Top hotels in Brightside
Radisson Blu Hotel, Sheffield
Great location in centre, room decent size and comfortable. Staff polite. Easy parking option pre-bookable nearby. Minor areas for improvement - tv channels didnt work, room a little bit warm and couldn't work out how to reduce temperature thermostat as didnt seem to be responsive. Breakfast later ...

Ringwood Hall Hotel & Spa
Excellent facilities and very clean room. Very quiet. Only downside was radiators on full all night and could not be turned down/off so very hot.

Novotel Sheffield Centre
Amazing room and facilities but no hot water! Reception advised turning all the taps on and leave them running for 10 minutes which seemed unethical... Other than that it was a lovely stay with friendly staff and a clean room.
