ibis budget Sheffield Arena 2 stars

Having used the online check I was in my room within minutes of arrival. Check out was equally efficient. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The room, whilst basic, was very good value and the bed was comfortable, ideal for an unexpected overnight stay in Sheffield. The hotel is very well served by the supertram, and facilitating easy travel into the centre of Sheffield and the railway station. The bus service is less than ideal but unnecessary because of the proximity of the tram stop. As I was on my own I found the less than 10 minute walk from the tram stop a little intimidating at 11.15 pm at night, as it requires walking through quiet paths and a lane beside the Arena and another building, although it is well lit.

Booked for an overnight stay before an event. Pleasantly surprised. Generally quiet, good location, comfortable.

So I booked a twin room for £135 for one night, which I thought was a tad to expensive for a budget hotel. The beds were hard and uncomfy. In fact they were so uncomfy both me and my friend only got about 2 hours of sleep despite been warn out from a gig. The toilet and shower was separate but there was no extra room to get changed. Didn't pay extra for the food so I can't comment on that. I would definitely avoid staying here as this is by far the worst B&B I have visited and will not visit an Iris hotel again.

used the hotel for a night out and a hockey game. served its purpose, could have had a bigger bin as we had quite a bit of rubbish.

Comfortable room really close to where I needed to be

Very bad room, very uncomfortable no customer service

Not stayed at an Ibis before so was a little surprised at the room lay out. Once I adjusted however, I found it comfortable and adequate for my needs. Would have liked some shower gel but given the price I can’t complain. Continental breakfast was good and set me up for the day. Beds was more comfortable than a Premier Inn. I will definitely consider Ibis again.

Reception staff was very friendly. Everything else was as expected

A very comfortable night's sleep. Close to Arena and tram connection to the city. Last tram home around 11.30

Excellent for studying ,praying,meditation.Clean environment,good customer service.

Had a problem with shower head. Poor water flow. Reported to reception before breakfast, got back to room after breakfast, problem sorted!!!

2nd stay at this hotel. It has everything you need for a short stay. Perfect for Sheffield Arena.

Express check in is in no way faster. The floor in our room was dirty. There was no hot water. There was a bed.

Checked in late with my two children, was given room 112. Check in was fine, Seb was cheerful as always. Once in the room and the children were in pyjamas and in bed I discovered none of the lighting controls around the bed worked. In fact the only lights that worked was the one in the toilet, shower and around the sink. This was really inconvenient as once the kids were asleep I couldn't put any softer lighting on. The only option was either darkness or the big bright light in the shower and sink area. Was too late to go down and change rooms as the children had got into bed so ended up in darkness. I reported it to reception in the morning. I know it's not an expensive hotel, but you would expect the basics to work or the room to be checked prior to checking someone in.

An overall pleasant stay that met with most of our needs Room price can be a little bit deceptive with having to pay for tea and coffee not provided in rooms and parking Bed linen basic and towels could be larger and of better quality, however a small gripe and didn’t impact too much on our stay The young Portuguese girl on reception was a delight and extremely helpful
