Premier Inn Douglas, Isle of Man

Nice room near the center. They only cleen when you specifically asc them to - Didn't bother us

The Rooms look nothing like the photos, ours was stale and smelt damp. They was even black mould growing on the skirting board in the bathroom. No opening windows. The staff however were amazing doing an amazing job with only 3 members of staff working from early morning until late at night. Whatever they were paid it wasn’t enough. Georgia the manager was seen to be doing every job in the hotel including lifting very heavy barrels of beer into the bar. Shame on Premier inn for working there staff like work hoses. And a very well done to, Georgia Judy, Thomas, who remained friendly helpful and professional even though they must have been exhausted.

We arrived without a booking for a breakfast as a treat for my mum. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Breakfast buffet was cold. We complained so the manager of the restaurant said she’d have our breakfast cooked fresh. All they did was microwave it which ruined it completely. Basically, £30 odd quid wasted. Won’t be going back there again.

Chains! McDonalds, KFC, Premier Inn...all chains with the theory that we as customers know in advance what we are buying wherever we are...because it (should be) is in theory, the same. If that is true, then Premier Inn Douglas may have to bid a sad farewell. Dirty bathroom. Shower over the bath that failed to retain the water therein, with it then all over the floor. A carpet in the bedroom that was strangely reminiscent of a well known pub chain carpet. not great. did not look or feel particularly clean. Guests are advised to ask at reception if they wish their room to be cleaned. We did ask. At the third time of asking, we did get the service...at 5.30pm!!! Overall, not the best experience really. The one thing all these places have in common is the willingness and hard work of the staff. The staff are absolutely failed by their employers!

This was our third visit here whilst visiting relatives on the Island, and unfortunately our last. We booked a mixture of premier plus and standard rooms for our party, but all were looking very tired and in desperate need of refurbishment. There was a huge bleach stain on the corridor carpet on the 5th floor, and the carpet in our room (506) had a muddy stain, which could have been easily cleaned. The sink hadn't been cleaned from the previous occupants, and the fixed shower screen had a lot of mould around it, with one of the silicone seals hanging out of it. Our party stayed 3 nights and despite requesting our rooms being cleaned and fresh towels, this only happened on the final night for one of the three rooms. We ate in the hotel one evening and we have no clue how the two young members of staff calculated our bill. We queried this with the Duty Manager, Maxine, who was very apologetic and agreed we had been overcharged by over £18. She refunded us a couple of breakfasts that we had already prepaid but upon checking my bank at home can see that she actually charged me an additional £21.98 instead of refunding. The staff do work hard and are very nice, but the systems and procedures which have Premier Inn have introduced since our last visit, would mean this hotel isn;t an option for us in the future.
