George Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 23/06/2025Do not use Premier Inn. I booked (it was a rush, don't ask), a 3-bed room in Cardiff. Here's what they sold me. Here's what I got. Despite a long argument, all they will offer is a 19% refund. Their reason? "Room size and set up can vary based on the hotel and the number of guests." 5830756 307
Melody Lee Lacy @melodyleelacy.bsky.social · 23/06/2025They have no idea how much disrespecting George Monbiot will cost them. 020 2
vivlaurens.bsky.social @vivlaurens.bsky.social · 23/06/2025George, you get what you pay for. I come to the UK regularly and hotels are really expensive. I was annoyed when they refused to reimburse my room bcs I could not turn the high heating down once and it was devilishly hot, but otherwise it is basic but reliable and cheap. 000 0

Onno Benschop @owh.bsky.social · 23/06/2025Well, that's 385,000 people who won't be visiting the Premier Inn in Cardiff any time soon .. thanks for the heads up. 080 8
cybergabi @cybergabi.bsky.social · 23/06/2025Good setup for a pyjama party. For sleeping? Not so much. 0150 15
Jackie @jackielt.bsky.social · 23/06/2025I booked a PI room in London. It was so small I could barely open the door and I'd booked a "larger" room, so I complained. The receptionist asked if I could walk around the bed. I said I could, just. She said that was a "larger" room! 010 1
Frances McGonigle @franmcgon.bsky.social · 23/06/2025“There were 3 in the bed, and the little one said - roll over” Now I’ve got an ear-worm. Will henceforth avoid Premier Inn- that’s disgraceful😡 040 4
Mrs. G @janbellina.bsky.social · 23/06/2025If any one of your party had even minor mobility issues, that room would have been a nightmare. 040 4
trevor-baker.bsky.social @trevor-baker.bsky.social · 23/06/2025They have a "good night's sleep" guarantee. Seems like you'd have a claim! www.premierinn.com/gb/en/sleep/...premierinn.com 100 1

C.P.K. Fagan @oddmaninsg.bsky.social · 23/06/2025Guess I'm a distinct minority here, as someone who travels for work a lot--never expect the model to be accurate + need more than two beds I book two rooms; said not to ask for particulars but when I'm rushed or stranded (been stranded in Chile, China, Alaska, Bhutan, etc.) I'm happy for any room! 010 1

Andrew @andrewgowen.bsky.social · 23/06/2025Also watch out for ‘special offers’ and ‘discounts’ that will change your visit date without warning. They don’t offer refunds on these offers. A friend got burned with this sharp practice. 020 2
Ross @rossmparry.bsky.social · 23/06/2025'Room size can vary based on the hotel and the number of guests' is wild. Guys seriously the room isn't smaller, it's just that there are more of you in it. Honest. 050 5
Sky Bloo 🏴 @sky-bloo.bsky.social · 23/06/2025My experience of Premier Inn does not match yours. You should not use your public profile to trash the reputation of a business on the basis of a single "last minute" booking. If you had a family member who was a wheelchair user, you would know that Premier Inn is among the best for accessibility. 100 1
Horrified, Lydia @lfillingham.bsky.social · 23/06/2025I think you got 2 1/2 beds not 3. That's terrible, and I hope you are emotionally close to the people in the other beds, because you don't have room not to be. 190 9
Adam Wisent @adamwisent.bsky.social · 23/06/2025On your salary #GeorgeMonbiot how come you didn't stay at the #Marriott ? Next time you're having a #threesome book wisely lol 😆 000 0
Dr Linda McIver @lindamciver.adsei.org · 23/06/2025Wow. that's atrocious. Royal Hotel in Cardiff has a much better 3 bed setup, for future reference. Nice people, too! 040 4
paws101 [Paul 🇦🇺 🦘For Ukraine 🇺🇦] @paws101.bsky.social · 23/06/2025They should have put the single mattress in the bathroom! At least you would have some leg room! 020 2
Urgo, confused and needing cake... @urgocakelord.bsky.social · 23/06/2025😬Ew. "Dear Premier Inn, I was trying to book a night's accommodation for family/friends who know each other well enough to share a room, not bodily fluids. Should I ever wish to facilitate a bargain-basement orgy, you will be top on my list..." 0110 11

John @john234.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy · 23/06/2025@georgemonbiot.bsky.social Premium Inn refunds 100% if you didn't sleep well. Maybe use that angle. 220 2

Robin Campbell @robincognito.bsky.social · 23/06/2025They offer a Good Night Guarantee. I'm assuming you did not have one so you should get a full refund 070 7

Bryan @obsessive-emulsive.bsky.social · 23/06/2025Sure it wasn’t a Premier Lodge because that single bed has been lodged right in. Don’t worry, i’ll let myself out 000 0
doned2 @doned2.bsky.social · 23/06/2025Hah! At Travelodge in Durham a number of years ago as I checked in alone, the receptionist asked if I wanted company for the night. I declined politely, rather shocked at her bluntness. I was on my way to a religious retreat at Throssel Abbey. At least the room was a decent size. 120 2
Loki @jacob-marlowe.bsky.social · 23/06/2025I used them once. Never again. Arrived in torrential rain 20 minutes before book-in time. They told me early book in was £10 extra. "Is the room ready?" "Yes." "But it'll cost me an extra £10 to go up there?" "Yes." So I sat in my car in the pouring rain for 20 minutes. 050 5
Sue Walker @suewalker121.bsky.social · 23/06/2025At least there were three beds. I once booked a hotel room for 3 adults, and what we got was one double bed and one camp bed. Though we could stand between the two beds, just. FYI it wasn't Premier Inn. 000 0

Ruth Walker-Cotton @ruthwalker-cotton.bsky.social · 24/07/2025Just awful… However, you are lucky there was no one already in your room! That has happened to us on two occasions- yet Premier Inn does not consider this lack of security comes under their good night sleep guarantee so will not issue full refunds… we have always used them, but no more.. 000 0

Ole Vedel Villumsen @olevv.bsky.social · 23/06/2025I ordered the same and got a room with 2 beds in it. It took a long and not too pleasant discussion, and they finally agreed to set up an one more bed in the room. 010 1

C4Darkmane @c4darkmane.bsky.social · 23/06/2025Fine if it's for swingers, but for the common person, you want to be able to get out of your own bed and stand up with ease. No rolling onto the neighbouring bed, or having to shimmy to the end to get off. Bad form, Premier Inn Cardiff. Best of luck on ur next hotel experience sir. 0160 16
