Hotels near The Botanical Gardens, Sheffield

The hotel I originally wanted to book was fully booked, so I immediately booked this one after seeing it was newly renovated in 2025 and had five-star reviews. It's located in a very quiet neighborhood with security cameras on every house, so the security measures are excellent. The room is very clean and beautiful, and the bathroom is spotless. You can tell the host is very, very meticulous about cleanliness. Since the stairs and room are covered with white carpet, I left my luggage on the ground floor and didn't take it upstairs. You have to take off your shoes before going upstairs, which I completely understand – I wouldn't want to get the pristine white carpet dirty either. You might want to bring a pair of clean slippers. The kitchen floor is tiled, which can be a bit chilly in winter. The kitchen is shared, and you can use the microwave to heat up cooked food and boil water, but cooking full meals isn't allowed. The host also thoughtfully prepared some snacks, including a delicious African snack called 'Qinqin'. The warm-hearted host chatted with me for a long time in the evening. It was the first time I realized my 'broken' English could sustain such a long conversation with a foreigner! The host is incredibly warm and thoughtful; the kettle is always filled with cold water, ready to boil at the push of a button. They even thoughtfully called an Uber for me in the morning. In short, the room is very clean and beautiful, and the host is warm and attentive – you can check in with complete peace of mind. The three-dimensional towel rack in the bathroom is such a thoughtful design, kudos! Also, a suggestion for Ctrip: Ctrip's map showed the hotel in the city center, and we planned to walk there. But it was too cold, so we called an Uber. Only when we arrived did we realize the direction was completely wrong, and it wasn't in the bustling downtown area at all. I hope Ctrip corrects this immediately. It's a real pity to be misled by Ctrip's map when you're in a foreign country and don't speak the language, causing such inconvenience.

Room was nice for the price, good water pressure and hot. Room was warm, bed comfy. Would have loved a kettle, and the parking permit they provide is a piece of paper which for my albeit niche position as a motorcyclist meant they just told me, don't worry if you get fined you'll get it cancelled, which is never fun! Also they take card for damage deposit which isn't actually an issue but it isn't notified at booking like nearly all others who do the same which is a bit subversive.

Excellent, it even has a balcony. The room is significantly larger than other hotels in Sheffield. Although it's a bit far from the university, it's quite close to the cathedral in the city center. The room and surrounding environment are fantastic, with a beautiful little river nearby. Breakfast purchased can be refunded in advance with the front desk if you suddenly decide you don't need it anymore. The service was truly excellent. Just remember to ask the front desk for toilet paper if you run out. I stayed with my family for my graduation ceremony, and even with a lot of luggage, we had plenty of room. If I have the chance to come to Sheffield again, I will definitely choose this hotel again.

It was very amazing staying at this hotel the staff were amazing and very friendly and helpful I would recommend this hotel to anyone

This is the second time I have stayed in the Leopold. It is a basic hotel, but delivers high-quality rooms, a good breakfast, and a perfect location for exploring Sheffield. The building is curious, as it is a converted school. It also opens directly (at the back) on to a pedestrian plaza with multiple bars and restaurants.

I check the reviews before deciding to stay here. It’s a budget hotel, but parking is easy ( additional cost)  and there’s an EV charger available, which was very convenient. It’s only a 10 mins walk to the cinema and there’s are plenty restaurants nearby. The staff were friendly and welcoming.

very nice cleav hotel stayed here many times recently its got everything you need and on this stay the management went above and beyond and upgraded us to a superior king room for nothing exceeds expectations

I wouldn't consider this a good stay, as I encountered several issues. First, the check-in process was a hassle since this hotel doesn't have a front desk. I spent hours calling the hotel, facing either ”Line busy” or no response after a long wait. If it wasn’t for Trip.com's customer service finally connecting with the hotel, I wouldn’t have known what to do. Second, the wooden door in my room was difficult to close; it required a hard push and made a loud ”bang.” The glass sliding door of the shower room was also problematic, it fell out on my first pull, and I'm certainly not strong enough to break a door with just one pull. Lastly, and most frustratingly, was the toilet paper situation. It was my first time encountering a toilet without a single roll of paper. I can't imagine what I would be if I hadn't brought my own in my bag that day. On a positive note, the room was well-equipped with a fridge, oven, heater, toaster, and even an iron, which suggests the hotel might have been quite good when the things are all good a few years ago, but not now.

It was an impressive and pleasant stay. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We had a family room, which was perfect for our trip, very spacious and with great view. The bed mattress is one of the best in all my experience. I had great sleep during the stay. The cleanliness of the room was ok. The location is very convenient if you are driving - 20 mins drive to the walking trails and 10 mons drive to centre of Sheffiled. David from the restaurant provided highly professional and helpful service for our breakfast. All in all, we would consider staying at this hotel again if we visit this area again.

Just a quick overnight stay to attend a graduation at Sheffield Uni. Very clean, comfortable and quiet, with large rooms, fairly modern bathrooms and a spacious car park. There are several convenience stores and takeaways nearby (10-15min walk or 3min drive). Only took around 30 minutes by car to reach the city centre and the university, in moderate traffic. Not a breakfast person myself but a buffet continental breakfast was included, consisting of the usual cereals, yoghurt, croissants, juice, tea, coffee...cooked breakfast was available for what seemed a reasonable price on top. All in all a nice, hassle-free stay.
