Most helpful review

Westhill Hall is a decent choice for student accommodation, offering a mix of comfort, convenience, and affordability. Below, I’ve highlighted its key aspects: Location Westhill Hall is well-situated, making it easy to access the main campus and surrounding amenities. Public transport links are reliable, and there are local shops, cafes, and supermarkets nearby, which adds to the convenience. Facilities The accommodation provides essential facilities, including furnished rooms with comfortable beds, desks, and storage. Common areas are generally clean and well-maintained, providing good spaces for socializing or group study. However, kitchen and communal spaces can sometimes feel a bit cramped, especially during peak hours. The building offers secure entry, which adds peace of mind. Some accommodations also include laundry services and a decent Wi-Fi connection, though the internet speed may slow during busy periods.

All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation

What tenancy length do I need?

Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.

Should I stay in catered student accommodation?

This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.

What is a guarantor and do I need one?

A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.

Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?

Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.

What bills will my rent include?

If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.

What is purpose-built student accommodation?

Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.

Will my student accommodation be furnished?

Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.

Recommend an ethernet cable. Very close to shops. Close to west street to if you want that. Recommend getting a heater or at least a few blankets. Windows seem thin, might want some earplugs. And bring the bug killer, watch out for silverfish.

Don't get me wrong the accomodation wasn't a bad price for the location. However the amount of issues that are present it isn't at all worth it. The fact that they offer gift cards for people to write 5 star reviews should tell you everything you need to know. - no working oven for the whole year been told it was fixed when it hasn't been - no working lock on the door which they only fixed 5 months into the year - flatmates toilet flooded and they haven't fixed it weeks later so there's toilet water with feaces in when u flush that leaks - staff are friendly and helpful however not with maintance requests and you never know if reception will be open or shut due to them opening and closing when they feel like it - new heaters that you can't turn on as they are shut off downstairs to save costs - flatmates shower broke and wasn't fixed in a timely manner Positives are friendly staff and location, however staff last year were sleeping with tenants so maybe too friendly

Overall I would have to say my experience here was quite disappointing. I booked the en-suite premium range for £110 in 23/24 so the price was worth the size of the room. But the price for 24/25 went up to £121 which is not worth the price anymore. The room with the furniture and toilet are so old, torn and broken. What peeves me the most is the laundry service. I do laundry once a week and MOST of the time my clothes come out still DAMP. I even tumble dry it twice and it was still came out damp and warm. The reception is also close randomly most of the time. It used to open from 7am-10pm straight but now it changed to 10am-12pm and 2pm-7pm. While the distance to university isn’t the worse but it’s also not the best. I find myself just buying food in uni a lot because going back and forth would take around half an hour. With all these issues, I honestly would have rather paid slightly more to live in accommodation that is closer and has better facilities.

Westhill Hall has been one of the best choices I’ve made since moving to university. Staff have been welcoming and helpful since the beginning, maintenance requests have been dealt with quickly and the courtyard is always kept clean. Westhill also has one of the best locations, it’s right next to west street where all the night life takes place, there’s a Tesco down the road and it’s a 10min walk into town/ university. I’ve enjoyed my year here so much that I’ve reapplied for next year!

Maintenance requests are looked at swiftly and any queries are met as quickly as possible by the staff in charge. Would highly recommend living here for students applying in Sheffield.

Such an ideal location, living near the moor, west street, university, everything is in reach and walking distance. We have 2 tescos less than 5 min walk away. Such a great price for the space and room you get, I hear very little from my roommates due to quite soundproof walls and doors. Maintenance arrive and solve issues quickly and reception is always willing to help and host events such as a meditation, free doughnuts and pancakes throughout the year and a valentines craft event. The common room is good for studying and have comfortable seats. Being so close to West Street and Division Street means that I have lots of places I can hang out with my friends. Having the Devonshire green right outside is also a bonus for hanging out and having picnics with friends when it gets warmer. WiFi and internet is always very quick and very rarely ever goes down and if so for an hour at most. I would 100% recommend living here, proven by the fact I decided to live here next year as well.

Location, Location, Location. Westhill hall sits right below the two best streets known to Sheffield. Here lays the premier night out on west street that attracts hundreds of students wanting to tick off each club at a time. With this 2 minute walk to all the best clubs brings an efficient pre drinks with all your flat mates and mates in the surrounding blocks. Getting home has never been so easy. But before the sun goes down , all the mellow indie students will walk to the street of Devonshire in search of the best thrift shops , pubs and restaurants. This vibrant location really HAS IT ALL. Let’s talk money. Westhill hall is one of the cheapest selections compared to all accommodation Sheffield Hallam provides. The cost of rent at westhill leaves a considerate amount of money for you to emerge yourself into the Sheffield culture. Going to other accommodations in Sheffield makes me conclude I have stuck with hood with better facilities , better location and a lot less pay.

Westhill Hall is centrally located to both universities in the city which makes it easy for walking to and from lectures. The rooms are spacious, clean and well maintained. The common room is well equipped with a pool table, board games, tvs, games consoles, a cinema room and a study area. The common room is great for hanging out with friends and the accomodation run great events in there. I’ve made lots of friends around the building and it’s a fab building to have a great social life. The staff are always so lovely and make it feel like a safe space to live in. Reception has great opening hours so when I need a parcel I can collect it when it suits me. There is always someone on site so I don’t have to worry about being locked out or having any issues in my flat. Overall a great place to live and would highly recommend!!

Westhill halls in Sheffield is the perfect location being located right in the city centre and so close to town, it’s a short walk away from Monday shops. It’s great value for money, cheapest accommodation I’ve found around the area for students. The staff are very helpful and always available via the app if you need them. The maintenance team is always on hand and very friendly. I’ve never had any problems here and would definitely recommend to a friend. We have a spacious kitchen and lounge area between 4 of us and we don’t feel cramped at all. The team put on lots of activities so it’s easy to meet friends and bond with the people you’re living with.

I started uni in September and this accommodation was my first choice for good reason! After speaking to my friends, it is significantly cheaper than places around Sheffield with bigger rooms and bathrooms. I often bump into employees hoovering the stairs to keep the place tidy! Any issues we’ve had in our flat have immediately been investigated and dealt with by the staff which is reassuring to know the help is there for any issues. Being so close to both campuses and the city centre, the location is absolutely perfect, and great when it comes to socialising as it’s near many pubs and restaurants. The common room is a lovely space to chat to others, watch a movie or even sit down to crack on with assignments. The staff are welcoming, warm and helpful, and I’ve met some lovely people just by living there for a couple of months so far! I couldn’t recommend Westhill hall any more, it really is everything a university study could ask for and more!

Westhill hall is great, especially for the money! It’s a lot cheaper than many of the others in Sheffield with all of the same amenities and perfect location. It’s only a 10 minute walk to Hallam university and just down the from some of the best pubs, bars and clubs on west street. Maintenance is always quick to fix any problems reported and the staff at reception are always friendly. After staying here for first year my friends and I have all decided to stay for another year after only having positive experiences at Westhill.

A great, affordable accommodation in a great location. Staff are friendly and happy to help. Rooms are comfortable with a large desk, lots of storage and good quality bed. Some minor issues but nothing major, for example a missing foot rest on one of the kitchen stools or broken switch on radiator so has to be turned on and off at the wall. One time the power shut off for my flat. Me and a flatmate went down to reception and a member of staff came back up with us immediately. She fixed the issue in around five minutes and was very friendly and sociable too.

Moving to uni was always a big anxiety for me (especially accomodation!) but ever since moving into Westhill hall they have been so accomodating to me. I had an issue with a fellow flatmate, this was dealt with quickly, effectively and discreetly by the staff in my building. The building is always on top of their maintenance requests and have always been there to help. the reception team are impeccable, always so friendly and always there to have a chat, they always make me feel comfortable and like I have people I can trust if I ever should need help. things such as team building and mental health are promoted within my building by the use of different sessions each month e.g. craft activities and mediation. westhill hall is definitely my home away from home and would recommend it to anyone thinking of going into student halls.

Could not recommend a better student residence for anyone despite the low cost. Situated in the perfect location in Sheffield for every aspect, between the two universities, supermarkets, restaurants, nightlife. Reception staff attentive and always as helpful as possible, on hand all hours of the day. They go out of their way to plan events for residents considering all backgrounds such as Chinese New Year and Shrive Tuesday. Frequent cleaning and checks performed by hardworking friendly staff. Any problems I have had such as noise complaints and small problems in the room were dealt with the same day and this is easily tracked using the app. Lots of room and activities available in the common room which is always clean and tidy. WiFi is fast, reliable and I have personally never had any problems whatsoever. The perfect accommodation for any student in Sheffield.

I have had such an amazing experience at Westhill Hall so far, so glad I chose to live here! It’s in a great central location, around a 5/10 minute walk to both universities, with so many shops/ fun things to do right on your doorstep. For the location the price is such a bargain! The staff are all so friendly, I moved to Sheffield half way through the year so I was taking over someone else’s tenancy but they ensured everything ran smoothly and I felt very well looked after. There’s a great sense of community here and everyone is very considerate of other students, it’s never too loud and all the communal spaces are kept really clean and tidy. There are always lots of events on too - most recently the free pancake breakfast on pancake day and the Valentines craft event was so fun. Westhill hall will be the first place I recommend to new students looking for a place to stay in Sheffield!

Last year, I was on my laptop, constantly searching for a new house that is near to class, asian stores and city centre. Each house that I found was either expensive or has a complicated contract. I was in the verge of giving up and just settle down in my previous accom which was a bit inconvenient in the sense of distance from uni, until I found out about Westhill Hall. I checked for availability and to my convenience, Westhill Hall filled all the criteria I listed previously. Henceforth, signing up Unite Students contract was the best decision I’ve made in that moment. I, now live with 2 of my best friends and Westhill Hall is decent and accommodating :)

It is the perfect location for being in town. The price point is very good for what you get and the facilities are grate for socialising. It is lovely that you are able to book with friends and share a flat also that it's offered not only for 1st year students.

I would definitely recommend Westhill Hall, moving away from home can be a scary experience but staying at this accommodation made it easier. It’s near the town centre and it’s a good walking distance to the shops and both Sheffield Hallam Uni campuses. Flatmates are all really friendly as well as others in the building. It’s clean and management is really helpful aswell.

Location is better then previous accomodation but ive had more issues here. Staff can sometimes be rude, sometimes refused to accept their mistakes, need to stick office hours usually office is closed when it should be open. the pricing for the accomodation is expensive but your practically paying for the location. Internet is amazing had no issues with it I wouldnt really reccomend it unless you like living closer to places.

Westhill isn't perfect. The beds aren't that comfortable, the walls are thin and there is a lot of bars around so it can get loud. However, considering how it's a pretty low weekly rent, I'd say Westhill is great value for money, particularly when there is much worse accommodations which are more expensive. Plus the location is great for pretty much all uni campuses with West Street and Corp also being really close for the nightlife ! The staff are friendly too ! I gotta give a special mention to Tammy, during the Christmas break she sent an email offering to have a chat with anyone staying at Westhill during the holidays and even gave tips for how they could spend their time. Fortunately for me I went back home for Christmas, but I know many people who had to stay in Sheffield so I know how it can be quite a lonely time so big credit for Tammy for going above and beyond !

I've lived here for over a year now. The past few months have been the worst experience and I wish I'd never rebooked. The previous manager Callum made was great and did everything for us andwas so helpful. He is missed because the current staff and management are rude and disinterested in us students. If I could move out I would. The only good thing is the cleaners who work very hard. AVOID Unite Students Sheffield!!!!

I stayed here 2022-2023. MY BIKE WAS STOLEN AND SECURITY WAS PATHETIC. On arrival my room and kitchen were very dirty and some of our equipment was unfit for use. Ongoing issue with an extreme silverfish infestation in my bathroom and they have spread into my bedroom and the kitchen on occasion, this issue has been ignored. I arrived with my shower caked in mould and rather than do something long lasting about it, maintenence only scraped what was visible off. The paint on the ceiling of my bathroom is peeling away as well as also being covered in mould. The ventilation in my room and the kitchen is horrific. Some of the radiators have unconnected timers in them so will be clicking non stop whilst they are on loudly. The laundry prices are awful, I am having to pay £5.10 weekly. The payment system through app has also seen a high amount of issues. Noise maintenance not sufficient at all. Front staff are nice but it is understaffed. I can't fit all of the places problems in this review!

Honestly the rooms themselves are fine and the kitchen area is okay . But there is a huge issue regarding washing and maintenance . If you have any form of noise issues expect nothing to be done regarding this other than a small chat which resolves nothing . Since being here I can count the good nights sleeps I have had on one hand due to issues regarding a flat mate they haven’t resolved and when an opportunity arrived to move into a different flat to resolve this they sold it off leaving me and the rest of my flat to deal with this issue . Aswel as this the washing machines are terrible , it’s lucky if you ever get a load done !! Rats are riddled everywhere and your key cards don’t always work on all the gates or even reception leaving you to very little access to places. Honestly a terrible stay. But if you want a cheap accommodation with decent room size then that’s all you’re going to get.

Brilliant people, brilliant area, Scarlett, Callum and all the other staff are amazing. House keepers Stella and Wayne brilliant people and always a good laugh when you see them. The big courtyard alls people to talk to others and create a brilliant environment within westhill. The social areas such as the common room are an amazing place for people to chill and hang out with each other. This is my second year here and I would fully consider living here for a 3rd if I wasn’t on placement. For the 2 years I’ve lived here I’ve loved every minute of it everything about westhill is amazing… especially how close you are to all the clubs as a uni student.

The place is falling apart. There are more rats than people and I’m pretty sure they are in my walls. The maintenance is slow and sometimes doesn’t even turn up. The laundry doesn’t work and costs a lot more than any other accommodation. The only reason I haven’t left is because it’s not worth it as I’m moving out of this s****** in the next couple months anyway.

My experience at westhill has been great, any of the rare issues i’ve had within the flat have been seen to and resolved within a couple of days. Members of staff at the reception are super polite and always happy to help. The accommodation it’s self is ideal and very cheap in comparison to other accommodations in sheffield. We are updated constantly on any events, if maintenance will need access to our rooms etc. I have no complaints.

Incredible place to live. Unfortunate that there isn’t enough staff to keep reception open all the time which is a requirement. Due to this parcels get returned and then refunded or lost :(

I have had such an amazing time here. I strongly recommend for anyone who wants to stay here while studying. You wont have to worry about solving issues when you are trying to rush to classes in the morning. Their 24/7 support is there to help you out and support you at any point in time that you need it.

The place has friendly staff who are helpful when you need them. I never use the social area but it looks great for those who like to socialise, as well as those who would like to study. My room is a good size, I have brought a lot of things from back home and still have ample space. There were some faults when I arrived, like my toilet seat being broken but that was quickly sorted when reported to the maintenance staff. The pantry is quite spacious and there is always a free washing machine available so I am never struggling to wash my clothes. Circuit washing systems can be quite problematic and I understand it isn’t their system but the staff were quick to help me when I had issues, they offered me a payment card which resolved my issues and I no longer have problems with circuit. Overall a good place to live, 5 minutes away from the city centre, 5 minutes away from a street full of bars and places to eat.. Tammie is always helpful towards me when I attend the reception.

It's definitely an amazing deal. Direct centre of chef field city. A decent common room, apart from when other students break stuff or steal stuff (I.e. the pool balls) but all in all. I feel like i DEFINITELY made the best choice about where to move into

It has been a great experience overall, the rooms are comfortable and spacious, and the common room provides a lot of options to socialise with people. Most grievances are resolved promptly by the reception and maintenance team. The reception team is really friendly, especially Tammie and Lily, who are always warm, kind and will more often than not provide you with a solution to your problem! The location of the accommodation is great as well as it's equidistant from both campuses of Sheffield Hallam University, and close to the City centre and West Street as well! I'll definitely recommend staying here!

An accommodation that is cheap and affordable, and includes many perks due to its fantastic location. Perfect for students that enjoy going to bars and clubs and want to have a short and safe journey home. Not only does the app allow good communication between yourself and staff, but at reception you get a lovely smile and quick service, Callum and Tammie will go out of their way to sort out any issues as quick as possible!

Great accomodation. Maintenance issues are sorted out within a short period of time. Front desk creates activities in order to get the students to socialise with each other and find new friends. This is great as I de-stress students from Uni pressure. They don’t have to go out as these activities are held in the common room. In the common room there are various things to do other than study. And students can entertain themselves

At around 100 pw you can't really do better in sheffield. The location is great for a social life and you're also in between both sheffield hallam campuses which is amazing, it's just a little trek to the train station. Property management seems to be on point from my point of view, maintenance response is faster than my old accommodation. The common room is much better than the ones I've been to be in sheffield, and it helps that there is multiple tvs, a vending machine and a cinema room, wish there was a ps5 in the common room though. The social experience is great but that's more because of the people that have won their lottery to live with me. During the first half of the school year the WiFi was really spotty however since January I had 0 problems with it. Can't go better for than westhill for this price.

I loved living here this year and have a room booked here for my 2nd year at hallam too! Great location: near to the main bar strip in Sheffield for nights out (West Street). Also, it’s 2 minutes from Tesco/KFC/Subway/Dominoes and 5 minutes from the Moor Market and high street. Each campus is a 10-15 minute walk max too. The rooms are a good size and you get a en-suite too so don’t need to worry about sharing a bathroom. The kitchens are also modern and I didn’t struggle for cupboard space. There’s a TV which my flatmate linked his Apple TV box to, so we always have movie nights. :) It’s also a very sociable and friendly hall. The staff set up a Facebook group initially for us to find our flatmates before we moved in on freshers week but also to update us on any events they run ( cake, sweets and chocolate available in the office to celebrate days e.g Halloween / Christmas themed)

I’ve been here for my first year and I’ve loved every second of it. The location is the best part in my opinion. You’re close to all the clubs and bars (but not too close that it’s really loud). West street is a 2 minute walk and the moor and moor market are a 4 min walk away. Additionally you’re soooo close to town and a 10 min walk away from uni. Just the best location ! It is a very sociable hall, so if you’re not a social person, then this is not the place for you. The management and on site team are lovely, and there’s a security guard on site 24/7- who I’ve seen help many drunk people multiple times. The bathrooms are very small. They’re tiny but you get used to it. The only downside is the noise. My room backs onto Devonshire lane which is an ‘alley way’ that constantly has people walking through it, which can be noisy at night sometimes. A bar and restaurant also back onto the lane and they can be quite loud during close. But I’d still pick liberty again, loved it here

Don't be fooled by big rooms and amazing location. Staff aren't keen to help and can be intrusive with the managers and maintenance letting themselves in to the flats whenever they want. Really boring atmosphere overall in liberty hall not very much going on at all so doesn't really matter that the walls are paper thin and the kitchens are set out in an unsociable way, with all the seats facing one way. The quality of the fittings and furniture in the flats is much lower than most of the other halls I have visited in Sheffield, theres not enough storage space in the kitchen or the bedrooms and I shared one small fridge with 4 people. Spotted mice around the flats a few times and always near the outside bins. Overall not at all what I thought my halls experience would be, i didn't expect to be living in luxury but I did think it would at least be fun and entertaining but all i can think is boring. Can't wait to move into a house next year

The location is great and so are my flatmates. However, I’m very disappointed. When I moved in, my bathroom had mould in several spots (maybe the reason I’ve been ill a lot while living here). And there are cracks on the walls and every week there are bugs crawling out of them in my bedroom. I clean my flat literally all the time, there’s nothing I could do to prevent these problems. I find it quite unfair that Liberty Hall is the only Hallam accommodation that us Erasmus students can have while my English friends live in new, clean, bugless halls. The staff is super nice though!

My room is a double room which I pay £15 more per week for, however the room itself is smaller than all the other rooms available. Feel very ripped off by this. I have openly heard the hall management saying that they “hate students” and as such they email us almost weekly introducing new rules that would not exist in any other student accommodation on the planet. The internet access is taken down for maintenance almost 2 times every week, which when working on assignments is very disruptive. When I signed my contract we were promised a flat TV license (we were told this only covered the TV provided and not any laptops or personal TV’s) and a cleaner for the shared spaces, neither of these have been provided and I have not had a response from Liberty Living, only a very rude email from the halls manager almost telling me to get lost with my complaints. Would not recommend this Hall to any students, Hallam is an amazing uni it’s just a shame that Liberty Living aren’t.

First year living it liberty. Has its ups and downs. The location is utterly perfect. But for the first week we had no oven between 5. It was 'next day delivered' on the sat we moved in. We expected a tues delievery. But it wasnt installed till friday. In additon our fridge broke ("due to age") the following week. Replaced in 4 days. Furthermore a wash is £2.80, not libertys fauly but coin machines or them looking at alternatives would be nicer. The reception staff are amazing & super helpful. Depends on block placement for rooms sizing. Being in a corner block our kitchen is massive ( as shown on open days) however the others are tiny and have seen plenty having 3/4 bar stools but 5 people in the flat making it near impossible to eat together. The veiws onto devs green are amazing. However its a huge eye opener & most nights tne returning students or homeless are loud so god help thr summer months when i will want the window open! Would deffo live here for the price you pay!

Disclaimer: If not for the incidents of this year I would rate 5/5 on for the two years I have lived in these halls however for transparency I feel it's only fair to inform prospective tenants of my experience. At the beginning of this academic year, just one week before we were due to move in, we received an email saying that during the year refurb of all flats would be taking place. This would mean at any time we would be asked to move out all of our things into a different room - lets not downplay the enormity of that task. On top of this, evidently, there would be construction noise throughout the year. I don't know if I'm being sensitive but it seems a bit deceptive to only inform student once their contract is in place and money has been taken. Update - this did not happen in the end due to one of the flats in the halls giving out static shock through the en suite taps/water for over a month. My guess is the refurb is for next year now but funnily enough they don't know yet.

As a second year this was my 2nd year in halls and I wouldn't be fooled by the location of this halls. The location is perfect being minutes from everything. However, it is much in need of referb the bathroom is tiny with just about enough space, rooms are decently sized yet do not compare with that of unite students. The kitchen is the best part of the flat however even this is small in comparison to other halls. To make the halls experience even better we were constantly surrounded by the sound of workmen and disruption to our lives with drills and other work happening almost every day. On moving in i was also surprised to find my room not up to my own standards of cleanliness resulting in me cleaning the whole of my new flat before using anything. The staff were nice and approachable which made the experience slightly better.

Decent for the price, however the location and thin walls means you can hear everyone going to/coming from a night out (they love to shout.) Maintainance let themselves in whenever they want and will take as long as they like when you need something fixed (It took 2 weeks to fix my extractor fan) They were carrying out construction throughout the year so there was plenty of loud noise throughout the day and this also left the stairwells filthy. Common room is very good, plenty of things to do. Social experience is perfect if you like to go out a lot, you save a lot of money as you don’t need to pay for a taxi. The internet is very good if you connect with an Ethernet cable, however if you connect over WiFi you’ll often have random cut outs and extremely slow speeds throughout the day/night which is insanely annoying. Overall I’d give it 2 stars.

If you get landed with good flat mates; Garuntee this will be the best year of your life. If you get landed with a bad flat mate, like me.. it's hell. If you're a light sleeper you won't get any sleep... The walls are paper thin, and if you have respectful flat mates then it's a great halls to live in, however I was placed next to a person who stays up until 3am every morning in his room making lots of noise. The halls has terrible staff in my opinion, they are inconsistent with solutions to problems and would refuse to relocate me in another flat that was free and would not sort out the issue with my loud flat mate. He internet is temprinental and not very good wirelessley but is good wired. Would never stay here again, as it's a good place to party but not to live, especially once getting to your exams and coursework deadlines.

Great location in terms of area, rooms are nice and the flat itself is modern and great, the downside this is not the place to come if you aren't the best at sleeping not donut enjoy noise, it's constantly loud from 7pm and through till 3am, you can hear every footstep above you and every door being slammed throughout the block, not to mention the walls are dead thin. I can literally hear conversations my flat mate is having which I think it's terrible. Also a lot of noise from people after a night out. Overall it's great but the noise has annoyed me to the point of wanting to leave.

A great place to be if you're really into partying as the location is fab. However it is extremely loud and the walls aren't very thick so if you're wanting quiet nights I would probably go else where. Overall it is a lovely place though and would recommend.

Lovely, modern flat. Living in a mixed flat where there's 2 girls and 2 boys. There's 8 flats in our block that we mostly talk to, great distance to Corp (on the doorstep) and west street/Carver street (literally two minutes walk) no need for public transport anywhere..such a good location. Security arent as strict as I thought but yet they're there if you need them. Had problems with my room and all was fixed the same day!

The value is great with en suits from only £95, security is good but not too strict and there are always flat parties however not too late on. It is a perfect distance from everything, Never have to walk more than 15 minutes to get anywhere.

It's a great accommodation, and I chose to live there for my second and third year at uni. It's in a great location for both city and collegiate campus.

It was very easy to make friends here in freshers as there was always a party going on somewhere. But just be aware that if you're too loud security will ask you to keep it down but they're usually fine if you're respectful and don't kick off with them. We've had many parties and just been told to keep the music down but never had any problems or been kicked out. Just don't have music too loud after like 12. The location is brilliant, one of the best for hallam. Close to all the nightlife. Like a minute to walk to corp, 5 mins to carver street and less than 10 minutes to plug/code. It takes less than 10 minutes to walk to uni at city campus and the train station. The halls are really nice compared to some of the ones my friends are staying in and they're paying more money! Also the caretakers really good at coming to fix anything that's broken or not working and it's usually done very quickly! Had the best first year living here!
