Guest reviews
Good
Amazing stay, great staff
Liked: We stayed to attend an event in the city and Premier Inn was so handy being only a short walk to the city centre. We arrived prior to the check in time and the girl on reception was super pleasant and offered us early check-in at a cost of €15 or storage for our bags, as we were not in a rush at that point we decided to leave our bags and after a drink go and explore for a while. The bar was lovely and bright and the young man behind it was extremely friendly and gave us great advise on bars to go to after our event ends Breakfast was very tasty and the team were very approachable
Avoid
Liked: We use premier inn whenever we can. Staff, cleanliness and of course the mattresses. This time was a mistake. Some staff members stand out as great: Paidraigh who booked us in, and a Spanish staff-member whose name I don’t know. Beyond booking in, it was a truly horrible experience.
City Centre base camp
Liked: Great city centre location and off a main road. Bars, restaurants and attractions all within a short walk. Public transport is really cheap if you want to go further afield. Friendly staff and generally a quiet but pleasant feel in bar/reception area. Room was a good size and the rain shower was a pleasant surprise. My room was facing inwards so really quiet (but wonder if the courtyard might get busy in summer months)? Not the cheapest I’ve ever stayed in but was competitive with other local hotels and travelling solo is always more expensive. Buffet breakfast was good value. Overall you know what to expect with Premier Inn and I was very happy with this stay.
A short stay
Liked: There seems to be a lack of staff in this Premier inn. Check in took a long time, as it was busy. It appears, the same staff member works on reception and the bar and restaurant. The hotel is becoming a bit worn. The lounge/foyer area was too cold, to sit comfortably for any length of time. The staff were all very pleasant. I would return, if I got it for a good price, as it is in a good location.
Excellent
Liked: Everything was excellent. All staff, especially Mark, were so friendly, warm and welcoming. Everything was clean, quiet and comfy, in the rooms and the hotel. Beds in particular were so comfy. Food was amazing, great selection and fresh, both dinner and breakfast. Perfect rooms for our group family stay. Would definitely recommend and stay again.
Fantastic stay
Liked: Had a fantastic weekend with family. Great location. Hotel clean and comfortable, very welcoming. Staff were all friendly and helpful, especially Mark, Ross, Miguel, Padraig and Mariana, made to feel very welcome. Deserve recognition, thank you all.
