Premier Inn Halifax South Hotel

Fantastic location, right next to the canal...perfect for an evening walk. There are also canal view rooms with your own front door with parking immediately outside. Without doubt the best Premier Inn we have ever stayed in. We'll be back very soon.

The hotel is in a nice location right by the canal so it's easy to go for a pleasant stroll. The receptionist was great, he obviously enjoyed his job and wanted to make you feel welcome. We had an unusual motel style rooms on the bottom floor so we could park outside the door - easy to unload cases. The clean bedroom was typical Premier Inn but it was slightly smaller than usual, there was only 1 chair and no table (only a very small desk which was covered in tea making stuff and menus so there was little space). There was hanging space for clothes but, bizarrely, nowhere to put 'flat' clothing so we had to use our case. The large TV was very clear with a good signal but the wi-fi was really slow and kept dropping out, I ended up using my mobile as a hot spot instead. The bathroom had a great walk in shower (thank heavens, I hate clambering over the side of a bath) and it was hot with great pressure. Breakfast was at Brewers Fayre next door and was cooked to order so it was hot and fresh - very good. There was also the usual choice of continental items on offer and good coffee from a machine. We also had an evening meal in the Brewers Fayre which was surprisingly good although the place itself was a bit soulless. I'd stay again when visiting Halifax.

We loved how we could park right outside our room door (ground floor with external door) instead of having to carry luggage to our room. The room itself was very clean and warm - had a really good night's sleep and the view was worth paying £10 extra for - it would be even better in the summer - staff were kind and welcoming - all in all thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Thanks to a great team of people always very helpful but exceptional this trip A bit snowed in this morning and the team pulled together to get us back on the road.. Thanks See you all soon but we will wait till spring Thanks from Sharon & Rick Green x

After all the great reviews, and staying in a newly-decorated Premier Plus on our last visit away, we were a little disappointed by this hotel. The positives include a very friendly and helpful lady on reception, who sorted out an early check in - though in retrospect, we could have saved the 25% increase of £10 by leaving our belongings in the car, as we went straight out for the day. The location was nice and quiet, and there was plenty of parking. The bed was comfortable, and all linen clean. Phoning a taxi from reception was easy and effective. The room however, was very tired. There was no comfy place to sit (as shown in the gallery photos for this hotel, just a rather useless upright fan - strange for this time of year). There were stains on the nets and curtains, several dead spiders in ceiling corners, and unearthly stains on the desk chair. There was also a horrible smell of drains from the bathroom, which abated after using the shower at night, but had returned by morning. These details were fed back at check-out, and we got an apology… Sadly, the breakfast at the Brewers Fayre was not the usual hot buffet choice, and “unlimited” isn’t quite the same if you have to order it in advance. And so, we declined eating the breakfast that we had booked, and left several hours before the allocated check out time. In retrospect, and having highlighted our grievances about the room, we would have expected the £10 early check in to have been reimbursed. We sadly wouldn’t return here if in the area again.

Very unique hotel as they have rooms on the ground floor that has their own car park. We really liked staying in Room 16, right next to the canal. They also have a very friendly and helpful staff, we got checked in by a lass with purple hair and the next day we got greeted by a lovely Lithuanian lady who seemed to be the manager. All in all, will come back here
