Good points-This hotel is in a good,quiet , leafy suburb of Sheffield. Free parking by garages or in the road. Bus stop nearby and a local Sainsbury's and a local cafe. Sal the owner was very friendly ,helpful and chatty and communicates well by phone and email.He seems to run it on his own, cooking breakfast,receptionist,bookings. he says he cannot get staff? Was able to check in at 1pm which was great. Heating was on, so warm and had plenty of hot water.Clean bathroom with large corner bath and nice towels. Tariff very reasonable and had the choice to pay for a breakfast which was adequate and refillable coffee,tea. Not so good points- There was a fire door wedged open,the floors need a vacuum, particularly in the dining room.Our bedroom was dusty, eg top of headboard,bedside shelves,window frames,skirting boards,tea tray,doors,under bed. Comments found on other reviews also mention more attention to cleaning is needed. The whole place needs a thorough clean and thereafter regular cleaning to keep the dust away. It is a lovely house but needs more attention to upkeep.Paintwork and furniture is tired. Garden is over grown is some areas. Our bed sheets had not been changed from previous guest but this was retified straight away with an apology, and the sheets were of good quality but how did this occur in the first place?The mattress was quite soft. The wardrobe was ample but dirty inside. Would like a shelf in the bathroom for putting toiletries as the shelving provided was very dirty and a hook on the back of bathroom door would be useful to hang clothes.Towel rail needs replacing as quite old. I would stay again as I prefer to support smaller guest house /hotels rather than big chains eg Premier inn etc and location was perfect .I could not see many other small hotels in this area so limited for choice . However the place has to be cleaner as I would prefer not to do the cleaning myself which I did a little bit. Breakfast although adequate , little variation on cooked breakfast.The tomato ketchup bottle , dirty inside cap, some fruit was old in fruit bowl. This place needs a regular good cleaner, taking great care for detail,replacing some of the furniture and this would make such a difference to what potentially could be an excellent small hotel .

Positives were Wi-Fi worked toilet was clean towels were clean The building has high ceilings and lots of character and the host Sal was very accommodating helped me in and out of the car with my bags as I had my 19 month old son with me Also Sal provided extra toilet paper when asked and asked what time I’d like breakfast Negatives were questionable stains on the furniture out dated miss matched bedding and curtains very dusty my baby son crawled under the bed and when I pulled him out he looked like he’d been laying loft insulation After eating two pieces of toast at breakfast I noticed mould on the other I said nothing of this of the time but took pictures as I do not like to confront people any how it’s a bog standard three star guesthouse so for the price you can’t expect the Savoy The only reason I’m giving it a three star is because the owner/host was attentive and nothing was too much I think he runs it on his own although he said his wife helps yet I only saw him from checking in to leaving so I should cut him some slack but the place needs a deep clean in places like the breakfast table and dining area and Extractor fans in the bathroom they could wash the seat cushions & a good hoover under the bed is needed Sal seems to work hard with little staff around if it ever had a revamp I’d stay again
