Planning a trip to Sheffield? Whether you’re rolling in for a business deal, chasing gigs at the Utilita Arena, wrangling the kids for a family weekend, or sneaking away for a couple’s city break, the big question is: where should you stay? 

Sheffield has a neighbourhood (and an Avo Apartment) for everyone. From buzzing city-centre pads to leafy spots near parks, cosy studios to spacious family homes, there’s a perfect match for every type of traveller. Here’s your quick guide to finding the right one for you:

For the Suit-and-Laptop Crowd (Business Travellers)

If your diary is full of back-to-back meetings, presentations, or remote-working sessions, you’ll want to be near the action. Sheffield’s city centre is a no-brainer. You’ll have quick access to the train station, a buzzing café culture for coffee catch-ups, and after-hours dining spots to wind down in.

That’s why Priestley House Studios hit the mark for professionals. Compact and modern with lightning-fast WiFi, these studios make it easy to log into Zoom or polish up a pitch deck. If you fancy something with a little more style, Kelham Chapel offers a 1-bed apartment set in a beautifully restored building just minutes from the centre. Think heritage charm meets work-ready comfort.

For the Chaos-but-Cute Crew (Families)

Travelling with kids is a full-time sport. You’ll want extra bedrooms, a kitchen that can handle late-night snacks and early-morning cereal, and easy access to green spaces when the little ones need to burn off some energy.

Helmton House is ideal for families — with multiple bedrooms, a full kitchen, and plenty of space to spread out, it’s perfect for longer stays or busy weekends in the city. For something central, Kelham Chapel provides stylish, family-friendly apartments close to Sheffield’s main attractions.

For the Lovebirds (Couples & Weekend Visitors)

Sheffield may not scream “romance” the way Paris does, but couples in the know head to Kelham Island. It’s full of candlelit restaurants, quirky bars, and cobbled streets that look great on Instagram.

If your trip is all about good food, cocktails, and a bit of people-watching, then Kelham Chapel is your match. The exposed brick walls and modern touches make it perfect for a cosy weekend together. For something simpler and snug, Priestley House Studios offer a stylish studio vibe where you can curl up with a takeaway and a bottle of wine after exploring the city.

For the Big Life Shifters (Relocators)

Moving to a new city isn’t just about unpacking boxes, it’s about finding a base that feels stable while you get your bearings. You’ll want flexible stays, practical layouts, and access to public transport.

That’s where Bessemer House comes in. With budget-friendly rooms and shared facilities, it’s ideal if you’re testing the waters before committing long-term. If you’d rather something private while still being flexible, our Kelham Chapel offers fully furnished spaces with all the home comforts, perfect for month-to-month stays while you figure out the rest.

For the Fur Baby Parents (Pet Owners)

Sheffield is one of the UK’s greenest cities, which means your dog (or cat) will be just as happy to visit as you are. With Norfolk Park and loads of dog-friendly pubs and cafés, you won’t struggle to keep those tails wagging.

Our Priestley House Studios are a top choice for pet owners. Just a short stroll from Norfolk Park, they give your pup the space to stretch their legs without compromising on central convenience. Prefer to stay closer to the action? Kelham Chapel also welcomes pets and gives you quick access to both the city centre and leafy walking routes.

For the Squad (Groups & Friends)

Big trips mean big memories, and usually, big appetites. Whether it’s a stag do, hen party, or just a mates’ getaway, you’ll want space to sprawl, cook together, and maybe compete over a game or two.

That’s why Helmton House is a winner. With multiple bedrooms, spacious communal areas, and its very own games room (yes, complete with a pool table and darts), it’s basically designed for groups who want to mix relaxation with a little friendly competition. Shared meals, late-night laughs, and Netflix marathons all fit right in here.

So, where should you stay in Sheffield? Easy. Wherever fits your trip vibe. From city-centre business bases to family-friendly houses, pet-welcoming flats, and stylish studios for date weekends, Avo Apartments has something for every type of traveller.
