The Spotlight on The Fitzwilliam Arms Hotel

Classic Comfort Minutes from the Music

The Fitzwilliam Arms Hotel is a no-fuss, budget-friendly stay just outside central Rotherham. With a traditional pub-style vibe and plenty of free parking, it's a solid choice for concert-goers headed to the area. You're just a short drive from the train station, and within 5 miles of the Motorpoint Arena—one of the region’s top live music venues.
Inside, expect a casual atmosphere, friendly staff, and practical amenities like free Wi-Fi and on-site dining options.

Why Concert-goers love it

If you're heading to a show, this hotel has your back. The Motorpoint Arena is under 15 minutes away by car, and you’ll avoid the city-center traffic and parking stress with the hotel’s free private parking. After the encore, wind down at the hotel bar or retreat to your room for a quiet night. With a 2:00 PM check-in, there’s time to settle in before the show. Just be aware of the 10:30 AM check-out if you're catching some extra sleep post-concert.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a budget-friendly base with a bar to hang out in
  • Solo travelers catching a gig and wanting a quiet, safe place to crash
  • Couples making a weekend of it and exploring nearby Rotherham and Sheffield
  • Fans needing recovery time in a laid-back setting after a loud night
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who’d rather spend on tickets than hotel extras

Food and Drink Options

The Fitzwilliam Arms serves up affordable meals, from full English breakfasts to hearty Sunday carveries. There’s also lunch and evening meals available on-site, great for grabbing a bite before heading out. While there’s no 24-hour room service, the hotel bar offers a good range of drinks and snacks—and with Parkgate Shopping Park just a 10-minute walk away, you’ve got easy access to fast food and casual dining.

Nightlife Options

Enjoy a few pints or cocktails at the hotel bar before or after the show. It’s a relaxed space with 4 TV screens and 2 pool tables—ideal for a casual night in. If you’re in the mood for more action, a short taxi ride puts you in reach of Rotherham’s pubs or Sheffield’s late-night scene.

What People Say

Guest reviews highlight the friendly staff, great value for money, and convenient location near shopping and event venues. Many praise the clean rooms and appreciate the on-site parking. The bar atmosphere and food offerings also get positive mentions from those wanting a casual stay.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel isn’t ultra-modern, so expect more traditional decor and basic furnishings. Noise from the bar can carry to nearby rooms, so light sleepers might want to request a quieter area. Also, the 10:30 AM check-out might feel a little early after a late night.

The Bottom Line

If you're seeing a show in Rotherham or Sheffield and want an affordable, easygoing place to recharge, The Fitzwilliam Arms Hotel is a reliable pick.

All things considered a good...

Liked: Size of bed was okay and reasonable size room. Plenty of tea/coffee provided.
Disliked: Room too hot - went during heatwave and with 1 window which would only open a small way we could not cool down during the night. A fan would have been most welcomeTV remote missing from original room - but they moved us to one which had one so worked out okay

Dirty, loud, unorganised and creepy

Liked: The location
Disliked: First of all, we made our booking online and it said it was £50. When we got there, the reception was closed, and we had to check in at the bar (on a notepad) cause they said the website was down, and for that, instead of £50 apparently it was £55. When we entered the room, it was really hot and they didn’t even have a fan (of course, nor an A/C). When we looked at the toilet, there was poop (which is not weird due to the lack of toilet brush), and the sink is knee height. There’s only one plug socket and it’s on the ceiling (there is a kettle, and no way to plug it in). Edit: we double checked and there actually was another plug socket, but they are hidden behind a chest of drawers (very convenient). There’s a light switch broken, and there are chunks all over the floor. My boyfriend was bitten by a few bugs. There was a smashed insect on the bathroom wall. There was something in the sink that I don’t even want to know what it was (when you’re brushing your teeth you have to look at it). Both the towels and the bed were hairy and stained.On the plus side, the location is great (next to shops), the bed was very comfortable and despite the party going on in the next room, we had a good night’s sleep.
