  : A historic hotel in Sheffield city centre with 105 newly refurbished bedrooms, an elegant Restaurant and guest Quiet room, Ball room and Bars. Situated at the site of Sheffield’s historic Victoria train station, the hotel was considered one of the most complete and luxurious hotels in the United Kingdom when it was built in 1862. It was given its “Royal” prefix after a visit of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra in 1905. In 1860, James Radley, founder of the Adelphi Hotel in Liverpool, suggested to architect Matthew Ellison Hadfield that Sheffield required a first-class hotel. “Merchants from America, the Continent, and elsewhere, have frequently returned to Manchester and Liverpool, instead of remaining in the town.” This spurred the Sheffield architect into action, enlisting local businessmen, and choosing a site next to the Victoria Station. The 19th-century Grade II Crowne Plaza® Royal Victoria Sheffield hotel stands in quiet grounds off a private drive in Sheffield city centre. The hotel has 240 car parking spaces on-site. Sheffield's shops, theatres, museums and Ponds Forge water sports complex are within walking distance of the hotel. Room 214 was elegant and spacious with all the needs a guest requires for a short stay in the city whether for business or pleasure. QCD (Quality, Cost and Delivery) Breakfast was a sumptuous Buffet of Hot and Cold/Continental, English and Yorkshire. All the Crown Plaza Team where both friendly and attentive make the guest feel special and cared for.We had the pleasure of meeting John Conroy one of the co-owners of Hotel Crown Plaza (Hermann Beck and John Conroy) whom was most interested to know if we were enjoying our visit and stay of which we were delighted to proffer our delectations and enjoyed our discourse and discussions!
  : Room 412 has a small bathroom disproportionate to the expansive 2 x double bedded Room. The narrow bath and shower unit was almost dysfunctional - would be better to loose the bath and engage a large modern shower unit. Equally loose the bidet and install a double sink more appropriate for a 2 x double bedded room. Please install a functioning/reachable toilet roll holder!
