Premier Inn is famous for one thing: the Hypnos bed. And yes, it’s as good as the legend says. I sank into that mattress like it was a marshmallow throne. After a day of pushing a buggy through cobblestone streets, my back actually thanked me. You know a hotel bed is good when you wake up and don’t immediately resent the alarm clock.
But here’s what I didn’t expect: the silence. For a hotel right on a high street, my room was weirdly quiet. Like, library-on-tranquilizers quiet. The windows are double-glazed to the point you could probably have a silent disco in the hallway and not hear a thing. (I didn’t test this, but I was tempted.)

And the bathroom? Spotless. White tiles that gleam like a dentist’s dream. The shower pressure was strong enough to peel paint, which is my personal metric for a good hotel. Nothing says “I’m on holiday” like a shower that forces you to lean against the wall.
Breakfast: The Hot and Cold Buffet That Judges You
If you’re a breakfast person, you’re in luck. The all-you-can-eat buffet is real. And it’s dangerous. I watched a businessman eat five croissants while staring into the middle distance. No judgment here—I had two plates of hash browns myself.
The cooked breakfast is the usual: eggs, bacon, sausage, beans, mushrooms. Comfort food for the soul. But the real star is the fresh fruit and yogurt section. I know, I sound like a health influencer. But when you’ve had a late night at the BrewDog, that cold watermelon hits different. Trust me.
One tip: go early. By 8:30 AM, the dining room fills up with families whose kids are already arguing over a sticker book. (Again, no judgment. I was that parent.)
