Premier Inn Dundee (Monifieth)

Well run hotel in a good location for both Dundee and Aberdeen. Plenty of parking. Friendly and helpful staff. Food in Brewers Fayre next door was well prepared and quick to arrive.

First appearance the place looks great although the road in from an adjacent business park could be improved - the road passes by a drive in coffee business - it’s all very confusing and an accident waiting to happen. Once on hotel grounds there’s plenty of parking. The hotel shares the site with a Brewers Fayre restaurant so it can be very busy at dinner time. Hotel check in was easy enough, largely thanks to Kay who was a star. Our room was in the first floor and there are no lifts. The room was spacious with a double bed and bed come sofa. There were tea and coffee making facilities and a decent view into a hillside with cows! The bathroom only had a bath with a shower over it was all a bit dated. The step into the bath for a shower seemed a little risky as there were no grab rails. The room was clean and the bed came with extra pillows. The staff we met all seemed friendly but this hotel is all about you arrive? You sleep, you leave. No frills.

I stay in a lot of premier inn hotels with work , and personally think this hotel is the worse av stayed in it needs an upgrade asap , old heaters in the rooms give off really bad smell , the rooms are cleaned but feel dirty and the carpets I wouldn’t walk without shoes on never mind bare feet . The staff are friendly and very helpful and the restaurant attached on to hotel is great , The problem is the outdated rooms and feeling dirty in them and rooms are also very cold even with heating on . Also the lock on the inside it’s a chain you would get in an old tenement , and the key is old school and has massive bit of wood hanging of it . (No key cards)
