ibis Styles Barnsley Hotel 3 stars

My son live in penistone so it is a good location for us

Hassle free.

Disappointed in lack of herbal teas in room ! I’m not able to drink tea or coffee! The room was clean but when we returned after being out for the night, their was a distinct drains smell, which we have not noticed before! Breakfast was fine except, cups weren’t being checked , and food debre, and stains remained in a fair amount of cups , I did mention this to one of your staff, who was going through complaining herself about quality control ! Staff I meet were helpful and pleasent, and room clean, just a shame about smell, and cutlery at breakfast! I’m very sorry to see the breakfast being removed from the price in March!

I had two separate reservations (Friday night and the Sunday night) - On Friday upon check-in it was explained that breakfast was until 11am, which was fine. The room I had looked in need of repair, the area around the lock was damaged and splintered wood was visible and the bed had what appeared to be small bits of dirt. The hotel has also changed the dispensing units for the hand wash / shower gel into a squeezable bottle that is 'locked' to the wall, this proved somewhat of an inconvenience for me to use as I only have 1 arm. The biggest issue was the smell from the bathroom that was apparent the moment you entered, a strong, almost 'rotting' smell. I was out for most of the day until 1am, and I left the room window open in order to try and air it out. This wasn't entirely successful. I did let reception know upon checking out. My stay on Sunday night was OK, but I wasn't told at the time that breakfast ends 1 hour earlier in the week, so when I arrived the Monday morning at 10:10, I was told I was too late. These issues aren't exactly the end of the world, just compared to previous stays, I felt slightly let down.

We always stay at Ibis Styles Barnsley when we travel up from south to see our daughter who lives in Barnsley. We were greeted at reception with a friendly smile on checking in. Our room, as always, was spotless, bright, warm etc. Well done housekeeping girls! Room had everything we needed. The only request we made for our second night was extra pillows which was no problem. They were there in our room when we returned in the evening. The carton of mineral water is a nice extra. Good supply of tea, coffee etc in the room too. Good wet room. Nice shower. Great choice of breakfast items hot & cold in the morning. Very good as included in room price. Great relaxed atmosphere & staff very helpful. Roll on our next stay! Thank you to everyone at the hotel.

Efficient, friendly service as always, and comfortable room.

Hotel was good for a one night stay, the bed was comfy and managed to get a good sleep. I was overlooking the railway line but it didn't really disturb me. Kettle, tv and desk in room. Shower was ok, the pressure a bit hit and miss. Food in the restaurant was nice but lacking a bit of atmosphere. Staff all helpful and friendly.

I needed to be in Barnsley for several days and the ibis styles is conveniently located for access to Barnsley from the M1. The rooms are simple and clean so perfectly adequate for short stays. The wifi was fast and free. The shower was very spacious so a pleasure to use. The breakfast included in the price was certainly enjoyable. Plenty of car parking was available. Sound insulation from the outside is good if you keep the window closed so that depends on whether you need to have the window open to keep cool. There is noise from the corridor. One thing that did put me off was the presence of other guests' dogs . Overall the ibis was better value than another Barnsley hotel I have used in the past.

Staff were very helpful and polite, was satisfied with stay overall.

Hotel is easy to book and staff during my stay are helpful and available.
