Premier Inn Weymouth Seafront

None of the furniture in the room matched each other. There doesn’t seem to be any lift on the interior hotel. So if you’re disabled or elderly to the point you need help with stairs do not even bother booking here. There was lots painting going on that the smell of the paint was over powering. The hallways reminded me of a hospital ward or an old people’s home (see photos). Only good thing about the room was there were plenty of power wall sockets you could charge your devices with. And even a USB port with-in the socket. Fire extinguisher’s propping open fire doors, a complete violation of health & safety. Free parking was good, just remember to input the details of your car at reception. The Brewers Fair on site, well where do I begin. Old, ran down. Had items missing off the menu (seams to be theme with all on-site restaurants or pubs on Premier Inn Sites). This was the first one where there’s not been table service and so you have to queue at the bar to order with the other 4 people in front of you. Waiting for the one person who seams to be actually doing so work. Was told off at breakfast by a female who I’m guessing the manager, I stood to the side of the buffet hot food to get some black pudding as you couldn’t reach it from the front. She snapped and said “hey you can’t be stood there”. I politely said it’s because no one could reach it. She just rolled her eyes at me. And other customers noticed and said to me quietly that she must be having a bad morning. As a manager I don’t expect to be spoken to and be treated like that. The breakfast was okay, not really laid out with any care. You couldn’t help yourself properly as the heated counter was so hot, you couldn’t pick up the utensils to pick the food up with. Had to put 3-4 layers of napkins over my fingers to stop them being burnt. The coffee machine kept stopping coz it needed to be emptied, which after standing there for 3-4 minutes while the manager ignored it and got someone else to empty it. The other coffee machine was either broken or not even setup or switched on. Won’t be coming back that’s for sure. Even the other 2 people I was with agreed with me as they helped me write this review.

A lovely older Premier Inn, situated very near the seafront, (only about 2 min walk to the seafront, across the road) and right nextdoor to the Weymouth Sealife Centre. It is a little bit out of the centre of the town, but the steady 15 min walk along the seafront into the centre wasn't a chore. As Premier Inn's go it ticked most of the boxes as to what you get, which is what I like about them as you know exactly what you are going to get. The staff were friendly and welcoming and very accomodating. It was the perfect place to use as a base and a place to sleep for our holiday. The only negative thing I would say about our stay in this particular Premier Inn was the water pressure in the room wasn't brilliant, which made the shower a little bit poor and also resulted in the toilet taking ages to fill up after being flushed. It took so long that the first time we experienced it we thought the toilet wasn't working properly. We reported it and were told it was a known issue and were assured the toilet would refill eventually.

Unfortunately, during a recent stay in September, I woke up covered in insect bites that appear consistent with bed bugs. After returning home, I decided to look into whether anyone else had experienced similar issues, and came across a review from April 2025 describing almost the exact same problem, only in that case, it also involved a child and a trip to A&E, which I find quite troubling that there still appears to be an issue 5 months later. I understand things can occasionally go wrong, but it’s how they’re handled that makes all the difference. At the very least, I would hope the hotel takes this seriously, carries out a thorough inspection, and any remedial actions . I did see a Pharmacist in Weymouth and she prescribed me steroid cream & Prition which did help . I have given 3 stars rather than 1 star as the staff were helpful and did change our bedding .
