Russell Scott Backpackers - Sheffield

Friendly, helpful staff; clean, spacious rooms, bathrooms were clean and the shower was hot, free breakfast was basic but a nice touch.

hi please check somewhere else Location if drive is ok .ibut not so difficult to go there by any public transport. I can not sleep too noise and strong smells no any facilities they have kitchen please don't touch because a lot people long stay here they have CCTV record if you mistake took some one good This is my bad experience stay a night

Overall my experience was okay with them. Dormety was not available when I booked the hotel.

It's a very unhappy experience for me. Because the man in the reception desk is a not honest for me.

8 of us needed accommodation for a gig in Sheffield, and every other option was ridiculously expensive given the event. We booked a dorm room. After reading reviews we had very low expectations - but we were pleasantly surprised! The room was clean and so were the toilet facilities. Help yourself to cereal, tea, coffee, etc in the kitchen. The city centre also isn't too far away. I'd recommend staying here for the money paid, 100%!

Came here to warn anyone thinking of booking this hostel please don't! We paid £47 for a private room with shared bathroom. Upon arrival at 2.30pm the room was not ready (note check in from 2pm) the room was then hastily made up, no hoovering or surface cleaning. The mattress topper was covered in stains and the room smelt rank. The toilets were filthy with excrement all over one and the other not much better. There were unsavoury characters hanging about in the corridor that almost didn't want to let me through. We felt unsafe and that it was not hygienic so left and paid out another £68 for a room elsewhere (OYO can highly recommend for a little more money). This being a hostel of course we had a reasonable idea of what to expect and have stayed at other hostels which were clean and more secure. Upon leaving I registered a complaint with the booking agent and Russell Scott offered a 10% discount on our next stay to make up for the distress. Insulting offer and you could not pay me to return.
