Don't expect frills here - it's not that kind of place, and it's not in the poshest part of town either. But if you just want a quiet, clean and comfortable room above a friendly pub with excellent and keenly priced food and superb beer (they have their own brewery in the basement) then look no further. Buses and trams to Sheffield city centre pass the door, and you can park in the adjacent side-street. The splendid views over the city from the pub's conservatory reminded me of LS Lowry's paintings. The Hillsborough has a deserved place in the Campaign for Real Ale's Good Beer Guide.

I would like to begin by commending the management of the hotel as they have established a very well place. My check in was swift and efficient. The lady at reception was very pleasant and friendly. My stay was short however I would definately stay here again.

Stopped for a funciton elsewhere in sheffield.. from the outside looks like a generic pub. Inside warm friendly people and cracking homecooked food.

Rooms are basic and clean.. but only need somewhere to keep a bag and have a sleep!

owners son even gave us a lift when our taxi didnt show!!

would definitely stop here again

The rooms have not changed, basic and simple but still fine and cheap even if prices have gone up. The range of beer is improving all the time, and the quality of it too. I sampled most of the real ales on offer, and slept soundly afterwards!
The most noticeable improvement since my last visit in 2008 was the food. It's much nicer than before, and breakfast was brilliant. Everyone working there is also fantastic, don't forget this is a pub after all and they are doing a lot more than what would be expected, in my view doing it really well too. Some of the reviews indicate that people were disappointed, but this is not a luxury hotel, nor a fancy boutique one, it's a lovely pub that was packed up with locals looking to enjoy themselves, offering cracking beers from £2.20 to £2.50 a pint, and if you want a quiet cosy night then look elsewhere. This is fun, great value and run by real people not robots. And it's very close to the tram line that goes all the way to the city centre, what more could you ask for?
