Dundee Centre hotel

My partner and I recently booked a two-night stay at the Premier Inn Dundee Centre for over £300 and unfortunately, it was a complete disaster. We ended up being moved three times, and each room had its own major issues. First room was directly next to the main door so we could constantly hear it opening and slamming shut. It was unbearable, so we asked to move. Room two had a strong smell of bleach which was so overwhelming it literally made our eyes burn and water. Ironically, despite the harsh chemical smell, the room still wasn't clean. We asked to move again. The next room was our final room, and the cleanliness was shockingly poor. Reception advised they were fully booked so there wasn’t much they could do. We were desperate to leave and find another hotel, but everything locally was fully booked. We felt trapped in an unsanitary room. There was multiple pubes and hair in the shower that were definitely not ours. The floors were dirty, with the previous tenants litter and there was dirty smeared mirrors. There was wipeable brown stains left on the bathroom door frame directly in front of the toilet. There was pillows left out of their packaging without pillowcases, rendering them unusable and not actually sure they were clean. Going back and forth with reception was incredibly exhausting and uncomfortable for us. After giving them three chances to get it right, and being told by the receptionist that the hotel was at capacity anyway, we couldn't face going back to the desk a fourth time. To make matters worse, I reached out to the Premier Inn live chat for help. The agent gave me an email address to send my complaint to, only for me to receive an auto-reply stating the email was out of date! I was told to raise a complaint through the website which I did, that was on 12/08 and I have had no response. I’ve now reached out again on the 01/09 and still no response. I have used Premier Inn for years, but the brand has completely gone downhill recently. It is now expensive, run-down, and dirty. I would absolutely not recommend staying with them, especially not this branch.

We have stayed here before and really enjoyed it but we were really disappointed this visit. We checked in and were met with a really helpful guy but that was the last we saw any staff around the hotel. The rooms are looking tired and in need of attention. We found hairs in the bed and the shower curtain had a lot of black staining on it. We ate at the restaurant and we're really unimpressed with it both at breakfast and dinner. The staff were rude and unhelpful. We stood for at least 5 minutes waiting to be seated and we're totally ignored by waiting staff until we asked if we could take a seat. The breakfast itself was good but wasted with poor service. We also went for dinner and some options on the menu were not available as it's closing down. We ordered a medium/rare steak and it came barely cooked and was very bloody. We asked for Diane sauce and instead got peppercorn sauce. We sent it back and were only offered to put the steak back on the grill. No offer of another meal. We did get it taken off the bill but it wasted our enjoyment of a nice night The bar was also pretty poor in that a lot of the pumps were empty due to it closing down. I know it's Beefeater that's closing but Premier Inn were still charging full price for meal deals with only limited stock. It feels like the heart and soul has been ripped out the hotel and we won't be back, which is a shame as it's a great location and has always been really good on previous visits.

Location beautiful, lovely view from restaurant. Staff great Nice walks

We have now stayed at Premier Inn Dundee City Centre twice (most recently 23 August 2026) and had a great experience both times. Brilliant location, comfortable rooms and ample breakfast. Good value for money. We did find Dundee city centre quite unsettling at night with individuals drunk or on drugs with a bit of noise and shouting going on. Would not put me off visiting Dundee again but would be mindful of this.

Although very comfy room, I asked for a room clean at reception, there are posters telling you this. I got back to the room. The bed was as I had left it, made but not amazing.. The only thing I could see that had changed was towels. Toilet not cleaned, basin not cleaned, obviously hadn't been vacuumed, tea and coffee replenished. Im a little underwhelmed with this
