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.

Q&A
That's a great question!
Studios have their own postbox and the ensuites have a postbox per flat but not per room. The postboxes are in reception which is open 24/7 and all parcels are signed for at reception and safely locked away in our postroom. You just need to show ID then a memeber of staff will get it for you :)

Great location, helpful staff.
Great value for money. Great location and lots of spaces around
WiFi is a bit temperamental but it's a lovely place.
Excellent local facilities and close proximity to the main university Campus while being cheaper than other closer Accommodation suppliers with better perks for residence.
The staff goes above and beyond to help and accommodate the needs of students. However, I have found the wifi to be quite unreliable.
Very nice location, close to the diamond and good social spaces like the cinema room. Also all the free activities are good.
Very nice living, the shower clogs every so often and the constant fire alarms can be annoying but overall it has been great
It’s great, very cosy although quite small
Great location nice social spaced and good WiFi however rooms and kitchen places could be bigger and kitchen cleaning could be improved
Very lovely place could be cleaned a little bit more often
Thank you for taking the time to review St Vincent's! The ensuite kitchens and corridors are cleaned once every two weeks and the rest of the site is cleaned daily :) If there are any issues in your flat please let us know and we'll sort it for you!
I think everything is good,everyones is friendly and respectful
Thank you! Our site is staffed 24/7 365 with a lovely team, we're always on site to help out with any issues :)
I like the common area because I can meet my friend from other flat in there. Also, there's a lot of facilities in there such as table tennis and cinema.
Thank you for the review! Our reception/communal area is a beautiful converted Church which is open 24/7! We love running events in our communal kitchen and cinema, and the study spaces upstairs are a great place to do some Uni work!
it has been a great experience and a great place to meen interesting and fun people
Thank you for taking the time to review St Vincent's Place! We love hosting events in our communal spaces, it is a great way to meet students from other blocks and flats! If you have any event suggestions we would love to put them on for you :)
For a foundation student, live in here is a very good choice.
Thank you for your review! St Vincent's Place is staffed 24/7 making it a really safe place to stay. We never charge for lock outs or lost keys and if you have any problems we are fast to respond. It's also only 9 minute walk to the Diamond so is great for those 9am lectures!
All the staff are friendly and helpful and things get sorted out quickly, the location is very convenient for walking to my lectures and the centre of town is an easy 10 minute walk away which is especially convenient
Thanks so much! Our staff work hard to ensure everyone feels welcome and respected during their stay with us! We are staffed 24/7 so there's always someone around to talk to, and our in house maintenance team also work 24/7 so issues get resolved quickly! The site is oly 9 minutes away from The Diamond and 18 minutes to the train station making it a great spot for students!
it’s great, the common area inside the renovated church is very impressive
Thank you so much! Our reception and common room is always open and is a beautiful space! We have a communal kitchen and cinema room, as well as study spaces upstairs, table tennis, and pool. It's a great space to meet with friends outside the flat and we love putting on events in there :)
Staffs are friendly and helpful.
Thank you for your review! Our staff work 24/7 365 so there is always someone on site to help out, whether its replacing your lost keycard for free, running events, or simply giving you your parcel, we are always on hand to help out :)
very good value for money, especially love the common room. the building is new and in good condition.
Thank you for your review! The common room is always open and has amazing facilities such as a cinema room and communal kitchen! It's a great place to socialise and there are study spaces upstairs where you can do some university work. The site was only opened in 2018 and thanks to our 24/7 in house maintenance team and housekeepers, still looks amazing!
The front desk is very friendly and they are keen to help me with all my problems. My room is huge and the kitchen is great! I like Vincent a lot. It's usually very clean and comfortable!
Thank you for your review! The recently opened site is very modern, with three quarter beds in ensuites and double beds in studios, it's a comfortable place to live!
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.
Thank you for your review! Our site is only 10 minutes away from The Diamond and Information Commons, very handy for those early morning lectures and late night revision sessions! It's also close to Kelham Island and the centre of town making it great for socialising too! I'm glad you are happy with the response time of our maintenance team, they are on site Monday-Sunday to help resolve any issues so please don't hestiate to report issues! We provide a range of appliances such as vacuum cleaners, toasters, and kettles so no need to bring your own.

Thank you for your lovely review! The site is staffed 24/7 365 so staff are always around to see how you are and if there's anything they can help with! They also sign for all parcels and store them safely in the locked post room so no need to worry about missing deliveries while out at lectures and if you get back late after a night out and have lost your key you won't have to wait to get a new one, plus we never charge for a lock out/lost key! We love running events here! Some of our favourites have been plant pot painting, biscuit making, and the ice cream sundae bar, we love putting these events on for students and really welcome any suggestions for what other events we should do! I'm sorry the Circuit Laundry dryers in our two laundry rooms aren't as good as they could be, if any break we arrange for Circuit to come out and fix them as soon as possible so you aren't having to wait long to do your washing.
Good location and modern living spaces.
Thank you for your review! Our accommodation is recently opened and has bright, modern rooms perfect for making it your home! Our reception and common area is a great place to study and hang out in, with study pods upstairs and a cinema room downstairs! St Vincent's is close to University buildings such as The Diamond and Hicks which are about 10 minutes away! It's also near two tram stops, Kelham Island, and the beautiful parks Sheffield has to offer :)
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!
Thank you for your lovely review! We are so glad that you are enjoying our communal spaces! the study rooms in reception are a brilliant place to study if you don't want to go to campus but want a change of scenery! The music rooms are a great place to practise without annoying your flatmates! We are so pleased that you are making use of the wonderful facilities on your doorstep :) If you have any issues with cleaning in you flat just visit reception which is open 24/7 and we will sort it out for you :)
Lovely public area and reception service is very nice
Thank you for your review! We love our beautiful reception and common room area, the Church makes it so unique! It's cleaned everyday to ensure it always looks its best and is decorated for events such as Ramadan, Pride, Christmas, and Valentine's Day! The common room has a communal kitchen which is great for hosting friends and cooking together! We also have a cinema room with full size projector that can be connected to your laptop, it's great for film nights and live sporting events! The modern rooms have loads of storage and big windows! Our reception staff love talking to students and are always on site to help you with any issues, we never charge for lock outs/lost keys and safely store away all parcels so they are waiting for you when you get in. We love running events for students such as free breakfasts and canvas painting :)
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 ♡
Thank you for your lovely review! We are so glad you've enjoyed living with us! The site is always staffed so there is always someone on site, very handy if you need to collect a parcel or are locked out! Our maintenance team work Monday-Sunday so issues are resolved quickly, we even keep a stock of appliances like toasters, microwaves, and mops on site so they can be replaced immediately if they break! I'm pleased to hear you are enjoying your studio, the studios have a double bed and full kitchen so you can unwind after a long day at uni!
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
Thank you for your lovely comments! The site is staffed 24/7 with warm and welcoming people who love chatting to students and helping in any way they can! We're proud to offer incredible customer service all day everyday and enjoy getting to know our residents! We're pleased that it's well located for you! We are close to the town centre and main university buildings which is very convienent!
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
Thank you for your review! We're pleased that you enjoy your studio! The rooms are large with a double bed, study area, and full kitchen making it a great place to live! We have our own maintenance team that work hard to ensure problems get fixed as quickly and efficiently as possible and reception is always staffed to help with any issues! We're sorry to hear that the bathroom wasn't ready for when you checked in, our housekeeping team work hard to ensure the rooms are ready for check in but sadly yours was not, if you have any issues please report it to reception where we will sort it as best we can!
The internet did not let me connect to ea servers on my Xbox so I could not play online on fifa
Thank you for your review! We're sorry you couldn't connect to the wifi on your XBox, you use Glide wifi on site which covers all the blocks, the communal spaces, and outside. If you visit reception we will contact Glide for you to try and resolve the issue as quickly as we can!
I had a comfortable and enjoyable stay at St Vincent’s Place.
Thank you for your review! We're so pleased you had a nice time with us at St Vincent's Place! It's a great site for socialising as we have a large common room with a communal kitchen, cinema room, and table tennis table. We also run events which is a great way to meet other residents! Being so close to the centre of town and beautiful parks like Weston Park is great :)
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.
Thank you for your review! We love running events here, we've done tote bag painting, gingerbread decorating, and friendship bracelet making to name a few! We have a communal kitchen and cinema room which can be booked out, perfect for having friends over! Our beautiful reception and common room is so unique, it's great to show it off to friends! We also have table tennis, table football, pool, and a variety of boardgames in our common room which is open 24/7 so it's a great place to hang out!
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.
Thank you for your kind words! Tyler and Roy are part of our safety team who work from 10pm-7am ensuring there is always someone on site to help with any queries or concerns! Our staff are really friendly and love chatting to residents :)
One of the best accommodation you can choose in Sheffield
Thank you for your review! We are so glad to hear that! Our unique, modern acccommodation is close to the University and has lots of social spaces! It's also staffed 24/7 so there's always a friendly face to help with any issues :)
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.
Thank you for your review! Our staff are always on site to help out with any issues you have and out housekeeping team works hard to ensure the communal areas always look their best! We're glad to hear you've had such a positive experience while staying with us!
If there are some flours in the yard will be perfect for the environment.
Thank you for the feedback! Our outdoor space has full wifi coverage making it the perfect place to sit out in the summer and relax in! While it does have some brushes and trees, flowers would be a beautiful addition to the grounds of the former Church! St Vincent's Place is only a 10 minute walk away from the Winter Gardens, a peaceful greenhouse in the centre of town that includes an art gallery! Sheffield is one of the greenest cities in the UK and has lots of parks, perfect for nature lovers!
I can’t believe that I did painting pot activity for free, it’s really worth it.
Thank you for your review! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the event and we hope the plant you got with it is growing well! We love seeing student's creativity and its great getting together to do events! If you have any suggestions for events you'd like to do please let us know and we will gladly organise it! We often host events as a way to help students meet others, unwind, and try new activities for free. Our communal areas are great for socialising in and it's a lovely building to show off to your friends! The rooms are also spacious and come with all bills included, 24/7 staff, and great social spaces
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,
Thank you for your review! We are glad you enjoy St Vincent's Place, we are always looking for ways to improve our service! Please visit reception which is open 24/7 365 to let us know what we could be doing differently to ensure your time here is world class!

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!
it's a wonderful experience,I haven't done baking since I came to UK,especially with my friends
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!
