Premier Inn Bedford South (A421)

If you ever stay at Trentham Gardens Premier Inn (we did says before staying here), you'd find it hard to believe it's the same company. As a comparison for value, we paid £98.98 for Trentham and £110 for Bedford South., both inclusive of breakfast. We booked as a couple, room obviously set up for just one person. One set of towels, one armchair, only two tea bags (stingy). Mould in the shower, and grimey skirting board, soap dispenser hadn't been cleaned for months even if it had been refilled. Threadbare carpet and very low ceilings (6' 4" people are in danger of head injuries). Breakfast was disgusting and over at Brewers Fayre. Woman on reception got us the second set of towels, but didn't check that anything else was needed. To compare, the Trentham garden Premier Inn was clean, spacious, had new carpet and a purple light in the bathroom - really beautifully decorated - and staff were fab. The breakfast was superb. Don't understand why the two were so different, but Bedford South needs to shut down for a refurb. I feel for any of the guys using this as a stopover for work purposes.

Is nobody doing anything about the horrendous black mould in the bathrooms....Im not the first to highlight either. Not to mention the paint worn, flaking and the smell.... Don't bother dining next door, the place is run by untrained kids. Get your act together Bedford South

Hotel clean staff good please be aware that if you use the taxi phone in reception you will pay escalated prices I asked the cost of our taxi to a venue was told 6/7 pounds by a local 1st journey £20 return £30 Premier are you aware you are promoting a company that charges your customers these rates and giving them advertising space in your reception? Our destination was literally 3.8 miles away please be aware

Check in was polite and efficient by Annabelle. The room was very clean but the first room only had one large towel and the TV had no signal. I let Annabelle know and she apologised, provided another towel and checked another room which was cleaned and reprogrammed our key so we could change rooms. Very quiet and cosy, great amenities.

decent size rooms, good facilities, didnt like the location though, middle of nowhere with a actual old school telephone to ring a taxi. regular premer inn vibe. nothing new or special. on the phone the day before they told me their business printer was avaliable but the lady on reception told me actually it had been broken for ages and they just had a reciept printer

Would highly recommend this premier inn. The staff were the best in all aspects. The bed in our room was superb. Very very comfy. There was a great car park, and was always room to park up, no matter the time of day or night. The restaurant was excellent!!@ Thank you premier inn for our stay A+++++++++××
