Hot water all time. ✓Large public area. ✓ Nature ventilation seems to be not enough when cooking, as the window opened very small.

Pretty decent for the price and the location
Thank you for your kind review, glad you are enjoying your stay with us.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.
This place is very nice. Reception can solve every problem for you fastly. The location is good next to UOS and have many shop and restaurant. Moreover, there are many activity with my flatmate to join in here.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are glad we participated in creating memories that we hope will last a life time. If you have any ideas for more social events please let us know and we will see what we can arrange.
My experience here was amazing, close to UoS, close to all my favorites bars and restaurants. Amazing staff, lots of freebees.
Thank you for your lovely review, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. We do agree that the location is very central and hope you take away some lovely memories.
It doesn't take long before you realise where the money is being saved in this accommodation block. Two months without a lift to my floor. Many months without any extractor fan in the bathrooms. Another two without a lock on our front door. These are just some of the problems that I faced over my year. They really need to sort out their maintenance because it is a joke. Then there is the cut corners. Two vacuum cleaners for the whole accommodation and three washing machines means that cleaning your flat is a pain. The printing costs a minimum of £1 per print job, so just go print at Uni. From the amount of Overall, the flats are perfectly ok, well located and reasonably priced. But, they would be much better off investing a bit more in the basics, rather than the constant "celebration days" like International Women's Day where they questionably gave out cosmetics. The staff are lovely and I don't want to knock them. There just needs to be more invested in the building.
Thank you for your Review and your comments have been noted. We apologise that you had these issues during your stay. Unfortunately, some repairs are out of our control and require external contractors, for example the repairs to the lift. As you may appreciate some parts have to be ordered externally meaning there is a delay whilst items are sourced. We hold ‘celebration days’ as a bit of fun for our residents and these are usually well received. We do appreciate any suggestions from the residents regarding these. If you would like to see something specific, we would love to work with you to see what we can offer. We also appreciate your lovely comment about the staff and this will be passed on.
I love this flat so much, it's in a very convenient location. It was also very close to COOP for my daily needs. The staff at the reception were very responsible and considerate and they often held events for us to participate in. I often meet up with my friends in the common room, which has plenty of space. It is a place that brings back good memories for me.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are glad we participated in creating memories that we hope will last a life time.
A very good property for a simple stay during your studies. A comfortable room and kitchen in addition to the common room which is modern and comfortable. Overall a very good accommodation with rigid help from the property team if anything is needed.
Thank you very much for taking the time to review the property. Your kind words about the comfortable room, kitchen, and modern common room are greatly appreciated. We are pleased to hear that you had a very good experiance and that our property team was able to provide helpful assistance whenever needed. Thank you again for your feedback!
Takes a week to get a bulb fixed, lift broke and staff showed no sympathy and took over a week to fix, nightmare for 8th floor residents. Unmanageable.
We are sorry for this issues you have faced recently. We are in regular contact with the Lift Service company, but unfortunately there is very little else we can do about this as they are waiting on parts. If you would like to come to reception we can discuss this further and see if we can help, for example offer you a temporary room on a lower floor. We have recently recruited a new in house maintenance and smaller issues like changing lightbulbs should be back to normal and completed in a timely manner.
It is soooooo good to live here
Thank you so much for your positive review! It's wonderful to hear that you're enjoying living Rockingham house.
Great value for money, and the staff are amazing, there for your every need and each request is met with quick responses. The social events and spaces are brilliant and just over all a very friendly environment. 10/10
Thank you for your lovely review. We are pleased you are enjoying your stay with us. If you have any ideas for more social events please let us know and we will see what we can arrange.
love the staff they are extremely friendly and always setting up social events for us. Rooms are great and the wifi is exceptional
Thank you for your lovely review. We are always open to more ideas for Social events, so if there is something you would like to see please let us know.
If one is looking for a good , affordable student accommodation which is close to all amenities, then look no further as Rockingham house has it all. It is very close to most of the university of Sheffield's buildings and the proximity to west street and city center is just the icing on the cake. Sam at Brett at the reception are very friendly and helpful. They also organize many fun social events at the common room, as well as give many free goodies ;) The stay here has been so good for me that I have already rebooked for the next year.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased you are staying again next year. If there are any events you would like to see please let us know as we are always open to new ideas.
It's close to all the key facilities and all the staff is very friendly and helpful will totally recommend it to anyone else.
Thank you very much for your review! I'm glad to hear that you found the location convenient and that the staff were friendly and helpful. Your recommendation means a lot and we appreciate your support.
The location is perfect especially for engineering students and I do not have any problem with noise
Nice laceration，very convenient if want to go to shop.
The location is excellent, near to Diamond, west street and the city center. Staffs are friendly and helpful.
Everything is great, I love here!!!
Perfect location that you could go to groceries/bars conveniently. Also you can barely hear the noise from the streets as it's sitting on a quite corner. WiFi works great after changed the service company to glide. Service staff are soo lovely. They remember residents' room number and listen to peoples' opinions. Weenie's always active like your sister and Sam's always mild like a mom:) The common room looks amazing now. You can use the big tables for a group meeting and the projector for a party. Too many complimentary lol. But everyone who got recommendations from me chose to stay here! (I've referred to at least 4 friends 😂)
The student accommodation is located at the city center which is convenient to get access to everywhere and the receptionist-Winnie is so sweet for giving support in many aspects. It is definitely a good choice to join the big family:)
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.
