Travelodge Sheffield Central

The Travelodge Sheffield Central is one of the most straightforward hotel decisions you can make in the city. You are getting a budget room in a central location at a price that reflects Sheffield’s general generosity on that front. Sheffield Midland station is a short walk away, which makes it an obvious choice if you’re arriving by train.

Travelodge rooms are compact and functional. The SuperRooms are worth the small upgrade if you’re planning more than a single night – you get a larger space, better lighting, and a few extras that make the stay more comfortable. Standard rooms do the job for a short trip without complaint.

The location near the station means you’re also reasonably close to the Sheaf Square area and within reasonable walking distance of the city centre proper. It’s not the most characterful part of Sheffield, but it is convenient, and convenience is what a budget chain hotel is selling.

There’s no restaurant at the Travelodge Sheffield Central, but the Sheffield Tap is practically on the station concourse and serves excellent real ales in a beautifully restored Victorian station bar – a far better option than a hotel dining room for drinks before a journey or after arriving. Plenty of food options open up once you’re into the city centre proper, ten minutes on foot.

Book well in advance for the best Travelodge rates – the brand does promotional pricing that can bring rooms down to very low rates if you’re flexible on dates. It’s not luxury, but it is honest value and Sheffield is a city where that gets you a long way.
