Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Premier House enjoys a superb location, often described as a short walk from the town centre and attractions like the Whalebones. Guests consistently praise the stylish, modern décor and the spotless cleanliness of both the rooms and bathrooms. Many appreciate the comfortable beds and the large, powerful showers, though some guests in the loft room found their mattress less comfortable. Parking is generally easy, and the availability of porridge breakfast pots adds to the positive experience.

a decent stay overall

walk in shower bottles of water cereal bars cramped loft uncomfortable mattress room replacement

the room was very clean. it had a lovely big bathroom with a walk in shower. cereal bars, bottles of water & porridge pots were also provided because they don't provide a cooked breakfast..

the loft room is a bit cramped. the mattress is definitely due for a replacement. it was very uncomfortable.

horribly noisy main door

The location was acceptable.

Room 1 should be avoided. It was noisy because it is next to the main door. I heard the key code and people coming and going all night.
