Hotels Near Utilita Arena Sheffield in Sheffield

I would highly recommend the Crowne Plaza Victoria for any conference or large-scale event; the team here, in particular Emily Evans, were friendly, outgoing and went above and beyond to ensure that our conference ran smoothly. Before arriving at the hotel, the team was in constant contact with our team to ensure that our delegates rooms were booked, our menu selection for our formal dinner was confirmed and that dietary requirements would be met. Furthermore, after highlighting that some of our delegates would be observing Ramadan, the team not only provided packed breakfasts for these delegates so that they could continue to take part in suhoor, signage was created to highlight where the prayer room would be over the course of our stay. As the Crowne Plaza Victoria is a hotel there will be other guests who have booked their rooms months in advance, once the team realised that we would be six rooms short, the hotel across the road was contacted to enquire whether they had any availability to accommodate our overflow. Once confirmed that they did, all we had to do was inform the team who would be staying at this hotel and their dietary requirements; the fact that the Crowne Plaza was so proactive in providing a solution to a problem we were not aware of was so greatly appreciated and highlighted to us that this was a venue/ team which wanted to ensure that we and our delegates had the best time with them before we had even arrived! In addition to this, the team’s dedication to ensuring that our conference ran smoothly was further highlighted by Emily physically moving the tables all by herself when we realised that the position of certain tables obstructed the view of the presentation. All requests such as; additional labelling for food, temperature control of the main room were completed swiftly, even by hotel staff whom were not directly assigned to looking after us. All the food provided was amazing, whether it was lunch, snacks or the food served at dinner, you could tell that an incredible amount of detail was given. I could not recommend this hotel and team enough!

So after reading other reviews I was a little unsure what to expect after booking this hotel to be honest, however we were pleasantly surprised. We had a double room on the 7th floor which was very roomy, extremely comfortable king size bed, clean and tidy with everything needed (towels, kettle, iron, hairdryer) ample size bathroom which needed a little TLC but again was clean and tidy. Admittedly the let down was the breakfast that was included in the booking, this needs some attention as the food quality isn’t great and defo needs to be warmer with some more choice but all in all, did the job. Last time we stayed in Sheffield we at another hotel that had rooms like rabbit hutches and no windows and this hotel was better and will stay here again for a weekend when we are next in Sheffield

The service is good but the cleanliness is not good. We found the hair on the mattress. And the window could not close.

It worthy booking in consideration of its price and perfect location. The staff is lovely and friendly, and amenities are functional.

You no what you get with Hilton hotels lovely…. From check in to check out was great quality…. Beds and showers wer high end slept well . Breakfast was unbelievable …. Service was class couldn’t fault it in any way…. Would highly recommend any one staying there very enjoyable….

The hotel is beautiful in itself, along with the room too honestly the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in, very welcoming & everything we needed we had the service was efficient however the staff aren’t so efficient when it comes to answering the phone but apart from that it was lush

good service, really nice room & hotel couldn’t think of a nicer hotel in Sheffield to stay in.

It’s my 3rd time staying in this hotel and everything was perfect- the breakfast items are the same everyday, quiet spaces and nice hotel staff.

The Rutland Hotel is conveniently located near to the University of Sheffield. Single rooms are not the best however double room are quite nice having a traditional feeling. However both kind of rooms are newly decorated so the rooms and bathrooms are quite nice. The breakfast is good as they prepare made to order eggs, hash browns,mushrooms and tomatos. Overall I like it and will plan to stay again.

I booked a luxury spa day for 3 people. This cost £225. I booked this for my Mother’s 50th birthday. Upon arrival today I was disappointed to find that the “spa” were just facilities that were part of the hotel which any guests could access. This meant there were children tearing around, diving into the pool, unsupervised. This doesn’t fit the brief of “luxury” and it was not relaxing. The children were under 16 and were not supervised at all times. This meant that the pool was not able to be swam in because they were leaping around and playing. They also chewed off chunks of floats (that were provided) that then were just floating around in the pool. When it was time for lunch in your Lakeside View restaurant, we were informed that there was a wedding so we couldn’t eat in there. That would’ve been fine if there was a suitable alternative. There wasn’t. We were sat in what felt like the reception/bar of the hotel. Where wedding guests were milling around, so again, not luxury. The food was not what I had been told it was going to be. I was informed, when I called, it was a tapas style menu. The choices were dire and led to all three of us having a sandwich for lunch. Not really £225 worth for the food we received. Our starters came out after our main meals so we ended up with a table full of plates so there was no room on the table for any movement etc. During our afternoon, a large group of people (members of the public) came in and were behaving in such a way they ended up being told to leave the establishment. There were a few children and teenagers making lots of noise and setting off panic alarms in the changing rooms. They also left the changing rooms in a disgusting state, with towels strewn all over the floor. Overall, I am extremely disappointed with the “luxury” spa day that I booked and paid £225 for. I was looking forward to a relaxing day with my Mother and Grandmother. We received the opposite. I feel it has very much ruined my Mother’s birthday. How can the advertise a “luxury spa day” for us to receive that kind of service! Appalled
