Where to stay in Sheffield

Attercliffe and the arena approach

ibis budget on Attercliffe Common lists twins and a double with a bunk. A triple label does not mean three separate beds.

Compare the measured route above with the ticketed entrance; proximity to the arena district alone cannot establish accessibility.

Arundel Gate and the theatres

Novotel on Arundel Gate describes the station and theatres as walkable and the arena as a short tram trip. It lists an indoor heated pool.

Check room occupancy and pool arrangements, then plan the hotel–arena tram or taxi.

Peace Gardens and Town Hall

Radisson Blu overlooks the Town Hall at Peace Gardens; the arena identifies voco near the Winter Gardens.

Radisson’s vehicle drop-off is Burgess Street and pedestrian access is Pinstone Street. Check the appropriate hotel entrance, arena return and any separate parking.

Eyre Street and the station-side return

Leonardo on Eyre Street describes the arena as a short drive. Its hotel parking is limited, with an APCOA alternative across the road.

Confirm that arrangement for every car in your group, and plan the return from the arena.

Utilita Arena Sheffield hotel shortlist

ibis budget Sheffield Arena

Measured route: about 4 minutes on foot. Classification: 2-star (hotel source).

ibis budget Sheffield Arena lists doubles, twins, triples with a double and bunk, and accessible categories.

That makes the bed diagram a useful first check for friends and families.

Its published offer includes continental breakfast, snacks and drinks around the clock, plus chargeable private parking.

Decide whether those facilities cover your plans for the gap before and after the match; the hotel does not list a full-service restaurant in its current FAQ.

298 Attercliffe Common, Sheffield S9 2AG · Official address; checked 28 October 2026.

Novotel Sheffield Centre

Measured route: about 25 minutes by public transport. Classification: 4-star (hotel source).

Novotel Sheffield Centre is at 50 Arundel Gate. The property describes the arena journey by tram and lists an indoor heated pool, restaurant and bar.

Those details make it a different proposition from the simple arena-side stay.

Compare the time you want in central Sheffield with the transfer required for the match.

Families should check how the chosen room accommodates both children and whether breakfast is part of the booked rate.

Leonardo Hotel Sheffield

Measured route: about 27 minutes by public transport. Classification: unconfirmed; use the hotel’s own page.

Leonardo Hotel Sheffield is an Eyre Street choice with a useful parking warning.

The official directions say on-site spaces are limited and an APCOA car park across the road offers a hotel discount.

Arriving in several cars therefore needs a plan before the party reaches reception. The hotel describes the arena as a short drive, without a timed duration.

Compare the room offer with a taxi or tram arrangement that suits your group.

Then agree who is keeping the reservation and return-journey details accessible on the night.

Radisson Blu Hotel, Sheffield

Measured route: about 22 minutes by public transport. Classification: unconfirmed; use the hotel’s own page.

Radisson Blu Sheffield makes the arrival door unusually important. The pedestrian entrance is on Pinstone Street, while drivers and taxis use Burgess Street.

There is no hotel car park; the property lists Q-Park alternatives and published walking connections from those car parks.

Save those directions with your booking if you intend to arrive carrying costumes or overnight bags.

The hotel also confirms luggage storage, which is useful to ask about when your departure is later than checkout.

voco Sheffield

Measured route: about 22 minutes by public transport. Classification: unconfirmed; use the hotel’s own page.

voco Sheffield appears on the arena’s current hotel list near the Winter Gardens and Peace Gardens.

The listed facilities include a pool, gym, sauna and The Yard Restaurant, giving you a different comparison from an arena-side room-only stop.

Confirm the facilities and room category included in your own booking before planning a long morning at the property.

Use the present voco name when searching or speaking to reception; older Sheffield hotel recommendations may use different branding.

Holiday Inn Express Sheffield City Centre

Measured route: about 21 minutes by public transport. Classification: unconfirmed; use the hotel’s own page.

Holiday Inn Express Sheffield City Centre publishes a five-minute walk to Fitzalan Square tram stop.

That is useful for locating the hotel’s city-centre connection, but it is not an arena-to-hotel duration.

Its parking information lists a hotel car park with overflow at the neighbouring Crowne Plaza Royal Victoria.

Ask how that works for your arrival and departure times, especially if some of the group will be returning separately.

Crowne Plaza Royal Victoria Sheffield

Measured route: about 25 minutes by public transport. Classification: unconfirmed; use the hotel’s own page.

Crowne Plaza Royal Victoria Sheffield describes a city-centre hotel in grounds approached by a private drive.

Compare it with the neighbouring Holiday Inn Express if you are coordinating more than one room or car.

Use the hotel’s own directions to find the entrance; a broad city-centre pin is less useful when checking in with a group.

Ask about the room layout that will make your stay work, then arrange the evening arena transfer independently.

Getting back after the Sheffield darts

Treat the arena return and the morning station trip as separate decisions in Sheffield.

The city-centre hotels can suit a longer visit, but their published station walks do not establish when a tram will run after the darts.

For Attercliffe, check the street route between the hotel entrance and the ticketed arena entrance in advance.

A map label for the entertainment district is not the same as a published door-to-door walk.

A party returning to Peace Gardens should agree the correct drop-off: Radisson uses Burgess Street for vehicles.

Leonardo guests should likewise save the Eyre Street destination rather than asking only for a central Sheffield hotel.

Sheffield parking varies sharply by property. ibis budget Arena publishes chargeable private parking; Leonardo says its hotel spaces are limited.

Holiday Inn Express lists overflow at the neighbouring Crowne Plaza.

Groups and families staying in Sheffield

An eight-adult Sheffield search should show four rooms with the beds each pair expects.

At ibis budget, the triple option includes a bunk rather than three equivalent beds, so inspect the room type before comparing it with two twins.

FAQs

Does a five-minute Fitzalan Square walk mean the hotel is five minutes from Sheffield Arena?

No. Holiday Inn Express describes its connection to the city-centre tram stop. The arena journey is a separate part of your plan and needs its own service and return check.

Which Radisson Blu Sheffield entrance should a taxi use after darts?

The hotel directs vehicles to Burgess Street. Pinstone Street is the pedestrian entrance, so give the driver the vehicle destination when arranging collection or drop-off.

What beds are in an ibis budget Sheffield Arena triple room?

The published triple category has a double bed and a single bunk. Compare that with the twin category if two friends want separate ordinary beds.

Is Leonardo Sheffield hotel parking unlimited?

Its official directions describe hotel parking as limited and identify an APCOA alternative across the road.

Contact the property about the arrangement before sending several cars there.
