Premier Inn Peterborough City Centre Hotel

連續住了好幾天，因為房卡衹有一張，一不留神就落在房間裏，為此，前台阿姨都記住我了，特意給我兩張卡。酒店外面一個公園，一個紅綠燈路口，走到鬧區也就幾分鐘。peterborough城市不錯，小而全，有一個大主教堂，建築歷史感。

挺好的酒店

Very close to the city centre and only a short walk to Cathedral Square. We had a comfortable and very reasonable stay. Good breakfast. You had to pay for parking. The daily rate is reasonable but be aware that you have to pay it every time you leave, so unless you are leaving your car there for 24 hours it is expensive to come and go. Other car parks nearby are cheaper.

We stayed for one night, lovely premier inn, we had a Premier plus room, had a fridge and ironing board, we chose to park at the hotel, it clocks your reg coming in and there is a discount code by the door of premier inn as you leave, take this code and put into machine when you pay for parking when you leave. (please note you have to pay everytime you leave the car park) We paid £14 for 1 night, you can park over the road in council car park which is cheaper if you want. Breakfast was nice, we did eat here in the evening and I didn't enjoy it, personally I am not keen on the Thyme in house restaurants, so will be eating out from now on if I stay in preimer inns with Thyme restaurants. Town centre was literally cross at the traffic lights and walk straight down the road, about 3 mins, beautiful river across the road from Premier Inn if you fancy a walk along it.

The welcome at the hotel wasn’t exactly great. It was a bit blunt when we went to reception. It was hot and the bar was closed so we didn’t have any option to get a drink unless we went out somewhere. The room was clean and tidy. The toilet paper is basically useless though- I will bring my own next time. The breakfast was ok. Quality of the bacon and sausages needs improving a fair bit I think and I think a fried breakfast should have the chance of fried bread personally. The glasses for drinks also need to be larger. Also, if you make guests pay for breakfast then please make sure someone is there to check they have- when we went down Friday morning nobody was around and we weren’t going to hang around and wait- we were hungry so just went in. Nobody checked if we paid though. If you ask people to wait to be seated, someone should always be in view to make sure guests can be checked. There was an example of very poor service Friday night. For some reason the WiFi code runs out after 24 hours despite me being there and paying for it for my entire stay. So I went downstairs to get another one and nobody was about. Me and another guest rang the buzzer- nobody came. We rang it multiple times, knocked on the door next to reception multiple times. Nothing. The other guest went to the person serving at the bar who confirmed he was the only one downstairs at the time so was doing everything. This simply isn’t good enough- for staff or guests. I also asked for another WiFi code and he didn’t even check I had paid, or get my room number - he just gave me one. So again, there was no real need for me to have paid for it. There were a group of WiFi codes on the reception desk which I realised I could have just taken as well- I will expect premier inn to refund me the cost of the WiFi given its clear they just give it out to whoever asks. The air con in the room worked very well, although could have done with going a bit cooler I think given the very hot weather. Me and my boyfriend both said the bed was very sturdy and comfortable, so that was a positive.

Reception staff member was very helpful and dining staff at dinner were lovely (I didn’t get any names, sorry) the food was lovely and lots of choice, breakfast was equally as good served cheerfully by Kate & Isabella and cooked by chef Shaun
