Sittingbourne Kent

Good all round experience the night staff member in particular was superb very friendly and professional in terms of greeting upon arrival and cheerful whenever we returned from visiting friend

My recent overnight stay at the Premier Inn Sittingbourne in early May was unfortunately marred by an unwelcome eagerness to usher guests out. While the room itself was a good size and clean, the overall experience felt rushed and intrusive. I had opted to pay an additional £15 for an earlier check-in, allowing me into the room an hour and a half before the standard time. This seemed to imply a degree of flexibility, yet the following morning told a different story. Despite check-out being at a reasonable midday, I was disturbed twice by housekeeping staff knocking loudly on my door in the early morning. The second instance was particularly disruptive, as they let themselves into the room without waiting for a response. This aggressive approach to turning over rooms so far in advance of the official check-out time created a feeling of being pushed out. It was a far from relaxing experience and left me feeling like the hotel was more concerned with efficiency than guest comfort. For a hotel stay, particularly one where an early check-in was paid for, this kind of pressure to depart is simply unacceptable.

Not sure where to start, our stay was amazing from start to finish. The receptionist (Christine) was amazing with a big smile on her face from the time we walked through the doors, and her customer service was over and beyond her job description, where she ensured that we was happy and checked in without any disruptions. Even when we could not work the heating in our room, she personally came up and sorted this out. After checking in my sister and I actually spoke about how she was and said, 'it is people like her that are best at welcoming guest, as it starts your break off on a positive note'. We also had the pleasure of meeting a manager (Emma) who was also amazing, and ensured that when we checked out, it was without a hitch, so we was able to catch our train on time (as it was really hard to book a taxi), but she was fantastic and we made it to the train station with time to spare. The room was comfortable, clean and we slept really well. Lovely peaceful relaxing hotel, and we will definitely be back... The next time we will book the breakfast. Thank you so all the staff that we met throughout our time as they all seemed friendly and professional.

The room was clean and tidy. I found the bed quite neat as well and I should add that the environment was serene and conducive for my meeting. Staff were kind and polite. Alison in particular was absolutely helpful in checking me in and ensuring that I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Thank you very much Alison for all your help. See you again next time.

I’m a HGV driver and unfortunately my vehicle had broken down and couldn’t be fixed. My vehicle eventually got recovered into a safe place at 10pm which meant I needed a hotel. I booked the Premier Inn in Sittingbourne last minute and checked in at 11pm. The gentleman at the front desk was very friendly and let me borrow a plug so I could charge my mobile phone. After grabbing a late meal I eventually got to bed at midnight and had started work at 5:30am that day so a comfy bed was very much needed. I had a lovely sleep until I was rudely awakened by a member of staff letting themselves into my room at 8am without even knocking on the door. When I spoke to the members of staff at the front desk about this, they had told me that someone had handed my room key in the drop box so they thought I’d checked out. This obviously was a lie as of course I had the room key in my hand. Unacceptable reason given in my opinion and a decent nights sleep cut short.

Really nice staff! Alison is definitely the best though. Bed is comfortable, heating works, it's not that noisy as an area. Cooked breakfast is good. Not a big fan of the food options but that's not completely relevant to the hotel. No complaints really.
