This was our first stay in a Premier Inn and the only reason we decided to do so was that we were attending a function nearby and would only spend a few hours in the room and therefore didn't want to spend too much money. Having spent most of our lives staying in 'good' hotels, we were amazed at the... more

I was a little apprehensive about staying here having read some of the reviews so I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived to check in after a long hard day. The lady on reception was very helpful and quick to go through the check-in formalities (which was a relief as myself and colleagues were desperate to hit the bar!). Despite... more

Overall a decent place to stay - certainly not a 'destination hotel' but popular with business travellers and those looking for an affordable comfortable stay. The dated motel exterior belies a well maintained interior. Rooms are comfortable and clean. The hotel doesn't have a restaurant, but as as a business account holder I was given a meal voucher for the... more

This Premier Inn is easy to find and off the main road so it's quiet. Check-in staff we're friendly and efficient. Our room (and I assume most others) backed on to the Thornbury Cricket Club, which makes for an attractive view in the morning, our room even had a wide balcony. The room was clean, tidy and functional including a... more

The service we all received was somthing that we all never expected from a budget hotel, better than alot of 4 stars i have stayed inn!! The hotel and pub have both had a massive refurb, the overall... more

I come from this town but now live in the USA. My room which was very small, was not very inviting, I would definately look for something else in the area. The little girls on reception were rude and patronising and really shouldn't be working in the Hotel trade. The only thing I would recommend about the place is the... more

Our first Premier Inn experience. Loved the clean, white bedding - a washable duvet cover rather than an icky gaudy occasionally-cleaned counterpane. Bed was very comfortable. Other pluses were good online access, excellently directable reading lights, clean solid looking bathroom, lots of hot water. A comparatively pleasant location for a value hotel, we stayed in rooms 121 and 123, quiet.... more

This is the only Premier Inn that has disappointed me as the room wasn't ready at 4.45pm. Now I did say that I wouldn't be there until 5pm! Otherwise to a similar standard as most of the PIs. Convenient for Slimbridge. more

Like another reviewer, I grew up only several miles from this hotel and in the 60s-70s 'The Ship' was a posh hotel where such people as the England football team stayed. After I left the area it seemed, to go downhill as an outpost of the Trusthouse Forte empire. It has been refurbished and 'rebranded' in recent years. We gave... more
