What guests think

Across many reviews, ibis Styles Barnsley is praised for friendly, welcoming staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and a convenient location just off the M1 with free parking, making it a good-value base for short stays.

Common drawbacks include no air conditioning leading to warm rooms, and traffic noise if windows are opened for cooling. Dining feedback is mixed: breakfast is often decent, but several reports note items running out and service struggling; evening food quality and availability are inconsistent. Some guests also mention recurring key‑card problems and occasional Wi‑Fi slowness. Best suited to simple, short stays.

The hotel is conveniently located just off the motorway and has a decently sized free car park. Booking in was easy and the receptionist was very helpful. The room was clean and the heating was on, which was great as it was cold and miserable outside. The bedding was clean and the bed was comfortable. The ensuite was a decent size and it was nice to have handwash and shower gel. Even more important, I think, is that the shower was fantastic with lots of hot water that didn't go cold every few minutes like some places we've stayed. We had a meal in the restaurant on the day we arrived. The food was perfectly OK for the type of hotel it is. You can't expect 5 star cuisine from somewhere that probably doesn't have a full kitchen. Overall a good hotel at a good price. We'll definitely be using it again the next time we visit the area.

The rooms are clean..just a basic room like alot of hotels. The main problem is that it is next to the M1 motorway and the traffic noise is horrendous all night..we couldnt open the window to get some air..we couldnt sleep with the window closed. The outside of the hotel has alot of litter in the car park and dozens of cigarette butts outside the main door. One good thing is that there is a Toby Carvery next door and the food is very good. It is convenient for what we needed if you can get a good price..wouldnt pay more than £50 for the night.

Everything was fine apart from a couple of cleanliness issues. We've stayed here many time and never had any issues but this time there were a couple of things. the spare pillows were unclean and had to be changed for new ones. I could feel something under the bottom sheet so moved it to find large crumbs and the final thing in the morning when I moved the curtain all the way back there was a dog treat. I thought the animal friendly rooms were meant to be cleaned better than normal rooms but this one clearly hadn't been.

I loved my stay here for the week and everything was amazing in every aspect apart from the doors... Oh my god!... Every door was equipped with self closers which is great but they were not calibrated properly. This meant that every single door slammed every time someone used one and it was incredibly frustrating when someone was using them often into late night/early morning. Apart from that then everything about the stay was wonderful in every way.

Not impressed with a member of bar staff, wanted to talk to a lad rather then, fetch what we’d asked for. Had to go back and ask her to stop talking as our food was out and husband wanted sauce. Hubby asked her for sauce when we put order in, food took around 1:2 hour yet I had to go and ask twice !!!! When we booked in wasn’t asked if interested in breakfast for £10, so when we went down in morning was told would have to pay £11.50 each as wasn’t paid day before, manger did resolve this but not happy not hi lighted

Rang reception at 12.50am to complain about it and the the man in reception wasn’t really interested in going to investigate what the noise was, and said the hotel was fully booked so we couldn’t be moved. Check in was quick the girl on the reception was friendly. Breakfast was good. Plenty to choose from.

Basic Ibis hotel. The building and rooms do what they are supposed to. The menu looks good but ordering food is difficult. The whole front of house is often deserted and the staff disappear for long periods. On both nights of my stay I searched around for anyone to serve for about twenty minutes before giving up and heading to the carvery over the car park.

We had dinner one evening which was super and a hearty breakfast every morning - all great quality. Also loved the relaxed scandi vibe of the hotel… the lobby is lovely to sit in. Would highly recommend!

Only problem was at night time staff seemed rushed and stressed trying to man the bar and reception. Then when ordering food most items not available. Then once ordered and paid for food was told items now not available with no offer of refund. Only asked what else we wanted even though there was no other options left as basically the entire menu was unavailable.

Reception and staff are first class, food is dreadful microwave junk. Walk 20 metres to the carvery next door. Lovely staff on reception and great welcome and the room is clean and functional. Barstaff were also great, but the food was a disgrace. With 6 people in the bar an restaurant it was neither busy or offering complex food. How hard is it to heat up pasta in a microwave. Food took ages and was dry and cold when some arrived. Sent back to be 'remade' as I was informed, the same plates came back again having undergone a few more minutes in the microwave. Adding to the plates dryness, it was inedible. Yuk.
