About Leopold Hotel Sheffield
Leopold Hotel Sheffield occupies the former Leopold Street Board School, a grand Victorian building whose high ceilings, tall windows and generous corridors have been carefully adapted into a boutique four-star hotel. The conversion keeps much of the building's original character while adding a contemporary finish to the bedrooms and public spaces.
Its Cathedral Quarter location puts guests within easy walking distance of the Winter Garden, the Millennium Gallery and the main shopping streets, making it a natural base for a city break without any need for a car. The hotel's restaurant and bar occupy the old school hall, giving dinner a genuine sense of place.
Rooms range from compact doubles to larger suites with the building's original tall windows, and the hotel is a popular choice for both leisure breaks and business stays given its central position and meeting facilities.

What guests say
Check-in was seamless and the person at the desk was friendly, polite and helpful and suggested some ideas for dining out, which came in handy. I paid for the most expensive room on booking.com at £135. This was a suite with a mezzanine floor for the bedroom. Sadly the room was tired with a poor repair on the ceiling from a leak above and the TV unit had clearly been sawn in half and they didn't bother to stain to colour match. Paint was scuffed off in the bathroom, which was a bit small with limited space around the sink due to awkward corners; it had cracked floor tiles and damp on the grout. The suite wasn't as spacious as the pictures suggested and felt like a box room version of a suite. I phoned reception when we realised only one bathrobe/pair of slippers had been provided for both of us. A member of staff promptly came up to bring the missing items, unfortunately only the robe was brought up, no slippers. So maybe a little more attention to detail wouldn't go amiss. I paid for two breakfasts on arrival at £15 each. The breakfast was really good with many options (full English breakfast or Continental breakfast) and the staff was pleasant. All in all we were happy with the comfortable bed and the good breakfast but felt let down by the room itself. As we left our room to check out of the hotel, we saw into one of the other suites as the cleaners were in it with the door open. It was far more modern and spacious. So maybe they hold the best rooms for direct bookings. But for the price I paid I would have expected better.

We had a really good experience at the hotel when in Sheffeld for a wedding on Kelham Island (easy walking distance). Nice rooms and comfy beds. We upgraded for 15 pounds which included breakfast. Staff all very friendly. Only note is that as others have said Leopold Square behind hotel is quite lively Fri and Sat nights which was fun to be part of but probably not quite so fun if your room overlooked and you were trying to sleep so best ask for a quiet room if you aren't going to be out late! We were in 129 and 165 and was fine.

Our first stay at this wonderful hotel. All the staff were exceptional, particularly the receptionist called Ella. Ella stood out to us as we were on our way via taxi , to a hospital appointment and needed to leave our luggage with the hotel. Ella came from the hotel reception to our taxi to retrieved the luggage. We were then in good time for our hospital appointment. The room was lovely and clean and the beds very comfortable.We loved the charm of this hotel and how the history is preserved with wonderful pictures throughout the hallways. A beautiful hotel & Grade 2 listed building, steeped in history of The Original 19th Century Boys Grammer School& then later Central Technical School.

We had an enjoyable stay in Sheffield for the snooker. The Leopold is well placed for the town centre and its amenities. The room was airy, clean and fresh, and was very quiet. Temperature control didn't seem to work very well, but with persistence we got it to cool down a bit. Breakfast was ok. The first day there was very limited choice, but this had improved on the second day. All in all a good stay.
