Radisson Blu Hotel, Sheffield
Hotel and room were clean- loved the shower! The only issue but I feel like this is at a lot of hotels was the temperature got too warm at night. Staff was so friendly.

ibis Budget Sheffield Centre St Marys Gate
Needed a room for the night in Sheffield for myself and my 11 year old granddaughter as she was playing in a football tournament . The Ibs was spot on for the job . Clean etc . Only small downside is no offsite parking , but 5 minutes was not a problem to us but maybe others.

WILDES INNS
Room was dated, toilet not flushing properly, leaking from the stack. Colleagues friendly and efficient. Nice walk on footpath to Clowne, and Greenway to Creswell.

Room was really clean and maids were in every day. Carpets in corridors looked very new and clean. Good variety at breakfast.

ibis budget Sheffield Arena
For a budget hotel as it states then yes all good, the only thing I would class as a negative is the additional parking charge that is then charged at check in, which then they only accept card payments no cash on site
