It is really a good value of money, the location is very convenient and it doesn’t take much time to supermarkets and libraries and even parks. The internal layout is satisfying and has sufficient sunshine and a nice view of the streets.The inside of the room is not very noisy and furniture is well equipped. The most important is that there is a warm atmosphere in the reception and common areas, as they will prepare many interesting activities and snacks to our students . I feel so lucky to choose Rockingham.

Very helpful staff, convenient location and overall great value for money.
Thank you for your review, please come and have a chat at reception to let us know how we can improve to gain 5 stars. We welcome students feed back. Are you aware of the improvements we are already planning to our WiFi and Common Room? Check out our Instagram page for updates on the works being carried out.
The staff are really lovely. They are very initiative and always organise different events for everyone, which often include free food. We get many freebies. Overall, it’s not the cheapest, but you do get plenty for your money. The location is quite literally the best for students who don’t drive and pretty safe in my experience (no creeps creeping around in the early mornings and late nights). The only thing I wasn’t completely satisfied with was the cleanliness. It isn’t any different than other student housings I have been to so far, but nevertheless a shocking transition from the way we are used to living at home. Luckily, the staff are ready to address all complaints and they aim to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Lastly, everyone in the building has been really responsible regarding the ongoing pandemic and we managed to keep each other safe. Overall, I’ve had a positive experience and I would recommend the place to anyone looking for private accommodation.
Thank you for your lovely review. We do understand that Student Accomodation is a big step when you first leave home and we are alway here for a (virtual) hug and a chat. We are so proud of how our residents have handled the pandemic helping to keep each other safe.
The living experience is very good
The transportation is very convenient, the location is very good, and the rooms are very large
Thank you for your 5* review. We agree that our Location is great for transport links and the Universities. We are pleased you are enjoying your stay with us.
I absolutely love living here. It’s my first year here but I’ve had a really great experience here. I love my room, the social spaces and I especially love the staff. They are so easy to talk to even if you don’t have anything official to say. I love how close it is to West Street so I don’t have to walk up to 5 mins to get what I need. Rockingham is absolutely great to live in. Oh and their free books you can borrow on the shelf and the occasional freebies like dig in bags and BoohooMAN hoodies!!
Thank you for your lovely review. We do like it when students come down for a friendly chat and we are pleased you enjoy the freebies, we hope to have many more through out the year. Have you re-booked your room for 21/22 so you can continue to enjoy the give aways next year too? We can easily do this for you so you dont miss out on our fabulous february offers.
This is my first year living at Rockingham House, and have re-booked for next year. The staff are an absolute delight and are willing to help anyone who needs it. The location is perfect for any student in sheffield as the house is located just off West Street which is close to local amenities and is a short walk to the city. I highly recommend this accommodation to any student be they from the UK or international.
Thank you for your kind words, the staff very much appreciate this. We are so pleased you have re-booked. Dont forget if you recommend friends you will be rewarded with £100 cash back per person.

Thank you for your lovely review, so glad you are enjoying your stay with us.
I have lived with RC for 2 years ( 3rd year soon), and I can say that it’s the best accommodation I have ever lived! It has everything you have with a very acceptable price! 1. It has a perfect location, it nears the Diamond, IC, most schools, Co-op, a Chinese store and Anytime fitness! 2. It’s a vary cosy place! The layout and equipment might not be fancy (because of its low price), but it gives you a sense of warm, with a little personal decoration , you can surely make it your home! 3. The staff are extremely friendly and are happy to help you always. I have so mush fun living here, and I can guarantee it values for money!
Thank you for your kind words. Rockingham House is one big happy family and we are pleased you are enjoying your stay here.
The accommodation looks like it does in the pictures which is always helpful. It is a nice, quiet place to live in a fantastic location. It's an easy 15 minute walk to Uni Of and just off of West Street for pubs and clubs. I had a small problem with the first flat I moved into as the communal kitchen was not being kept to an acceptable clean level but the Property Manager went above and beyond to move me into a more suitable one. All of the staff there are so lovely and always happy to help. I can't fault it one bit.
Thank you for your lovely review, we are pleased you are happy with your new room and enjoying your stay at Rockingham House.
