Look elsewhere in city centre Sheffield

On arrival, the car park situation set the tone. The small front section with about a dozen spaces was already full. The pre-arrival email was laughably out of date, talking about events from six months ago, yet failing to mention the crucial detail that beyond a set of unmarked steel shutters lies the actual covered car park. The shutters give every impression of being a service entrance for bins or deliveries, not somewhere guests should drive. Without signage or clear instructions, it was needlessly confusing. I wasn’t the only one left scratching my head. The receptionist on Friday evening was perfunctory at best. Parking is run by a third party and costs £18 a night. I was told that leaving and re-entering would be a “problem” as you must pay at the terminal every time—completely absurd compared to other hotels where you just register your plate once and are then exempt. Breakfast is also £18, but when my family tried to treat me one morning, the hotel couldn’t add it to their room. I was assured it was sorted, yet still charged at checkout. The bar was like a graveyard on Friday night. No air conditioning in the room meant either a stuffy room or city-centre noise through the window. All in all, an underwhelming stay. Poor communication, unhelpful staff, confusing parking, and no atmosphere. I would not stay here again.

Very Dated Rooms

The hotel lobby and bar look nice but the rooms are very dated. The bathroom and toilet are separate which is strange. The bed was rock hard as were the pillows although the room was quiet. It is very convenient but parking is a problem, we had to park in the Q parking which was £23 a day.

The property needs updating and the room is a bit small. However, the bed was extremely comfortable and breakfast was very good, a good variety of food options; fresh fruits, cereal, full English with vegetarian options. And a lovely swimming pool. The property is in the heart of town so plenty of nightlife. The train station is within walking distance and the university is right there. One major downside is the car park… better to use one nearby, a lot cheaper too.

Tired hotel. Look elsewhere.

Everything about this hotel is tired. The reception staff seem disinterested. The rooms are still plastered in 1970 s wood chip. There are no USB ports for charging. The air con is rudimentary. The breakfast is limited. The location is convenient but that's about the only positive I can add.
