Currently, there is no standard Premier Inn student discount. That means there is no Unidays code either. There is a 10% student discount at premierinnathome.com but this is just for beds, mattresses and duvets, not Premier Inn hotel rooms.

Students shouldn’t worry however as there are £35 rooms available across the UK which make them one of the cheapest hotels going. They are for certain dates but they are out there so good luck.

However, there are still lots of other ways to save at this top hotel chain. Our first tip is to check out the Premier Inn offers page which has lots of ways on how to save. Our top tip is book early as advanced bookings get up to 20% off. Also Friday and Sunday nights are cheaper than Saturdays and if you’re visiting a city then try avoiding the city centre as these tend to be more expensive.

Hotel Overview Premier Inn

Premier Inn is the UK’s largest hotel chain, with over 65,000 hotel rooms in 750 hotels spread across the UK in cities, suburbs, roadside locations and airports.

The sheer number of hotels dotted around make it ideal for your trips, be they city breaks, a respite from travel or a couple of days visiting friends and family.

Now famous for their ads featuring families holidaying and Lenny Henry, the chain continues to grow, and its size allows it to offer prices that are very much favoured by bargain hunters and Student Discount Squirrel alike.

The most northern Premier Inn can be found in Inverness, Scotland, and the most southern in Cornwall, Devon. However, the chain’s expansion into other locales means that you’ll now find Premier Inn hotels in the likes of Ireland (worth remembering for a St Patrick’s Day weekend getaway!), the United Arab Emirates, India and Germany.

All Premier Inn hotels are furnished in the same style, so you know what you’re going to get before you arrive – which can really take the hassle out of booking travel. They offer comfort and great value.

The chain boasts a ‘Good Night Sleep’s Guarantee’ as a result of their cosy ‘Hypnos’ beds that come in luxury king-size with fluffy duvets and your choice of pillows to best suit your sleeping habits. If you’ve ever woken up in a hotel with a stiff neck, back or shoulders, you’ll understand exactly what a godsend this can be! Combined with total blackout curtains (a MUST when staying in busy cities) and a ‘get to sleep’ audiobook (voiced by Lenny Henry, of course…), you’ll soon be hitting the land of nod.

All hotels also include a Premier Inn restaurant offering breakfast and evening meals.

Continental breakfast options alongside a Full English is available, and some locations are twinned with quality restaurant chains including:

  • Brewer’s Fayre
  • Table Table
  • Beefeater Grill
  • Thyme Bar + Block
  • Whitbread Inns

What’s more, you can even get some study in on the go (well, if you want to!) as, unusually for the UK, all Premier Inns offer free Wi-Fi 24/7!

If you need something a little faster to stream TV or films, you can upgrade your Wi-Fi package for just a fiver; worth doing if you’re planning a restful night in of Netflix and chill.

Premier Inn hotel rooms are priced fairly competitively already, given that they’re competing with the likes of Travelodge, Ibis and Holiday Inn. However, to get the most value from your booking, it’s always worth keeping an eye on their website for promotions and money-off Premier Inn vouchers. Towards the middle of the month (hence not payday for most, so a low rate of bookings) and around occasions and national days, the chain often holds flash sales and heavily discount their rooms in order to fill them. Bag a bargain when you can and travel totally Student Discount Squirrel style!

Full Premier Inn Breakfast From £9.99

Sure, everyone loves a croissant, but nothing sets you up for the day like a big breakfast. The Premier Inn ‘Full’ Breakfast includes the whole Continental range of daily baked pastries and bread, fruits, yoghurts and cereals, as well as unlimited drinks of coffee, tea, juices and smoothies. However, adding in the ‘Full’ option allows you unlimited hot items too; that’s bacon, sausages, Quorn sausages, hash browns, bubble and squeak, black pudding, mushrooms, tomatoes, beans and eggs however you like them. So, go for them all – it’s the most important meal of the day, after all!

Premier Inn Ultimate Wi-Fi – 24 Hour Access

The fact that Premier Inn offer any kind of 24/7 free Wi-Fi is impressive; as many budget hotel chains charge through the nose for it. This is fine for basic browsing but for streaming, you’ll need to upgrade to a faster connection. 24hrs worth of access is just a fiver, and you don’t need to visit a reception desk to buy it – just select the Ultimate option from your available connections, pay by card online and binge-watch away!

Gosh Charity Bernard Bear

This may seem like an odd recommendation for an in-hotel purchase, but there’s logic behind it… honest! Premier Inn’s chosen charity, for whom they promote and fundraise year-round, is GOSH; Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital. Each hotel sells cuddly Bernard the Bear toys for £10, so if you’ve saved over a tenner with a bargainous booking, why not pick one up? All proceeds go to the hospital and even if you’re not a cuddly toy fan yourself, he makes for a great gift to those you meet or visit while on your travels.

Our official Premier Inn Student Discount Guide runs through all the ways to save money on Premier Inn rooms so you can figure out what is best for you.

The first-ever Premier Inn was known as ‘Travel Inn’ (very Alan Partridge, eh?) and opened in 1987 next to the Beefeater restaurant in sunny Basildon.

It wasn’t until 2004 that another hotel opened, known as a ‘Premier Lodge’, and the chain went on to buy up smaller hotel chains to add to their portfolio from there.

Owned by Whitbread Group, who also owns Costa Coffee and a range of chain restaurants, expansion was swift, and the business streamlined to sell off some of its smallest hotels to other chains if they weren’t profitable to run.

In 2015, the 700th Premier Inn opened in Kingston, London, and it now seems like there’s one in every city and town! Premier Inn is able to expand so quickly as it buys up office blocks that would otherwise be destroyed and converts them into hotels, turning a quick profit to allow them to then build purpose-built hotels elsewhere. With services now expanding around the world and the celebrity endorsement of Lenny Henry becoming recognised by households across the UK, it seems we can only expect good things to come from the chain in the future.
