Premier Inn Stoke-On-Trent (Hanley) hotel
A no-fuss Hanley base with free parking built in
About this hotel
This Premier Inn sits in Hanley, a short public-transport ride from the Potteries Museum and a few minutes' walk from Hanley Brewers Fayre for an easy dinner. Free parking makes it a straightforward choice for a family driving up for a Water World weekend, and the rooms themselves are streamlined and consistent rather than characterful, which is exactly what a one or two-night slides trip usually needs. Toddlers get a simple, familiar layout to settle into after a car journey; older kids and teens won't find much to entertain them at the hotel itself, but that's not really the point of a budget stopover like this one. The relaxed restaurant on site covers a low-effort evening meal, closing out a day of flumes without anyone needing to go far.
- Free parking
- 3-star budget rooms
- On-site restaurant
- Air conditioning
Our take
This suits a family who wants a reliable, affordable Hanley base for a Water World weekend and doesn't need much beyond a clean room and free parking. It's not the pick if proximity to the water park itself or a kitchenette for a longer stay matters more than location and price.
- ✓Book early for half-term weekends, this is one of the more popular budget rooms in Hanley for a Water World trip.
- ✓Confirm free parking at booking since it's a key part of the value here, especially if you're driving up from outside Staffordshire.
- ✓Budget separately for breakfast, it's a paid add-on rather than included in the room rate.
Why we love it

Why guests love itI would choose Premier Inn Stoke-On-Trent (Hanley) for a short Water World stopover rather than a long stay. This 3-star hotel in Hanley has streamlined rooms, free Wi-Fi and free parking, with straightforward doubles rather than suites, so it suits smaller families best. The Potteries Museum is a short public transport hop away for a non-park outing. Breakfast is extra. With 1,480 reviews and an 8.6 rating, it is a dependable pick.
