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.

There are free breakfasts like bread or cereal. You can use the kitchen to cook simple meal. The location is near tram station but located uphill. If you bring big baggage be careful of the slope. Rooms are basically clean but the shared facilities are used by all the guests. You can't expect they are always clean. Hosts are friendly that would help you when you need.

Had to be switched to another room due to loud heating pipe in room 1, but switch couldn't happen until the next day so I couldn't sleep the first night. Staff was prompt and helpful though. Be aware, this hostel is up a very steep hill which makes it tricky for those with lower mobility. The bed I was in was also quite firm so wasn't comfortable for me since I have joint issues. Bed was also right next to a radiator so it was very dehydrating for me. Otherwise it was a good spot, spent 4 nights

Comfortable stay with decent facilities. We got a bigger room than we booked which was nice and the kitchen was well stocked. good stay on a budget would stay again.

For the price, i thought this was quite bad to be honest. The staff were excellent and helpful, the best thing about the place. I was in the girl's dorm... the bed itself was clean and had fresh bedding, which was good. But in general, the place was filthy...i lost my keys down the back of the bed, there was loads of stuff stored under it that looked like it had been there for ages, shoes etc.. this meant i couldn't reach underneath... when i managed to get my hand behind the bed, it was filled with dust, dirt and cobwebs and old socks and things. I went for breakfast, they had soya milk and lots of cereals ("goody" I thought)..i poured out some cereal and whilst eating, discovered many black hairs in the food. Honestly, disgusting... at that point i gave up and made an exit. This hair was probably just the result of another guest, but it's the first time in my life I've experienced anything like this in a hostel (and I've been to hundreds). I wouldn't mind paying a tenner for this kind of hostel, but certainly not almost 30 quid; it's just not worth it.

Stayed in private room and all good, friendly and helpful, well located and would stay again
