Premier Inn Barnsley Central M1 J37

10/10 Excellent

"What a great stay. Hotel was clean and comfortable. Both of us thought the bed was exceptional and had wonderful sleeps . What stood out the most was the friendliness of the staff who we felt worked very hard to do their jobs and look after the guests.The manager(?) Kyle was the true standout. He really made us feel at home,was extremely helpful, efficient and instantly likeable. Due to the experience at the Barnsley location we looked in to booking at another site but unfortunately the hotel was full. We would certainly stay again at Premier in Barnsley and would readily recommend it to anyone"
