This is our Budget pick in Sheffield. It is a 3-star hotel with a guest score of 8.0 out of 10 from 3,544 reviews, the biggest review base of our three Sheffield picks.
It suits theatre-goers, rail travellers and anyone who mostly needs a clean room in a central spot. Family rooms are listed too.
Skip it if you want more than the basics. Its score was the lowest of the 7 properties we compared, and breakfast draws mixed comments.
Location and getting around
The address is Shude Hill, in Sheffield City Centre. Guests rate the location 8.6 out of 10 and say it is a short walk to the centre, the train station, tram stops and nearby parking.
Three sights are close. Crucible Theatre, Sheffield Cathedral and the Cathedral Church of St Marie are each about 0.4 km away, roughly 5 minutes on foot.
Those times are straight-line estimates and have not been checked on the ground, but at this distance they are unlikely to be far off.
What guests say
Cleanliness is the standout. Guests say bedrooms and bathrooms are consistently spotless, fresh and tidy.
Location comes next, with the station, trams and centre all within walking distance according to reviewers.
Breakfast is the weak point. There is a range of hot and cold items, but some guests find it disorganised or bland.
Price and how it compares with our other Sheffield picks
The reference price was €86.17 per night. This is a reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults, not a live quote. Check today's price for your dates.
The Sheffield sample median was €120.39, so this was about 28% below it.
Our Best Value pick, Doubletree By Hilton Sheffield City, was €105.03 with a score of 8.6 and 4 stars. Our Luxury pick, Courtyard by Marriott Sheffield, was €128.23 with a score of 9.1 and 4 stars.
You save about €19 a night against the Doubletree and about €42 against the Courtyard. The trade is one fewer star and a lower score, though this is the most central of the three.
Listed facilities are free Wi-Fi, a restaurant and a 24-hour front desk. Continental, buffet and breakfast-to-go options are listed. Whether breakfast is included in your rate is not confirmed.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 7 eligible properties in Sheffield. The Budget slot goes to the lowest eligible reference price once the upscale choice is set aside, and this hotel had it.
With more than 3,500 reviews, the 8.0 score is also very well supported.
