The Spotlight on Garrison Hotel

Historic Style Meets Live Music Convenience in Sheffield

Converted from an old guardhouse, the Garrison Hotel blends unique historic character with modern comfort. Located in Sheffield’s Hillsborough Barracks area, this cozy, atmospheric hotel is just a short 10-minute drive from the city center and its top concert venues. With simple, well-equipped rooms, free WiFi, and hearty food served daily in its on-site restaurant, it’s a solid choice for music fans looking for something a little different.

Why Concert-goers love it

Music fans appreciate the Garrison Hotel’s proximity to Sheffield Arena, O2 Academy, and other downtown venues—without the noise of staying right in the center. Public transport links are excellent, and there’s free on-site parking if you’re driving in for the show. With check-in from 16:00 and a generous check-out time of 12:00, you’ve got time to recover after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends on a gig weekend
  • Solo travelers following their favorite band
  • Couples combining live music with a romantic escape
  • Fans wanting peace and quiet after the encore
  • Budget-conscious concert-goers looking for great value

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant is open daily with a mix of hearty British meals and lighter continental options—perfect fuel before or after a gig. A full cooked breakfast is available each morning, even after a late night. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the hotel is within a 5-minute walk of local restaurants and takeaways for late-night bites.

Nightlife Options

The Garrison serves rotating local beers from nearby breweries, giving it a local pub feel without even leaving the building. While there’s no on-site live music, you’re a quick ride from Sheffield’s vibrant bar and club scene. Whether you’re after a chilled pint or something more lively, it’s all within easy reach.

What People Say

Guests love the Garrison’s quirky historic building, friendly staff, and free parking. It’s consistently praised for its clean, comfortable rooms and good value, especially for those attending events in Sheffield. The local beer selection and hearty meals also get frequent shout-outs.

Areas for Improvement

Some visitors mention that the decor in rooms is a bit basic compared to more modern hotels, and that noise can carry a bit between rooms. Still, most agree it’s part of the charm of a historic building—and the trade-off for character and location is worth it.

The Bottom Line

If you’re heading to Sheffield for a concert and want a unique, affordable place to stay with great transport links and local flavor, the Garrison Hotel hits all the right notes.

Good

Liked: Good location, comfortable beds. Nice breakfast and good service.
Disliked: No AC in room, just a small fan found in cupboard on morning we left, that threw out lots of dust. Felt unsafe leaving only window open overnight as opened onto walkway. Too many stairs to room, to restaurant/bar, and very noisy till the early hours. Restaurant closed due to function, so ate dinner in bar. Service good but options limited & steak very gristly.
