Great location
Great staff
Staff at Premier inn Barnsley are so attentive & helpful. We always receive a warm welcome. Particularly from James & Lucy. The room was clean & well presented.
Harrison is a legend best service I ever had. Lucy is one of the best people I have met in this industry 100% would say again
Lucy and Harrison were amazing. On a works trip and they couldn’t help enough, they were friendly and welcoming - would highly recommend.
Stayed here for a couple a nights and had a fantastic stay. The breakfast served by Sammy the manager did amazing credit to the hotel. The room was clean and the food was lovely.
Great place! Great staff! Great food! Great time! The car park is abit run down but it belongs to the council not the premier inn itself. It also doesn’t have any direction to the hotel but it’s level 4. Shout out to Harrison, Kelly, Georgia, Julie, Lucy, James, Kyle, Jess, Gareth, Sammi and Molly. All made my stay perfect when I arrived. Not a lovely bunch then these! THANKYOU!
Great location, nice rooms. Kelly & Harrison provided really good customer service both when we arrived and throughout the night in the bar restaurant
I use this hotel 3 times a year and each times the rooms get hotter…The temperature doesn’t drop enough and the windows are shut permanently you cant open them….This really needs to be sorted as you cant sleep properly as the rooms are that hot….Also they have shut off the bar to the general public .
Sammy at reception went above and beyond for all of us today we have a very early flight and she accommodated us all couldn't be happier wit the service thanks a mill
Stayed here many times Great location, Staff good, car park close by and cheap but car park is not very clean (not premier inn car park)
Came with my partner for a night away, the hotel was lovely and clean, staff were very polite Julie on reception made sure our check in went smoothly. Compliments to the chef as the food was amazing. We will definitely be returning.
Normally a fan of Premier inns and having had a pleasant stay at Premier in slough SW the night before me and the family were looking forward to 3 nights in Barnsley Central - especially the breakfast! HOWEVER……. The restaurant and food areas are DISGUSTING, filthy trays storing glasses, brown slimy work surfaces, rotting food stuck in broken tiles, smeared stainless steel and generally a mess with little effort to clean up. Premier Inn customer services were not particularly interested in the feedback and would not accept the photos to demonstrate just how bad this portrays the Premier Inn brand. Barnsley council have been informed and hopefully the current 5 star (2023) food rating will be reviewed and reflect the poor hygiene practices.
Although my room was in dire need of a refurbishment (as is the rest of the hotel tbh) it was absolutely spotlessly clean, the staff that were cleaning rooms were extremely polite, friendly, helpful and very cheery. The reception staff also work in the restaurant serving guests, Julie (?) was absolutely amazing, that lady never stopped for a second, constantly moving around, serving people in the restaurant, cleaning tables and service areas as she went, as well as popping through to attend to guests in the reception, all the while with such grace and a smile on her face, an absolute lady and a credit to the company! Breakfast was lovely, was served just as I had asked for, lovely well done bacon, perfectly cooked eggs and sausages, it was nice and hot too, even though breakfast was extremely busy, So a big thankyou to the chef Steve, I would definitely recommend his breakfast! 5 stars from me! The hotel is located near the town hall, and is just a few minutes walk into the town center and the bus and train station. There is a multi storey carpark that is under the hotel and also a carpark across from the hotel near the 'one stop shop'. I do believe both carparks belong to the local council and not to premier inn, I would suggest using the carpark across from the hotel rather than the multi storey one.
Had a great stay. Room clean. Bed super comfy. Reception, bar and restaurant staff very friendly and wanting to make sure we were happy and had everything we needed. The cooked breakfast was very well cooked. I would definitely recommend.
This Premier Inn was cheap - and amazing! The staff team were welcoming and really helpful. The room was spacious, bed really comfortable. From 4th floor we had a wonderful view over Barnsley. The bar and restaurant area are attractive, great for an evening meal and relaxing in.
bathroom not clean Bar did not open till 6pm and very poor options on the menu staff were nice but could have done with a better clean in the room itself
Prima hotel
Had a good stay just for one night. Very centrally located for public transport. The room was spacious and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. I loved that there was a full sized bath. Very good value. Breakfast was cooked to order and a good vegetarian selection. Lovely yoghurt and compote. As a solo traveler, I liked that dinner was available in the hotel. Nice selection on the 2 course deal and the rose wine was outstanding! Breakfast front of house and chef were excellent. Four stars because the room had a few signs of wear and tear and at dinner main course was served before I had finished my starter. I absolutely would stay again and appreciated onward travel advice from the staff on check in
I stayed overnight as I was visiting family. Was greeted at reception very promptly and the receptionist explained everything to Me and what I needed to do to get up to my room. Didn’t have an evening meal but did stop in for a quick drink before I went for my meal with my family excellent service bubbly and friendly staff. Had breakfast the following morning waited a few minutes for someone to seat me. The cooked breakfast was excellent coffee, juice,toast just as I expected. On checking out the receptionist was very friendly and wish Me a good day and I popped my key in the box. Will definitely be returning to stay 10 out of 10!
Hotellet var okej men kändes lite ryanair style. Den varma frukosten var ganska dåligt lagad. Våra vänner fick inte komma in i hotellet förens inchekningstid även fast de hade rum bokade. Alltså de fick inte ens gå till våra rum utan var tvugna att vänta utanför hotellet om de inte betalade för tidig incheckning. Hotellet ligger bra till så om man bara behöver någonstans att sova så funkar det bra men inget ställe jag skulle bo på för upplevelsen. Ganska nedgånget.
We stayed on a Saturday night because we were meeting friends for a night out. The lad on reception was very welcoming but that was the only good thing about the hotel, it has the feel that it is about to close down. Our room was in dire need of a good renovation, the toilet was leaking and we had to put a towel round the bottom of it plus all the panels in the bathroom were falling apart. Premier inn management need to start investing some money into their brand. I had rung in the week and asked for a quiet room but even though we were located on the top floor we could hear boy races flying about all night so sleep was really hit and miss.
Great location rooms very clean couldn't have asked for better. Staff was really helpful and polite. If around barnsley would recommend staying here
Absolutely terrible food stone cold and the girl who works there called Molly with brown hair as bad hygiene never clean and handling food bin here several times "AVOID" at all costs
The bed was great. No frills, not a luxury hotel - but just what we required.
Elevator from parking garage was out of order. Had to carry my suitcase up 8 flights of stairs to access the hotel lobby. Asked staff at checkin to comp the 5GBP parking charge but they said the car park was owned by the town and they couldn’t do anything about it. This is unacceptable. The staff should have provided vehicular access to the lobby for unloading which would have been possible under the circumstances.
