"Extremely good value stay. The pool was great, the room size impressive, and the staff consistently helpful and kind, even while juggling multiple roles.Refurbishment and cleaning need more attention. There was no chef in the bar so no hot food available, and breakfast was very basic with limited choice. Plug access near the beds could also be improved."

Sandman Signature Sheffield Quays Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Quick and friendly check-in. Easy parking registration. Lovely room but slightly odd lighting. Only 2 very small side lights by the bed and one small lamp in the corner of the desk. No overhead lights. Strange coloured lighting behind the bed. Overall, very dark and not so easy to read or work without natural light. Some construction work started at 6am in the morning outside the hotel with a delivery of a small crane which was very loud and woke me up which wasn't appreciated. Plus sides, comfy, clean bed, and lovely bathroom with walk-in shower. Fridge and big tv. Didn't have breakfast or used the restaurant. Otherwise would recommend."
