Premier Inn Sheffield/Barnsley - M1 Jct36

I stayed a full week, visiting family and friends around S Yorkshire. The hotel is very conveniently situated for the conurbation and the Pennines. I had an excellent disability-accessible room on the ground floor; it was simply furnished but was comfortable, very clean and the bathroom was well furnished with grab rails. The staff at reception, in the dining room and in the kitchen were particularly warm and friendly. Unknown to them, we are going through difficult times and arrived exhausted: their kindness really enabled us to relax and wake refreshed and ready for the challenges facing us each day. Hats off to the chef, they can make better porridge than I can! We frequent P Inn regularly; this is for sure among the best and we will be returning.

A well located, comfortable hotel. Very welcoming staff.
Decor getting worn and tired in places, time for a refresh otherwise very good.
Evening meals not available whilst l was there.

This is a good Premier Inn with helpful staff. The bedrooms are Premier Inn standard. For those tired of sitting down all day, there is a nice local common with great walks which is accessible from the hotel without a vehicle.

HOWEVER, at this moment, the Wentworth Restaurant is closed (until Christmas). It will become a Wetherspoons (which is great news) but be aware that, although they have converted bedrooms into a breakfast room, there is no restaurant on site. The only one within walking distance is McDonalds or the Tankarsley Manor up the road

Excellent stay, staff very helpful and friendly. Room was very nice and clean. Breakfast was exemplary and nice and hot.

Sadly had a bad experience. Didn’t sleep as was literally sweating in my bed. There is no air conditioning at this hotel and my room reached 26° by the middle of the night. The window hardly opens to allow air in and I wasn’t offered a fan. Even the cleaner said in the morning that she wanted to clean the rooms on the other side of the corridor as ‘my side’ were too hot to work in. My bathroom stank of ‘damp washing’ from the shower curtain.

Something of a mixed bag in our experience of this Premier Inn.

What they did well:
Clean, comfortable bedroom and bathroom.
Ample car parking.
Staff kindly let us work in the breakfast room after checkout time.
Staff were friendly and helpful and did apologise for the restaurant closure and did suggest alternative restaurants to drive to.

What they did not do well:
Accepted my evening meal deal booking less than a couple of weeks before my stay. Whitbread had already sold the restaurant, and it was closed on the evening of my stay. Did get a refund but severely inconvenienced my stay, especially as this Premier Inn is in the middle of nowhere with no other restaurants nearby. After a 4 hour drive to reach the hotel I was left with nowhere to get a proper evening meal.

At breakfast most of the hot food items had run out. The chef was clearly not monitoring what was running low and cooking more to replenish the buffet.

Would I stay there again? No, not now I know there is a Mercure just around the corner.

Lovely friendly staff, very accommodating and beds really comfortable. We checked in very late but was no problem at all

We stayed to go and see the Gladiators at Sheffield Arena with two kids. the staff were freindly and couldn't do enough for you. The room was spacious and clean with everything we need

Perfect stay. We love the new breakfast room, food was really tasty and the staff were really really freindley. The rooms was great with everything we needed

New breakfast room is excellent and shout out to Glyn whose attentive service was just lovely.
The room was clean and bed comfortable as always and great service in reception area too.i always stay here when working in the area. Great Premier Inn

We always stay here when visiting family. Never had any problems. Pleasant staff and a great breakfast to start the day.

Food and drink package disaster,made to have what was left after stock run down.Package should have been cancelled before hand.

We stayed for just one night June 21st 2025. The lady on reception ( NUSTRAT ) went above and beyond to make our stay as relaxing as possible. My Husband and I had been on an Emmerdale Tour which was very tiring due to the excessive heat. Nustrat gave us some lovely cool water and a fan to cool us down a bit. Her friendliness will not be forgotten. Thank you Nustrat for making our stay so pleasurable. x I do hope our thanks are passed on to her....

Very friendly reception team who are always on hand to help, no complaints about our stay whatsoever. Needed to change our room because the bed was too small for us and it was done with ease. Rooms are fully equipped with everything you could need, we didn’t use the restaurant on site but the menu looked lovely.

Staff were excellent. Room was quiet, bed was very comfy and the 5 star review was totally deserved. Check in was very easy from the friendly staff and as we were exhausted from the day, it was welcome to see the deep bath .lots of tea and coffee was supplied in the room and in reception. A short walk to the pub next door for a meal or drink. Great stay.

The greatest asset of the Premier Inn at Tankersley is its staff. They are
without exception efficient, friendly, helpful, smiley and kind. Jackie was our receptionist during our latest stay and, as my husband is disabled and an accessible room was not available, she organised all our luggage to be taken from the car up to our room. The bedroom and bathroom were spotlessly clean and though it clearly could do with an upgrade, the bathroom especially, all the amenities were there and they all worked.

Breakfast at the on site Brewers Fayre was a bit disappointing. The plates for the cooked breakfast are never warm enough so that by the time you have finished eating, items such as mushrooms, tomatoes etc are stone cold. Such a pity that the 'cooked to order' breakfast has been discontinued; the plates and the food were always hot then.

Also the front of the coffee machine is quite dirty and needs a good clean as does the hot water machine next to it...

Recently stayed for a competition in Sheffield. Just what we needed for a quick one night away. Great staff on welcome and they had water out because it was warm and offered us a sheet instead of a duvet which was a nice touch. Room was clean and breakfast was nice

We stayed for 2 nights and had dinner both nights - I had read the previous reviews and asked for a quiet room upstairs at the back - we were in room 50 something and although far from reception - it was nice and quiet. We were greeted by friendly and helpful staff and all staff that we met were very helpful. Dinner in the attached Brewers Fayre was the usual - not spectacular but will keep you alive!! Breakfast was good and plenty of choice.

Stayed here travelling with family. Checked in was quick and no problems.

Got 2 rooms for the 4 of us and the first thing we had to do was stand on the bed and whipe the multiple cobwebs on the wall over the bed, really visible so I'm really gob smacked how cleaners missed them....there was alot and we had to do both rooms. The room looked very tired all over and I dare not lift back sheets to check mattress after seeing the room.

The bathroom was same....old and tired and not the cleanest. Toilet marks in one toilet...leave that to your imagination.

On the carpet in the room was a large red stain...looked like blood so we spent the time in the room constantly wearing shoes wherever we went.
Ate food in restaurant next door, staff nice but food awful

1 stars as bed was comfy.

Unless the hotel has a refurbished would deffinitley not stay here again unfortunately.

My company always books me in here and i wont go anywhere else.. Breakfast staff know me and the receptioinst always puts me in the room i like on the first floor the parking is free ad the bars always open. so happy days for me when im away for work
