fantastic budget hotel!!!
The rooms are quite small but very clean with a double bed (a 3rd bed in some rooms is a bunk that goes over the top of the double bed, I think an adult would struggle slightly but superb for children.) sockets, shower, sink, toilet, tv. There was 3 of us in our room and although the room was small, the 3 of us managed with out any problem.
The hotel on a whole was very clean and tidy and the staff were helpful. We opted for breakfast (nothing cooked) and there was a good selection of drinks too, not just tea and coffee.
The Sheffield Etap is well located for the arena, meadowhall and the stadium. Its close to the M1 motorway and the tram too. There's also a car park which is nearly adequate, but not quite if the hotels fully booked.
The hotel tends to get very busy for sporting events, we stayed for the Sheffield 10K and it was very full. However, the car parking was the only small issue. We parked when we arrived, but having gone out for tea, when we came back we had to park on the road. There was plenty of room for everyone for breakfast though.
I'd say that this is an excellent hotel for a short stop over and works out cheaper than other budget hotels and would definately use again at Sheffield or at one of their other locations. read more
