Recent Reviews in Retford

mour Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was okay, but unfortunately there were stains on the walls and the toilet was hanging off the wall. There were only three pillows for two people, and the robes included with the Executive King Room were ripped and clearly well-used. The bed was comfortable enough, though. The staff were lovely, friendly and very helpful, which was definitely a positive."

West Retford Hotel, BW Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Ideal for what we wanted. Breakfast was really good too."

Radisson Blu Hotel, Sheffield

8/10 Good

"Perfect location, room was excellent on the whole. Breakfast was OK, but not excellent"

Hellaby Hall Hotel, BW Signature Collection

8/10 Good

"Firstly we enjoyed our stay. The room was brilliant in terms of having two double beds and a sofa bed all made up with loads of space for us all. It’s not often you find that much space and bed in one room. The price was good too. The rooms are dated and tired but there were no major issues for us. Not spotless but not dirty. We didn’t have breakfast so cannot comment. We did enjoy a family swim in the pool. Again the area is dated and not prefect but the pool was great and we had fun. They had ran out of locks for the male lockers so we did have to have our clothes in carrier bags in pegs poolside. Overall it’s not a ‘destination’ hotel any more. I could see that it absolutely once was. But…they do offer a good rate with good facilities and we did enjoy our stay. As a family of 5 we would stay again due to the pool and the room."

easyHotel Sheffield

8/10 Good

"Nearby parking, easy checkin, 24 hour access, clean, quiet and well maintained room, had everything needed for a overnight stay. Only minor issue was limited airflow due to no windows."

Leonardo Hotel Sheffield

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic hotel! Easy walk from the train station, and to other things that you would need to get to like eating and the university. Lovely lobby, they had a workout room which I didn't use but that's a nice extra, and the room itself is very nice. I would definitely stay again"

Jonas Hotel

8/10 Good

"Clean budget hotel in a quiet location."

Courtyard By Marriott Sheffield

10/10 Excellent

"Really lovely hotel with easy parking and just a short drive to the city centre"

Ye Olde Bell Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, making it a great place to relax after a long day. The location was also very convenient, especially for anyone travelling by electric car, as there is a rapid EV charger nearby. This made charging the car easy and hassle-free during stay. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our visit, which made the experience even better. Overall, a comfortable room, convenient location, and excellent service made this a very enjoyable stay. I would happily stay here again."
