"Spacious room (in modern extension to rear). comfortable beds. Clearly very new. Nice rooftop balcony bar area overlooking the Peace Gardens. Close enough to Q Park Charles Street car park, excellent location for everything in town centre. Check-in/check-out process somewhat cold/functional, service a bit ‘meh’ throughout.

"We stay at this hotel regularly when visiting Sheffield as it is close to our daughter’s accommodation. It’s a bit further to walk from the train station than other hotels but the walk is worth it for the excellent breakfast and friendly staff. Is also close to The Shakespeare pub and Kelham Island for a great pub crawl."

"The property was ideally located for what we needed. It was clean & tidy, the only drawback was the building work going in around the place, it did get quite noisy. Obviously that’s just a temporary situation. The hosts were great & very quick to respond to any queries."
