Who Needs a Premier Inn When You Have a Wetherspoons to Bed Down In?
When it comes to budget-friendly accommodation options, Premier Inn has long been a go-to for travelers looking for a comfortable and affordable stay. But what if I told you that there’s another option that offers the same price point, but with a unique twist? That’s right, I’m talking about the beloved British pub chain, Wetherspoons.
As a regular reader of the Daily Mail’s Hotel Inspector column, I was intrigued when I heard that the team had gone undercover to review the Wetherspoons “hotel” experience. And let me tell you, I was not disappointed.
For those unfamiliar with Wetherspoons, it is a popular pub chain known for its affordable food and drinks. But what many people may not know is that some of their locations also offer budget-friendly accommodation. And as the Hotel Inspector found out, it’s a hidden gem that many travelers are missing out on.
The first thing that struck the inspector was the unbeatable price. For the same price as a Premier Inn room, she was able to book a room at the Wetherspoons hotel located just above the pub. And let me tell you, that’s not something you see every day.
But what about the quality of the room? Well, the inspector was pleasantly surprised. The room was clean, comfortable, and had all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. From a cozy bed to a fully equipped bathroom, the room had everything one could need.
But what sets the Wetherspoons hotel apart from other budget options is the unique experience it offers. As the inspector noted, you can literally “bed down” in the pub. And I have to say, it’s a fun and quirky experience that adds a touch of excitement to your stay.
The inspector also noted the convenience of having the pub just downstairs. After a long day of exploring, she was able to head downstairs for a hearty meal and a cold pint without having to venture far from her room. And with Wetherspoons’ famous affordable pricing, she was able to enjoy a delicious meal without breaking the bank.
But what about noise? I know what you’re thinking, how can one possibly get a good night’s sleep with a pub just downstairs? Well, the inspector found that the rooms were surprisingly quiet. The pub operates within reasonable hours and the room was equipped with double glazing, providing a peaceful and uninterrupted night’s sleep.
The Wetherspoons hotel experience doesn’t just stop at the room and pub, though. As the inspector discovered, many locations also offer a full English breakfast for a small additional fee. And let me tell you, it’s a breakfast fit for a king. From crispy bacon to perfectly cooked eggs, the inspector was thoroughly impressed with the quality and value of the breakfast.
But it’s not just about the room and food, it’s about the overall experience. And the Wetherspoons hotel definitely delivers on that front. With its quirky and unique concept, affordable prices, and convenient location, it’s a budget option that truly stands out.
As a regular traveler, I can say that finding affordable and comfortable accommodation can be a challenge. But with the Wetherspoons hotel option, I have found a new favorite. It’s a refreshing change from the standard budget hotel chain and offers a unique experience that you won’t find anywhere else.
So who needs a Premier Inn when you have a Wetherspoons to bed down in? The Daily Mail’s Hotel Inspector certainly doesn’t think so. And after reading her review, I have to agree. So the next time you’re planning a trip, consider booking a room at a Wetherspoons hotel and experience the best of both worlds – a comfortable room and a lively pub atmosphere. Cheers to that!
