Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Sheffield
Choosing the right airport for your trip to Sheffield depends heavily on your origin and priority. None of these airports are in Sheffield itself; Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) is the nearest major gateway, typically serving as the most cost-effective entry point for international travelers due to good bus-to-train connections. East Midlands Airport (EMA) offers excellent speed for those willing to utilize integrated bus and rail links. For travelers arriving at Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LPL), the rail connection via South Parkway is a reliable, balanced option. London Luton Airport (LTN) is significantly further away and better suited for those already in the London area needing to head north. Teesside International Airport (MME) is the most remote and generally requires private transport or complex rail journeys. As a practical tip, always check rail strike schedules, as regional lines are the backbone of your journey to the Sheffield city center.

Stayed for 2 nights. Lidl and Sainsbury's are just a few steps away, and my favorite Gress is also nearby, close to the train station – just turn right across the street and walk a bit further. There's even a KFC downstairs! Very satisfied overall, though the bathroom is a bit small.FromUS$47

The location is super convenient, really close to Sheffield train station. It's less than a five-minute walk to the City Hall, Peace Gardens, Winter Garden, and Millennium Gallery. This is a chain hotel, and the service and facilities are all up to par. Sheffield is very hilly, just like a British version of Chongqing, with slopes everywhere. So staying near the train station makes arriving and departing with luggage much easier. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Sheffield.FromUS$66

I was in Sheffield for 2 nights.
V comfy bed. Shower and separate bath.
Had an embarrassing issue with toilet as it's flush was almost non existent, but was resolved easy.
Location fantastic re town and train station, and exotic garden in a fantastic structure.
Pool, sauna and steam room great.
Didn't fancy the ice igloo!
Aroma room (a fragrant steam room). Was out of action.
Work being done taking up large part of reception, which was a shame, but really didn't affect my stay at all.
Didn't eat/drink in hotel so can't comment on those areas.FromUS$91

I recently stayed at the Rutland Hotel in Sheffield and had a wonderful experience.
The hotel is in an excellent location near the hospital, local shops and eateries and near a bus route which takes you directly into the town centre / railway station etc.
The room was very spacious with lots of storage space, tea and coffee making facilities and the bathroom was modern and clean.
The king size bed was really comfortable but one small criticism would be the pillows which could do with upgrading.
That being said I have travelled extensively here and across the world and the one thing that always makes me want to revisit a hotel is the quality of service received.
The staff at the Rutland hotel are simply exceptional from Alison who lifted my spirits by sorting out my restaurant order so I could eat in my room as I was exhausted after spending hours at my mums hospital bedside to Zoe the lovely lady who went into service my room and found my purse and rushed down to reception to return it to me.
I will definitely return to this hotel and this is largely due to the lovely staff.FromUS$53

The hotel reception was very friendly. We arrived late, around 9:30 PM, because we were shopping at Bicester Village. The hotel is next to a Holiday Inn and has a decent-sized parking lot; it costs 6 pounds for an overnight stay, deducted from the deposit. Our room rate included dinner, but since the restaurant closed at 9 PM, the hotel arranged for us to eat at the bar next door. We ordered steak and fish and chips, which were surprisingly good, especially the steak. The room and bed were both very spacious, and the breakfast was excellent, featuring smoked salmon. Everyone in our group agreed it was great. There's also a traditional British reception room near the entrance, perfect for taking photos!FromUS$100

We stayed in one of your beautiful rooms - Whitley Neil - last night for a dinner, bed and breakfast getaway and what a brilliant time we had! The food was incredible (stunning flavour and presentation!) the room was warm and so well equipped (you've literally thought of everything from corkscrew to hairdryer!) but most of all we loved the incredible welcome. We felt right at home from the moment we arrived and only wish we could have stayed longer, we both said we're booking two nights next time! Alex there aren't many pub owners like yourself these days, who work so hard alongside the team of staff whilst still lighting up the room with banter and a smile. Hugh is also a huge credit to your pub and hotel. He greeted us with a lovely and friendly manner on arrival and later asked us after dinner, ”Have you been well looked after?” That question summed up our stay. No corny scripted service, just a beautifully genuine experience of great food, great service and a great sleep - what more can you want? Thanks guys, we'll be back!FromUS$110

The location is close to city centre with 5-10 min walk. It is good to have private car park and very convenient to us. The facilities are considerate and comprehensive. Rooms are comfortable and I like the single arm chair very much. Looking forward to visit here again.Very Good138 Reviews

This is the second time I have stayed in the Leopold. It is a basic hotel, but delivers high-quality rooms, a good breakfast, and a perfect location for exploring Sheffield. The building is curious, as it is a converted school. It also opens directly (at the back) on to a pedestrian plaza with multiple bars and restaurants.FromUS$65

A great hotel in a good location for visitors to Sheffield. The advantage of staying slightly out of the city centre for free parking and a peaceful location. The rooms are clean, spacious and quiet in lovely grounds. We had 4 rooms with our party which were booked at a reasonable price and 2 were upgraded on arrival which was a bonus. The staff were friendly and welcoming especially the lady on reception. Would happily stay here againFromUS$71

One day of work related visit. Very decent hotel in the heart of Sheffield with great amenities and good value for the price.
Staff were very friendly and helpful, granted a complimentary late check-out with no fuss.
Breakfast was really great, apart from not serving hot chocolate drink.
Will definitely stay here again next time I visit Sheffield.

Sheffield City Center Sheffield|0.39km from city center
I wouldn't consider this a good stay, as I encountered several issues. First, the check-in process was a hassle since this hotel doesn't have a front desk. I spent hours calling the hotel, facing either ”Line busy” or no response after a long wait. If it wasn’t for Trip.com's customer service finally connecting with the hotel, I wouldn’t have known what to do. Second, the wooden door in my room was difficult to close; it required a hard push and made a loud ”bang.” The glass sliding door of the shower room was also problematic, it fell out on my first pull, and I'm certainly not strong enough to break a door with just one pull. Lastly, and most frustratingly, was the toilet paper situation. It was my first time encountering a toilet without a single roll of paper. I can't imagine what I would be if I hadn't brought my own in my bag that day. On a positive note, the room was well-equipped with a fridge, oven, heater, toaster, and even an iron, which suggests the hotel might have been quite good when the things are all good a few years ago, but not now.FromUS$79
