The staff were all very helpful and friendly, the room was very comfortable and clean, on-site parking very secure and breakfast very tasty with plenty of options for both food and drink. One of the best premier inns we have stayed at and location was ideal

Really lovely Premier inn in a very central location. Car park was full ( we arrived about 9pm) but we were able to park in the car park opposite. £4 unless we moved the car by 8am which we managed to! Had a Premier Plus room ( family ) great walk in shower and a proper single bed not a pull out. We got a drink from the bar to take to our room not badly priced. Didn’t have breakfast but would happily stay at this one again.

Hotel as expected having stayed in many over the years and stayed here before. We had booked the evening meal, but received a call from the hotel staff saying restaurant was closed and could they book another restaurant for us. Found this very professional.

Bed was very comfortable. We were upgraded from a twin to a family room when the electric wasn't working in our twin room and this was dealt with promptly and with a friendly manner from the staff. Breakfast really good - lots of choice and the sausages were very good! Love the location as I have family in Dorchester as well as Bridport and Weymouth, so a great base to visit them and very close to the train station. Overall, very impressed with the hotel. Shower is lovely and the room has everything you need. Staff were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. My only minor issue is the temperature in the room at night - it was a little too warm. I have stayed here twice now and would definitely stay again.

Excellent hotel, close to town, market, cinema and restaurants. Very easy to find. Rooms clean and bright. There are hair dryers even though it says no on website! The best is the underground car park which again isn’t mentioned on website. This is very secure as well so you know your car is ok. There are limited spaces but we did find one. You need to check in first and you get a permit. This can be used at other car parks nearby. And it’s only £4 a day!

Good points - Nice hotel in nice area. Clean room. Comfy beds and pillows (duvet too hot). Staff were all really nice. Breakfast was mostly ok but best on the morning it was cooked to order. Check out at 12. Bad points - room temp minimum on air con controls was 19?? I had to keep the window open in the night but it was raining which wasn’t an issue but something outside was dripping loudly so then I had to shut the window at 3am both nights because it was annoying and then I was too hot…. I had ear plugs and could hear the dripping through them. I didn’t complain because I don’t think it’s the staffs fault something was dripping but I think premier inn should do something about room temperature controls. Awful tv! Doesn’t go loud enough and hardly any channels. I’d probably stay here again though because the good points outweigh the bad. The staff really make this hotel though. They’re all really approachable and friendly and nothing seemed like too much hassle when I needed something.

Breakfast, bacon was so overcooked inedible, eggs cold. Evening meals, quality of food was not great and limited menu. Compared with our Camborne stay which I would rate 5 stars, Dorchester 1 star. Staff were polite, however they were almost like reading from a script.
