About Premier Inn Penrith
Common Garden Square sits at the edge of Penrith's town centre, within easy reach of Ullswater and the wider fells of the Lake District, making Premier Inn Penrith a practical base for exploring both the town and the countryside beyond it. The hotel has 60 rooms, each with an en-suite bathroom and air conditioning, though a few guests have found the cooling system inconsistent in warmer weather. Rooms are straightforward and comfortable, with accessible options available and a lift serving all three floors.
There's a restaurant and bar on site, along with a breakfast service that guests consistently describe as generous and varied. Staff are noted for being friendly and helpful, and the 24-hour reception means arrivals and queries are covered at any time. On-site parking is available for a charge, with additional space by the nearby supermarket, and drivers are asked to register their vehicle at reception.
Beyond the hotel, the surrounding area offers golf and fishing nearby, along with pubs, restaurants and entertainment within easy reach for evenings out. The central location and ample parking make it a convenient stopping point for those heading further into the Lake District or spending time around Ullswater itself.
What guests say
Very comfortable and clean rooms and nice staff. However the price seems overly high for the type of accommodation and the Ryan Air style “upgrades” are tacky. Such as throttling the internet access to the point it’s unusable pushing people to pay for an “internet upgrade”.

Tired, basic hotel provision for an inflated rate: takes the piss when only one towel for 2-people provided (standard procedure apparently = 🤦🏼♀️They're too thin to be shared, was wet through after partner used it) breakfast not included, fixed shower head for men 7ft tall & heating/cooling system that hummed throughout the night like a small aircraft about to take off... Neither cheap (£130, Thursday in June) nor cheerful bar the wonderful, enthusiastic lady, Alison, who welcomed us to the 'self-check-in' screen & fetched another towel for me (thank you!) Mixed clientele.

Was a good location in the town center room was spacious and clean... staff polite friendly and responsive to my requests the sign in computer is easy to use (once you know how) Alexa was prompt and professional... the food was very good for the price as was 21 pounds for a two course in the evening and included the buffett breakfast in the morning which was fresh and tasty every thing I had I enjoyed (i thought peas would have been a nice accompanyment to the fish and chips though) i enjoyed my stay here and would certainly come back here if im in the area again... good service all round... Designated smoking area was handy for me

The lady who checked me in today was so lovely. I had a migraine and felt very ill and she went out of her way to look after me. Her and all of her colleagues were super sweet, making sure I had everything I needed. I really really appreciated their kindness. They didn’t have to be so kind, but I’m very happy they were when I felt so ill. Thankyou ladies, Premier Inn are very lucky to have such wonderful staff. ♥️♥️♥️
