Premier Inn Caernarfon

It was a good stay

Overall the stay was ok.The only issues that we had was the fact the room needed some filler in the walls, and a lick of paint.The bedside table, which should have been attached to the headboard had been broken,and replaced by a chair that was quite unstable.

The hotel is in a good location, the staff at check in were friendly and very efficient, and there is parking nearby that is reasonably priced. The room was clean but it was SO dark, even with all the lights on. We didn’t ask to move rooms because we could see the whole building was surrounded closely by other buildings so they all looked to be dark. It was also the most dated Premier Inn I’ve stayed at. It was clean and served its purpose, but little things like paint peeling off the wall in the bathroom or putting in more lights seem like easy touches to make it better. The bathroom was dated, I can’t remember the last time I stayed in a hotel that had such an old style bath/shower. I feel that shower curtains are unhygienic. The toilet seat was one of those cheap plastic ones that cuts in to you, paired with the one-sheet toilet paper in a plastic dispenser I felt like I was back in school every time I went to the loo! And the bed is waaaay too soft so wasn’t comfortable. There was nothing when making the booking saying you needed to bring any documents when checking in. I called the hotel to be sure beforehand, as I didn’t want to turn up and not have what they needed. They said I didn’t need anything. When I mentioned my husband wasn’t from the UK, they said he would need some form of photo ID, which isn’t a problem but if that’s needed it should be mentioned when booking (or when you ask without needing to specify what country we are from). In the end when we checking in no one asked for anything anyway.

The hotel is in a perfect location for Caernarfon. It wasn't too far away from anything and within walking distance to the town. Usually premier inn's do have parking but this one didn't. However, there was a secure car park across the road which cost £7.50 per day which isn't too bad. Our room was above average but attention to detail was lacking - there were stains on the carpet and the shower curtain rail was hanging out of the wall. Luckily, we were only staying for 1 night and barely spent any time in there or i would've said something at the desk. I just think for £147 per night, the attention to detail should be there.

Really clean and comfortable, slept so well as the bed was so comfy and as no noise pollution. The restaurant was nice also and the views were stunning. Would highly recommend this place, the best PI I have visited so far for business or leisure.
