10/10 Exceptional

Spot On

I always enjoy staying here - I'll be back again
Andrew, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Best for backpackers and solo travelers.

For solo traveller like me, the facilities, mostly everything was good. I like the pantry the most and the shared toilets and bathrooms were clean at anytime. This place is quiet. The halal fast food shops, the Muslim friendly shop, even Tesco are just walking distance.
Fariza Mastura, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Hostel no longer operating

Don't book this place, it has gone. This website still takes bookings but then you get there and there are no signs of life. The company has gone bust, there is a sign in the window stating that all chattels must be removed from the property by July 3rd. Hotels.com will not help you if you contact them, they just tell you to book somewhere else at last minute prices.

Cheap and cheerful, make it yourself cereal and toast breakfast, if you want a cheap base in Sheffield this is fine. Nicecquiet location on the end of a small street in a nice neighbourhood

Peaceful Sheffield

Very helpful staff and the price is the best I had ever seen.. and £20 and breakfast and a coffee
Lindsey, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

There was order and that reassured me of my safety.
Michelle, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Avoid

The whole place felt grimy, in with everything worn down and stains all.on the carpet. Not a tourist hostel, more of a half way house. Good.location near the tram stop and some free breakfast, but one of the worst.places I've ever stayed.
1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

They could have warned us that it was up a really steep hill. Also there was some maintenance work being carried out, so the women's dorm was closed off when I arrived but apart from that it was rather comfortable and very good value for money.
Sarah, 5-night trip

2/10 Poor

Nothing
Stuart, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent wallet-friendly choice

It's a hostel so manage your expectations accordingly. That said the staff were very helpful and friendly. There is plenty of unrestricted parking in the area if you have a car. You're not far from the tram or bus stops, and it's only about 30 mins walk into town. There's washing machines, a decent kitchen/communal area. The shared toilet was clean (yay). The WiFi was good enough to get some work done. There was a bit of coming and going in the night but I had a decent sleep. Compared with something like a Travelodge this is superb value for money for folks on a budget.
Daniel, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Had to be switched to another room due to loud heating pipe in room 1, but switch couldn't happen until the next day so I couldn't sleep the first night. Staff was prompt and helpful though. Be aware, this hostel is up a very steep hill which makes it tricky for those with lower mobility. The bed I was in was also quite firm so wasn't comfortable for me since I have joint issues. Bed was also right next to a radiator so it was very dehydrating for me. Otherwise it was a good spot, spent 4 nights
Victoria, 5-night trip

2/10 Poor

Checked in and out again within 30 minutes. Entrance was unwelcoming and untidy, “reception “ was a back office / junk tip. Room was small, dark and windows dirty, and insecure. Right next to smoking area. Someone was outside talking loudly on their phone - conversation not particularly savoury. Kitchen less than clean . No shower on ground floor, where room was, and ground floor toilet had a laundry / cleaning product pile in the area before the loo. Upstairs ( dirty stair carpet) loo was clean but toilet paper has to be put in the bin so even the plumbing was substandard. Didn’t feel safe so checked out. Have since repeatedly emailed to request refund ( have asked for one day , not both) but have had no response. Will phone and then Dispute the payment with my credit company. Staff member very pleasant but unable to explain where nearest tram stop was or how to call a taxi. Shocking. I’ve stayed in back pockets and hostels all over the world and this is absolutely the worst I’ve been to. Don’t waste your money
