    Just had a great weekend at crowne plaza in Sheffield meeting up with family members to go to a wedding nearby. We were originally booked in the next door holiday inn express but moved across due to current refurbishment work at hie. Certainly glad we were moved as we couldn't have had a better stay. The original listed building is full of original features and has recently undergone a sympathetic renovation while our rooms were spacious, modern and comfortable. The aspect we were most impressed with was the lovely staff who were all so friendly and helpful with a real focus on giving excellent customer service. This started even before our stay as on being advised of the change of hotel I had a productive exchange of messages with reception to check that one of the booked rooms which we needed to be wheelchair accessible would meet the needs of my sister in law who uses a wheelchair. All the staff we met were great but special thanks to Achille who organised us a table in the restaurant for a quiet family get together meal, Tomas who sorted an issue in the accessible room and was especially helpful at breakfast and Purna who looked after us at breakfast each morning. The hotel would definitely be our first choice when visiting Sheffield.

    The doors needed a good slam to get them to lock properly.

    No fault of the hotel but there was a noisy room nearby with a person/people banging on doors trying to get into someone's room at about 3am. As we were up early for a sporting event that wasn't ideal.

    Lovely hotel. I felt we ended up with a great deal as our booking was with the holiday inn but, due to closure (I think) we were transferred to the Crown Plaza.

    Draughty in room, radiator not working but when mentioned the receptionist altered it for us . Having returned from our concert we couldn’t get back in our room. I went to reception where no one was there so rang the numbers as instructed but was automated line. Went to the bar where the barman who was busy with two customers attended to my problem.

    Brilliant choices for breakfast. Helpful staff.

    We liked everything.

    We actually stayed in the sister hotel ( The Royal Victoria Crowne Plaza ) as IHG own both and the Holiday Inn Express was closed ?? COVID related. This was an upgrade but we would pay the extra and stay here again. Room was spacious with good views over the city and facilities of a high standard and clean. We had breakfast included which was buffet style, plentiful and wide ranging from continental to full English. Staff were extremely friendly, cheerful and pleasant.
