Hotel okay but a bit overpriced even at a discount rate. Recently refurbished but didn't see much evidence of this. Staff pleasant and helpful. Needs an overhaul in furniture and fittings to match other local hotels (107174542)

positive comments Central, breakfast hot, plenty of choice.
negative comments Room and bedroom floor level fumey, possibly from cars/vans. Executive room used but not really in that bracket. Had to recheck on room allocation when first checking in as was given just a double room by mistake. No car parking. Shower quite cantankerous and difficult to work

Chris from Buckingham, GB (Mature couple) 26 February 2008

A clean, comfortable hotel with very friendly staff. All facilities fully adequate and generally very good value for money. Excellent location for city sights, theatres and restaurants. (97555270)

positive comments Excellent location, value for money
negative comments Hopeless instructions to drive to it. Very easy to find from ring road, but impossible to find through the city streets. Breakfast in restaurant was much better than when served in the bar.

Kay from Wakefield, GB (Group of adult friends) 14 February 2008

I have no complaints about this hotel- the staff were so helpful when I got lost in the city centre en route, and the room was very comfortable with a lovely big bathroom. The bar is open late and the place has a lovely relaxing atmosphere. I wasn't able to take advantage of breakfast sadly, but I will next time I visit! (97544229)

positive comments Lovely room- the huge bed was very impressive! Wished I could have stayed in it longer!

Site states some parking on site but in reality there isn't - reliant on nearby NCP which is very busy. (97450559)

positive comments Clean room, good reception service. Room reasonably appointed, good TV reception and free WIFI.
negative comments No cold water for 1st 30 minutes! No car parking & nearest NCP was full so had to pay £11.50 to park overnight. Service at breakfast was poor. Carpet on stairs threadbare. WIFI was on unsecured site.

Norbert from Budapest, HU (Solo business traveller) 26 October 2007

The hotel is situated near to the heart of the city, with close access to the railway station and the public transportation. The interior of the room shows an interesting mixture of the nice new furnitures and the old, very used carpets, bathroom. The room is tried to keep clean, but the general appearance has a 'ready-to-refurbishment' feeling. (97714370)

positive comments The performance of the hotel staff was really excellent. There was a big LCD TV in the room. The bed was comfortable.
negative comments There was a door between the next room and mine, so the noise insulation was zero. The condition of the bathroom was quite poor. The washstand was outside of the bathroom. The breakfast area was quite limited considering the number of the rooms in the hotel.

The standard of the hotel was probably OK for the price charged in the centre of Sheffield but it would be difficult to recommend it as somwewhere enjoyable to stay -particularly because of the external noise (97478543)

positive comments The helpfulness of the staff
negative comments The disturbing external noise of lorries in the early hours

Replace the worn stair carpet - it looks very bad to have frayed carpet in such a public area! (99022697)

negative comments Probably because of the central location I found it quite noisy. Cars tooting horns, garbage trucks in the early hours and street cleaners at 6 am. Did not get much sleep.

Gary from Stourbridge, GB (Solo leisure traveller) 05 May 2007

Staff were pleasant, but seemingly incompetent. Regular staff have no access to 'housekeeping supplies' when houskeeping staff are out of hotel. Ridiculous.I didnt expect the Ritz, but basic supplies should be a minimum, toilet roll and shower gel PLEASE!!! (99484725)

positive comments Breakfast was very good.
negative comments No toilet roll left on 1 eening, no shower gel on another evening. On both occasions I asked staff to provide, both times I was promised and nothing materialised.

As I was looikng for somewhere I could use as a base for visiting friends in Sheffield, Cutlers had everything I needed- a comfortable room, smiling staff, clean bathroom and proximity to transport and shops. I had no occasion to use the bar or restaurant. (99331531)

positive comments It is extremely convenient for central Sheffield. The check-in staff were welcoming and efficient.

The Hotel has recently increased its prices, and is not such good value as it previously was. It is however still one of the cheapest places to stay in Sheffield and the breakfast is excellent. The concessionary fee at the nearby Car Park is valuable ( (99322325)

Car parking drop off at the entrance was tight; parking generally in Sheffield centre was expensive I thought.Convenient position though and glad I chose this one (99965247)

positive comments Pleasant welcoming atmosphere, comfortable clean and tidy. Good breakfast. Helpful and knowledgeable staff
negative comments None for me but my friends at another part of the hotel had music noise keeping them awake - nearby disco I think.

Lynne from Corby, United Kingdom;GB (Group of adult friends) 29 November 2006

The hotel is very close to the car park with drop-off facilities. The room was not quite ready so we checked in and left our luggage at reception. When we returned later, our luggage had been taken to our room. The food was excellent as were the staff. Very close to the city centre shopping area which was ideal as we were Christmas shopping. I have no complaints at all about this hotel or the booking process. (99231838)

positive comments The staff were all friendly and helpful
negative comments The wash basin was in the bedroom area, not in the shower/toilet room

David from Feckenham, United Kingdom;GB (Mature couple) 30 October 2006

This hotel is currently being refurbished and as such you may find some amenities missing. Our room contained no TV or phone although this wasn't really a problem. The room was comfortable and spotless. Although the bathroom could have done with some refurbishment it was clean. The staff are really friendly and helpful. We thought that this was very good value for money when you consider that breakfast is thrown in (and the food quality was good. The only real downside is the amount of external noise which started at 4:00am and got gradually worse unitl about 7:30. To be fair though this is not the hotel's fault and there is probably little they can do about it other than talk to the local council. If you've got a heavy day infront of you then this hotel is probably not for you. Otherwise give it a go it's worth the money. (99864529)

positive comments Friendly helpful staff, good value for money.
negative comments bathroom needs refurbishment.

We were made very welcome and it is obviously a hotel used for visitors to the local theatres which are only 3 minutes walk away. We didnot realize how near it was to the local High Street, which is very busy, but suprisingly the area was not as noisy as you would expect for a town centre hotel. (3304920585)

positive comments A good friendly hotel in an excellent position for shopping, theatres and public transport.
negative comments We visited at a very hot time of the year and the room was very uncomfortable with no fresh air or air conditioning.

The room was grubby and smelt stale. The shower did not work and the water was alternately cold or boiling. The room was hot and stuffy and it was not possible to open the window more than a fraction. The colour was a lurid yellow. There was a huge uproar at 5:00 am (with the simple emptying of bins?) that lasted minutes and woke everyone on that side of the hotel. On the other hand the staff were pleasant and most helpful (3304871993)

positive comments The central location. The foyer and staircase were pretty.

Overall, the hotel requires updating. Dated decor etc. Did not use the bar but the downstairs bistro for breakfast can accommodate about 50 people, not good for a hotel with that many rooms. We had breakfast at 09:00 and the staff could not cope with the numbers. There was a long wait for the food and many orders appeared to be getting mixed up (3304675389)

positive comments Central, easy to find
negative comments Room in need of decoration/updating. Poor bathroom facilities, toilet did not flush properly
