Mercure Barnsley Tankersley

I checked in here on 28th October. i was not greeted by what could only be described a rude, non engaging reception you girl. This must be the 1st time a hotel front of house staff member did not speak to me or offer a welcome, just a cant be arsed stare instead. I was not asked if i wanted to eat in the bar / dining room, i was not offered breakfast or if i would like to open a tab. Simply unbelievable! Tankersley is a stunning building, but that is where it stops. Unfortunately, like many hotels, it is in need of a full renovation, its very 80's. however, the rooms are spacious and clean. Staff at breakfast were fantastic, from the greeting to register your room to the kitchen staff keeping the plenty of choice well stocked up.

Our room was towards the back of the building, so nice and quiet away from the wedding celebrations. The room was clean and comfortable, but very hot even with the window open, so that made sleep difficult. We had a lovely meal in the brasserie in the evening and breakfast was good (self service.)

Staff were great at check in but the room was so noisy. We could hear every word of conversations from a family next to us. The corridors are also noisy. Premier Inns are quieter! A real shame as the pool facilities are great as is parking and location but lack of a good nights sleep lets the hotel down

Rooms could have been better, shower tray very dirty/marked did not use. Very limited tea tray, breakfast was very disappointing, very unorganised, chaotic, tea/coffee machine broke down twice.

The property appears to be geared towards weddings at the weekends. Unfortunately we couldn't be put into a quiet room away from the entertainment. The bass was very loud indeed and after calling reception at 11.30pm, they did turn it down a little, which was appreciated (12.30 is when they have to finish apparently). Regrettably a group of young girls then came back to the adjacent room and continued the party until the early hours, which added to a very disturbed night. If you are part of the party and expecting this, I'm sure you'll be fine (tolerant), if you are expecting a relaxing stay, peaceful and quiet (at the weekend), I'd make sure they put you in the opposite end of the hotel to the entertainment. Would also be nice if a member of staff walked the corridors to check that everyone is being considerate in the early hours (2.30am is beyond acceptable).

Porridge made to order at breakfast. Nice old building with character. Wish the pool was larger !

Ok Prices for drinks expensive so we ate at another restaurant

Another excellent stay. Food was good - breakfast particularly and dinner had great options - well cooked. Room again was spotless and everything worked perfectly. Will definitely be staying when next in the area.

It's shocking for disabled and elderly outside paths are very uneven and parking not great only one parking for disabled.thr walk in shower in the room was ideal but the chair and settee in the room were very dirty.the beds were very comfy though.but the constant humming noise all night long outside was not great so sleepless night..drove home tired not refreshed..won't stay again..

Hotel accommodation comfortable and clean. Did have to wait with two others for 10 minutes at reception to check in as no one around. Restaurant good except I ordered confit of duck with a chorizo and butter bean stew. When it arrived, there were no butter beans but baby potatoes. When I told the waitress, she seemed puzzled by what I told her. Eventually she said she would tell the chef…. Not a big issue but the restaurant team should know from the kitchen what is available or what substitutes are in place.
