4. Room prices

Premier Inn adopts dynamic pricing and the price of our rooms fluctuates based on demand. When you make a reservation request, we'll give you a total price for the rooms and number of nights you've requested. The price you pay is the price quoted to you at the time you make your reservation.

Room prices are per room, per night and are inclusive of VAT at the applicable rate at the time of your reservation. If the rate of VAT changes between the date of your reservation and the date of your stay, we may adjust the rate of VAT but the price you pay will remain the same. Up to two kids (under 16) stay for free with one full paying adult in our Family rooms.

Meals and other extras are not included in the room price but you may be able to add them to your reservation during the booking process or they may be available to you during your stay. You may pay for breakfast and selected extras at the same time as paying for your room. For every accompanying adult paying for breakfast or a Meal Deal, up to two children under the age of 16 can eat breakfast for free. If you have breakfast and selected extras as part of your reservation and the rate of VAT changes between the date of your reservation and the date of your stay, we may adjust the rate of VAT, but the price you pay will remain the same. All other meals and extras must be paid for separately.

Flex:
 If you book a Flex rate you may choose whether to pay for your room in full at the time of booking or to pay on arrival. Please see section 10 Cancellation for full rate restrictions. 

Semi-Flex:
 Semi-Flex is a restricted rate that may be offered at selected hotels subject to availability. Payment in full is required for all Semi-Flex bookings at the time of booking. Please see section 10 Cancellation for full rate restrictions. 

Advance:
 Advance is a more restricted rate that may be offered at selected hotels subject to availability. Payment in full is required for all Advance bookings at the time of booking. Please see section 10 Cancellation for full rate restrictions.

Standard:
 Standard is a more restricted rate that may be offered at selected hotels subject to availability. Payment in full is required for all Standard bookings at the time of booking. Please see section 10 Cancellation for full rate restrictions.

Non-Flex:
 Non-Flex is the most restricted rate that may be offered at selected hotels subject to availability.  Payment in full is required for all Non-Flex bookings at the time of booking. Please see section 10 Cancellation for full rate restrictions.

You must not exceed the maximum occupancy for the room allocated to you. We reserve the right to conduct checks on occupancy and compliance with these terms. Occupancy is not transferable (e.g. amending guest names once the booking is checked-in).

Those under 18 years old are not permitted to stay in a Premier Inn hotel unless a parent or guardian is also staying in the hotel.

You may add breakfast and/or a meal deal (where available) when you make your reservation, this is an optional extra which is separate to the room reservation. From time to time, Premier Inn may run promotions which include serving breakfasts, meals or other extras to guests at no additional cost. Where applicable, the room price you pay in making a reservation will be inclusive of these costs. Such promotions may have other terms and conditions applied, so please ensure you read these in full before making use of such benefits.

The 'Kids eat free' breakfast offer is for one breakfast per child in the hotel restaurant. The offer does not apply to the breakfast box (where offered). Up to two kids under 16 eat breakfast for free per adult who purchases a Premier Inn Breakfast or Meal Deal.

The Meal Deal is available for adults only and includes a two-course dinner and a drink from the Meal Deal menu and a Premier Inn Breakfast for the advertised price per person.

In some hotel locations, breakfasts and/or dinner and/or meal deals are provided by a third party operator of the adjacent restaurant.

Where breakfast and/or meal deals and/or dinner become unavailable (for example due to closure of the kitchen, adjacent restaurant etc.) you will be refunded the price you paid for food and beverages, regardless as to whether you paid at the time of booking or later, and such refund shall be your sole remedy.

Events outside our control

We may also cancel your reservation if an event outside of our control (including industrial action, explosion, outbreak of disease, health and safety issues, fire, flooding, and failure of power and/or water supplies or emergency evacuation) means that we are unable to make your room available to you.

12. Good Night Guarantee

You may claim a refund of your room charge for each night that you do not have a great night's sleep at a Premier Inn subject to the following:

Process for making a claim

When you encounter the issue which has affected your great night’s sleep, you must first raise the issue with the reception team who can help address the issue. To the extent they can’t address the issue, a claim must be made within 7 days of the end of the stay to which your claim relates.

To make a claim you must raise your complaint with the team at the hotel when you encounter the issue who will advise you of the process. If your room was booked as part of a group booking, the person who made the booking on behalf of the group must make the claim. If your room was booked through a tour operator, you must make your claim to the tour operator.

You will need to provide details of the Premier Inn hotel in which you stayed, the dates of your stay, the nights for which you wish to claim a refund and the reason(s) why you did not have a great night's sleep on each of those nights.

Refunds will be made to the debit/credit card you used when you paid for your room and are usually processed within 14 days. You will be asked to confirm receipt of your refund.


Exclusions 
 

  1. Our Good Night Guarantee does not apply where you do not have a great night's sleep due to (i) circumstances arising from the lack of a facility at a hotel where that facility was not included in the facility set of the hotel displayed or communicated to you when you made your booking (for example, due to hot weather and a lack of air conditioning, you did not have a great night’s sleep, but air conditioning was not listed as a facility at that hotel in the booking process – so please carefully check the facilities at your hotel when booking); or (ii) circumstances that are beyond our reasonable control as hoteliers such as extreme weather conditions, fire, fire alarms, flood, lightning, earthquake, explosion, terrorism, war, civil disorder, epidemics, embargoes, labour disputes power cuts, third party building works, internal hotel noise (which you have not reported and provided us with a reasonable period to rectify and it was safe for you to report it), and/or external noise arising due to the location of the hotel including but not limited to airport noise (for airport hotels).

  2. Our Good Night Guarantee does not apply to any food and beverage issues you encounter.

  3. Our Good Night Guarantee does not apply to issues you encounter with (i) restricted service provision due to COVID-19 measures (for example reduced check in and house keeping services) and/or (ii) the implementation and/or enforcement by us of other COVID-19 measures whether that be measures specifically required by Government or additional measures implemented by us. 

  4. You may not claim under our Good Night Guarantee if you have breached the terms and conditions applying to your booking, for example by causing damage to our or to other guest’s property or by being abusive to our staff or to other guests during your stay or during your contact with Whitbread.

  5. We reserve the right to reject claims made by individuals who are abusing the Good Night Guarantee by making excessive claims, or make a claim in bad faith/dishonestly. If an individual or any of the guests within their booking claims a refund for more than 50% of their stay on more than two occasions in any 12 month period, such claims will be deemed excessive save where we are satisfied (in our sole discretion) that there is a good reason for the claims.

Please note that the Good Night Guarantee only applies to Premier Inn hotels and does not apply to stays at hub by Premier Inn.

Where available, this extra can be added online during the booking process, or on arrival with the reception team at the hotel. If added, early check in will entitle the guest to check into their room from 11am; cancellation will not be available after this time.

If you think you’re likely to arrive after 11pm, please let your Premier Inn hotel know in advance.

Guests will be asked to provide proof of identity and nationality upon check-in.

Acceptable forms of identification are: a passport, driving licence, ID card or police warrant card.

Bookings made on behalf of a guest can be checked in by either the original booker or the named lead guest, providing payment has been made in full. If the booking has not been pre-paid, the guest will need to pay for their stay during the online check-in process.

4. Room prices

Premier Inn adopts dynamic pricing and the price of our rooms fluctuates based on demand. When you make a reservation request, we'll give you a total price for the rooms and number of nights you've requested. The price you pay is the price quoted to you at the time you make your reservation.

Room prices are per room, per night and are inclusive of VAT at the applicable rate at the time of your reservation. If the rate of VAT changes between the date of your reservation and the date of your stay, we may adjust the rate of VAT but the price you pay will remain the same. Up to two kids (under 16) stay for free with one full paying adult in our Family rooms.

Meals and other extras are not included in the room price but you may be able to add them to your reservation during the booking process or they may be available to you during your stay. You may pay for breakfast and selected extras at the same time as paying for your room. For every accompanying adult paying for breakfast or a Meal Deal, up to two children under the age of 16 can eat breakfast for free. If you have breakfast and selected extras as part of your reservation and the rate of VAT changes between the date of your reservation and the date of your stay, we may adjust the rate of VAT, but the price you pay will remain the same. All other meals and extras must be paid for separately.

Flex:
 If you book a Flex rate you may choose whether to pay for your room in full at the time of booking or to pay on arrival. Please see section 10 Cancellation for full rate restrictions. 

Semi-Flex:
 Semi-Flex is a restricted rate that may be offered at selected hotels subject to availability. Payment in full is required for all Semi-Flex bookings at the time of booking. Please see section 10 Cancellation for full rate restrictions. 

Advance:
 Advance is a more restricted rate that may be offered at selected hotels subject to availability. Payment in full is required for all Advance bookings at the time of booking. Please see section 10 Cancellation for full rate restrictions.

Standard:
 Standard is a more restricted rate that may be offered at selected hotels subject to availability. Payment in full is required for all Standard bookings at the time of booking. Please see section 10 Cancellation for full rate restrictions.

Non-Flex:
 Non-Flex is the most restricted rate that may be offered at selected hotels subject to availability.  Payment in full is required for all Non-Flex bookings at the time of booking. Please see section 10 Cancellation for full rate restrictions.

You must not exceed the maximum occupancy for the room allocated to you. We reserve the right to conduct checks on occupancy and compliance with these terms. Occupancy is not transferable (e.g. amending guest names once the booking is checked-in).

Where applicable, the room price you pay in making a reservation will be inclusive of these costs. Such promotions may have other terms and conditions applied, so please ensure you read these in full before making use of such benefits.

The 'Kids eat free' breakfast offer is for one breakfast per child in the hotel restaurant. The offer does not apply to the breakfast box (where offered). Up to two kids under 16 eat breakfast for free per adult who purchases a Premier Inn Breakfast or Meal Deal.

Where breakfast and/or meal deals and/or dinner become unavailable (for example due to closure of the kitchen, adjacent restaurant etc.) you will be refunded the price you paid for food and beverages, regardless as to whether you paid at the time of booking or later, and such refund shall be your sole remedy.

12. Good Night Guarantee

You may claim a refund of your room charge for each night that you do not have a great night's sleep at a Premier Inn subject to the following:

Process for making a claim

When you encounter the issue which has affected your great night’s sleep, you must first raise the issue with the reception team who can help address the issue. To the extent they can’t address the issue, a claim must be made within 7 days of the end of the stay to which your claim relates.

To make a claim you must raise your complaint with the team at the hotel when you encounter the issue who will advise you of the process. If your room was booked as part of a group booking, the person who made the booking on behalf of the group must make the claim. If your room was booked through a tour operator, you must make your claim to the tour operator.

You will need to provide details of the Premier Inn hotel in which you stayed, the dates of your stay, the nights for which you wish to claim a refund and the reason(s) why you did not have a great night's sleep on each of those nights.

Refunds will be made to the debit/credit card you used when you paid for your room and are usually processed within 14 days. You will be asked to confirm receipt of your refund.


Exclusions 
 

  1. Our Good Night Guarantee does not apply where you do not have a great night's sleep due to (i) circumstances arising from the lack of a facility at a hotel where that facility was not included in the facility set of the hotel displayed or communicated to you when you made your booking (for example, due to hot weather and a lack of air conditioning, you did not have a great night’s sleep, but air conditioning was not listed as a facility at that hotel in the booking process – so please carefully check the facilities at your hotel when booking); or (ii) circumstances that are beyond our reasonable control as hoteliers such as extreme weather conditions, fire, fire alarms, flood, lightning, earthquake, explosion, terrorism, war, civil disorder, epidemics, embargoes, labour disputes power cuts, third party building works, internal hotel noise (which you have not reported and provided us with a reasonable period to rectify and it was safe for you to report it), and/or external noise arising due to the location of the hotel including but not limited to airport noise (for airport hotels).

  2. Our Good Night Guarantee does not apply to any food and beverage issues you encounter.

  3. Our Good Night Guarantee does not apply to issues you encounter with (i) restricted service provision due to COVID-19 measures (for example reduced check in and house keeping services) and/or (ii) the implementation and/or enforcement by us of other COVID-19 measures whether that be measures specifically required by Government or additional measures implemented by us. 

  4. You may not claim under our Good Night Guarantee if you have breached the terms and conditions applying to your booking, for example by causing damage to our or to other guest’s property or by being abusive to our staff or to other guests during your stay or during your contact with Whitbread.

  5. We reserve the right to reject claims made by individuals who are abusing the Good Night Guarantee by making excessive claims, or make a claim in bad faith/dishonestly. If an individual or any of the guests within their booking claims a refund for more than 50% of their stay on more than two occasions in any 12 month period, such claims will be deemed excessive save where we are satisfied (in our sole discretion) that there is a good reason for the claims.

Please note that the Good Night Guarantee only applies to Premier Inn hotels and does not apply to stays at hub by Premier Inn.

Bookings made on behalf of a guest can be checked in by either the original booker or the named lead guest, providing payment has been made in full. If the booking has not been pre-paid, the guest will need to pay for their stay during the online check-in process.

We accept liability for death and personal injury arising from our negligence or that of our employees and agents. We do not seek to exclude our liability for fraudulent misrepresentation by us or our employees or agents.

 

We do not accept liability for failure to meet any of our obligations where such failure is due to events beyond our reasonable control.

 

If we breach these terms and conditions for reasons within our control we shall only be liable for losses that are direct losses and a reasonably foreseeable consequence of such breach.

Where we are liable to you (save as prohibited by applicable law) our maximum liability to you whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or for breach of statutory duty shall in no event exceed the price of your reservation unless the Hotel Proprietor's Act 1956 applies, in which case our liability will be limited to the maximum prescribed under that Act.
