Planning your next holiday, business trip or staycation? Choosing the right hotel can make all the difference to your experience. From finding the best deals to ensuring your health and safety, here are five essential tips to keep in mind when booking your stay.
You’ve spent hours researching hotels online, comparing destinations, room types and rates. Now it’s time to make the booking.
While comparison sites and travel agencies are great for research, booking directly with the hotel often comes with added benefits.
You might secure exclusive discounts, complimentary perks, or more flexible cancellation terms when you cut out the middleman.
Even the best-laid plans can change, so it’s important to understand the cancellation policy before confirming you're booking. Policies vary between hotel brands, rates and booking platforms, so read the details carefully.
Look for flexible rates that allow changes or cancellations without hefty penalties. At Premier Inn, our Flex Rate gives you peace of mind, you can cancel up until 1.00 pm on the day of arrival, making last-minute adjustments stress-free.
If you’re planning an extended stay, look for hotels that offer special long-stay packages. Many hotels, including Premier Inn, provide competitive rates for stays of 30 nights or more.
You’ll enjoy the convenience of no long-term contracts or surprise bills, along with discounts on services like laundry and dining.
Plus, with amenities like free Wi-Fi, you’ll feel right at home while staying connected.
Need a place to stay on short notice? Last-minute deals can help you snag great rates. Booking online will often get you better prices than walking into a hotel unannounced.
However, during peak travel seasons, availability at your preferred location might be limited—so consider exploring lesser-known options for hidden gems.
Travelling during a busy season? Early booking ensures you secure your ideal hotel and room type. It’s also a great way to lock in the best rate and avoid missing out on popular destinations.
At Premier Inn, we make it easy to find comfort, convenience and value—whether you’re travelling for business or leisure.
