What amenities does Premier Inn Slough offer?

Both properties provide the standard Premier Inn package: comfortable beds, en‑suite bathrooms, a Thyme restaurant serving breakfast and dinner, and free Wi‑Fi in public areas. But the amenity lists diverge when it comes to parking and accessibility.

On‑site dining at the Thyme restaurant

The Thyme restaurant operates at both hotels, offering a cooked breakfast and an evening menu. One TripAdvisor reviewer of the town‑centre property described the restaurant as “excellent with great staff and food” (TripAdvisor). The West property’s Thyme has also received praise for being “great and attentive” (Premier Inn guest review snippet).

Bedroom features and comfort

Premier Inn prominently markets its “comfy bed” guarantee. Guest reviews at both Slough locations consistently mention clean, comfortable rooms. A reviewer of the West hotel noted “comfy and spacious” rooms, while guests at the town‑centre site reported “comfortable with a good bed and clean bathroom” (TripAdvisor West). Air conditioning is listed as an amenity at the West property (Premier Inn).

Parking and accessibility

This is the biggest practical difference. Premier Inn Slough West provides free parking in a multi‑storey car park across the road, while the town‑centre property charges £8 per night for on‑site spots (Premier Inn Slough). If you’re driving to Legoland, the West hotel’s free parking is a clear advantage. Both hotels list accessibility features on their official pages, including step‑free access to guest rooms (Premier Inn West).

How far is Premier Inn Slough from Legoland?

Legoland Windsor is the main attraction drawing families to this area, and both Premier Inn Slough locations are within a short drive.

Driving distance and time

Trivago states Premier Inn Slough (town centre) is 5.6 miles from Legoland (Trivago). Hotels.com describes Premier Inn Slough West as being within a 10‑minute drive of Legoland Windsor and Windsor Castle (Hotels.com). In practice, the drive time is roughly the same from either property – around 10 to 12 minutes depending on traffic.

Public transport options to Legoland

From the town‑centre Premier Inn, Slough railway station is a 10‑minute walk (about half a mile). Trains run to Windsor & Eton Riverside, from which you can take a bus or taxi to Legoland. The West property is closer to Burnham station, which also services the Windsor line. Neither hotel offers a direct shuttle, so driving or ride‑hailing is more convenient for families with young children.

“This is a great hotel for Legoland or LHR.”

Does Premier Inn Slough have a restaurant?

Yes, both properties feature the on‑site Thyme restaurant, which serves breakfast (included in some room rates) and dinner daily.

Thyme restaurant menu and hours

Standard Premier Inn menu: full English breakfast, continental options, burgers, pasta, and lighter bites. Breakfast is typically served 6:30–10:30am (weekdays) and 7–11am (weekends); dinner runs 6–10pm. Exact hours may vary, so it’s worth calling ahead.

Alternative dining nearby

The town‑centre property is closer to Slough’s high street, with a range of curry houses, pubs, and fast‑food outlets within a 5‑minute walk. The West property sits in the Slough Trading Estate, where dining options are more limited – you’ll likely rely on the Thyme restaurant or a short drive into town.

Is Premier Inn cheaper on the day?

Premier Inn uses a dynamic pricing model – rates rise as rooms fill. Their official policy encourages advance booking to secure the best price (Premier Inn). Walk‑in rates are typically higher than advance purchase rates, and for popular periods (school holidays, weekends) availability is often zero.

Premier Inn’s pricing policy

The chain’s “Prepay Saver” rates offer the lowest price when you book and pay upfront. Flexible rates allow cancellation but cost more. Prices are quoted in GBP and include VAT.

Advance booking vs walk‑in rates

For a standard Saturday night in peak season, an advance booking at Premier Inn Slough might be around £80–100, while a walk‑in could be £120–150 or unavailable. The West property, being slightly off the main road, sometimes has lower last‑minute availability than the town‑centre hotel, but there’s no guarantee.

Can I just walk into a Premier Inn and get a room?

Yes, walk‑ins are accepted at Premier Inn subject to availability. However, it’s not a reliable strategy, especially during school holidays or near Legoland.

Walk‑in policy explained

Premier Inn does not guarantee a room for walk‑ins. Their system shows real‑time availability on the app, but many hotels sell out by early evening. The front desk will help if rooms are free.

Factors affecting availability

Both Slough hotels see high demand from Legoland visitors, contractors at the trading estate, and Heathrow travellers. Weekday evenings can be busy due to business bookings; weekends fill up with families. The best walk‑in chance is mid‑week outside school holidays, but even then, book ahead to avoid disappointment.
