It’s what it says on the tin, basic.
Pros:

Cheap
Had an ironing area off the breakfast room
Close to the ice rink

Cons:

There were marks and dents all round the room. You could hear banging noises late into the night, possibly kids jumping off beds.
Need to take your own tea and coffees, and collect a kettle from reception if you want a hot drink.
Elevator was sooo slow

Clean, cheap and great location to arena
Pros:

Location to Sheffield Arena is brilliant . Prob around 400m away. Also cinema, laser quest , crazy golf and places to eat very close by.
Room is tidy and clean. Basic but it’s an Ibis budget so it says what it does on the tin.

Cons:

The bunk bed is not for an adult. Getting up to it and out of it …. Is a task that has my wife in stitches , we didn’t want our young daughter sleeping up there as she moves all over the place in her sleep.

Pros:

Location was good.

Cons:

Limited parking inside and outside. Toilets and showers released a bad smell through out we had to sleep with the window open. We paid a lot for what we got. Wouldn't stay again for that price. I had stayed in ibis many times this was the worst probably due to the fact I paid over £50 per night for it.

Acceptable for use of Sheffield Arena/ Ice Rink
Pros:

The location is excellent for Sheffield Arena. Air Conditioning was usable (Barely a benefit) but seemed old/ dirty.

Cons:

The hotel was generally very run down. Room didn't seem clean. The rooms toilet and shower were difficult to access (e.g. Handles weren't clear on how to use, signage on doors confusing), beds were uncomfortable (really thin) and could feel the frame. Sink was in the room instead of the toilet room. The advertised flat screen was tiny (approx 14 - 16 inch). Food was pricey despite being a microwave meals and breakfast didn't give many choices and seemed poor quality.

Worth it for location
Pros:

The microwave and kettle in the foyer was for all guests so great for meals.
Great location for the arena.
We managed early check in (only 30 mins early but still) as the room was ready.
Decent size carpark £7.95 noon to noon.

Cons:

There were people running up/down and screaming on the corridors on floor 3 from 2am. Nobody came to ask them to be quiet so If carried on for hours.
