We had a Premier room and it was very comfortable. The TV was a bit temperamental, there was a long delay between pressing a button and anything happening, so you pressed the button again. The toilet had no toilet brush which I think is essential. The staff were very friendly and the breakfast was good.
Rooms: Premier room has a fridge and coffee machine
Nearby activities: Plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby
Walkability: Dorchester South Station is just outside the hotel. Dorchester town centre is nearby.

Beds are lovely as always which is the main thing.
Would be nice if the lifts work correctly as it took a while to get to our room.
Disappointed that the kitchen was closed as planned to have our evening meal there.
Rooms: Nice quiet place to finish the day
Food and drinks: Don't know as this option was not available

Rooms have been downgraded to make you pay more for what you used to get for the same price

Nearby activities: In Brewery Square, lots to do.
Safety: Good
Walkability: Very good
Food and drinks: Breakfast choices good. Restaurant not open for evening meal?

My family came down for a short break and found the rooms etc acceptable although the lifts were unreliable and more than once they had to seek assistance.
I joined them one evening for what was an awful meal. The food was terribly over cooked and luke warm. We sent one dish back but the replacement was also cold and burnt. From the attitude of staff this was not unusual. There were multiple items missing from the menu so left with few options. The wine selection was limited and overall it was a poor experience. Very disappointing.
Safety: Broken lift, floor in toilet like an ice rink after mopping but no warning sign.
Food and drinks: Very poor food. Very limited range of wine and sizes of bottles.

I recently stayed at the Premier Inn in Dorchester and had a pleasant experience overall. The hotel is centrally located, making it easy to explore the nearby shops and restaurants.
However, finding the parking area was a bit tricky. It's located just as you turn into the hotel area on your left, so make sure not to head back onto the main road as I did?some clearer instructions would be helpful.
The room I stayed in was a Premier room, which was exceptionally clean and had a very comfortable bed. I appreciated the good quality coffee machine with pods and the thoughtful touch of two complementary chocolates.
The continental breakfast was nice, offering a good variety to start the day.
Overall, a comfortable and conveniently located hotel, perfect for a short stay in Dorchester.

Premier inn - room up to the usual standard. Clean and basic. Not impressed with the on site parking hence 4 stars. My advice is to use one of the car parks nearby as there's less faff.

Unfortunately this Premier Inn has spoiled my thoughts of the company after so many greats stays in other hotels in the chain
I have complained directly to the company.

I?ve spent 45mins trying to book 3 nights for myself Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Check out Friday. This is for one person. I?ve checked and checked my entries. I?m offered a room for £71 each night. Then the screen shows two persons at the 3 nights don?t cost 3x£71 £213 the charge is variable but more..
it?s now an hour spent trying to book.
Do you have similar problems? CH
Booking continued to be challenging and the cost per room far above the taster prices first shown.
I thought it was far too costly for the service and quality. It is not a quality hotel. 3 star at most. CH

Excellent but the only recurring problem is restaurant Evening opening hours again not available on this visit.
Walkability: Very central.
