I have Been here for 3 years already. The Accommodation is right in the city centre and my walk to University, entertainment, or grocery store is less than 10 minutes, all that for a reasonable price, they do also have a common room with a free TV and billiards table but I usually just go out since the building is so close to the West Street. Besides the location and good, wifi, the staff is great. Even though it has changed over the years, they are still solving my problems in due time, making events and offering snacks and other stuff for free. Rachel, for example, is one of the staff members that helped me with a peculiar problem regarding gifts for my little sister so I got to thank her. If you meet her in the reception, I am sure she will help you if you ask.

I honestly love living here, it’s not too quiet, yet not too loud, it’s well situated between west street and the moor, making everything close by! (Dominos, Taco Bell, Nando’s, the lot are dead close!) It’s easy to get to places like Meadowhall with the tram stops on west street. The rooms are a good size and the maintenance team are quick and really helpful. At the reception staff always have an upbeat vibe and there is always something going on (competitions etc) I would absolutely recommend it and am looking to stay here next year!

Recently moved in to one of their en suites and so far it's been great! One of the cheapest en suites in Sheffield, and for the money they really do deliver. Room was nice and clean when i got here, and it pretty much looks as good as it does in the pictures. Had an issue with the room's fuse at some point, but Tom from maintenance quickly resolved the issue. Their social events are a lot of fun, and although their communal area is rather lacking, they are building a new one (which looks pretty amazing on paper). So would i recommend a room here? Yeah, definitely! I'd say to pay the extra 10 quid a week and opt for a quiet room if loud music on the weekends bothers you though.

The location of Devonshire courtyard is really the only positive that it has to offer. It is close to both campuses, and to supermarkets and shops, but that is about it. Many appliances are broken and were when I moved in. Security is shocking and it is very easy for anyone to get in. It is overpriced, especially considering the tiny amount of space that you get compared to other accommodations. The price of washing is ridiculous, and the social areas are poor. I would not recommend this accommodation at all unless you want to waste your entire student loan on a disgusting flat.

This is by far the worst student accommodation in Sheffield, you will be paying one of he highest rates of rent for the poorest services and appliances. The staff that work there are great but the problem lies higher up. A lackluster attempt at accomodaton. The appliances are the cheapest you can get with them still being somehow legal, the walls are paper thin and the floor space you get is embarassing. If you are unfortunate enough to have this accomodation suggested to you avoid at all costs, you'll save so much money travelling from home or choosing another accomodation such as bramall court. The laundry services are poor, the security is poor and worst of all you'll probably have a half broken kitchen which you'll have to wait months for to get it sorted. The single saving grace about this tower block of hell is the location. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Absolutely the best decision for me. I can't stress how amazing living at Dev C has been like I have met my absolute best friends here and none of them are even from my flat! Devonshire Courtyard is such an amazing place for socialising like all you need to do is head down to the courtyard and there is literally always someone to talk to. Some reviews say about the noise from corporation. (the night club at the back) but honestly you can't here anything. My room faces out into the courtyard and there is rarely any bad noise, even if there has been a noise complaint is dealt with by security in a matter of minutes. The staff are absolutely amazing and you will always feel 100% safe here. It is a 5 mins walk to uni and again one of the best accomodation. I've never k own anyone move out of here and go to a different accommodation. Ask anyone it's one of the best decisions you'll ever make!

Size of the room is nice, really big desk and fitted wardrobe, decent sized bathroom. Living on top of corp has absolutely no benefits, walls everywhere are so thin you can hear everything, including what the flat upstairs are saying word for word in a normal conversation, reception are friendly and deal with all your issues straight away, only one person has the postbox key so not fab if you don't get along with your flat, wifi was shocking to start with until we had a box put in, if you're a student nurse or on a healthcare course that works early morning shifts i wouldnt recommend at all, corp can keep you awake until 3/4am which isnt ideal before a 7am start for 12 hours, accomodation is in dire need of a refurb and modernising, weekly price could easily be cheaper for what you get, single bed and no full body lenght mirror

This is the worst accommodation ever, go to Fenton House next door. If someone who was manky lived in your room last year, then your tiny shower will be full of mould that won't come off, and an overall disgusting bathroom. (Cleaners don't clean it at end of year) Rooms are pretty small and cleaners don't 'clean' much. Kitchen is old and outdated, so are the bedrooms, and if you're paying upwards of £101 a week (it's going up next year) you at least expect something decent, but Unite students just take your money and give you a bog hole to live in. When I moved in the kitchen hadn't been given a good clean like I would expect with new tenants coming at the beginning of the year, again, mould in cupboards, sticky booze stains over the walls, stained curtain hanging by a thread and the most disgusting fridge I've ever seen, 2cm of yellow slime at the bottom. The wifi is also awful. On an upside, the courtyard is a good way to make friends at Freshers and the location is sound.

Half of the complex is refurbished and value for money, the other half is old, broken and outdated but everyone still pays £95 a week. It's home now but I was disappointed when I moved in, had to have quite a few things fixed/replaced straight away; if it wasn't for the fact that my housemates are now my best friends, I would have hated living here. Everyone's really nice though and the location is pretty much the best you're going to get for Sheffield. The staff are nice, Rob the receptionist is lovely and Dave the security man has been a highlight on many nights out. The flat's are supposed to be cleaned by a cleaner every two weeks but for the first 7 months we had the laziest male cleaner in the world, NEVER cleaned anything but the nice lady who has *hopefully* replaced him and received a pay rise works incredibly hard, your kitchen will be squeaky clean if she's on the case. Overall, probably wouldn't change it for the world but I'm very much looking forward to moving out!
