Very nice !welcome to straits Manor!
Thank you so much your review!
The staff at Straits Manor are very helpful. Meg on reception is friendly and made me feel welcome even before I checked in, due to chatting on WeChat. If I was studying another year, I’d stay here again at Straits Manor. My room is nice, but I would have preferred a room facing the front. However, I booked late.
Thank you so much for your review! I will be sure to pass on your lovely comments to Megan who works incredibly hard to ensure Straits students receive the best experience! Many Thanks Katie Pilcher Property Manager

Thank you for your review, the team at Straits appreciate your kind words. Kind Regards Katie Pilcher Property Manager
A very nice accommodation which is close to tram station. It’s convenient to go to the city center and many nice bars on west street. The room is quiet nice and hope I could stay for another year here with all the friends I met here.
Thank you for leaving a review. We are very lucky in regards to the location in which we are situated in Sheffield. Kind Regards Katie Pilcher Property Manager
This apartment is in a very good location, about 7-15 minutes' walk from the main teaching building, and only 5 minutes' walk from the city, making life very convenient. My room was on the street side and quiet most of the time, the room facilities were excellent and the reception staff downstairs were very friendly. Overall the experience of living here is great!

The room is a little small, but the location of the apartment is very good and the facilities are quite complete. Generally speaking, it is good
Great location, very prompt and helpful staff, reasonably priced with good facilities. Can't complain really.
Great, friendly, welcoming staff, who hold various events, including a pumpkin carving competition that I won. Great common room and students living here are nice. There are not so many pot heads like my previous accommodation. The room is nice, although doesn't get much sun. Wish there was more draws, you only get one, lots of shelves, but it can be an eyesore with all your textbooks and work in your face. Cinema room is decent, should come with instructions though.
I’m a Spanish Erasmus Student doing the first semester at Sheffield Hallam University. It was my first experience in student accommodation and I’m very happy. There are many activities that the residence organizes, and it is well-equipped with shared areas and the team is very friendly. My room is a classic studio which is ideal for me and I’ve enough space if I have a friend or family visiting me.
Quite kind reception. I have lived here for three years and the location can be super good. There are almost everything you need!
The staffs in Straits Manors is really helpful, help me sorted out most of the problem I faced here. Also, they always have smile their face, it cheers you up when you starts your day early.
I think this apartment is so nice! And there are so many activists we can do, like Halloween party
Love living here. The staff are absolutely amazing, always happy to help and chat. It's not always the most social place but I have met some incredible people here and that's enough for me. Likely I will book again for next year. Thanks Katie & Megan :) x
Very good accommodation experience, especially good front desk service, thank you for your care this year.
As a short stay accommodation over summer, Straits Manor was in a perfect location for me to be able to walk to the University of Sheffield buildings, as well as to explore the area, with brilliant transport links via tram just outside the front entrance and the city centre within walking distance. Knowing that there was security overnight was very reassuring too, and really helped to make Straits Manor feel like a safe environment to call home in a busy part of the city. The staff were all friendly and helpful and even regularly put out sweets and treats for people to pick up at reception! My room itself was incredible, I had all of the facilities I needed to be self sufficient and comfortable for my stay. Thank you so much to everyone at Straits Manor for making my time in Sheffield brilliant!
Amazing experience living at Starits Manor. Cosy place, fantastic staff. I would never forget my stay at Straits Manor
All the workers at the reception are very friendly and helpful.
Thank you for your review! We are always happy to help!
Good front desk service attitude, there are people on duty on weekends and can be contacted anytime. The apartment is located in the heart of the city center, on West Street, very close to the school and library, only ten minutes' walk, and not far from various colleges. There is a City hall tram station at the door, and there are three lines, you can go to Meadowhall, school and so on. There are Tesco Metro, M&S, and Boots, life can be said to be very convenient.
Thank you for your review! We love the feedback! :)
The location is really very good and easy to go to the city centre for shopping or any daily things, I can even say this is the best address in Sheffield and you can just take 30 seconds go out for a drink. In addition, the security and the the apartment staff is very responsible. Thanks.
We agree - the location is amazing! Thank you for your review!
Everything is good except there is no guidance on weekends
Thank you for your review! Thank for your feedback regarding weekend security!
Straits Manor is located in city central, where is very convenient for us, and it closes to supermarkets, like tesco and MS, and library. Then, the reception is so friendly! If equipment has some technical problems they will check them in a timely manner. Besides, the apartment has always been very clean, my room is pretty and there are gym and a lot of entertainment equipment. All in all, I enjoy living here!
Thank you for your review! We are so happy to help when ever you need it!
The accommodation is really nice and modern with amazing views. I’ve lived here for 2yrs and the staff have always been friendly, helpful and organise lots of fun activities and competitions - sometimes we get free Krispy kremes or breakfast snacks etc. You won’t regret living here!
Who doesn't love a Krispy Kreme? :):):)
Really good location and great value for money. Different snacks are often provided and receptionists are warmhearted.
We love to give you guys snacks! More coming this week :)
I think this student house is one of the most convenient flats in Sheffield. It takes less than a few minutes to walk to a variety of supermarkets with different functions. In particular, it takes five minutes to walk to Sheffield city centre, and it only takes ten minutes to walk to the school library. All rooms are fully equipped, including gym, laundry room, study room, cinema and so on. In a word, everything here provides us students with great convenience.
Thanks for the great feedback!!
I think the apartment is very good. First of all, the location is very good. It is very convenient to go to the grocery shopping library to study. At the same time, the decoration style is also very good, and there are many good service staff. It is more convenient to go out, the exit is the city hall. Every time you can go shopping far away in Sheffield. The price is very cheap, because I ordered the studio, which has 25 square meters of space, and there are discounts for all-year reservations. In the morning, the front desk will also provide a variety of snacks and beverages to drink. Great!
Thanks for the lovely review and feedback!
I have lived here for 2 years - just signed on for a 3rd! Location is great, very close to both unis and the tram is also very close by which makes it easy to get around other areas of the city and to the train station, Meadowhall etc. Building is generally very well maintained, staff are friendly and helpful and answer queries quickly. The facilities like the gym and cinema room are also really nice. I have found the building is quite quiet even though it’s in a busy area which is great if you’re looking to study from your room. My studio is quite spacious and everything in it is very new.
3 years running! Thank you for your great review!
The staff in the apartment are very friendly and will help solve all problems, and the apartment is very considerate. Many times there will be small gifts and snacks for us. I feel very heartwarming and the location is also very good. It is very convenient to go everywhere.
Thank you for your review! We love to hear feedback!

A wonderful student apartment to live

A lovely accommodation!!! I have lived in here for a year since it opened and I continued my contract for another 1 year. The location is really good, within 5 mins walk to Tesco and M&S. And only 1 mins walk to John Lewis! You can get almost everything you want without too much walking. The tram stop and bus stop are just opposite the main entrance. One thing most appeals to me is that the staffs here are really nice. I love here!
Thank you for your review, we agree, the location is amazing! :)

Brilliant property to stay at. Close to both universities, some good social events and great in-house activities - even when coronavirus hit!
