The Rutland Hotel

This hotel was the traditional arrangment of large houses joined together, but unlike others of this type I've stayed in, this was a proper hotel with the facilties and efficient staff you'd expect, with free wifi, off-street parking and a decent restaurant. Although the single room I stayed in was small, it was surprisingly neat and modern with a luxury wetroom.

Though the room was newly refurbished, the corridors and some of the public areas could do with a bit of a makeover, if only to a more modern colour scheme than cream paintwork and red flock wallpaper. Some details need attention, like a loose toilet roll holder in the room and bedding not tucked in on the side against the wall, and if the fancy computer keyboard linked to the TV isn't working anymore, just take it out. And please no cleaners with vacuum cleaners in the corridors during the breakfast rush!

room too dark parking space

Reception staff were fantastic, very welcoming and helpful. Room was decorated beautifully and had all necessary extras. Although lovely, I would not say it was worth the £115 spent for 1 night.

The location is close to the Sheffield university and easy access to the city centre.

The Rutland was extremely handy for me,as I was visiting my daughter, who lives in university halls close by. The breakfast was especially good, as it was freshly cooked and the staff were very friendly.

I was kept awake with an air conditioner fan the first night, I did get it turned off for the second night, but was cold. I would prefer a duvet, rather than just one blanket. Staff should perhaps explain about the air con on arrival.

The staff were very helpful and the room was clean and had everything possible for a comfortable stay. It was quiet at night.

The hotel is a strange arrangement of rooms, stairs and corridors all garishly decorated.I thought it might have been a care home not very well converted. Although I was in a double room and only booked a single, my room was on the top level and had no real window which I didn't like.

The staff were friendly apart from one receptionist who was not to willing to help us with not being able to park in the car park.

My husband is registered disabled and the distance between the reception area and the room (21) was too far especially with all the stairs.

staff pleasant and efficient and decor in the room was a little different

unfortunately there was a private 60th party booked at the hotel the night we were there which meant we were unable to use the bar or restaurant and the noise from the party kept us awake until 1a.m when it finished.Not impressed!!!

Well .... the breakfast vwas great ... and the waitress was lovely !!!!

Arrtived back from a concert at 11-30 .... the bar was closed and not only that ... there was a couple who had left their room key earlier and there was no one behind the dask to give it back !!!!! To be honest ... I was not toooooooo happy with the whole carry on !!!!!!

The staff were particularly pleasant and helpful. I have to say that prior to going I read soem reviews of TripAdvisor which almost caused me to cancel but as the hotel was the nearest to my son's university (reason for trip) I decided to take a chance and found that the staff who were described unfairly on TripAdvisor as rude and unhelpful to be anything but. Again I found the food to be good.

Room 105. The room itself is adequate and clean and the en suite bathroom was excellent, however, the rooms window is right over the ventilation shaft/extractor which makes a racket at night time when trying to sleep - the room lacked adequate double glazing to minimise this noise. Would not want to stay in that room again but would stay at the hotel.

Convenient for the University and hospitals

The decor in the rooms is too 'busy'. Too many different patterns. It does not present a restful picture. Quite old fashioned in the choice of carpets.

Night porter was alert and friendly on arrival. Breakfast was good and served quickly. Room was stylish and bed was comfortable.

TV remote did not function. Room was a little cold. It would have been good to have a shower cap available.

The staff were very pleasant and very helpful. the food was brilliant and the value is very good. The rooms are very clean and very comfortable. I will always stay here when in Leeds.
