well me and Jess like spending a week at british seaside resorts over the summer time, when we decide where to go then we will see if weatherspoons has a hotel there. Thank you Tim👍

[@annehenser8408]

ive stayed in some wetherspoons hotels, good value for money, especially during summer school holidays

[@margaretmaskell9985]

I think fridges in rooms are convenient and welcome. Milk,wine & beer etc can be stored in them. They are also useful for people who need to refrigerate medication.

[@Classof92Kano]

Agreed! The need for a fresh cold water

[@TheNeilsolaris]

As long as they are quiet. I've unplugged a few in the past!

[@wheresjames2842]

When I was in Glasgow mine had a complimentary bottle of water inside. Maybe they ran out?

[@paultasker7788]

So long as they are the silent thermoelectric ones and not ones with a compressor switching on and off which wakes you up!

[@paultasker7788]

@@TheNeilsolaris I'm the same. They do thermoelectric ones which don't use a compressor which are silent. But some hotels have noisy compressor ones in which is very irritating if I forget ear plugs

The best thing about Premier Inn is how clean it is I’ve never been to an unclean premier inn before. I love the breakfast there as well.

[@Northstander]

Agree totally, the one featured here looked spotlessly clean, it isn't the cheapest hotel but I'm a firm believer of the saying "you get what you pay for". I've used them before, several times, have a booking already made for a city break early next year.

[@goldsilvertravel]

Yes, the range is very good.

[@ekaterinatikhomirova7552]

✨As someone who works at Premier Inn I wanted to give my professional opinion First, yes there should have been two bottles of water in that fridge… I don’t know why it wasn’t there and I’m so sorry for that On overall that room doesn’t reflect actual standard as this room is done wrong in so many ways, including the bed which is horrible and not up to brand standards Also the kettle in that room is wrong and there is another kettle used in that room that is bigger and better Plus, there are smaller pillows in that bag with extra pillows About chocolates - you can always go back to reception or catch a housekeeper and ask fo more chocolates and tees (even if you are not staying in plus room 😜) In general, you had every right to ask for your money back as I look at that room, the bed shocked me tbh. And as you come in the bedside lamps should have been turned on the pillows that should have been a lot more neat with light in the room turned off You were also given a wrong key card, there’s another one for plus rooms that is themed for those rooms And not all premier inns have the sign about illegal substances, it might be a thing in London, doesn’t say anything about the whole brand

[@katem86]

Agreed

[@peternelson6142]

How would you go about getting a refund on a room not up to scratch?

[@mehitabel6564]

@@peternelson6142 Premier Inn have a money back guarantee if you don't get a good night's sleep, and they are very good about refunds. I've had to claim twice due to wedding parties running noisily up and down the corridor in early hours of the morning. Usually I find the Premier Inn beds excellent and really comfortable. And the housekeeping is always very good.

Yes in my one I had a Nespresso machine, 2 waters and kettle with teabags as well as the chocolate.

[@lewistillett206]

[@nelliemelba4967]

I think Premier Inn is pretty good. I like the standardisation knowing that the room should be clean, functional and comfortable, which is all I usually need. But it's nice to have a few extras. Thanks for checking out the upgraded rooms, Tim!

[@WalkWithMeTim]

you are welcome thanks for watching Nellie

[@simpleman1224]

Yea so I used to work in hotels and ngl most of that room won’t get cleaned the bedding gets changed and that’s it ohh and the toilet paper also the cups and mugs in the room will be the same for everyone meaning everyone who has used those mugs haven’t been cleaned properly they are just washed in the sick with no chemicals and a quick rinse

[@gillianrimmer7733]

We use Premier Inn so 're time when visiting family around the country. We had to book a premier plus room just before Christmas because it was all that was available. It was nice, but TBH, I wouldn't book again if a standard room was available - we only want somewhere clean to sleep and have breakfast before leaving for the day - so, for me, the extra money isn't worth it.

[@Cubeforc3]

Premier Inn and the like are brilliant if you're disabled. You know the hotels will be accessible and the accessible rooms are usually spacious and easy to get around.

[@Lewis1995]

its the mcdonalds of hotels, always decent but never amazing but no matter which one you go to you are guaranteed it'll be pretty much the same

[@manupalace]

Had a premier plus room in Bournemouth (if you're ever staying try to get one of the sea view rooms, one of the best room views in Bournemouth) Main plus of the premier plus room was the fridge, there is complimentary water in it, and if you run out you just ask for more at reception. Basically unlimited. And was great to go to Tesco and get some cold drinks that I could then keep cold. WiFi was also useful

[@bmarsenal]

The "Bedside table" at 4:26 is actually a laptop desk that you can use with the comfy chair so you can work with your feet up!

[@WalkWithMeTim]

thanks for the tip

[@mehitabel6564]

Yep. I stay at Premier Inns roughly 2 nights per week for work, and that moveable bedside/laptop table is always extremely useful.

[@thepawtergeistakaemma4220]

as they have a fridge in the room, then a nice touch would have been fresh milk for your tea and coffee

[@MarleneSB]

That fridge would be marvellous, always bring a pint of two of real milk for real tea and end up having to keep it cool on the windowsill or in a sink of cold water for the morning. It'd probably be safe for overnight but I don't like taking tummy risks when I'm away from home. Thanks for the review Tim.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Great idea!

[@imogensmith2042]

The dalek from the ceiling was exactly what you were talking about; it dispenses the fragrance.

[@Catherine04647]

I used to work for room service at the premier inn, it was actually alright! I remember the ladies I worked with used to always use the coffee machines in the morning and they are actually pretty good ! (Plus who doesn’t love a bit of chocolate!)

[@WalkWithMeTim]

lol

[@brianl1397]

The fridge is really useful especially in the summer when you need chilled drinks. It is something we look for.

[@LiftFan]

I really do like a Premier Plus room, as I can pop down the shop and put my pepsi in the fridge to keep cool. After a night out a cold glass of water is so much nicer than the usual warm tap water too! They tend to put the Plus rooms on the higher up floors too for those of us who prefer a view, take away the £5/night for good wifi and it's definitely worth the money.

[@MargaretUK]

I'd been wondering if the Plus rooms were worth the extra, to be honest I don't think I would pay that extra, I think their standard rooms are pretty good anyway. Thanks for showing us Tim, shame we couldn't see the sea view in the day time though, I would have liked to have seen that.

[@OldUKAds]

I felt the same. Normal Premier Inn seems fine and I don't see the upgrade need. If I were staying for a few days the fridge would be good. This video is useful so I know for future.

[@ekaterinatikhomirova7552]

Haha I work at Premier Inn and I don’t think those rooms are worth that much more than flex rooms. Get a flex room, just as good!

[@mehitabel6564]

Staying at Premier Inns for work, I take advantage of the Premier Plus rooms when I can. In some of their hotels, the Premier Plus floor is also the quiet floor. As someone who has worked hard during the day, and absolutely knackered by the end of it, those little extras make a difference. Even the stool as somewhere to unpack your overnight bags. But then, my hotel expenses are paid for me. I always love the Nespresso machine.

[@christinehodge3608]

Clean and fresh room,😊

[@davidklyne5134]

Fridge and Aircon definitely a big improvement. Nice to have somewhere to keep bottle of water cool.Also if you are an insulin dependent diabetic good to have somewhere cool to store the insulin if you are staying more than a couple of days. Showers look good as well.

[@timmycricket1330]

These look really nice, they have taken out the bath and replaced it with a shower that's why the shower is roomy, also you need a fridge to keep items cool like milk or drinks so it's a great addition.

[@RichCowell1980]

I had two free bottles of water when I stayed in a Premier Plus room, and quite enjoyed it. I'll certainly stay in one again when I've got more time to kill at the hotel as they're more comfortable to work in and more relaxing generally... The fridge was a nice touch to chill a drink overnight and take out in the morning... Also if you take drinks up from the bar (as I do if I'm working in the room for a while) it's handy to keep them cool.

[@electroid8119]

I really like Premier Inn, I know what to expect and I know the shower will be piping hot and the bed acceptable. I travel around Europe for work and so many hotels are sub par to Premier Inn standards

[@Rubbafingaz1]

Very impressed with how clean everything is... it could be as it's all newly fitted as you pointed out but I would definitely pay an extra £20-30 to guarantee comfort and cleanliness. Great review as always Tim.

[@reddeviluk]

I wish Premier Inn would do a loyalty scheme. I spend months a year in them and always a pain when you can't even get good internet without paying.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

me too they did used to do something like that

[@Andy-eo3mq]

Premier Inn used to be my go-to chain, but they've changed to a "dynamic pricing" model, and they're now very poor value for money. September 2021, me and some friends stayed at a Premier Inn at Cardiff, and my room was £59 a night, including breakfast, which I think is pretty good value. In October 2022, we went back to the same hotel, as it was well located for us, and the price had shot up to £93 a night. The original plan had been to stay in another Premier Inn in the Cotswolds on our journey home, but their branch at Chipping Norton cost a truly shocking £160 for a standard room!! We ended up getting a far, far nicer Mercure hotel which cost just £7 more than what I'd paid for a night in Cardiff! Until such time as Premier Inn lower their prices, I will be in no hurry to return. It's a shame really.

[@hannahk1306]

I think this has always been the case - I needed to stay in Dover in August 2015 and it was about £80 per night (much more than when I'd stayed there a few months before). Hotels in general, like everything, have also shot up a lot in price recently. I think Premier Inn is still better value than say a Travelodge, but it's definitely worth shopping around for other options.

[@Gandomgold2024]

I am an Iranian girl, walk with me in the nature of Iran. It's amazing, subscribe

We stayed in a Premier Inn hotel about ten years ago and it was only £19 a night we paid online. It was a special offer I think even £29 was quite good. But I noticed that some branches are more expensive than other.

Brilliant as always, Tim. I love my Premier Inns as well, so I was considering the Plus one next year when I take my mini breaks. The shower was incredible 👌 And come on mate, the fridge in the room is perfect for keeping those beers cold 👍😁

[@hannahk1306]

I think these rooms could be good for business travellers. The only thing that I haven't seen in standard Premier Inn rooms that I'd probably use is the fridge. Fridges are really useful, especially in the summer - you can use it to chill drinks or store food safely, especially if you're trying to save money on meals out. I also have meditation that is better chilled and usually resort to making a DIY fridge when I stay in hotels. I actually think all rooms should have one in!

[@Blue.sk13s]

I agree but what I’m interested in is how do you make a DIY fridge?

[@hd2000]

Business travelers will have expenses like meals out paid, fridges are more appreciated by the everyday leisure traveler who would like to save money

[@hannahk1306]

@@Blue.sk13s I only need to keep eye drops cool, so I put them in a cup/glass/mug (whatever's provided in the room) and fill the container with cold water. Then I take a couple of squares of toilet roll, fold them and put on top of the container so that both ends are in the water and the middle is exposed. It's similar to how you keep milk cold when camping, except with a bucket and tea towel. I can't remember the exact science behind why it works, but it does!

[@hannahk1306]

@@hd2000 I've stayed in hotels for work, sometimes you don't feel like eating out or have leftovers to keep cool or want to get lunch for the next day (which usually isn't expensable). You also might want to keep drinks cold on a hot day. I agree that it's more useful for leisure travellers, but still useful for everyone.

I've stayed in a Premier Inn Tim!! Last December 2021. I had a little adventure! Just moved into my new house that was unbearably cold as I moved in December & the Extraction Fans were just like holes in the walls ( I've since made adjustments & house feels abit better) But last December after a few weeks shivering with cold I packed a bag & booked into my nearest premier Inn for the first time. I was that cold the staff gave me an extra Duvet! First room I went too the heating wouldn't work so I got moved to another room. It was a standard room but it had an extra big sofa where I sat wrapped up in the extra Duvet & it had a stunning view of a big Christmas Tree outside! And you were right Tim, the soap dispensers were like what you get in a public toilet. But the Bathroom was nice & it had a bath & shower over. There was place to hang clothes in my room & a table & chair. Plus good sized TV. I didn't get the Expresso Coffee Maker obviously being a standard room (tho I'm not a fan of Expresso!) And I had no complementary Chocolate! For the first 3 or 4 nights were fine then the air conditioning when really cold I thought the staff had turned it down on purpose cos I was always asking them to turn it up to 28°c. But downstairs the Cafe & Bar was also freezing! And everyone was complaining about being cold! After a night of cold air blowing into my room I checked out early! I was going to stay over Christmas but changed my mind I came back to my cold house instead. At least I didn't have to pay to stay at home! The positives about the Premier Inn was as you say Tim the bed was extremely comfortable & the room was clean. But if I ever had to stay in a Premier Inn again I'd go in summer when it's naturally warmer. I can't say I was impressed but that was only one experience in one Premier Inn. The premium room you were in did look luxurious & I hope the Air Conditioning was more advanced that what I experienced! Hope you had a really good stay Tim And I'd like to wish you a Happy Birthday 🎂🎉🎊aswell. I don't know what day your Birthday is on but I know it's in December so have a lovely time on your special 🎉 day🎊❣️

I have wondered what these are like when I’ve stayed in the newish PI at Great Yarmouth. There are some good points like the fridge, situated on the top floor and better toiletries. I spend so little time in the room I doubt for me it would be worth it. It’s a shame they didn’t do a super king bed but I suppose the room is a similar size to the normal rooms. Thanks for sharing and satisfying my curiosity 😊

Premier Inn room are not bad to start with. Good clean and same standard no matter where. I was given a Premier Plus room (free upgrade) at Heathrow T4. It was very nice. Fridge was specially appreciated to keep drinks and snacks cold. Sorry I’d take a fridge anyway over a coffee machine. And most would. If they have kids or babies or traveling by yourself. Apart from AC a fridge is probably the best addition to a room. And the Prem T4 had a Costa in the lobby so I could get a better coffee there anyway then I’d make.

The only problem with the weston Super Mare Premier Inn is the parking, no free car park,so we been to the one in Lympsham very nice just outside weston.

[@tanya2448]

I like a mini fridge in a hotel. When we travelled through the UK, we never got one with a mini fridge which comes standard with hotels in Australia. We never thought to check and the reason you want a mini fridge, it is nice to have a cold drink during the night or if you bought some food during the day that's need to be in a fridge or in my case insulin that needs to be in a fridge so these Premier Inn PLUS Room would be my pick just because of the fridge.

[@hannahk1306]

Yes, definitely a perk here in the UK. One tip if you need a fridge and the room doesn't have one is to ask at reception. Most hotels will have a fridge and sometimes a freezer that guests can use - they just ask you to have things labelled. It's obviously less convenient, because you have to ask at reception every time, but still useful to have.

[@flala2261]

I wish you could open a window a little in these hotels They can get so stuffy + dry with the compulsory aircon in each room

Stopped in the plus rooms a couple of times, the fridge is very useful as you can get a pint of proper milk so you can have lots of cups of tea as I bring Yorkshire tea bags with me when I stop in hotels!

[@jaeleighxxx7829]

It does look nice, never stayed in one but I'd definitely think about it if it's ever an option. Ty for sharing your vid.

[@martinbobfrank]

I travelled across the country for over a year, delivering five-day training sessions, and stayed in hotels paid for by work. I bought myself a mini fridge for just over £100, and it does improve your stay. You can have fresh milk in your tea (instead of powered), meats, salads and cold drinks. The alternative is powered milk, pot noodles things or expensive and timely visits to local restaurants or fast food outlets. It is a pain to carry in and out of the place though. There may also be a safety risk in taking your own mini fridge as it's not PAT tested by the hotel, but I never asked and just did it. I justified this to myself by thinking of all the guests taking their own laptops and devices. They plug them in to charge or use without the hotel PAT testing them.

Hi Tim. It's a lovely room. But I have never stayed in premier Inn or travel lodge. My sister always stay in premier Inn. I will get her to watch this one.

[@lizlilliman3644]

May have to see if the usual one I book for when we goto hoys has the plus rooms. Love a good Premier Inn. Always a good night sleep and being a 15 min drive away makes a cool down for your mind after the show. Trying a normal b&b in June in Peterborough as its closer to the theatre.

Hi Tim! I stayed at the Rochdale premier inn this weekend gone. I usually love premier inn as know to expect clean bed and nice bathrooms etc. Had a big disappointment. I have sleep apnea so need a CPAP machine which I need to keep it next to my bed when I’m asleep. Our room had no plug socket next to the bed or usb of any kind. We had to go to supermarket to get an extension lead to plug in near the telly. How bad is that in his day and age. Also had to wait over an hour for our dinner at the John Milne next door aswell. Not a great experience and I usually champion Premiers all the way. Don’t recommend that one if have wheelchair as there’s no lift either Loving that rainfall shower in your room. Love the power showers in the hotels anyway. They are amazing 😘👍🏻

[@WalkWithMeTim]

yes tbh I have had a few bad ones

[@Lilyobrien.x]

Thank you for this video on behalf of my parents who have booked a night away at this very hotel, next Saturday for their wedding anniversary, staying in a premier plus room. They asked me for help planning it all, I told them I know someone who has stayed in a plus room (as I haven't, yet & they beat me to it) So, we all watched this video together, 2 nights in a row

[@TheFrogfather1]

The reason I like Premier Inn when cycling is that they usually allow you to take the bike to your room. I'm pretty sure it's not policy, but if you ask where the cycle parking is, nine times out of ten they'll say 'just take it to the room'

[@endorfun22]

In the room, loving the purple mood lighting.

[@darranbeal5947]

Mr Tim, I have stayed many times in The Premier Inn Bournemouth, opposite The Royal Bath Hotel which you reviewed a few months back. It is converted from a 1930s grand old art deco hotel. The premier plus rooms have balcony's overlooking the pier, and you can smoke on them as well. Regarding your question about the fridge, there are usually 2 bottles of water in them 1 still, 1 sparkling, and I usually stock mine up with wine from Tesco. P.S. I have just booked the Premier Inn Al Jaddaf in Dubai for 10 nights next August, and the price including breakfast is an incredible £47 per night.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

yes they are exactly the same as in the uk .. but have a swimming pool lol

[@benjya]

Agree Premier Inn are always reliable - nothing fancy but clean, reasonable sized room for the price, great bed, decent TV (with HDMI socket below the TV to connect a laptop), cheap and decent WiFi...

[@gpinion29]

How ironic I got a premier inn ad before this video

[@simondavey7787]

I am a huge Premier Inn fan, but would love to see you try lots of budget brands and cheap boutiques. Thanks for a great video.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Great suggestion!

[@geojoanne1]

I always take my own tea and coffe to a premier inn or travelodge, only because I have a brand I prefer. I also buy a small bottle of milk at the local supermarket before I arrive, so I would appreciate a fridge in the room as I often have to throw milk away and buy a new one if staying for a few days

[@oliverstemp9132]

I love this ‘add a fancy chair and it’s a completely different room class’ idea. I still would choose Premier Inn because the breakfast is a bit rubbish usually. But, a nice room overall.

[@itsthatenglishdriver]

You always know what you’re getting with a premier inn. With the exception of the odd, easily rectified problem, I’ve never had any issues - the beds as you say are very comfortable, the rooms are usually very clean and the staff are usually very good. I would personally choose premier inn over Travelodge as they can be a bit hit and miss although they shouldn’t be completely ruled out as I’ve stayed in plenty of good Travelodge hotels. I’ve had it before when I’ve stayed somewhere awful which completely ruined the holiday so having the guarantee that premier inn can give of being generally very good, is very much worth it even if you pay a bit more.

[@rjh1748]

I believe you also get the upgraded Wi-Fi. Staying in a premier room in Feb in the Isle of Man so looking forward to see the difference for myself.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

yes did I not mention that

[@brandonjohnson6879]

The white unit on the corridor I believe is a air freshener from seeing one in Jury's Inn. 😊

[@davehanson7764]

I must admit Tim the beds are good in Premier Inn's , formerly the Premier Lodge the hotel chain was started by Scottish and Newcastle breweries , I stay in them quite a lot ( My favourite hotel chain is the Malmaison ) the Premier Inn on Dale Street in Manchester has floor to ceiling windows in some of the higher floor rooms .

[@xr6lad]

Weren’t they a merger of Travel Inn and Premier Lodge. One started by Whitbread the other by S&N? The merger occurred sometime in the early 2000’s? I know I always stayed at Travel Inn (probably bigger in the south).

[@ItsJustMel.]

Hi Tim, oh my that looks quite swish lol I would to be able to stay at one of those they look really comfy and welcoming, certainly feels like home.

[@Soundwave685]

First Premier Plus experiencen today and I love it. The fridge is a godsend and the walk in shower is much better than the baths. I am converted, if I can get a decent price.

[@reececollison5101]

Well this is a massive step up compared to the usual Britannia dives you get to review 🤣🤣🤣

[@lovelyjubbly478]

I always like my Premier Inns main reason being the bed and they provide a bath which I like. So glad you showed us the new rooms but I think I would decline not much better and no bath.

[@barrelroll415]

Premier Inns are my favourite hotels of all time. They have a certain vibe to them which other hotels dont have

[@neillock1807]

I love Premier Inns, I've spent more than a year of my life staying in them. (Including last night!) I've even bought one of their Hypnos beds for my home. But to me, a bath is an absolute essential. If I had booked a "superior" room, and it had only a shower, I would have gone ballistic.

[@simonnash9563]

Hi Tim, greetings from Melbourne Australia. Great channel. Premier Inns are our go to on our UK trips when not staying with family and friends. You know what you are going to get: consistency and value & also very friendly staff. Because our UK trips are planned and booked well in advance you can get great deals (but also flexibility). Might try a Plus room next trip but tbh, the bog standard ones are more than enough. Also the breakfasts…. 😋 sets us up for the day

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Thanks Simon, they are my favourite too

[@dianeprice5798]

Good vlog Tim,premier Inn have always been good to stay in ,they are clean and tidy and not expensive that what I like about them,but I also like holiday Inn, as for paying extra money for upper class premier Inn I would because some hotel you go to and pay more money and they are offen not great,plus it's great to have a hotel that people can afford and especially when it's clean and friendly,

[@WalkWithMeTim]

agree

[@gezzarandom]

I stayed in one and enjoyed it. No negatives.

[@gpearson2007]

Machine in the hall is a Scent Air machine. It atomizes scented oil.

[@aceward5694]

I've just stayed 3 nights at the Goodrington beach hotel in Paignton. Lovely clean warm room & friendly staff. My only complaint is the price, the £35 a night rooms are almost none existent now as opposed to a few years ago & I do think for the price, a couple of bottles of water should be standard.
