Dorchester

Just had a lovely stay here, probably the best we've stayed in. Clean,comfortable bed, nice and quiet. Staff all friendly and very helpful. The train station is just a 5 min walk which was perfect for us. We had a breakfast which was very nice plenty of choice and the cooked breakfast was nice and hot. Well done premier inn

Exactly the level of cleanliness comfort and quality that you expect from a Premier Inn. Good value. Very easy for the station. Good location for selection of amenities and eateries.

This is a strange hotel, the accommodation is fine but the catering arrangements not so good. The good points are that the rooms are comfortable with the usual fluffy pillows and comfy mattresses. The problem came with the meals. As soon as we arrived for our evening meal we were told that there were no cucumbers, tomatoes or pizzas available. Surely salad items are available from local shops, we're not in the middle of nowhere! The evening meal was okay, the biggest problem was the delay delivering them, the chef placed them on a counter but due to lack of staff they sat there getting cold. Then breakfast and this also didn't go well. When we arrived at 0930 there seemed to be loads of staff but they suddenly disappeared not to be seen for some time. Items on the buffet were in short supply, no orange juice or brown bread. The chef was the only person available to assist and so he left his cooking to top everything up, he was a hero. Sadly this was not helping his proper job so the supplies were running low on the hot buffet. As usual the fried eggs were cooked to oblivion, no runny yolks. The staff eventually returned only to clear the tables indicating breakfast was over but it was 30 minutes before breakfast was due to finish. We always use Premier Inn but their catering standards are getting worse. It can't be a coincidence that they are beginning to rely on in-house cooking instead of tried & tested Beefeaters or Brewers Fayre.
