Most Common Premier Inn Complaints and Tips

While Premier Inn is well-regarded for its comfortable accommodations and numerous locations, complaint data from our community has flagged several recurring issues that guests encounter during their stays. Common complaints include not receiving confirmation emails for bookings, the avoidant behavior regarding the Good Night Sleep Guarantee, and unsatisfactory room conditions. There are also instances of wrongful eviction, double payments, dirty rooms, and concerns about certain employees' misconduct and theft.

To avoid these issues, we strongly advise customers to double-check their booking confirmations and keep detailed records. Address any service guarantees directly at the location and report any issues immediately to management, documenting all interactions. For financial discrepancies, closely monitor your bank statements and contact both Premier Inn and your bank as soon as possible.
