Sheffield 3 Reviews

Very helpful and friendly staff and very patient with people who do not understand what is being said to them! Great service! Just wish i was living nearby Ryan was brilliant

I loved staying here, the silver en suite room I stayed in was very spacious and just big enough for my comfort. The WiFi here is strong, fast, and reliable and I never had any problems with them beside maintenance which were out of their control. The desk was huge and space was not a problem for me at all. I could have my own desktop pc and my laptop whilst still having space for studying or eating inside. I also like having a carpet floor for my rooms, although this is subjective. The bathroom however, is meh at best. The shower area could be a bit bigger and the tray was a bit too small for my liking. This could be me being a bit too nitpicky but I had just enough space for my electric toothbrush charger and my other toiletries. The shower could also flood if you are in for too long so that's something to keep in mind. The kitchen/communal room was always messy as there are no cleaners coming to clean the kitchen. At least the trash bags were being thrown away once every 2 weeks?

Cons - Poor and inconsistent parcel reception service. - Some of the reception staff are rude and unhelpful- but some are lovely. - There’s no cleaning service, so the communal bins are always a mess and overflowing. - The rooms and kitchen hadn’t been cleaned properly before we moved in. - The social aspect of things here is really bad. - The bathrooms flood when you use the shower. - It’s not the most secure site - the public transport links to the uni are pretty poor - so be prepared to walk or Uber. - wouldn’t recommend for 1st year students who want to make friends. - laundry facilities are hard to use Pros - The WiFi is good - All bills are included. - the rooms are well laid out and a good size. - there’s parking facilities available. - it’s not extortionately expensive. - you’re about 5 minutes from Tesco’s, 10 from a gym and 15 from Uni of Sheffield. - some of the reception staff are really friendly. It goes both ways unfortunately.

I want to express my appreciation for sheffield 3 where i felt like home during the time i lived here. I stayed in sheffield 3 for a whole year from september 8th 2018. While i lived here there was no problem whatsoever. The staff were friendly and warm and always had a smile in their faces and treated us with their brilliant service. They organised many events over the year including welcome, halloween party, christmas and new year, chinese new year and competitions like fifa. They often provide free snacks and soft drinks which is awesome. There is a huge tesco just 5 mins walk from the building. University is just mere 15 mins walk but it is an uphill walk which is an everyday exercise. If u hate walking Trams run just 2 mins walk from the building which stops right outside the university near the information commons library. I booked the room via unilodgers agency. The price was reasonable as well with just £99 per week with all bills included. The room was silver ensuite and was

I came here to write a review but my daughter has even started yet, she plans to join in September, however I wanted to leave a review regarding a member of staff who was a massive help. In the build up to moving to Sheffield 3 as a parent I was having more and more worries and had a lot of questions. When calling I was put through to Hannah Dawson. Hannah was great and reassured us, as a previous student she was able to offer sensible advice. If you need any advice regarding Sheffield 3, give Hannah a call. thanks

Lived for a year now and rebooked for next year too. Spacious rooms, good location, good pricing and friendly staff. Definitely recommnded!

They promised me a discount because I referred a friend, however later on they told me the contract was not completed correctly. They didn't provide any guidance for this, I asked them when I submitted the contracts if all the information is correct and at that time they said is fine. Now they are trying to force me to pay without giving me any discount and the manager even refused to have a face to face chat with me, just to clarify this complicated situation created by them. Horrible way to treat your customers and I don't recommend to nobody to move in. Matter fact, they are very unprofessional, each of the staff members will tell you different things if you ask them about a particular problem, which makes everything very difficult.

Came to collect my parcel, usually met professionally by security the reception boy was vile and started rapping f word swear words at reception from reception, very vile and unprofessional.

Whilst the dorm is good the downside is the wierd guy on reception during the day. His behaviour is creepy and he acts like he’s a gangster, but has the personality of a dead moth. He’s rude all the times and imitates Chinese and African accents, this is deluded and very racist. Had very wierd interactions with this one guy. Management needs a wake up call to get someone better who isn’t rude.

Great place, massive common room and improving all the time. Close to the university, tram stop and Tesco

Horrible, horrible, horrible! They do not take into account any of your requests before moving in. Rude receptionists. Rats. Horrible!

Horrible. The staff did not even bother to clean my flat before moving in: the smell was dreadful, definitely unwelcoming. The receptionists do not do anything to help you. NOW THERE IS A RAT INFESTATION because the building next door has been demolished.

Amazing place to live. Close to Tesco’s and the tram stop. Rooms are huge and cheap

Very decent place! It is very close to Tesco superstore which is very convenience.

My shower floods my whole bathroom and my carpet

Good price, excellent location! - Superb! Place to be.

It is not clean around the area with flies and even mice appearing at night.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Sheffield 3. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Especially Joe who helped me when I needed urgent maintenance, Him and Lauren at the reception made my stay there so enjoyable and i'm gutted to have graduated as i would have stayed there next year.

Great location with tram stop right outside, supermarket not far and close to the university, reasonably priced for the rooms compared to most in my opinion too! Staff are really friendly and have great social events including movie nights and parties for students. - would definitely recommend :)

Really friendly staff, great facilities, price and location, sad to be leaving - will be back if I do a post-grad!

Fantastic location, great service and excellent rooms for the price!

Great location, friendly staff, all communal areas kept clean. Good vide throughout. What's not to like.

Great location just outside the TRAM stop, loads of social activities. Staff are well nice and the Manager with the beard is a right hunk!

Excellent location and very close to everything. Awesome vibe in the place and everyone is really great. I see what some of my other friends live and our halls are so much better in comparison by a mile.

Amazing place to live, friendly staff and all the studios and kitchens will be brand new for September, common room is amazing!

The best student accommodation I have stayed in! Great price, great room sizes, and excellent service from the management team! Also very close to the Sheffield City Center and the Sheffield University!

Great rooms and location, awesome and friendly staff, would recommend!

It has a good location because it is next to the tram station and only less than 5 min walk can arrive tesco superstore. Also, it will spead 10min walk from here to USIC and liberaries. Here will have free breakfast every Wedseday morning. But here is a bit far away from student union which will spead you half an hour for walking, and city centre would spend 20 min.

The place is well allocated, near the Uni and you won't have a problem to get there. Rooms are not the best but seems fair for a shared flat. However, Studios are not so tidy and need a lot of improvement, from cleaning windows on the outside to repaint the whole room, change rug and mattresses. In terms of Social events, be in mind that you're arriving another country with different culture so the common room is quite good but don't expect much from the social events. Organise yours with friends like we did several times. I honestly won't recommend this place for further than 1 year. There are cheaper and new buildings around the area with competitive prices.

hello. i say yes. they email and face book to try and get you to come back next year and give good review lots. but is close to university and tesco :-)

First of all the rooms are average not big nor small, the people working here are very nice but its hard to tell them to do somthing since they talk long time to process an order for example it took them 4 months so far to answer my question

Try to bribe people to write good reviews; last time it was free hoodies, now it's giveaways. There is no cleaning per room. WiFi/Internet can be dodgy but overall works ok. Very expensive in my opinion. Location is good in relation to the uni itself but terrible for social activities; most people are in Endcliffe etc. on the other side of the Uni. Also, if you're ever planning on receiving parcels here then don't bother; you get a single 2 hour window each day to collect mail. Washing machines also fail regularly.

Good accommodation. Close to the university. Nice events are organised and interesting benefits for students (breakfasts, the gym)

A great environment to start and build your university life! Best common room I've seen so far! Very spacious rooms and kitchens for the price! Great services and secured with friendliest staff! Awesome opportunity to meet new friends! Overall, 'couldn't have chosen any better place for uni' :)

I am an international student doing a year of master degree , living in the U.K. and sheffield for the first time is sort of scary. But the experience I had in sheffield 3 was very good everyone is friendly when I had problems in accommodating they helped me. The location is very good I can't even stress it enough, you a bus stop,tram and you can walk, a big supermarket is close too.

Spacious rooms in an excellent location. The common room is amazing and a great social space

Four years living here, going for a fifth. I have seen constant improvement under different managements. Great value. 100% would recommend

Spacious rooms, nice environment and friendly staff :)

In terms of value for money, you can't go wrong with Sheffield 3. The rooms are extremely spacious, (as my friends have commented when they came to visit), and have adequate storage space and extremely comfortable mattresses. The staff were extremely helpful when moving in, and have continued to be helpful throughout my academic year. The accommodation is only around 13 minutes walk from most Uni of Sheffield faculties, and the proximity to the Shalesmoor tram stop makes going to and from Sheffield extremely doable as well.
