Great 2 night stay. Service was superb and food was brilliant. Really good sized portions at pleasing prices. the hotel seems to have had a new lease of life and Jack behind the bar was spot on. I think some themed nights in the bar may drag in some customers and a light over the pool table.

On check in we were told to avoid the hotel and car park around 6pm as it was prom ight and lots of school leavers and parents would be arriving. There was no room to park our car as the car park was packed solid with fancy cars an artic wagon and double horse and carriage dropping off and parents cars abandinded everwhere On the second night the noise from a wedding party was ridiculous as the evening was warm the guests chose to party in the carpark. If i had known the events were booked i would not have booked this venue. I feel this information should have been offered when booking. Staff however were friendly and polite. The room was comfortable with a view of the car park. The bathroom was clean but showed wear to the bath where the panel was rotten and black with damp. 1st stay will holiday inn and will be my last back to premier inn for us!

Holiday Inn Barnsley was better than I was expecting. Staff seem friendly and attentive at all times. Our Twin room was comfortable and clean. The food was lovely,we had a breakfast/dinner package. We were impressed with the quality of food. Breakfast was buffet, but really nice options. Overall impressive, only small observation.The bath has a little bit of mould on grouting, toilet seat was a little loose. Would definitely go back to a Holiday Inn.

Nothing good to say about the place really. Rooms are in a poor state of repair, I had to insist on a new shower head as the original was disgustingly filthy and clogged. WiFi is terrible and patchy, not suitable for a business trip. Room smelled stale as did the corridors, the hotel looks and feels.old and tired,bar attached is shockingly expensive and overall my impression was very poor

Big poo in my room when I entered that hadn’t been cleaned up. I had a ‘rave’ going on in the room next to me which I reported 3 times by phone at 11pm to the front desk but they said ‘they tried to tell the people to be quiet but they can’t force them’ So I HAD TO MOVE ROOM after getting into bed. The staff should have told the room next door to leave if they didn’t stop partying late at night. I will never come back. Plus Barnsley is a dive.

They just wanted me in and out as quick as possible. I am not comming back. I can't say anything about the rest of the hotel, this is only for room 135

On my stay i was in room 221.. in room 220 from around 21:00 i believe a gorilla entered coitus with an unknown entity... judging by noise at least.. the groaning was load enough that they may as well have been in my room.. This lasted an impressive 3 minutes.. an hour later they had another go... and then another... and a final session at around midnight.. I was genuinely impressed to be fair.. barring the lack of sleep.. that someone can make love like a tapas meal... lots of small portions... but due to the lack of noise from his partner.. ultimately unsatisfying.. Hotel was fine otherwise..

We were in room 103 and there was a serious issue early in the morning (6.30 ish. am) with the plumbing. A series of rumbling noises follow by a strong foul smell coming up from the shower drain. We had to have the window open fully on a bitterly cold morning. We called reception and Ben came up but there was nothing he could do. Eventually it stopped but it has put us off using your company again .
