Top The Play Arena Hotel Reviews

Leopold Hotel

8/10 Good

"Only stayed overnight to attend show at city hall which was 4min walk away great location for bar's and city didn't use any of the facilities as was only there overnight room was comfy and clean nut a bit dated there was a lift to rooms which was very helpful as I struggle with stairs check and checkout was very good didn't have food or drink in hotel as we went out to eat before show would stay again"

Halifax Hall

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff. Comfortable, nice rooms. Fresh milk & snacks in a fridge on each floor. A good place to stay especially for Sheffield University."

ibis Budget Sheffield Centre St Marys Gate

8/10 Good

"Clean but austere room, could do with some furniture as it was large but empty and would have liked somewhere to put my clothes and suitcase, same with the bathroom, nothing in there to put your stuff on; small shelf or something would have been fine. Wet room was okay but the floor unfortunately allows the water to flow over to the toilet side and not drain away which was a bit awkward. Good AC, comfy bed. Nice small restaurant with a very basic breakfast, would have liked some veggie options rather than just eggs and beans! Clean and smart. Friendly enough staff."

Novotel Sheffield Centre

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel, good location, room was comfortable but the bed less so."

easyHotel Sheffield

8/10 Good

"Pretty basic hotel but clean and good location. Had a room without a window which wasn't the best but the price reflected that"

voco Sheffield by IHG

8/10 Good

"Good stay. My room was clean and spacious and the location was very central and close to local shops and amenities. The reception staff were friendly and professional."

Radisson Blu Hotel, Sheffield

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in a great location and the rooms were spotless, modern and comfortable. Breakfast was a nit haphazard. Tables were not available and there was no check in so you had to find your own way. The staff were very friendly and tried their best but they were somewhat overwhelmed. Also, there was a power outage on my second morning so no TV or power sockets were available but overall, it was a nice stay."

Jonas Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Quiet, clean, enough parking"

Kingfield Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"Clean property in good location"
