ibis budget Sheffield Arena 2 stars

Stayed for skating competition. Great room and rate for all that was needed

well located as we went to watch the boxing show at Sheffield arena

Staff helpful. Room good. Only disappointment was no bbc channels available on tv. Not end of the world but on the night of the England match pretty disappointing.

Booked room for £30, had to re-arrange due to covid and rip off IBIS wanted £175 for the same room, shocking.

The room was small which we expected but there was an awful smell in the room that smelled like sewage. Definitely not what we expected at a time during covid where everything should have smelled like cleaning products. The breakfast was ok but again not what we expected, when we paid online it showed pictures of a cooked breakfast. Asian males hanging around in the car park also was intimidating for guests.

Rooms were clean. However, this stay was originally booked for the JLS concert and the room was not worth £127 which you previously quoted us for the new October dates this is why we stayed here this weekend as we won’t be paying the ridiculous prices considering the rooms were basic.

Hotel was clean and tidy in customer areas and adhered to Covid guidelines / Social distance guidelines. The room was small but perfectly proportioned however there was a layer of thick dust on the wires under the TV. Was surprised that there was not a kettle / tea and coffee in the room (we are in Britain and we do love a cuppa!) however perhaps that was my fault for not reading through full room details on the website. Parking was cheap however was surprised that after paying could end up without a space as not reservable. Hotel was well placed next to Arena, retail park and 1 mile from Meadowhall.

Staff excellent. All perfect. Wasn’t happy with the pricing process. It looked like I could have saved a few pounds if I’d booked a day earlier or waited until I arrived.

The room was clean and everything was ok

Checked in, staff seemed pleasant, room was comfortable enough (with the possible exception of the shower). Left without issue.

Room was clean and spacious. Bathroom was ok.

Good and expected. Friendly staff.

I Had to wait outside by the gate for 30-40 mins before I was finally able to get in to the hotel i had already checked in to because the gate was closed and my phone battery was completely discharged so I was unable to ring the hotel reception to and when I was finally able to get through to the hotel reception the hotel receptionist came outside and opened the gate and told me to to walk under the carpark barrier instead of raising up the carpark barrier

It is a collective joke with friends and colleagues about having to book an Ibis Budget room. The room is like a prison cell, there is little personal space with a translucent shower door and the breakfast...... We had a milk carton, a very tired apple, butter and jam but no bread to put it on. Coffee was like dishwater. I would say this is nothing new and we all know what to expect when we book.

Cheap as chips. Everything very clean as always. COVID safe. Asked for extra pillows this time which helped but have to say that the bed was very uncomfortable. But you get what you pay for so can’t really grumble too much.
