I hoped it would be. I would give this place my highest recommendation, first class.

What a lovely, interesting place to stay! I would definitely stay again. Rooms much bigger than your standard Premier rooms - my room had 2 massive windows with a lovely view of the canal and surroundings. There are multiple well-named shops all on your doorstep. Restaurant well adorned with pictures of the past history of the Mill and its other nearby structures. Food very ample and tasty with reasonable prices. Staff really nice and friendly. Only downfall, have to pay for parking £1.40 for 1 hour and £6 for overnight stay 4 pm - 10 am not too bad. 10/10.

Having been in many hotels over the the recent past, I did not go with high expectations of Premier Inn not having stayed at one before, but I have to say I was very impressed. The room was comfortable, the bed excellent, and the bathroom was in my view one of the best I've been in for a long time because I have a slight upper body disability and the large shower was a real boon for me, matching what I have at home. Too many budget hotels have showers that are awkward for me to use, not this one. The serve yourself breakfast was hot and fresh. There was plenty of choice of food and drinks. I only had breakfast but the evening meals looked good on the menu. Cannot fault the staff. I was attending for a specific event at the Severn Valley Railway, and will certainly use the Premier Inn again in the future. I attended using the train, those in cars will need to take account of the parking costs.

Lovely big family room, plenty of space, and right next to pizza hut and mcdonalds, very central for shopping. The only gripe i have is lack of drawers/shelves for clothes in the room. Amazing staff, very patient with our autistic twin boys who liked to ‘help out’ at breakfast time, big shout out to the staff Jade, Sara (both) Richard, Tia, Paula and Adrian. You guys were amazing and Jack and Joe couldn't stop talking about you and wanting to see you all again
