Premier Inn Barnsley Central M1 J37

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!

Excellent service from Sam on arrival. We arrived a little early and allowed us to check in. Room clean, extra pillows and bed very comfy. Also changed our room location as cannot use lifts, just brilliant service! Great location for our visit too. Thank you.

I have stayed at this hotel many times now and always enjoyed the experience. The rooms are always spotlessly clean and on this occasion I noticed new shower heads had been fitted in the bathrooms which were much better than the previous ones. The reception staff are always friendly and engaging, and do their very best to make sure you stay there is as good as it can be. Breakfast was good - cooked to order, and plenty of cereals, toast, pastries, fruit and choice of beverages. The location of the hotel is excellent with bars and eateries literally on the doorstep, and the town centre is just a few minutes walk away, as is the railway bus station. Thoroughly recommend this hotel!!

Kyle and his staff at the hotel were amazing. Asked for help and they were only too willing to help. Highly recommend staying here. Close to all local amenities and the hotel bar and restaurant are very good. Cannon hall is worth a visit as is Yorkshire sculpture park. Only a short drive from the hotel.

Went to visit my brother in ICU staff were amazing, extremely kind and helpful, back down this week for his funeral and again staff went above and beyond. James Green is one of the very kindest most helpful people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He is so helpful and has so much empathy for his costumers. He made a very difficult time easier for us all.
