Enjoyable stay.

Had some food from the bar menu and enjoyed it. Bar service a little slow with one pint poured badly. Service improved as the evening went on. Room was very comfortable although tv looked like it was about to fall off the wall. Aircon was working thank god. Breakfast was plentiful but a mixture of cool, lukewarm and hot items wasn’t the best but was starving so powered my way through it.

Outstanding stay, excellent food and staff

Recent investment has clearly raised the standard throughout the hotel. Facilities look refreshed and well maintained. Staff were exceptional — friendly, professional and attentive. Some of the best service we’ve experienced; every team member we met went out of their way to help. Evening meal was very good and clearly made from fresh ingredients. My wife and I both had the steak: cooked perfectly and served with proper home‑cooked chips — a real treat. Parking is safe, convenient and easy to access, which made arrival and departures stress‑free. Because of this experience we’ll be visiting Sheffield more often for both leisure and business. Our colleagues and I now plan to use Crowne Plaza Royal Victoria Sheffield as our preferred hotel while working in the city. Highly recommended for quality accommodation, excellent service and reliably good food.

Staff were amazing, food absolutely delicious, thank you to the restaurant manager and Ewan. Unfortunately a few groups were around with limitations to the bar ‘Prom night’, which vastly reduced where to socialise. The elevator is quite small and dated )a new one is in construction). Access for wheelchair/scooter very limited, the doors need to be a both way action, trying to pull a door towards you was a struggle whilst driving the scooter.

We loved staying here! The room was Gorgeous, comfortable, and had everything we needed. There was a high school dance happening and the exciting festivities did not interrupt our stay and the noise level was Very well contained. My elderly parents room was perfect with accommodations for elderly visitors (walk in shower, multiple phones, total accessibility). There was tons of free parking and the exterior was very well maintained. We loved our stay!
