Hollis Croft is by far the best student accommodation in Sheffield. The reception is especially amazing as they are always willing to help and give aid when they can. In my honest opinion, and most of my many friends in Sheffield, Ali is the best receptionist. He is so so kind, very honest and loyal to his job. He treats all students with respect and encourages them to stay in Hollis Croft. In fact, his impeccable character is what made me decide to stay in Hollis Croft from this September and hopefully till the end of my university journey.

Such beautiful accommodation and such a good location to Sheffield City Centre! Especially good for University of Sheffield Students. I lived in Bronze Plus comes with a washing machine too which is really good as not many accommodations do this! Id personally advise this for second years and above living with friends you have already made! The social spaces are so cute especially!! Smart tvs all around the accommodation and the staff are super friendly! Easy to collect parcels too! You can also state your preference of who you want to live with e.g home students, second years, girls only etc and they really do their beet to accommodate this!

Thankyou so much for your lovely feedback!! We are so happy you are enjoying your time here at Hollis Croft and using all the spaces :)
Five stars! I really loved staying here, I loveddd my view of my room. THEY HAVE WASHING MACHINES !!!!!!!!! bro it saved so much with that included in my rent. Such kind, funny and lovely receptionists!! Nothing has been wrong with my deliveries or Uber. Had the best experience and stay here. Very secure and still busy even in the holidays, and the 24hrs help at the guest is amazing. Honestly, stay here if you’re looking for an accommodation when you’ve been in Sheffield for a year (1st years I’d advise elsewhere because it’s a popular area for internationals but you can still meet friends like I have ) !

Thankyou so much for your loevly feedback about how you love living at Hollis Croft!! We love that you love living here soooo much! :)

Thankyou for your review. Were so happy to hear you are enjoying your time so much at Hollis that you have decided to stay!
The location and social spaces were incredible. The 24/7 security, staff and students were a delight to be around during the course of a year.
Appreciation post for Ali at reception. Friendly faces such as himself and Jason are what gives this place the lovely warm atmosphere it obtains. Student friendly reception staff is key to happy students. Overall a pleasant living experience.
Frequent visitor of reception, would like to thank the night owl shift staff (Ali and Jason) for their exceptional assistance, day in and day out.
Reception staff are really nice (shoutout Ali, Jason, Alan and Luca), feels like you can go for a chat whenever you want ! Nice spacious room and good facilities too.
Loved staying here, 24 hour reception is amazing and a lovely modern accommodation. Booked again next year due to the great location, so close to the uni campus and also close access to town centre and shops. Special mention to Ali, Jason, Alan and Luca!
The reception is so so so good!!!
Very nice room,I love the 24-hour front desk, fun activities every month, and the gym game room and study room. It's a very nice apartment.
The night team is the best, very awesome
Planned activities are fun, nice study room
staffs are friendly and helpful. Rooms are big and clean. Kitchen is well equipped. Bathrooms are amazing
I love the atmosphere at Hollis Croft. The 24 hour reception is great for when I get home from the library at the early hours. Ali and Jason are great to chat to and are always happy to help. The facilities are fantastic and all problems are resolved efficiently and quickly.
Best Staff @Ali and @Jason, they are nice and good friends.
Love the place !! Love the special spaces !! Love the managers !! Love the staff !! Love Ali & Jason !!
Hollis Croft is an amazing place to live! The staff is always very friendly and helpful. The social spaces look amazing and they organise interesting events for everyone to join!
Lived here for the whole first year and I was very happy with the accomondation. Any problems I had were solved right away and will stay here next year.
Hollis Croft has been an amazing first move away from home! The activities that the accommodation hosts really make you feel at home and the social spaces are so much fun! Really worth the money and so close to uni campus. The receptionists are also very helpful, even the night staff including Ali, Alan and Jason.
To be honest, Hollis croft is my favorite accommodation so far. There are the best facilities, friendly reception and so on. If you come, you will understand! haha, I remembered when I came to Hollis croft the first day, Ali helped me a lot! thanks a lot! Also, Jason helped me a lot when I need help at midnight! Thank you again!
The best in all aspects! Friendly environment and also best staffs. Best receptionist ( Ali ).
Omg I could not have picked a better accommodation. I have to say the customer service is actually impeccable. I have never met a more welcoming and hospitable staff team. I was worried I would be homesick but that’s far from the case. I would like to give a special shout-out to Ali Jason and Emily who have made my time here the best it could have been. Honestly I couldn’t have dreamt up a better staff. It even feels weird to call them staff as they now feel like my second family.
I was recommended by a local friend who was living here and it was surely a good choice! It was really nice living here, the staffs were super nice (I was like forgot my keys twice a week or even more frequently and sometimes I came to the reception at midnight for key stuff, the staff there was always patient and offered helps with a smile), the facilities made the life here wonderful (common room, karaoke room, study room, gym and especially the cinema room they are amazing!) It's definitely worth the price;) Also, the kitchen/living room for the en-suite type is super large (as I know the largest), a perfect place for friends gathering. Overall, I would definitely recommend Hollis Croft to anyone who's going to study at the University of Sheffield.
Great location near city center and University. There is no better common areas and flats for the price in Sheffield.
Everything is so good here. Good quality of living and environment
Hollis Croft is ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. I do not recommended at all. DO NOT GO IF YOU WANT TO MAKE FRIENDS. The staff are not helpful at all, the lack of communication is shocking and the staff do not care about the students mental health and are unbelievably negligent. They pretend like they care but really all they care about is having the easiest day and making the most money. The facilities are there but the staff do no make it clear where anything is or where the keys work making it very isolating especially in C/D block. The staff do not communicate effectively before moving in therefore I arrived to find I'd paid over the odds for a terrible room with people I had nothing in common with, if I would have known I would have looked elsewhere which just proves how money hungry they are. I repeatedly told them about my struggle with mental health and they made no effort to help until my parents stepped in and offered money.
Fabulous student accommodation. The price is fair enough and all the reception staff are friendly. I will recommend it to my friends.
One of my friends recommended this accommodation to me. I would say it was a nice choice for me. I must say not every accommodation has a 24/7 reception open like here, which is quite helpful when you meet some troubles. You can take your parcels or ask for any helps at any time. As a fan of table tennis and the pool, I had a good time playing here. The gym is also good, again, not every accommodation includes it. Other facilities such as KTV, cinema and video games rooms are also nice. Well, there is no perfect place to satisfy your need, but this one is worth a shot and you won't regret it.
location is ok,good property management,Better property management and kitchen cleaning services can be expected
Modern accomodation , good service and value for money
Cleaning of en-suite needs to be improved .the common place and service is amazing
nice place for living. it’s amazing
Great apartment! Good living condition.
good,wodenful experience. Nice to stay here stuff are friendly
Good space for study and you can meet lots of interesting people here
The customer service team was very friendly and helpful.
Very comfortable and quiet. In Hollis, I spent a very unforgettable study time. I will miss it after I come back China!!!!!
Decent place with quality staff. Even when there was corona they helped us a lot and it was a great experience.
it is the best student accommodation I ever live in Sheffield, the workers are very friendly and helpful。
It is good to have a stay in Hollis Croft this year.
Great value for money, in an amazing location. The facilities are great too. Staff go above and beyond. Only negative is the parking.
It is ok, good place but getting overpriced
It's been great! Everything has been as expected the staff is very friendly!
Best location, super modern and nice
It’s a really nice place to live but it’s also expensive and there are similar places which are priced lower.
The best accommodation for university of Sheffield spends in the area
I’ve been enjoying my time here so far , been here for two semesters and will probably stay here for the third. The staff are nice and friendly and always available when needed.
The staff was very helpful when I was self-isolating. They brought a lot parcels to my door.
Staying for our third year! We love it!
Best social spaces abs Toby at the receptionist was always very helpful.
Everything is good. However, the wifi is not very stable but when it is working it is pretty quick and responsive.
Absolutely lovely staff members, helpful and friendly.
nice ,nice internet ,good facilities
I love how friendly the staff is and their service, especially with parcels.
Fantastic room. Wonderful common room.
A great place to stay. The staff are super friendly and always available to help you. Close to the university and the city centre. The night owls never turn down a chance to talk about any topic that comes into your head. They made sure we were all comfortable and safe during the lockdown. 100% would recommend.
Staff are nice, everything was good
The perfect location: not far from the University, but also close to the city centre. The rooms are beautiful, not to talk about the social spaces. There is everything a student needs.
Lovely accommodation, everyone friendly, kept clean and tidy, almost available and helpful staff Staff are great - Mason, Robyn, Khloe, Ben, Adam, John, Jake all, all brilliant and made the move to Sheff much easier and less scary!
All the staff were so lovely and helpful and made the whole process of moving in and living very stress free and easy!
Covid-19: Let us finish our contract early which was a massive relief and very generous
Great communal spaces, brand new accommodation so everything was nice and clean.
Covid-19: Managed to get some of my rent money back however it has been a complicated process as communication has been a bit inconsistent. However the staff have been lovely and understanding.
