Our stay at this hotel was disappointing from the start. Upon arrival, we struggled to locate the hotel as it had changed names from “The Metropolitan” to “Best Western”—something we should have been informed of in advance. After walking around trying to find it, we had to ask in another hotel for directions, which was frustrating and not the best start to our trip. Once we checked in, we were given a room with a connecting door to the next room. Unfortunately, at around 1am, we were woken by extremely loud, aggressive shouting from the room next door. As two females traveling together, we felt very uncomfortable, especially as it sounded like there were multiple men in the room. While we understand it was a Saturday night and some noise is expected, the walls were so thin that it was impossible to block out the disturbances. We eventually called reception, who advised us to lock our doors, which didn’t resolve the issue. After about 30 minutes, the group left the room, but they returned around 3:30am. This time, it seemed like drug use was involved, and the situation felt just as unsettling as before. Other than these major issues, our stay was okay, but given the lack of security, thin walls, and failure to notify guests of important changes, I wouldn’t recommend this hotel—especially not for families or those looking for a peaceful, safe stay.

Fantastic nights in Sheffield

The hotel is affordable and very close to the city centre. Room had a hairdryer built in, very comfy bed sheet plenty of choices for seating in the room. TV was a lil small for viewing from the bed and the toilet paper wasn't the greatest, also wish there was an alternative option to a bar of soap? But these are small complaints, this is a fantastic hotel

Initially couldn’t find the hotel, it is a best western but doesn’t call itself metropolitan anywhere. Looks tired from the outside and a bit dated inside, but overall room was fine, bed comfy and had nice view of river

The hotel its self was lovely and so was the staff but whatever you do, don’t park on the royal Victoria hotel. This is the car park right to the side of the metropolitan. Me and my sister came up for new year, to come back from being out to find her car window to be smashed in!! Stole her dashcam, money, cards ect!!! Royal Victoria hotel was no help! Parked by cameras for this exact reason but wasn’t able to view! He had done a few cars on this car park ! Be careful

2 nights review

Our 3rd visit to this hotel, it is very convenient for Pond's Forge and a short walk into town for shops and restaurants. A very good welcome at reception when we arrived and the offer of a 'breakfast to go' when I mentioned we needed to go out early one morning. Our room felt a little 'tired', there was no hook on the back of the bathroom door to hang a towel, the towel rail didn't appear to work and the main light didn't work. The shower is good and beds comfortable and having twin beds is ideal when sharing with my son! Unfortunately no hand towels in the room but there was plenty of tea / coffee (maybe hot chocolate would be a good addition?) For the price this is a good option for staying in Sheffield but attention to detail would make it even better.
