“friendly and good value for Sheffield, with minor quirks”
If you want to be close to western Sheffield, the city centre, Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield Children’s Hospital, or the University of Sheffield, this quirky but friendly hotel is unbeatable. Shops and restaurants in Broomhill are nearby. The 120 bus follows Glossop Road outside the hotel and takes you up the hill to Fulwood and Lodge Moor or down to the city centre. A very economical breakfast is available from 8 am at the Francis Newton pub, a Wetherspoon’s five minutes’ walk away. On arrival I was greeted warmly by Alison; indeed the Rutland’s greatest asset is its friendly staff. The quirks are minor and typical of a historic hotel: the floor plan that leads up and down half‑staircases, creaky floorboards and doors that let in corridor noise (just bring earplugs), the absence of bedside electric plug points (they’re all on the opposite wall, at least in room 27), dated decor, and a shower that alternates between hot enough and not quite hot.
