Why Concert-goers love it
Its strategic location between major cities means you're just a short drive from several key concert venues, including arenas and stadiums in Sheffield and Doncaster.

Food and Drink Options
The hotel’s onsite restaurant serves a mix of British and European cuisine, perfect for a pre-show meal or late dinner. There’s also a bar if you fancy a quick drink before or after your event. While it doesn't offer 24/7 room service, the nearby towns of Rotherham and Bramley offer takeaway options if you're back late. Breakfast is available, making mornings after gigs a little easier.
Nightlife Options
While you won’t find live music onsite, the hotel’s location makes it a great base for exploring nightlife in Sheffield or Doncaster. Whether you're heading to a large arena or planning drinks at a nearby pub, you’re never far from the action. Afterward, the quiet setting makes it easy to wind down.
What People Say
Guests praise the
friendly staff,
clean rooms, and
excellent value for money. Many reviews mention how easy it is to access local venues by car and appreciate the free parking. The WiFi is reliable, and the restaurant is considered a convenient bonus.
Areas for Improvement
The décor is a little dated, and the location in an industrial estate means there’s not much to see on foot. Some guests noted a lack of air conditioning in warmer months. But if you're mostly out for a concert and just need a good night’s sleep, it likely won't be a dealbreaker.
The Bottom Line
Primelodge Rotherham is a smart, budget-friendly pick for concert-goers who want a quiet place to crash with easy access to Sheffield, Doncaster, and beyond.
