Room was great, as were the staff. Hotel is well kept the only let down was the breakfast. Breakfast wasn't overly busy, but food was cold, greasy and bland. clearly budget catering meat. Work needs to be done to improve this as other chains can get it right! Rest of the stay was great.

Wonderful staff.

This was the first time that we had stayed at the Holiday Inn in Barnsley. Although we used to live in the town so we had visited the hotel many times for functions and meals . The hotel was clean but in need of a refurbish. However the staff more than made up for any downsides, they delivered exemplary service.

Size of our family room was brilliant. However the air conditioning/heating pumps were underneath our window. The noise all night was awful. Especially around 6am when the noise increased!! It was a shame because staff and breakfast were brilliant. Rooms a bit shabby, especially the shower.

Not a chance I would stay there again

Average hotel, needs an upgrade, our greatest concern was with the lady from the front desk at the reception. From check in until we left, she had an attitude about everything. It’s a shame bc everyone else in the UK was amazing, but not her. No A/C in the majority if rooms, food was less than average. Definitely would not stay there again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was big and spacious, the bed was firm and i slept really well. I was trying to see what mattress was used so i could buy one. I was attending a wedding in the local area was was ideal. The view from my room was a pitch behind the hotel and i heard cheering l looked out of the window and saw alot of naked men running around the pitch with a crowd, im assuming some sort of charity thing, but it made me laugh. The only down sides was the hairdryer didnt work, after a few minutes it stopped and wouldnt come back on. I had to keep messing with the wire, and the shower was broke so it wouldnt stay up fully, which make it hard to wash my hair while stood in the shower.
