Strong smell of damp, room 15.
Pros:

Staff were friendly enough. Had an issue with my breakfast being included in the morning as the staff who confirmed my stay didn't add it on my work allowance, which is frustrating to explain this in the morning.

The room, room 15, absolutely stinks of damp. It is so bad that all clothes, even unworn, needed to go straight in the wash when I got back as the smell as seeped into it.

Room was clean, breakfast was fine.

But won't stay here again due to the damp smell in my room.

If only all of the British service industry was like this!
Pros:

I stayed at this hotel last night. It really was exceptional! The Staff Paul, Lauren, Martin and Chef - name I didn’t get - were simply brilliant. Polite, friendly, professional and very helpful and funny. I’d had a very stressful business day and they made my evening relaxing and enjoyable.

Very mixed. Good rooms upstairs but grotty downstairs and staff v mixed
Pros:

Hard to write a review as such a mixed experience. The upgraded rooms a re good and quiet but (deliberately) not perfect. When they are at a reasonable price they are value but the price at this hotel varies massively due to events at the arena across the road.

On this occasion finding a parking space was near impossible as they use the hotel for event parking. Once inside you have to wait for bar staff to finish talking as they double as receptionists for the hotel. No problem with this when they are pleasant but the lad on Wednesday night was miserable, condescending and borderline rude. The ticketing for the car park went working so you have to pay online which is a faff.

The entrance and bar is scruffy and unwelcoming.

The premier rooms are a good upgrade on the standard ones and i like them apart from one thing. They deliberately reduce water pressure to save money but it means the shower experience is dreadful and it takes about 10 mins to fill the sink to shave.

All that said the top floor is very quiet, the beds are very comfy and you can get a decent sleep.

Lovely staff make a great stay.
Pros:

The room was very comfortable but it is the team at the hotel that make it a pleasure to stay. Always helpful and friendly...even when I asked if they could have a gentle word with the person in the room above due to how loud they had the base turned up on their music, they gently informed me that the sound was coming from a practice session in the arena!! Oh well, we are from down south so please don't judge us too harshly 😄.
The food was excellent too. Thank you and your fantastic staff for a fabulous stay. John and Sue Hoade

The best staff at any Premier inn we've ever been too
Pros:

We've stayed at many premier inn in the last 15yrs. But this beats the lot, the reception guy was extremely welcoming and was so quick at sorting out our room to stay

We opted for meal deal upgrade he asked what time we said 5pm.. We walked in to dining room nothing was too much trouble for the young lady serving us. The food choice maybe could of been a little better, Nachos aren't the best.
But it was quick considering they started to get fuller quickly. As everyone like is was there was Katy Perry live at the arena here.

The room gets warm, but stick the air con on and it soon gets cool again

Next morning breakfast was pretty much the same, swift,attentive and great food

I told the staff at reception as we left just how good they are. I've written to the ceo many times of how crap Premier inn can be. But this hotel is a one off, and should be the blueprint for all
future Premier inn staff

Take a bow Premier Inn Sheffield Arena👏👏👏

Great Service as usual
Pros:

Great service room was great and bed very comfortable. We always book meal deal definitely value for money and they considered my mobility issues and gave me a room on the ground floor with a shower. If anything but only a small thing it would be nice to have had streaming channels on the TV or be able to cast my phone to the TV but not a major issue. We have stayed here 4 times this year and wouldn't stay anywhere else for concerts at the arena

Quiet and relaxing two night stay!
Pros:

We had a two night stay here, 12 - 14 September, including meals, breakfast and dinner. We arrived early, were able to book the van in the carpark and then went for an area explore.
The room was large and clean. very quiet!
The food was great, same chef all three days, who did a great job. Dinner was very relaxing and quiet, a big thank you to Kieran who looked after us the two nights,
Only one slight niggle the shower head leaked a lot and needs replacing, Rm2.

Will stay here again when in the area.

very good accommodation
Pros:

We stayed for 2 nights for a long weekend to visit places in Peak District. Our stay was very comfy, the room was clean, silent and large enough for 3 of us. 3£ parking for a night was really nice which can be done on a kiosk panel in the reception easily. The stuff was very helpful and kind. The breakfast is absolutely worth to book rather than wondering around to find a place to eat, I think.
