    There was nothing exceptional about this hotel, the rooms were standard and the breakfast average so I do not understand why they charge so much, especially as the breakfast was extra.

    The location was good.

    The rooms are dated and could do with a makeover.

    The hotel inside was nice, had a gym and a swimming pool. Pool was small but myself and i had it to ourselves for over an hour which was nice. Excellent location and had parking which was chargeable.

    Nothing much. I only stayed one night on this occasion, and so can't report anything about facilities such as the gym, but all my needs were fully met.

    The location was very convenient for an arrival by train (just follow your nose directly across the road from the station, it's five minutes ahead of you). It is also very convenient for all the amenities and attractions of central Sheffield. The room was spacious and well appointed, with separate bath and shower. I enjoyed the cooked breakfast, which was self-service from all the expected items you'd expect.

    Breakfast was unfortunately disappointing. Buffet was at best warm. As a vegetarian no consideration given by other guests when using tongs/spoons between meat and non meat items so didn’t have cooked offer. No non milk for cereal ie oat or almond.

    Room was a good size for 3 adults. Liked the door between room and main door, buffered noise of corridor. Location was excellent, central to restaurants & City Hall.

    The staff could be friendlier. I was waiting for some bar staff one night. Is this worth £105 a night without the pool. No.

    The pool and the location were amazing.

    Looks like they knew about that problem with the tv and that we were unable to comnect it to our phones stating that a few tvs in the hotel had that problem. Although no solutions was given

    Lovely room, big and clean. Pool is warm . Staff was nice when I told them it was my partner's boyfriend and they brought us some little cakes and a note.

    Room was crazy hot for time of year with no way to adjust and opening a window is just too noisy. Price of Breakfast is the most expensive I have seen at a hotel, so did not have breakfast there.

    Staff were super friendly, Pool was really nice. Room a good size. Good location and very secure Car Park.

    A bit more information in the rooms about room service/food availability. We didn't quite understand the app and failed to get room service in time. A bit more info about how to access the pool as well. Not many channels on tv.

    Lovely hotel. Nice comfortable room. Well located hotel. Lovely warm swimming pool and facilities. Amazing breakfast with GF and non-dairy options. Lots of useful extras and Nespresso machine in room a nice touch.

    99.9% of the staff are absolutely phenomenal, especially in the restaurant. The restaurant manager makes you feel like you are a vip. But, we had a weird experience upon departure. We had to leave a day early because my 10 year old son became quite ill. On our way out I stopped at reception to let them know. The receptionist blankly said “okay”. Didn’t express sympathy or ask if there was anything they could do. Then, because we are frequent guests, I messaged the property via Booking.com to ask if they’d be willing to give us a small voucher towards a future stay. They never replied. Fine if they refused the request, but to never reply is not cool. Great place, but really let down by the way they dealt with this situation.

    The property is great. The pool, although sometimes a little dirty, is overall very nice.
