Good Points: Decor and architechture
Bad Points: Room was very hot, plus someone staying next door to me insisted on slamming their door very loudly periodically during the night meaning i didnt get much sleep.
Further Comments: the only fault i encountered was that i did not receive my morning call, and then was charged for two breakfasts. the staff were friendly and courteous. the hotel itself was lovely.

Good Points: Spacious and quiet
Bad Points: Slightly old fashioned
Further Comments: Quite a nice traditional hotel. Bar price for wine excessive. Food in restaurant at dinner dire-British hotel cuisine at its worst. Goodness knows what the Continental guests thought of it. You wouldn't get away with this in London. Because of this I wouldn't come back.

Good Points: Near my conferrence
Bad Points: Room was so small you could hardly move in it. I booked a twin room for one person to have good space in the room. could not set on chair available as no space to move!! Very poor value for money. Floor boards very squeeky, could hear next door room floor squeeking as well. Sound insulation very poor.
Further Comments: I would have never booked at the hotel if I knew the size and the noise level of the room. the room I stayed in should never be classed as 4 stars. I would put it at less than one star hotel.

Good Points: The hotel is beautiful, an oasis from the part of Sheffield that is run down and dirty. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with extra pillows and crisp clean bedding. The restaurant is staffed with helpful and polite people who serve a delicious meal.
Bad Points: The front desk staff were not very helpful, we had never been to Sheffield and they could not answer our questions about local transportation or things to do. I was also disappointed to have to pay for the use of WiFi service, and the fact that is was not available in the rooms. Finally the smoking in the common areas really distracted from our enjoyment of the hotel. It made the whole reception area stink of smoke.
Further Comments: Overall a beautiful hotel. Clean, bright rooms, wonderful decor and a nice restaurant. Close to the bus and train station, but not a great area to walk around, especially at night. The front desk staff need a bit of training on helping out tourists, even a bus schedule would help, and going non-smoking would do a lot for the ambiance.

Good Points: choice of pillows, clean room,helpful staff.
Bad Points: dull decor, hot room, very squashed en suite, extortionate cost of breakfast
Further Comments: I have stayed at other holiday inns which have been brighter, more lively and included breakfast at a reasonable price. This one did not come across as being a popular place to stay it felt soulless and depressing. For an overnight stay it is clean and adequate, the staff were polite and helpful but I don't think I will return.

Good Points: Accommodation was lovely, clean and nicely set out
Bad Points: There was nothing about the accommodation we disliked
Further Comments: Everything was lovely part from the restaurant which was a disgrace, the service was ridiculous, the waiter didn't even remember what our starter was and there were only two couples dining! The food when it arrived was burnt and tasteless, to behonest that would explain the dead atmosphere in the dining room, obviously that was a sign that the food and service was going to be like it's atmosphere! The only thing you did about it was take the price of one drink each which we had! Very dissapointing!
