Generally praised as very clean and modern in rooms and public areas; some reports of grotty leisure-centre changing rooms and occasional missed room cleaning unless requested.

Staff frequently described as friendly, attentive and helpful (made a fuss of children, resolved issues); however there are consistent notes of understaffing (especially at breakfast) and limited visibility of staff at times.
Location
8.6
Multiple guests called the location great, convenient and near amenities (canal views mentioned).

Amenities
7.5
Strong amenities (pool, gym, spa, sauna/steam room) are a highlight, but issues include pool crowding, a pool full of men in one report, tired/choppy changing rooms, ongoing refurbishment and occasional broken equipment (coffee machine).
Value for Money
7.5
Mixed views: several guests called the stay fantastic value for the price, while others felt it was a bit expensive for what it offers (noting pricey breakfast and some missing extras).
Food and Beverage
8.3
Restaurant and tavern food received strong praise (some described it as superb) and bar cocktails were popular; breakfast quality, price and service received a number of complaints.
Overall Experience
8.2
Overall stays were mostly positive and enjoyable with many guests wanting to return; recurring negatives (noise, understaffing at times, cleaning/maintenance issues) tempered otherwise strong impressions.

Stressful incorrect parking fine. Great location, lovely room, front of house could be friendlier.
Pros:

It’s a nice hotel, great location, good views, quieter part of Sheffield to relax

Cons:

Reception staff seemed quite cold. I was waiting for a while to check in. Could be a bit more friendly honestly as it’s the first impression to the hotel.
Main problem was I got incorrectly fined, although I paid for the parking. Stressful and inconvenient.

Great Stay and would definitely visit again.
Pros:

We stayed in a Twin Room which had Two DoubleBeds. Very Modern. Shower was Excellent, TV had all of the terrestrial channels! We used the Pool/Sauna/Steam Room. Rington's Tea/Coffee/Biscuits in room were a nice touch. Local markets in Victoria Quays right outside on weekends!

Cons:

Spa Facilities were a bit dated but did the job. Room did not have AC but a Fan was provided in the room.
