Cheap and cheerful, make it yourself cereal and toast breakfast, if you want a cheap base in Sheffield this is fine. Nicecquiet location on the end of a small street in a nice neighbourhood

Checked in and out again within 30 minutes. Entrance was unwelcoming and untidy, “reception “ was a back office / junk tip. Room was small, dark and windows dirty, and insecure. Right next to smoking area. Someone was outside talking loudly on their phone - conversation not particularly savoury. Kitchen less than clean . No shower on ground floor, where room was, and ground floor toilet had a laundry / cleaning product pile in the area before the loo. Upstairs ( dirty stair carpet) loo was clean but toilet paper has to be put in the bin so even the plumbing was substandard. Didn’t feel safe so checked out. Have since repeatedly emailed to request refund ( have asked for one day , not both) but have had no response. Will phone and then Dispute the payment with my credit company. Staff member very pleasant but unable to explain where nearest tram stop was or how to call a taxi. Shocking. I’ve stayed in back pockets and hostels all over the world and this is absolutely the worst I’ve been to. Don’t waste your money

The whole place felt grimy, in with everything worn down and stains all.on the carpet. Not a tourist hostel, more of a half way house. Good.location near the tram stop and some free breakfast, but one of the worst.places I've ever stayed.

Had to be switched to another room due to loud heating pipe in room 1, but switch couldn't happen until the next day so I couldn't sleep the first night. Staff was prompt and helpful though. Be aware, this hostel is up a very steep hill which makes it tricky for those with lower mobility. The bed I was in was also quite firm so wasn't comfortable for me since I have joint issues. Bed was also right next to a radiator so it was very dehydrating for me. Otherwise it was a good spot, spent 4 nights

For the price, i thought this was quite bad to be honest. The staff were excellent and helpful, the best thing about the place. I was in the girl's dorm... the bed itself was clean and had fresh bedding, which was good. But in general, the place was filthy...i lost my keys down the back of the bed, there was loads of stuff stored under it that looked like it had been there for ages, shoes etc.. this meant i couldn't reach underneath... when i managed to get my hand behind the bed, it was filled with dust, dirt and cobwebs and old socks and things. I went for breakfast, they had soya milk and lots of cereals ("goody" I thought)..i poured out some cereal and whilst eating, discovered many black hairs in the food. Honestly, disgusting... at that point i gave up and made an exit. This hair was probably just the result of another guest, but it's the first time in my life I've experienced anything like this in a hostel (and I've been to hundreds). I wouldn't mind paying a tenner for this kind of hostel, but certainly not almost 30 quid; it's just not worth it.

It's a hostel so manage your expectations accordingly. That said the staff were very helpful and friendly. There is plenty of unrestricted parking in the area if you have a car. You're not far from the tram or bus stops, and it's only about 30 mins walk into town. There's washing machines, a decent kitchen/communal area. The shared toilet was clean (yay). The WiFi was good enough to get some work done. There was a bit of coming and going in the night but I had a decent sleep. Compared with something like a Travelodge this is superb value for money for folks on a budget.

They could have warned us that it was up a really steep hill. Also there was some maintenance work being carried out, so the women's dorm was closed off when I arrived but apart from that it was rather comfortable and very good value for money.

Friendly staff. Flexible with check-ins which was helpful. The hostel and showers were was warm, despite weather outside being miserable and 2 degrees all weekend. Not a bad price, but not great considering the 25+ min walk from city centre, and quite low quality service. Cleanliness in room and showers wasn't great. Toilets not stocked with toilet paper, and kitchen quite limited on supplies and plates/cutlery. The "continental breakfast" is actually just stale cereals, and very limited amount of bread and milk. Quite noisy, even by hostel standards. The walk from the city centre to the hostel is fairly easy in about 30 mins, but goes through some parts of the city with limited street lights and no little passing traffic at night, so not sure I'd be comfortable doing it alone.

Loved this hostel. Lots of people from different countries. The hostel is warm and homely. And very welcoming. I’ve booked another stay there. It’s not all swish and new, in fact it’s a bit tired in places, but it’s a lovely place to stay.

I have to say I stayed here for two nights whilst I was waiting for keys to my property and I had a single for the first night but had to move a dorm second. The single was lovely really comfortable and no complaints at all. The dorm was a bit more a mission all the people were lovely, but that’s what you get in a dorm, staff were amazing really helpful at all times.

Not really a great experience. No reception service as highlighted on site. Too noisy with other costumers shouting in the middle of the night and early morning. Low standards of cleaning. Self service breakfast with just cereals and bread. No milk. Fridges disgusting. Plates and cutlery left on sink to be washed. Basically you help yourself with everything and you end up cleaning staff to be able to use. Not recommended at all. Pricy for the quality and services offered.

I had four days work in nearby Wentworth and choice this location for the price. It not luxurious, but fulfilled my wished for a clean, comfortable refuge after a hard day's work. The concierge was most helpful and easy free parking just round the corner. I'd go again.
