My first visit to Pepe’s was nothing short of disgraceful. From the moment I walked in, I felt judged, disrespected, and completely unwelcome. The man at the counter stared at me suspiciously, which immediately made me feel uncomfortable.
I clearly told the woman at the till that I wanted to sit in, yet my food was shoved into takeaway bags without any cutlery. I had to ask for forks, and even then, I was met with a rude attitude and zero professionalism. When I asked for a box to put my chips in, I was spoken to as if I was being difficult — I had to explain myself more than once just to be understood.
The overall behaviour from staff was appalling. Workers in the back were laughing and glancing at me and my friend for no reason at all — it felt humiliating. The woman at the till even laughed in my face when I politely asked for a fork. I’ve never been treated with such disrespect at any food establishment.
This experience was beyond disappointing — it was outright insulting. For a first-time customer, this was a shocking display of poor service, unprofessional conduct, and a complete lack of basic respect. I won’t be returning, and I strongly advise others to think twice before spending their money here.
Un lugar encantador, pero opciones limitadas en el menú. Disfrutamos de unos entrantes y un plato de queso compartido. Lamentablemente el personal no era desagradable, no de una manera grosera, simplemente no se comprometía o se molestó. Perdieron al menos 8 invitados al no intentar que se sentaran o hablaran a través del menú. Una verdadera pena ya que la comida era sabrosa y ofrecía una buena relación calidad-precio.
El baño de abajo se comparte con el restaurante de al lado, lo que significa que algunas personas, de al lado, se confundieron con qué lugar había. Bastante divertido de ver.
En mi opinión, el restaurante podría haber estado más lleno si el personal hubiera interactuado con la gente que entra. Una verdadera pena ya que el servicio era bueno una vez que el personal hizo un esfuerzo.
Hi Team,
I was very skeptical initially booking a Premier inn based on reviews I had read but to my surprise the room was nice and clean and spacious. The experience took a nose dive as we have just now returned back to an unclean room. The room was not cleaned even though I reached out to reception this morning notifying them that we are heading out and requested for a clean up. Same situation with the other room we have booked, it was left unclean even when there was a clear sign on the room.
The cleaning staff is not available anymore and we can’t call guest relation team as the lines are closed at 5 pm. Had a bad experience with breakfast as well, as they ran out of hashbrowns 9 am in morning. As a vegetarian I was already struggling with limited options and this didn’t help. Definitely not booking a premier inn next time.
A little mixed on the catering offered. The egg/avocado/sriracha bagel didn't really have any taste, it was disappointing. The setting is nice though, right next to the Palais Royal.
