Kelham Apartments Sheffield

The space and the facilities were all clean, beds very comfortable and the people who let the property had very good communication, super friendly and checked in to see if we needed anything.

Great location for Kelham Island events. Comfortable bed, two TVs, lovely powerful shower, tidy property. Also very friendly booking team.

It needed a proper clean, unfortunately dirty on the seats, in the drawers and in the shower. Took an hour to heat the room, we didn’t take our coats off. Once heated up it was a comfortable temperature.

Firstly, the apartment we stayed in was not the one in the photo above. We liked the water pressure and the ample hot water in the shower. The location was fantastic. We really fell in love with Kelham Island. A place buzzing with artisan type cafes, bakeries and great eateries. There was street art and murals everywhere. A great vibe and we will definitely go back.

There was no heating on when we arrived after a very long journey (mid November). The apartment had been cleaned although I found a jelly sweet on the floor just peeking out from under the bed and a tampon, still in its wrapper, peeking out from under a chair in the sitting area. There was a broken window ( internal pane of double glazing), broken window blinds, nowhere to hang jackets, a broken fridge door, inadequate kitchen items for a two week stay including only one tea towel and missing grouting in the very place you step as you go into the en-suite bathroom. The sink was oversized for the bathroom and necessitated squeezing between it and the extremely hot towel rail ( when it was switched on by us) in order to get to the toilet. Neither of us is a large framed person so i imagine some larger framed people may actually find it impossible to get to the loo. The whole apartment had a very well used and unloved feel which was not what we were looking for in a two week stay. The couch and chair in the sitting room were uncomfortable and extremely well used. We did contact the staff who were very polite but seemed at a loss to actually do anything practical to help. They sent someone over, who arrived with no tools. He attempted unsuccessfully to fix the blinds and left telling me that there would be new blinds next week. We received an email telling us that we could rest assured that all the issues we highlighted would be sorted out after we’d left! One evening the alarm went off. It transpired that it had been activated by steam from a shower in a different apartment in the block. We met some neighbours who stay there regularly who told us the alarm goes off sometimes. We left a day early to go and stay in a hotel one night before heading home.
