Barnsley Central M1 J37 hotel

We had the loveliest stay, all thanks to the friendly and courteous staff. We’ve stayed in Premier Inns a lot as a family and this was an exceptional experience. Thank you to all the staff

Had a fantastic 2 night stay. We arrived on the Friday had a lovely social time in the bar. Was greeted by a very polite and kind gentleman. We was also looked after by a really kind young lady named Jess. Went around the town on the Saturday to a few places recommended. Would definitely stay again, staff was brilliant room was to be expected clean and comfortable.

This hotel is located in Barnsley Town Centre. It’s convenient to stay when enjoying a night out in Barnsley. What stands out for me with this hotel is the night staff members. They are always there if and when you need them and nothing is ever too much trouble. I would stay again the next time I visit an event in Barnsley.

We stayed at three separate Premier Inns whilst doing the Trans-Pennine Trail and we agreed that the Barnsley one was the least appealing of all three. That's not to say it was bad - it wasn't - but it had some glaring issues. The Cons: * The lift was out from the car park. The hotel made some mumbling that it's owned by other people so they can't control it but how's that going to help elderly or disabled people? Unacceptable. And the stairs from the car park are your usual sketchy variety. They make fun echoes though. Just check before you come to see if they've fixed it. If they haven't, maybe look at another Premier Inn... * The staff were quite brusque overall. That's OK, they don't need to be your friends or anything but none of them were warm or welcoming - reception or dining staff. * For Trans-Penniners only, it's quite far off the trail to get to depending on which way you're coming. Wombwell might be a better shout. The Pros: * Cyclist friendly, allowing bikes in rooms. * Breakfast was fine. * The beds were very comfortable. We all thought the bathrooms were pretty good. * Reasonably priced for what it is. * The inside lifts are quite big and good for bikes! * Centrally Barnsley based - superb location if Barnsley is your destination. So all in all, a lot of pluses but the car park lift being out caused so much disruption for us and others, it really impacted it. If the staff seemed apologetic about it, that's something. But they weren't. That's a shame as I think those things let down what would have been a superb experience!

Great stay with brilliant staff. Everyone was friendly and attentive. Great food in the restaurant. Room was clean and comfortable, had a good nights sleep. What more could you want when staying in a premier inn? Thank you everyone for a great stay!
