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.

Average

I never leave bad reviews, but this was booked as a treat for my son's graduation and we wanted a bit of a treat. Long queue for check in, so waited at the bar instead. No staff appeared, waiited for 10 mins crockery piled up on the tables. Asked member of staff, they located bar manager and we got served. Checked in at 3.45, our rooms still weren't ready. They found us alternative rooms, went up, ours was ready but our son's room still hadnt been cleaned. Luckily he didnt need it straight away. We didnt say anything as it wasnt really an issue as he was heading out. Our room was very clean, but sound of a fan outside meant we couldnt open the window, on one of the hotest days of the year. Went for another drink, still piles of dirty glasses everywhere. A new member of staff arrived and was horrified at the state of it and set to tidying. Breakfast at 6am, no one there, lights off, ok it was only a 15 min wait, but we needed an early get away. Breakfast good, marking of vegan and non vegan sausages would be helpful. Theres nothing inherently bad about this hotel, its just woefully understaffed, needs renovating and many of the staff there just shouldn't be in hospitailty. They're just not interested in you having a good stay! Checkout summed it up, no asking of whether you had a good stay, just took the key card and gave a half hearted smile. If youre after an average stay in an average hotel with mainly lack lustre staff then this is a great place to stay.

Very disapointed, the worst 2 nights sleep ever

The room was unbearably hot. I appreciate that there was a heat wave, but the rooms and hallways have zero active cooling and the windows bearly open. So even as it cools outside at night, the hotel does not. I asked the reception why they could not do anything about this and was just told there was a fan. Mobile aircon units in the hallways, would have had a significant effect to cool the hotel, but the management take no action. I wont be staying there again.

Shame

We regularly visit Sheffield and normally don't have any issues. It is our go-to hotel and we rarely stay anywhere else. We booked an 'Executive Room' and of all the rooms we've stayed in over the years (Executive and Standard), it had the smallest, most horrible shower that was moldy and didn't drain properly. On top of this, after having settled in and showered, I made my way to the loo. What I found there was disgusting. There was a smear of feces on the front of the toilet that had to have been completely unmissable for the cleaning staff but somehow was missed! In any other scenario where I hadn't already unpacked, etc. I would have demanded to switch rooms but, in this case I phoned down to reception. Someone came up straight away and the proceeded to minimise the issue stating they had expected something 'horrible'. I'm sorry. Someone else's feces (a good inch) stained in what should have been my clean, comfortable room is pretty horrible to me. He then proceeded to tell me he'd be using the toilet paper and a splash of water from my sink (further into the room where my husband was watching TV in his shorts) to 'clean' it. I politely asked if he could use some antibacterial spray or something of the like. He agreed that would be better and returned 5 minutes later with paper napkins from the restaurant and a spray bottle which I assume was some type of cleaner. An apology and that's it. The mess was cleaned but, honestly? I'm not sure we'll be back. Disappointing.

the hotel is attractive and the rooms appear pleasant. however a lack of air con during hot weather and a general "shrug your shoulders" attitude from staff was unhelpful. whether you advertise your rooms with aircon or not, you still have to provide some compensation (free hydration for eg!) for guests who are boiling hot in hotel rooms...staff were well meaning and some were great but generally need better training to deal with issues as they arise. rooms are also a bit tired in some areas and lobby and bar area inconvenient for working guests - few plug points and poorly designed layout next to large glass windows that reflect on your screen.
