The staff are really kind and helpful! They run lots of events to encourage people to socialise, like painting tote bags. Everything’s in good condition and the rooms have a huge amount of storage space for all your things. The location’s really convenient, right in the middle of the city, it’s a ten minute walk away from the university (at most) and there’s two tram stops nearby. The only complaint I could possibly think of is that none of the dryers in the laundry rooms are particularly effective and clothes are usually still quite damp when you take them out.

Great palace. Close to the University. Booked through the university so lots of social events were available via the University as well through Unite students. They do routine cleaning of the shared kitchen, other common places are cleaned regularly. Maintainance is quick, had a broken kettle it was replaced the next day with a new one. The freezer was not working they fixed the problem but it broke again; however, when complained again, it was replaced with a new one the the next working day. All maintainance issues are handled by the next working day.

Good location and modern living spaces.
The reception and property management have ALWAYS been responsive and attentive! All English accommodation is incredibly small, so I live in what would be considered in the US as a walk-in closet! I have to admit, I've never seen the cleaners visit our flat area, therefore, we've had a lot of discussions about people not taking out the kitchen trash, someone keeps leaving their hair in the hallway and other people have had to vacuum/hoover the hallway and the kitchen continuously. There could be more reasonably priced washers and dryers (3,30 + 1,90 for one load each - Geez), and more of them too! 4 Machines (2 each) in my building for more than 125 people. It's incredibly, REALLY. But, my perspective is slanted towards a US version of dorm life, so ... take it with a grain of salt.
The reception staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, there's safe post storage and the common room is always clean. I really love using the common space to study in, and there's also study rooms, music room and social areas as well as a communal kitchen. The facilities are great. The wifi can be a bit odd sometimes, so you can't always access it in the common room, and I think there's meant to be cleaners in the flats but they visit so irregularly and rarely I think. Otherwise though, it's been the best accommodation I've been in!
Lovely public area and reception service is very nice
Everything except the cleaning was great, perfect for a first year hall. We didn't have a cleaner come into our flat often, and it wasn't clear when she was meant to come.
Really love the studio of St. Vincent’s!! The staffs in reception are all nice!! Problems can be fixed as soon as possible!! Really enjoy living at St. Vincent’s Place ♡
The internet is difficult to connect to, and can be quite slow. The facilities are good, and cleaners keep shared areas quite clean, despite that i think it’s still expensive for what is provided. some social activities are put on though which are nice.
The experience has been great overall the staff are very friendly and are always ready to help with any concerns. The accommodation is in a very convenient location
The studio is spacious and good .They respond if there is any issue.The only thing was bathroom was not clean when I got the place.Everything else is good
The internet did not let me connect to ea servers on my Xbox so I could not play online on fifa
I had a comfortable and enjoyable stay at St Vincent’s Place.
The prices of the accommodation could be lower and hope to have better cleaning team, or more often cleaning for the accommodation.
It is very good place for foundation student because it is very near to the college and have many activities to join in free time. However, it is better to repair things faster or tell us the reason of delay.
Very good for socialising and getting to know other people. Kitchen is also good and spacious
Good place, excellent value for money
Good social events. Good to bring friends to.
it’s a lovely place to live with lots of accessibility the people are so lovely and the receptionists are always helpful - ruby is so lovely especially for having the tote bag painting sessions on - it makes me happy :)
Good value for the money paid and fun events held at reception. Maintenance could be slightly better as takes a while to fix things.
Hosts nice events in the common room
Very good and clean, love my room
Tyler and Roy are the best! They have an amazing vibe and are the best people to talk to. Especially when it comes to boxing.
One of the best accommodation you can choose in Sheffield
Wonderful staff and environment with a study area for hardworking students. A lot of opportunities around the area as it’s close to the main campus. Events held for representative holidays (christmas, easter, valentines, new years etc) and are usually entertaining for multiple hours with many activities. Really friendly and welcoming staff!
Reception staff and cleaning staff are friendly and helpful.
If there are some flours in the yard will be perfect for the environment.
I can’t believe that I did painting pot activity for free, it’s really worth it.
Firstly the common room is not very clean , also both of ping-pong and pool table are broken, however the receptionist are so amazing , helpful, and kind , my favorite one is Faduma such a wonderful women that helped me a lot , they take all the reports seriously such as mine .
This is a very expensive place which doesn’t fix their common room games equipments . However , they always resolve other issues such as kitchen hygienes by the cleaning ladies who do exceptionally well at their job along with maintenance guy who does everything for us and he even fixed my shower really well as well as my door knob (sorry I forgot his name but he looks very old and tall with greyish hair and so many keys dangling from him) . In addition, one of the receptionist who’s called Faduma is very friendly and always ensures that we are keeping safe and we are doing okay as well as keeping us feel comfortable and welcomed and to have her as a person we go to for anything .
A nice location but for the price we give, it doesn't give us the best value. However, staff members are friendly, especially Faduma. She is a lovely lady who is always ready to help us out. Common area is honestly so bad. The pool table and ping pong table are broken. I urge you to repair them.All in all, I really like the location So if the prices could go down a bit, it would be very nice.
Good,but could be even better,
Unite Student staff particularly helpful, especially a staff member by the name Faduma

the wifi is slow and barely works, the common room is nice for socialising but it is barely clean
Hi, we are sorry to hear that there has been some issues with the Wi-Fi, we can help at reception by helping contact our Wi-Fi provider. Our common room can get very busy as lots of students use the space, our team work as fast as they can following around cleaning up any used areas. We're glad you recommend the space for socialising!

At least the room for one person is still bigger than mine back in Hong kong
Hi! It's nice to hear that the room sizes are great for our students!

Hello, we are really glad you had a wonderful time at our biscuit caking event with your friends! We will be hosting lots more events over the year and we look forward to seeing you!
The shower often block very easy. I think they need to fix this is as soon as the student report this.
Hi! We're sorry to hear that the shower is blocking, if you raise this on the Unite Students app, MyUnite, on your phone a member of our team will get notified that this needs looking at and they will be able to attend for you.
I really enjoyed the biscuit baking. The recipe was easy to follow and everyone was very helpful.
Hello! We are glad you have enjoyed the event which we hosted - we look forward to hosting many more events, we hope to see you there!
