“Good location, but overpriced for the quality”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

On a business trip with 5 colleagues - we needed a hotel close to the railway station for 2 nights and the Premier Inn fit the bill perfectly. There is no parking at the hotel itself, the alternatives are a small adjacent carpark or a short walk to the nearby NCP. I would recommend the NCP as you don't have to return every day for another parking ticket. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The rooms themselves were quite clean - but my room stank of damp, with the extractor fan in the bathroom not being effective. Lighting in the room was awful, choice of dim or none - with no lights anywhere near the mirror, making make-up application difficult. Whilst the room was clean, the carpet in the communal areas was filthy - you almost had to wipe your feet on the way out. The price was much higher than hotels of a similar rating nearby - £89 a night without breakfast. Wouldn't come back from choice.

“Does what it says on the tin”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

We spent two nights here as part of the premier inn rewards weekends. As always, room was clean and functional. We had two good nights sleep, especially considering it was weekend and busy. It's only a short walk into the centre and we managed to park the car on the premier inn car park £17 for 48 hours. Would stay again

“Great location,Beware of Elephant !!!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

Just arrived back from 3 day break which was very enjoyable. Only complaint would be not enough sound proofing between 1st & 2nd floor for 1 night only i think we had a ghost of an elephant above us stomping around most of the night. That apart we got it at the saver rate so can't complain £140 for 3 nights bed and breakfast in the middle of York. Only 10 mins walk to most city centre attractions with plenty of eating and drinking places along the way.If you use the car park around the block it is locked up inside overnight at a cost of £8.50 per 24 hours.

Room Tip: Ask for top floor to avoid the elephant.

“Fabulous...until fire alarm goes off!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012 via mobile
1
person found this review helpful

Fab location, easy to find, 5mins walk to city centre. Room clean and comfy although light is either too bright (lights on) on too dark (lights off) with nothing in between. Wetherspoons well placed over road for cheap breakfast! Only (major) issue we had was someone arriving back at 3am Sunday morning and setting off fire alarm! Evacuation to car park was managed wel by guests but staff were nowhere to be seen. Return to building 10mins later and returned to bed only for alarm to go again before stopping...repeat every 30secs for an hour! Staff on reception gave no apologies and only explanation was drunken guest who'd been thrown out (quite how this works when there are multiple ways into hotel I'm unsure!). Next morning we checked out and saw sheet of paper apologising, but no automatic offer of refund...this had to be specifically requested despite "great nights sleep guarantee". So...great location and good room..but don't expect them to be proactive if something goes wrong!

“Rowdy Drunks or Druggies Next Door?”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

Staying in budget accommodation close to a city centre can mean that sometimes others staying in the same accommodation will come in at 0407hrs in a rowdy and perhaps drunken/drugged state intent on shouting and making as much noise as possible. We had this happen to us when three individuals were located in the next bedroom (206). These three seemed intent on banging and shouting for the next hour or so after they arrived back at this Premier Inn in the early hours. With a very disturbed nights sleep, the next morning we went to reception to complain and were told the the offenders would be leaving that day and hopefully the problem should not arise again. We were asked if we would like another room, but there seemed little point in moving if these three characters were leaving. We have stayed at this Premier Inn in the past and have never encountered this type of behaviour, but it does demonstrate what can be experienced in this type of accommodation. Once a card giving access to the buildings has been issued, anyone can come and go with their mates without the separately located reception having any idea about what is going on. The CCTV cameras seemed to be pointing in the wrong directions. One does wonder what the fire risk is, with characters like these staying in an adjacent bedroom. This experience is not a good reflection on this Premier Inn and maybe others that are used by those who are intent on behaving in this manner. It is difficult to see how, but something should be done to avoid others having the misfortune to experience what we did. At breakfast the staff in the restaurant all seemed to know what had gone on during the night, but did say it does not happen very often at York.

Room Tip: Try to avoid bedrooms with drunks next door!
