The breakfast was lovely and fresh poached eggs made to order lovely. I am a frequent traveler round the world and have never been made so welcome. The staff are 5 stars the room was clean and we had a lovely sleep in a comfy bed.

- F3625RXbernies (8/5): Lovely stay in Barnsley - Staff at Premier inn Barnsley are so attentive & helpful. We always receive a warm welcome. Particularly from James & Lucy.
The room was clean & well presented.
- Hunar (8/5): - Väldigt bra och personalen var hjälpsamma.
- harrisonm266 (10/5): Great Stay. Excellent staff!! - Great place! Great staff! Great food! Great time!
The car park is abit run down but it belongs to the council not the premier inn itself. It also doesn’t have any direction to the hotel but it’s level 4.
Shout out to Harrison, Kelly, Georgia, Julie, Lucy, James, Kyle, Jess, Gareth, Sammi and Molly. All made my stay perfect when I arrived. Not a lovely bunch then these!
THANKYOU!
- markaN1578GD (10/5): Stay with friends - Stayed here for a couple a nights and had a fantastic stay. The breakfast served by Sammy the manager did amazing credit to the hotel. The room was clean and the food was lovely.
- oldhamlad81 (6/5): The rooms are too hot - I use this hotel 3 times a year and each times the rooms get hotter…The temperature doesn’t drop enough and the windows are shut permanently you cant open them….This really needs to be sorted as you cant sleep properly as the rooms are that hot….Also they have shut off the bar to the general public .
- lukefQ5417CK (10/5): Great location & staff - Great location, nice rooms. Kelly & Harrison provided really good customer service both when we arrived and throughout the night in the bar restaurant
- jasonharding136 (10/5): Nice friendly accommodating - Sammy at reception went above and beyond for all of us today we have a very early flight and she accommodated us all couldn't be happier wit the service thanks a mill
- Crock1973 (10/5): Fantastic staff - I can honestly say I have never been to another Premier Inn with as super friendly and welcoming staff. Well done e it was a pleasure to meet you all
- DMJohnson59 (8/5): Great location for central Barnsley - Stayed here many times
Great location, Staff good, car park close by and cheap but car park is not very clean (not premier inn car park)
- 599paigeb (10/5): Lovely visit - Came with my partner for a night away, the hotel was lovely and clean, staff were very polite Julie on reception made sure our check in went smoothly. Compliments to the chef as the food was amazing. We will definitely be returning.
- Climber24753352821 (2/5): AVOID DISGUSTING - Normally a fan of Premier inns and having had a pleasant stay at Premier in slough SW the night before me and the family were looking forward to 3 nights in Barnsley Central - especially the breakfast! HOWEVER……. The restaurant and food areas are DISGUSTING, filthy trays storing glasses, brown slimy work surfaces, rotting food stuck in broken tiles, smeared stainless steel and generally a mess with little effort to clean up. Premier Inn customer services were not particularly interested in the feedback and would not accept the photos to demonstrate just how bad this portrays the Premier Inn brand. Barnsley council have been informed and hopefully the current 5 star (2023) food rating will be reviewed and reflect the poor hygiene practices.
- Jo987654321Jo (10/5): Brilliant! Thankyou Barnsley central premier inn - Although my room was in dire need of a refurbishment (as is the rest of the hotel tbh) it was absolutely spotlessly clean, the staff that were cleaning rooms were extremely polite, friendly, helpful and very cheery. The reception staff also work in the restaurant serving guests, Julie (?) was absolutely amazing, that lady never stopped for a second, constantly moving around, serving people in the restaurant, cleaning tables and service areas as she went, as well as popping through to attend to guests in the reception, all the while with such grace and a smile on her face, an absolute lady and a credit to the company! Breakfast was lovely, was served just as I had asked for, lovely well done bacon, perfectly cooked eggs and sausages, it was nice and hot too, even though breakfast was extremely busy, So a big thankyou to the chef Steve, I would definitely recommend his breakfast! 5 stars from me!
The hotel is located near the town hall, and is just a few minutes walk into the town center and the bus and train station. There is a multi storey carpark that is under the hotel and also a carpark across from the hotel near the 'one stop shop'. I do believe both carparks belong to the local council and not to premier inn, I would suggest using the carpark across from the hotel rather than the multi storey one.
- patriciagF2528FN (10/5): Pick up too good to go - We came here to pick up a too good to go! The service was great! Also the food was great and tasty, it was super cheap. Highly recommended!
- estherb319 (10/5): Cheap - and surprisingly good! - This Premier Inn was cheap - and amazing! The staff team were welcoming and really helpful. The room was spacious, bed really comfortable. From 4th floor we had a wonderful view over Barnsley. The bar and restaurant area are attractive, great for an evening meal and relaxing in.
- D1629UYkarenb (6/5): Not great - Ok apart from the state of the quilts and mattress protectors. Absolutely filthy.
I stripped the beds in the morning ,as I always do , and was absolutely disgusted. I wish I'd checked before we actually slept in the beds 😔
- 983phils (10/5): Great stay - Had a great stay. Room clean. Bed super comfy. Reception, bar and restaurant staff very friendly and wanting to make sure we were happy and had everything we needed. The cooked breakfast was very well cooked. I would definitely recommend.
- 195salk (10/5): Super Star SIAN - Absolutely amazing service from SIAN customer service on another level wow 🤩
This young lady was so so helpful and professional I’m completely blown away
She’s a credit & a asset to Premier Inn Barking
- E583IXtatianad (10/5): Petru Olteanu - This is the second time I've come here with my family. I highly recommend it. It's a small, well-made place to stay at a low price. The kitchen staff is very nice and the reception staff is also very nice and friends . The room also had everything I needed and the beds were well made. Thank you and I'll be back when I have the opportunity to travel to London.
- waynespeed (2/5): Barnsley center - bathroom not clean Bar did not open till 6pm and very poor options on the menu staff were nice but could have done with a better clean in the room itself
- 752jenniferu (2/5): Cockroach in bed - There was a cockroach in my bed discovered by my one year old. It was about 12.30am and the hotel were unable to provide me with an alternative room as they were fully booked. I know in similar circumstances other hotels would at least help you find alternative accommodation however this was not the case here. Could not get a refund on the spot. Was given a number to call which turned out to be the wrong number. Once I got through to the right number they did process my refund without too much hassle at least.
- Mirko (10/5): - Tutto bene, personale cordiale, hotel pulito lo consiglio vivamente
- kaytee786 (10/5): Will definitely stay here again - The rooms were nice and clean. We love staying at Premier Inns because the beds are so comfy and the breakfast is always lovely too. They cater for children too & there's always plenty of variety too.
A special thank you to Sian & Sal who made our stay even better. They are the most friendliest & polite members of staff I've ever come across at Premier Inn. I'm always nervous about breakfast times with young children, especially toddlers but they made it a breeze & my children loved them both. Before we even sat down, they got some crayons and colouring ready, played with them & asked them what they wanted to eat.
- Q6995ODvictoriaw (8/5): Centrally located hotel with helpful staff - Had a good stay just for one night. Very centrally located for public transport. The room was spacious and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. I loved that there was a full sized bath.
Very good value. Breakfast was cooked to order and a good vegetarian selection. Lovely yoghurt and compote. As a solo traveler, I liked that dinner was available in the hotel. Nice selection on the 2 course deal and the rose wine was outstanding! Breakfast front of house and chef were excellent.
Four stars because the room had a few signs of wear and tear and at dinner main course was served before I had finished my starter. I absolutely would stay again and appreciated onward travel advice from the staff on check in
- G8307SOamyd (10/5): Fab! - I stayed overnight as I was visiting family. Was greeted at reception very promptly and the receptionist explained everything to Me and what I needed to do to get up to my room. Didn’t have an evening meal but did stop in for a quick drink before I went for my meal with my family excellent service bubbly and friendly staff.
Had breakfast the following morning waited a few minutes for someone to seat me. The cooked breakfast was excellent coffee, juice,toast just as I expected.
On checking out the receptionist was very friendly and wish Me a good day and I popped my key in the box.
Will definitely be returning to stay 10 out of 10!
- 901shail (10/5): Excellent - my stay at the premier inn whilst we visisted for Salon International was fabulous,
Vicky enhanced this experience and made it 10x better i felt at home.
- JudithD1108 (8/5): Welcoming and friendly - This is our second time staying here and we cannot fault it. Really welcoming and friendly staff, especially one of the members of the night staff, his name us Oden, nothing was to much trouble if we needed anything and he was a really nice chap to talk to!
- mrsduck12 (10/5): Fab hotel in a great location. Ideal if going to a concert in the nearby Memo Arts Centre as it's only a 10 min walk. - This hotel is in a lovely location overlooking the old docks. It was very clean and the receptionist was very friendly on arrival. Checked in online so arrival was quick and we were told where to go to find out room. Our room was huge with a large very comfy double bed. The bathroom was also big and clean. We had food in the Brewers Fayre right next door and was really happy. It was a value meal offer between 12pm&6pm so only £5. We had fish and chips and considering the price it was a large portion. The hotel was quiet during the night and we slept well. Didn't book breakfast this time but I know it is usually a good selection of hot and cold food. Will definitely return.
- YorkshireOwl66 (6/5): Warm welcome - We stayed on a Saturday night because we were meeting friends for a night out. The lad on reception was very welcoming but that was the only good thing about the hotel, it has the feel that it is about to close down. Our room was in dire need of a good renovation, the toilet was leaking and we had to put a towel round the bottom of it plus all the panels in the bathroom were falling apart. Premier inn management need to start investing some money into their brand.
I had rung in the week and asked for a quiet room but even though we were located on the top floor we could hear boy races flying about all night so sleep was really hit and miss.
- Dream44650536279 (2/5): "AVOID" at all costs - Absolutely terrible food stone cold and the girl who works there called Molly with brown hair as bad hygiene never clean and handling food bin here several times "AVOID" at all costs
- OnAir33895954039 (10/5): Work - Great location rooms very clean couldn't have asked for better. Staff was really helpful and polite. If around barnsley would recommend staying here
- O5712KIpeterw (10/5): excellent stay, superb staff - From booking in to leaving the staff, both front of house and restaurant were polite and very helpful. Any request was seen to at once and with no fuss.Food was very good and delivered with courtesy. When car parking machine failed the people on check in sorted the payment at once. Many thanks to all for making our stay pleasant and comfortable, we will be back
- P8804GLdavida (10/5): September stay 2025 - Great location for the excel show breakfast staff Sally and Vicky were both excellent and are a credit to the hotel Skye and the manager were extremely polite and it’s nice to see the same faces on our return to the hotel
- Rosco912 (10/5): A great hotel, in a perfect location, with excellent service! - We've used this exact hotel for the past 3 years, while exhibiting at the Excel in London.
It's the perfect location and rarely at other hotels do we see the same staff, but it's the same staff who always remember us and are superb, especially the manager and Sal and Vicky in the restaurant!
- hollies235 (10/5): Premier inn stay - Saved our trip! After being let down by another hotel, they helped us out last minute with a room and even set up a cot straight away. The room was spacious and the customer service was excellent — couldn’t have asked for more. Highly recommend.
- B4621OBgracek (10/5): amazing - lovely place and positive staff, was catered to the whole time and the rooms were very very nice,would recommend and will be coming back again x
- F4981JJjamiel (10/5): Best service - Lovely Experience, staff were polite and always there to help, housekeeping were amazing with the daily room cleans that i requested
- cecilianZ1009ID (2/5): Don’t even waste your money here! - Experience was horrible, had the worst staff , never ready to help, very confrontational,rude and always evade questions when asked.
Let me not start on house keeping. They don’t clean properly when asked, I had to result to cleaning the room myself because it seems like I was asking for a lot. My sheets were never changed during my stay. This had been my worst experience in all of my travels abroad.
- R3980HRgaryc (8/5): Comfortable bed. But some TLC required. - Easy to find, near the water. Good car parking, very quick check in. And lovely, comfortable bed. Although, the room could do with some tlc and redecorating. Reasonable price and was pre-warned about building work taking place. Not affecting us at the weekend.
- martinmK6765EI (10/5): Premier Inn Barry great views staff. Very helpful happy to help us all in 1 in a googleplex - It was celebrating our 8 th wedding anniversary shame on the weather only one lush day but it was awesome seeing Cardiff castle meeting someone who worked there Keith he was very helpful knock off Nessa did the Dave coaches tour that was fantastic all in all fantastic. We found two places we were looking for mcsims pastisties Maltese cafe and fabulous Welsh cakes
- Goddy27 (10/5): Top staff - Top notch, it makes a difference when staff put the effort in.
(Sian and Grace) you stood out, great to have a night where there isn't much going on but the staff go above and beyond.
Definitely stay again!
Hopefully be back soon, quiet hotel with an easy access back to the main drag!
- 825mayowao (10/5): Best service ever - I had a wonderful experience at the Premier Inn in Barking. The breakfast was delicious, fresh, and very well prepared – exactly what you’d hope for to start the day right.
A special mention to the waiters, Sain and Aaliyah, who gave excellent service throughout. They were attentive, polite, and made sure everything was served perfectly. Their professionalism and friendliness really added to the overall experience.
The restaurant itself was very clean, with great attention to detail in both serving and clearing tables, which created a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere.
Thank you to the whole team for such a great breakfast experience – I’ll definitely be coming back!
- preaa2025 (10/5): Amazing Star worker - Big thankyou to Savanah she’s a star. Was looking after us on our evening dinner and was amazing she really made an effort and made sure we was okay and I had a few request which she made. It seem like no fuss. Star worker
- F1850VCteresal (10/5): This was a spur of the moment mini break in Barry. Thank you to you all for making it a fabulous couple of days. - We arrived early but were invited to do the early check in which we did. The room was very clean and comfortable. We asked for a couple extra pillows which were supplied in no time. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Couldn’t fault them at all.
- 71kennetk (10/5): Superb breakfast experience - Went for breakfast yesterday and have to say Vicky was the best worker I have seen. Super friendly and left a very good feeling of the place overall. Will definitely come again if I am in this area. Thanks and all the best!
- staceywA2844NW (10/5): Lovely experience. - Got a warm welcome. Went for breakfast with the family. Vicky couldn’t have been any more helpful before our check in. Showing us where everything was and even helping us plan our morning.
- jonocarney (8/5): One of the decent Premier Inns - Great location with free parking. Room was clean and quiet and staff were very friendly, easy access to Barry Island and has a great pizza restaurant and an Asda on its doorstep!
- joannalN122YK (2/5): Don’t stay if it’s hot! - Damp smelling room, windows didn’t open, no fan/cooling system and it was 26 degrees outside and inside. Shame as we stayed before and there were no issues. We couldn’t wait to leave!
- 119cathe (10/5): Enjoyed the night break - We loved our overnight stay here, only had one night sadly, my son was very happy with the room he didn’t want to leave & very comfortable beds, great view from the front, weatherspoons around the corner & brewers fayre next door, a bit of a walk to the beach but we would love to come again soon please
- A8277LXemilyw (10/5): We Left 7 Minutes Before Checkout Time Because We Didn't Want To Leave! - Me and my best friend came to Barry Island because we of course wanted to see the filming locations from Gavin and Stacey. We decided to stay in the premier inn and we did not regret it!
I emailed the hotel before explaining that I have anxiety when it comes to staying in hotels and I needed to be on the ground floor and they was happy to accommodate.
Our room was lovely and we actually didn't want to leave the bed was so comfy. We actually left 7 minutes before 12pm because we didn't want to leave.
The room was clean and nicely laid out, the only thing was that there was some marks on the wall but in all fairness they were having building work done at the time. It was really hot when we went as well and as they are upgrading the hotel the windows don't open but there is air conditioning. Honestly it kept the room so cool and nice.
We didn't hear any of the building work (might be because it was a weekend but we still didn't hear anything).
It was so easy for us to walk to Barry Island from the hotel and go and see the things that we wanted to see and then walk back.
The hotel even now has a little nod to Gavin and Stacey! On the front and side of the building there is a side that says "Whats Occur-inn"
The hotel is facing the docks and it is a beautiful view!
The restaurant is nice, the only issue was that there isn't a massive selection for dinners but the breakfast is amazing, which we booked two £10.99 unlimited breakfasts. My friend had a massive full english and I had multiple different things like crumpets, a sausage sandwich and cereal!
We would 100% recommend it and we would love to go back even just to stay in the hotel!
- 146irenab (10/5): Will be back - I would like to say a Huge Thanks for Korry and his Hospitality!
So Professional and Hard Worker!!! Everyday and all the time with the smile and ready to help.
Definitely, deserve the bonus ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
- gemma099 (6/5): Fair hotel but nothing special - Qe arrived early at 12 midday on Saturday and the lady on reception showed no interest or enthusiasm just simply said our room is not ready. The man later when we returned around 4/5pm was really friendly and helpful giving food recommendations and more.
The location is good to see the sights and gavin and stacey experience. The breakfast and service at the Brewers fayre was very good and the bed comfortable. The room was ok but a little run down in parts and the corridors smelt musky.
- darrenk2025 (6/5): Good Location But Not the best Premier Inn - Good Location Close to local Attractions! Cleanliness Could do with improvement Both in the rooms and outside the hotel and Bar premises!
Fag Ends everywhere & Litter need to be kept on top off
- andrewterry369 (10/5): 👍 - All good. Great location, food at the restaurant was good , sit outside and relax. Staff was great, and helped for information, ASDA is a 1 minute walk if you need essential s
- Curious10963510824 (8/5): Weekend break - We moved this break from Easter to beginning of August due to family issues. We mainly wanted to see local area and visit St Fagans museum, which we did and was an excellent day out. We were met by a lovely young lady called Nicole on reception who was very friendly helpful and told us directions around the area etc. We had room 121 which was clean and tidy, but the floors in the room especially the bathroom made a terrific creaking noise, and the noise from upstairs was even worse, it’s a shame as other than that the stay was good.
- siobhana583 (10/5): Amazing - Great stay, location close to the beach. Would stay again and ideal prices. Few minutes walk to industrial estate with multiple restaurants and stores such as Morrisons and Asda.
- S4033CIrachaelw (10/5): Comfortable, friendly warm welcome - We stayed one night and loved every minute. Had everything we needed, great location and lovely warm, friendly welcoming staff who couldn't do enough to ensure our stay was comfortable, memorable and easy. For anyone needing a place to stay in Barry, I highly recommend.
- andrewkS764RT (10/5): Great location - Great location for exploring Barry Island, Cardiff and penarth,easy and plenty of parking, air conditioning was great in the room,very friendly reception staff, great room
- Josh2695 (8/5): Good stay - Booked a three night stay, to visit Barry and do the Gavin Stacey tour. Staff all very friendly, brewers fayre next door, about a 15 minute flat walk to Barry Island. Only issues with the hotel was soundproofing seemed a bit non existent, the noise of the people in floor above walking around was very loud and could hear any little noise from other rooms or the hallway, and the air con seemed to sometimes turn itself on in the night for no obvious reason.
