Room 323 has a very uncomfortable bed (also very high - sitting on the edge my feet didn't touch the ground) and a faulty air conditioning fan. The lowest setting is 19c. Kept turning off in the middle of the night and was incredibly noisy. Bathroom had seen better days and was a bit grimey. Broken bits. Couldn't open the window for fresh air, but it had a great unobstructed view of the beach which was it's only plus point. No fridge or safe in the room. Given that the fan doesn't go any cooler than 19c, you can open the window for air, and there was no fridge, our stay was very sticky and uncomfortable (31 Aug to 3 Sept). I am a perimenopausal woman with hot flashes, I didn't want to go another night without air conditioning or fresh air, so we checked out a day earlier than planned. Shame. Kind of put a downer on our weekend as we didn't want to stay the full duration we booked, and couldn't wait to go home. Also it's right at the very end of the seafront opposite some industrial areas so if you're walking into town, it's going to be at least 30mins on foot there, and another 30mins back. Has free on-site parking.

There are many things the Premier Inn, Great Yarmouth does brilliantly. The bed was comfortable, the breakfast was great (even catering to my Coeliac, vegetarian diet), the service was brilliant, I had a room over looking the sea and, disability access is superb however, the air con is terrible and the room was so warm I couldn't sleep properly. They may as well pay a homeless man to sit in the distant corner of the room and blow in your general direction. I had it set at the coldest (19 degrees) and with the most powerful 'fan' speed but felt no benefit from it. A terrible night's sleep marred what would have otherwise been, a very enjoyable stay.

Let’s get the good out of the way. It was a comfy bed and clean room. Hotel staff were pleasant. The Beefeater, which hosts the only communal area of the hotel in the form of a bar and restaurant was another issue… Contrary to the times listed on the website (linked to that of the hotel), the bar closes at 10. Not last orders but they throw you out and lock the door!!! We stay here between 3 and 5 times a year for a sporting event and this has never been the case before. Travelling as a number of families including children, it is vital that we have somewhere to get together and relax at the end of the day however the rude bar staff member (only one of them, the female on Saturday was pleasant) refused to serve at the bar because he was busy doing orders for the restaurant for 20 minutes and then came the orders to “get out” at 10pm! We were served drinks at 9:55 and then received the demands to leave just 5 minutes later under threat of being barred for the remainder of our stay! It is worth mentioning that this hotel is a considerable distance from any bars, restaurants etc being located in the industrial end of the “seafront”. There was nowhere else to go. I spoke with an elderly couple who were also guests and they stated that they had spent a considerable amount of money on taxis to and from the town and had been going to bed early as they had nowhere to go. On the Friday night, the event ran late and we only arrived back at the hotel at 9pm. The restaurant was open and against our better judgement, due to the time, we decided to eat at the hotel for the second time however when the manager from the previous night told us that the restaurant was full (despite numerous empty tables and countless piled up with uncleared plates of food) we checked with hotel reception who checked and noted the entire restaurant was booked out, something they said they had never seen before. We purchased drinks while we worked out how to feed the children only to see a family enter, request a table and after some tapping on the screen by the manager they were seated. It appeared that the bookings had been manipulated to not allow us to book a table. We were left with no option other than a takeaway pizza delivery outside. “The Beefeater is not part of the hotel” excuse doesn’t wash. They are colocated on every one of their sites and owned by the same company. The websites (including the bar opening times) are linked and the profit goes to the same place. We are part of a group who spends in the region of £10,000 a year in this hotel group however we have been seriously let down by the very poor management of this hotel and associated restaurant.

I stayed in a Plus room. Very nice room, and a view straight out over the beach and sea! The windows didn't open, which would be the only downside, as listening to the sea whilst falling asleep would have been perfect. That said, the room had excellent air-conditioning, which more than made up for a fixed window. Breakfast the next morning was superb, I've yet to have a Premier Inn breakfast that's anything less, they do a fantastic full English! To top it all off, whilst having breakfast, I had a magnificent view across the beach to the sea. Staff were all lovely, polite and friendly. I work in this area once a year, but I'll 110% stay at this hotel again next year.

It's right on the seafront, lots of parking, usual high room standards, clean, well maintained etc. My only problem was being rudely awoken by the heard of bison having line dancing lessons at 6am in the room above, but then it was an eat as much as you like breakfast in the Beefeater so it was possibly the highlight of their holiday. You might think the receptionist would see them trying to squeeze through the door to the lobby and quietly change them to a ground floor room to keep the building balanced. I would comment on the great view, but since I was given a room facing an industrial estate even though the place was very empty, I can't really say I remembered it for the right reasons, but I'm sure the view of the North Sea on the other side is nicer to wake up too. Staff were nice and friendly, much better than the sour faced banshee that evening in the Beefeater who blatantly ignores customers waiting for service at the bar (for orange juice). I can't recommend this Premier Inn enough.

First time staying at this hotel . The room was good typical of premier inn , with the exception of a hair on the toilet. The thing that annoyed me most was the air conditioning, it was very hot in the room , I woke in the night to turn the air on up but it didn’t seem to be working . Next morning I was told by reception that they turn it off to save money . I had a bad nights sleep because of this but they was not too bothered by that . The Beefeater was a disappointment very basic steak for the cost . Breakfast was chaotic , although the 4 staff were doing their best . Very noisy restaurant. Breakfast food was good .

1st unlike other Premier Inn Ive stayed in the hotel had control of the AC controls. (HEAT/COOL) the room was either TOO hot or TOO cold. 2nd the room had a LOT of cracked plaster work and in Bathroom the 1st night the shower curtain came off the ceiling. 3rd Why does Premier Inn advertise early check in ? I stayed in 2 in a week both didnt offer this .

Really good beach side location. Our room (family with a travel cot) was clean and comfortable. Sadly did not overlook the beach but you cant mark down for this. Great bonus that they can provide a travel cot if your travelling with a baby like us. Used check in service thus 4 stars. However did have to phone beforehand to check something thus getting a extra star. Nice that it backs onto a sandy beach if your coming with a family. And the meal deal for beefeater is handy.

Rooms are nice and clean, though service is sub-par with below average desire for assistance, personnel mostly absent from reception, unclear rules & conditions. Beware of check-in/check-out times to avoid finding your belongings in storage spaces around the hotel...

As you'd expect from a Premier Inn. Clean room, friendly service. Room had a great sea view. Bit of a walk to town but regular bus from just over the road.

Stayed in the Premier plus rooms on the top floor. Just a fantastic quiet room. Great views of the sea and the seafront amenities. Checked in using the self service system which was super easy. Only drawback was the lack of WiFi at the time. Car parking wasn't an issue but be sure to park to the right of the hotel and NOT in front as this is a paid for carpark. Easy to get anywhere from here and will definitely use again when I am back in the area.

We were very fortunate in obtaining a room upon the seaward side of the hotel. Also being upon the third floor we were able to witness some wonderful sunrises and watch passing shipping. There is nothing more than a footpath separating the hotel from lovely sand dunes. We were pleasantly surprised that the hotel's basic wi-fi worked fine throughout our stay (we have had bad experiences with this recently at other Premier Inns). The staff are welcoming, friendly and courteous. We had a great time!
