Jonas Hotel

Clean room and good location

Jonas is cheap and cheerful. Stylish lounge area. Convenient for the university. Free parking. A communal kitchen is available. Free drink and croissant for breakfast. On the downside the beds are only three quarter width and jammed against the wall so better for one person than two. The small rooms are stuffy in hot weather. Still a bargain though.

Although small, the room was very clean and comfortable and adequate for a short stay. I would not recommend it for 2 people. It was very hot though and needs better ventilation or some air conditioning. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Parking was limited but we did manage to get a space. It would have been nice to have had tea/coffee making facility in the room as the communal kitchen was very dirty with unwashed pots and lots of unpleasant food in the fridge. That said, there was a lady cleaning it the second day we were there. This was very suitable for a short stop-over and I would use it again.

nice staff

Pleasant helpful staff

Basic but clean accomodation, limited on site parking but found on street parking easily.

Good, quiet location, close to the Botanical Gardens. Room was on the small side, but had everything that was needed. Free onsite parking was definitely a plus. No aircon nor fan, so the room was very hot. Dinner next door at Halifax Hall was very good, would highly recommend.

I love staying at Jonas. Clean, helpful staff, very good mattress! But twice now, my biggest problem is noise at night. I had to ring reception at 3am to ask them to come and ask the people who had been talking very loudly for a couple of hours to stop as we couldn't sleep. Not sure whether they were in one of the kitchenettes or their rooms but there should be a noise disturbance policy across the property.

A great stay in a great location.

Had a very pleasant stay at the Jonas... easy check in and very polite helpful staff... Gorgeous location and free parking which was an added bonus.. very cheap to stay.. rooms very small and basic but for money and just for one night sleeping was perfect eventhough was about 200° in room..

It was fine for a student accommodation

I think the staff may hate their jobs - other explaination is that they hate the guests? Hearing them complain to each other about how busy it is for them in the morning certainly made me think twice about attending the "breakfast" offering. A little kindness goes a long way - maybe give some suggestions for those that have to wait a bit for check in - or where people can get food/drinks near the hotel? I defo felt "tolerated" at best. The hotel itself is OK. The location was exactly what I needed as I had to attend at event at the university. The room felt like a jail cell. Stains on the walls, peeling furniture, and it wasn't the cleanest. The elevator smelled like pot. Noise travels throught the thin walls, with doors slamming regularly and clear conversations heard from the adjoining rooms. The cost was reasonable - hence the 3 stars. But I would probably not stay here again. I would not recommend this for a longer stay, especially during term time when the surrounds would likely be louder.

I must admit I was slightly wary of staying here after reading all the complaints about noise, but as it turned out, I had nothing to worry about! The hotel and surroundings were quiet - even during an England match! I suspect it depends on whether the students in neighbouring accommodation blocks are around, so perhaps factor that into your decision. But for relatively cheap accommodation, with breakfast included, you can't go far wrong with the Jonas!

Have stayed several times when visiting daughter at the uni and this is great value and perfect location. However no air con /fans so a very uncomfortable night in the heatwave!

I wouldn’t call this a hotel, it’s student accommodation. There is not air con , window open very slightly.

The property was a sort of student residence on the University of Sheffield Campus , in a very beautiful setting . I stayed during an unprecedented heat wave , there were no air conditioning or fans available. There were limited soft drinks , coffee and croissants available . Halfway through my stay I became aware that one of the neighbouring buildings was infact a hotel with full catering service of a very high standard where accepted non residents for meals . The staff in Jonas were very friendly and could not have been more friendly .

When we checked in late on Wednesday evening, the gentleman who assisted us was excellent. He was very helpful, explained everything clearly, and made us feel welcome. He was truly brilliant. However, our experience at breakfast the following morning around 9:30am was very disappointing. There was very little breakfast available, only a few croissants left, and there was no coffee or tea. When we asked a member of staff about plates, we were told there were none available and that we should use a tissue instead. We also received no welcome at all when we arrived for breakfast. One member of staff was sitting there and did not acknowledge us. When we asked about the coffee, we were simply told to tilt the container because it had run out, and what was left was cold. Overall, while the check-in experience was excellent, the breakfast service was poor and left us feeling disappointed. What was particularly disappointing was that while we were being told there were no plates available and that we should use tissues instead, a member of staff had time to prepare her own breakfast and was using a plate herself. She was eating pasta from a plate, yet customers were told that no plates were available. We found this very upsetting and unprofessional. It gave the impression that customers were not being treated with the same level of care and respect as staff. This was very disappointing and left a poor impression of the breakfast service

Great no frills cheap option in Sheffield.

Excellent value for money in a quiet part of Sheffield. Spotlessly clean room, lovely staff. You only get one pastry per person for breakfast, so top up your protein in a second breakfast elsewhere.

Very clean room + friendly and helpful staff + able to find a free parking space
