Shame

We regularly visit Sheffield and normally don't have any issues. It is our go-to hotel and we rarely stay anywhere else. We booked an 'Executive Room' and of all the rooms we've stayed in over the years (Executive and Standard), it had the smallest, most horrible shower that was moldy and didn't drain properly. On top of this, after having settled in and showered, I made my way to the loo. What I found there was disgusting. There was a smear of feces on the front of the toilet that had to have been completely unmissable for the cleaning staff but somehow was missed! In any other scenario where I hadn't already unpacked, etc. I would have demanded to switch rooms but, in this case I phoned down to reception. Someone came up straight away and the proceeded to minimise the issue stating they had expected something 'horrible'. I'm sorry. Someone else's feces (a good inch) stained in what should have been my clean, comfortable room is pretty horrible to me. He then proceeded to tell me he'd be using the toilet paper and a splash of water from my sink (further into the room where my husband was watching TV in his shorts) to 'clean' it. I politely asked if he could use some antibacterial spray or something of the like. He agreed that would be better and returned 5 minutes later with paper napkins from the restaurant and a spray bottle which I assume was some type of cleaner. An apology and that's it. The mess was cleaned but, honestly? I'm not sure we'll be back. Disappointing.

Good stay at Novotel, only complaints are the time it took to check-in while in a queue, and the room was too warm. I don’t think the air conditioning system was effective.

It was ok, over priced for what it was. There is a pool but be warned you have to book and there is a maximum of 7 in the pool which you are not told about until you get there. The room was very hot and stuffy and the floor boards where very creeky.

the hotel is attractive and the rooms appear pleasant. however a lack of air con during hot weather and a general "shrug your shoulders" attitude from staff was unhelpful. whether you advertise your rooms with aircon or not, you still have to provide some compensation (free hydration for eg!) for guests who are boiling hot in hotel rooms...staff were well meaning and some were great but generally need better training to deal with issues as they arise. rooms are also a bit tired in some areas and lobby and bar area inconvenient for working guests - few plug points and poorly designed layout next to large glass windows that reflect on your screen.

Very dated and overpriced for the room that we had, executive room, it was like a 2 star apartment in spain with pebble dashed walls and a tiny window, very poor hotel, you would expect much better for £180 per night.

Perfectly city centre situated

Hotel could do with a bit of TLC but it is situated perfectly for city centre. Great walking distance for points of interest, pubs, restaurants and Bramhall Lane.

Most people give five stars reviews because they don't want to offend. Mine was genuine. I loved the hotel and the location. The staff were excellent, and the bar and restaurants were superb. I would be more than happy to stay there again.

Convenient location. However, the air conditioner kept blowing cold air on a chilly day, and when I called the front desk, I was told there was no way to adjust the temperature or turn it off.
