Location is the big one, right? This Premier Inn is smack in the middle of the city centre. That means you can practically roll out of bed and find yourself at the Sunderland Empire Theatre for a show, or a two-minute walk from the Bridges shopping centre.
But here’s the little secret that makes local hearts sing: the parking. It’s at the nearby National Glass Centre, and it’s included. Yes, included. No faffing about with overpriced city centre car parks or feeding a meter at 8am. That alone is worth a little happy dance.
You can just park, check in, and then wander along the River Wear. It’s a lovely, stress-free start to any trip. No adding a car park anxiety tax to your weekend budget.
That Famous Premier Inn Bed
Let’s talk about the star of the show: the bed. You know the one. It’s the bed that has its own mythical status. It’s like sleeping on a pillow cloud that’s been perfectly calibrated by sleep scientists.
After a day of exploring the city’s history at Hylton Castle or cheering on the Black Cats at the Stadium of Light, you need that deep, resetting sleep. This bed delivers. It’s the kind of sleep where you forget where you are, in the best possible way.

You wake up feeling like you’ve actually had a holiday, not just a business trip. That’s worth its weight in gold, or at least a full English breakfast.
