Top Doncaster Hotel Reviews

ibis budget Sheffield Arena

ibis budget Sheffield Arena

4/10 Poor
"100% would not recommend. Tiny room, which felt like a prison cell (not that I’ve stayed in one!) sink located next to the bed along with the shower, no separate bathroom. Toilet in a cupboard! Window only opened 1” and no working aircon, just the option of more hot air being blown into an already very hot room, all whilst sleeping on a plastic mattress! Had no option but to leave the window open, which then meant you could hear the very busy road right outside, constant banging and car noise ALL night. Breakfast was very limited, fruit was not at all fresh. I understand it is a budget hotel, but I would recommend paying a little extra and staying elsewhere. The positives were the staff were all very friendly and the hotel was clean. "
