ibis budget Sheffield Arena
Loud, kids running the corridors until god knows what hours at night. Staff didn’t want anything to do with it. Waited over an hour to be checked in. Key card didn’t work - waited further 40 min to be resolved , room amenities empty , room hot and aircon didn’t work. Don’t recommend.
