Caring for our guests and employees is always our priority. While we have consistently maintained high standards of hygiene in our properties, we have implemented additional measures in response to Covid-19. These measures are in place to mitigate any potential risks and follow the recommended guidelines from health authorities and are under ongoing review. 

As Covid-19 continues to impact the global community, we would like to keep you informed about the procedures and protocols we have introduced at PREMIER SUITES. Based on guidance from local authorities and The World Health Organisation, we have taken specific steps to ensure the safety and welfare of our guests, employees and suppliers. Please read on to see what we are doing and how our serviced apartments can offer a safe environment for guests.

Sincerest thank you for your co-operation during this challenging time and your support of PREMIER SUITES.

What measures have been implemented to protect your staff and guests? 

We take standards for hygiene and cleanliness very seriously and are proactively implementing additional hygiene procedures and precautions to ensure that the highest possible standards are upheld throughout every area and service our properties provide, for both guests as well as our own team. 

While the situation is still evolving rapidly, we know it is important to be prepared to deal with any escalation in the spread of the virus and have the following actions in place:

• Sufficient supply of hand sanitisers, gloves, masks, paper towels and disinfectant materials in all properties
• Comprehensive employee communications policy to ensure reliable, up-to-date information is communicated to employees and to clarify procedures and policies around mitigating the risks associated with Covid-19
• Posters in public bathrooms to inform of good hand hygiene, respiratory hygiene and cough etiquette
• Additional tissues available in public areas
• Additional cleaning of public areas and frequently touched surfaces (door handles / reception desk / elevator buttons) – using products which are effective in killing the virus
• Property linen washed on a higher temperature
• We have provided sanitiser stations throughout the buildings
• We have identified all common touch points and have implemented a thorough sanitisation of these points
• Extra public area staff have been rostered to ensure regular sanitising of commonly touched surfaces
• Our internal communications platforms are ensuring efficient flow of protocols and updates
• We have circulated government & health authority guidelines on personal hygiene and travel arrangements to all employees
• We have implemented full procedures for sanitising guestrooms including all touch points e.g. remote controls, handles, light switches
• We are committed to providing the additional manpower required to implement best practice procedures
• We have introduced a ‘no-touch’ housekeeping service, where guests can request cleaning products and linen to be left at their door
• We are committed to playing our part in trying to prevent Covid-19 from escalating. We ask that our customers do the same and follow the HSE & WHO guidelines regarding personal hygiene and Covid-19.

What are you doing if a guest of staff member become unwell? 

Each team member has been fully briefed on how to approach guests that may be unwell or are self-isolating, and we remain in close daily contact with each team member to ensure they remain in good health. If employees or an immediate family member does not feel well, the order is to stay at home and clarify any medical condition before returning to work.

Should a guest present with any symptoms of or feel unwell during their stay, we kindly ask them to stay in their room and contact local health authorities. Please update the Front Desk team of your situation. 

For Ireland, call the HSE on 1850 24 1850

For the UK, use the NHS online 111 service or call 111

For Belgium / Netherlands, please telephone the Front Desk, who will provide you with local doctor telephone details

If a guest becomes unwell, we will liaise with them to get a list of their requirements e.g. groceries, medical needs, extra linen, etc. All items requested by the guests (throughout self-isolation) will be left outside the door for the guest to take, whilst wearing a mask. As our apartments are self-catering the guest should be comfortable during this time in the apartment.

Each of our properties has a full list of protocols to follow should a colleague or guest become ill.
