Premier Inn Caerphilly Crossways

We had 3 rooms. 2 in the main building and one in the outer building. The rooms in the main building are extremely hot and very dated. No air conditioning in these rooms. Everything needs a good refurbishment. There’s rust around the fittings and mirror. You can’t sleep as the rooms are extremely hot. One of lights didn’t work and flimsy lamp shades and curtains with dated fabric. They rooms need decorating as look drab and old. The room in the outer building had air conditioning and was more modern but we were given one bath towel. We asked for more and were given one more. There were no hand towels or bath mat. I would not stay there again. I’ve stayed in a lot of Premier Inns and this was by far the worse. If you want a good night sleep book somewhere else.

Nice enough hotel for a short stay. Free parking, room was a good size and comfortable bed. Reception staff very welcoming. Unfortunately, the room was 25°c with no way of cooling it. Far too hot to sleep well and noisy machine outside the window along with drilling early in the morning so a difficult night's sleep all in all.

Comfortable bed, clean room, plenty of parking, good onsite pub/restaurant, top ups for tea, coffee and milk available and lovely staff. McDonalds and a Costa next door too! what more does one need?! We always stay at this hotel when in the area if a room is available.

Good accommodation as expected. A few minor issues- only one towel provided which was threadbare and the hairdryer didn’t work but room fine. Corridors needed a good clean and towel rail and shower rail a bit rusty. None of this caused a real problem as staff very good, friendly and helpful.

Hotel was great. Very reasonably priced and staff were great Big negative was the restaurant/pub closing at 9pm, why? Was looking forward to a catch up with family. Never known a pub to close at 9pm Please remember if you fancy a few drinks and a meal

My company stopped booking Premier Inn until they recently changed our booking provider and them the option of booking Premier Inn again reappeared. Sadly covid times came flooding back with literally no service to the room after check in. No bins emptied, no towels changed, no tea making facilities topped up. This must be the only hotel group still living in the past. They will say that this can be requested but who wants to go to reception to beg for the basics to be done that should be part of the service. The price of the room does not cost any less for longer stays to reflect this. My advice is if you are stay more than 1 night is to book your days separately so at least you come back to a "clean" room. This leads me only the review of the hotel in question. I checked in to my room and noticed that Premier inn are now using clear glass type cups. I put the kettle on and turned over my cup to be presented with a cup that was left and used by the previous guest. lips stains on the cup and a thick coffee rim that ran down the cup. I took this to reception and show the lady on duty who said asked me if I had checked in the previous day as the cups are not cleaned for longer than 1 day stays. I said no. I checked in 5 minutes ago with you. She looked at the cup and grimmest and said.. "I know why this is, The lady that does the rooms does not like wearing her glasses" and proceeded to say "Do you want me to replace this?" Well yess. Thats why I brought it too you. NOT GOOD ENOUGH!! This left me thinking the whole time during my stay. What else hasn't been changed or cleaned? When I decided to have a shower I did try and use the shower gel but this is simply not fit for purpose. It was water with the odd bubble. This is obviously watered down beyond the purpose of being effective. Other hotel chains pride themselves on the quality of their toiletries with Holiday Inn being the exception. I travel the UK and book hotels on a weekly basis but will not return to Premier inn until they focus on customer service and not live in the past as a money saving exercise. The one thing you can guarantee is a comfortable bed and descent pillows but I have doubts on the cleanliness on this stay.
