Premier Inn Falkirk (Larbert)

I travelled with my daughter for an appointment in Larbert, Scotland. The building was large, nothing special, and the room was basic. However, the staff are friendly and helpful. I would stay again, but I suggest given the prices charged, an upgrade is needed.

Firstly, I have to say the breakfast at the inn was excellent, friendly staff, great selection to eat, lovely dining area and everything was spotless, the cutlery was shining, it was that good! 5 star for that! The staff throughout the inn were all friendly, helpful and polite. The 3 marks, is the room, but to be honest the quality at all Premier inns over the last few years have declined terribly. They used to be so much better and nicer than a Travel lodge, but small details like a toilet paper dispensers rather than rolls, just isn’t nice. This room lacked seating, where they could’ve had space, there was one badly stained chair to sit on, otherwise you had a bed with only one pillow each, so not comfy to sit on, but if you’re spending days there (as we had planned for hospital visits) it wasn’t an area you could sit down and relax. I don’t understand why there couldn’t be a dining table, chairs and a comfy seat, there was room, even put it at the window if the sloping roof was the issue. The bathroom walls had mould, the bathroom floor was terribly uneven, warped and collected water in the sunken hole. The shower head wasn’t nice n clean and the overall appearance was very tired, and I prefer toilet roll; not dispensers. The supplied soaps were very good. Premier Inn, (not directed at any location in particular, just them as a whole) you need to drop the Premier or do better! Thank you to the staff at Larbert, you were all so lovely and helpful, the breakfast area and breakfast was superb!

This Premier Inn has a large free car park, but the building itself looks very uninspiring from the outside and I was initially rather apprehensive about going in. When we went in, we were greeted very pleasantly by the receptionist and found our room to be very clean, warm and with a window that opened. Bathroom was adequate, with plenty of hot water. We were there for two nights and it would have been more comfortable if an easy chair had been provided. As it was, the only seating was a desk chair and the bed. There was plenty of room for more furniture. Two nights accommodation cost just over £100, plus an extra £10.00 for two days premium WiFi, which worked well. I wouldn't recommend the breakfast. We paid over £9.00 each for a Continental breakfast (hot breakfast is £1 more). Our breakfast was not worth what we paid. There was very little choice, no fresh fruit, limited choice of fruit juices and a couple of tired pastries. White bread was available for us to toast, but no brown or granary bread. We had this breakfast on the first morning, but on the second morning we found a local cafe online and had a very nice hot breakfast with coffee that cost several pounds less. This hotel is good value for sleeping, but don't eat there.
