Sheffield Metropolitan Hotel by Belvilla

The hotel is situated by Sheffield Quays and is 10 minute walk to the city centre. We paid £130 for a room on a Saturday night. Parking £10 night, They wanted another £25 for the dog which is double what most hotels charge. Breakfast is £10/head extra. All these extra charges does NOT make this a budget hotel Parking is not strainght forward. - there ae 7 allocated slots at the front of the Hotel that are usually full. NCP is at the back of the hotel but you have to walk through where the cars enter the building, as the pedestrian entrace would not recognise the ticket. Check in was easy enough without a queue. The room was spacious with a comfortable bed. but the bathroom extractor did not work, The shower head was damaged and would only operate on very hot. There is no Aircon so this room so it would be stifiling in the summer. However we were situated by the fire door that banged most of the night with noisy guests using it. I would rate this hotel at Mid 3 stars

I was honestly a bit nervous about staying here, mainly because I'm a solo female traveller so staying anywhere unfamiliar is a little nerve wracking but also because of a few bad reviews. I stayed overnight as I was going on a long hike and needed somewhere to stay so I wasn't travelling back too late. The hotel held my luggage before check in then promptly handed it back when I was ready to check in, and they even held it again after check out so I could explore the city luggage free before my coach home. I was pleasantly surprised that I was on the top floor, as I am a big fan of the views and of quietness. They also had a couple of extras in the mini fridge for me for free and said it was an upgrade, maybe because I'm a new customer, but either way, it was a nice surprise. The shower didn't work, or at least, I couldn't figure it out, but the bath taps ran so I had a bath instead which was fine, the hot water ran which is all I needed after a long hike. For a three star hotel, I was pleased with everything and it was all clean. I didn't sleep the best as I was so nervous being on my own which is a shame because the beds were so comfy and the room was so big. As I plan to come to Sheffield again, I'd definitely rebook Great Western Hotel, in the hopes every room was like this one, and knowing there is nothing to worry about, so I'll sleep soundly. Thankyou!

Close to the city, really accessible

Staff friendly

Great location in the city centre, just a short walk to most venues.
