The experience has been excellent so far, Katniss was especially super helpful and was the receptionist who led me to my room first. The receptionists so far have been quite helpful, and have also helped me when the reception was closed. There are fun several events hosted by the receptionists, which are super enjoyable and are super calming and help with stress. The property has been maintained quite well so far. Overall it's been 10/10 in St Vincents

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 :)

All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation
What tenancy length do I need?
Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.
Should I stay in catered student accommodation?
This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.
What is a guarantor and do I need one?
A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.
Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?
Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.
What bills will my rent include?
If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.
What is purpose-built student accommodation?
Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.
Will my student accommodation be furnished?
Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.

Thank you for your review, we're happy to hear that you are enjoying your current stay with us!

Thank you for your great review of St Vincent's Place. Our staff work very hard to create new and exciting events all year round and we're glad you are enjoying them. We hope to see you at our next event this week :)
Do yourself a favour and don't come to live here. Other places are better and significantly cheaper. The rent is shockingly high for shockingly poor accommodation. When I moved in, I found the kitchen caked in old grease and the appliances not cleaned (covered in spills and greasy fingerprints, the toaster I won't even touch). I complained at reception who said they'd send in housekeeping, but nothing changed so far. The iron was broken and I had to complain about it twice, as the first time they told us the iron was fine. Oddly, they did replace the kettle, when that one was fine and just needed a clean. They also put bathroom air fresheners in the fridge, which left a lingering scent of toilet product that tainted my food for days after I took them out. Communal areas supposedly get cleaned, but I've yet to witness any evidence of that. We're all mature students in our kitchen so we've no problems cleaning our living space, but if we're paying for cleaning, cleaning should happen.
We are so sorry to hear that your stay at St Vincent's Place has not been as enjoyable as expected. Our teams work very hard to get rooms ready for students' arrivals, so we are disappointed to hear that your flat was not up to our standards. Our housekeeping team visited your flat the next morning to clean and replace the necessary appliances and sometimes we may need to request items that are not stocked on site, we are sorry that this has taken longer than anticipated. We know that students will have different arrival dates which can affect the standards of our kitchens, so we aim to start our kitchen cleans as soon as we can. We have started kitchen cleans from October to allow time for all students to check in and settle into their new homes. Our housekeeping team are working their way through every flat each week to make sure they are cleaned in line with our standards and policies, we can assure you that your kitchen will be cleaned throughout your stay. We can confirm that the air fresheners in the fridge are specifically designed for this, and we would never use cleaning items not fit for purpose. We use this to make sure that kitchens and fridges remain fresh for all student arrivals and have placed these in various fridges. Thank you for your feedback which is very important to us and encourages us to further better our service. We are always contactable via email (sheffield@unitestudents.com) or in-person during reception hours so if you’d like to discuss these issues further, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.
The location of this accommodation is perfect for me, I am studying at the University of Sheffield and it is less than a 20 minute walk from most of the campus buildings. There is also 2 corner shops very close by.
Thank you for your review of St Vincent's Place! We're so glad to hear that the location is working well for you, we're just a 10 minute walk away from the city centre as well as different gyms.

the fire alarm is quite tricky and the fire alarm test was organised in very early morning. But the ppl are really nice at the reception, and the social spaces are really big and lovely!
Thank you for your review, we're happy to hear that you enjoyed the facilities across your stay with us! We operate weekly fire alarm testing in order to comply with government regulations and ensure the safety of everyone staying with us. We run fire alarm tests one day a week, at midday in order to avoid disturbing our students.

Great accommodation, cannot praise the staff here enough, Sylvia in particular.
Thank you for your review, we're glad you enjoy the property's facilities and feel welcomed by our staff!
Overall really good value for money, the nicest first year accommodation I have been to, but a lot less social than some of the other accommodations. A lot of international students so you meet people from all over the world.
Thank you for leaving us a review, we're happy to hear that you enjoyed our facilities during your stay! We're sorry to hear that you felt the property was less sociable than other accommodations you've experienced, we regulary hold events for students which can be great places to meet and socialise with new people.

Really nice, lovely area, flat feels very comfy and homey. I’m so lucky to have had lovely flatmates too - couldn’t fault the place.
Thank you for your review, we're glad you enjoy the property's facilities.
Great location, helpful staff.
Thank you for your review! Our site is a 3min walk to the Internation College, 8mins to the Diamond, 13 mins to Weston Park, and 13mins to Kelham Island! It's in a lovely, quiet area of Sheffield with loads of foos stores around the building so you never have to walk for for your essentials and The Moor is only 15 mins away :) The site is staffed 24/7 with friendly staff members who are always on hand to help out!
Great value for money. Great location and lots of spaces around
Thanks for your review! Our stunning reception is a former Church and has a huge communal kitchen, cinema room, and study rooms upstairs! We also has a pool table, table tennis table, playstation and loads of boardgames! The spaces are open 24/7 and the site is also staffed all the time so there's always someone to talk to :) With all bills included, modern rooms, and great social spaces it's great value for money :)
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.
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.
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
Thanks for your review! We're so glad that you enjoyed your stay here at St Vincent's Place! We have excellent social spaces that are great for socialising! The stunning reception area is open 24/7 and includes a communal kitchen, cinema room, and comfy sofas. Unite Students also run really fun events so you can easily meet people in other flats and blocks. The kitchens in ensuites also have comfy sofas so you can socialise without even having to leave your flat :) They have loads of cupboards too so there won't be any fights over storage!
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
Thank you for your review! We LOVE hosting events in our beautiful reception area! Some of the events we have done include- chocolate bar making, baking biscuits, make your own pizza, ice cream sundae bar, tote bag making, plant pot painting, movie nights, friendship bracelet making, mini canvas painting, and a free book giveaway for International Women's Day! Our events are always free and we really enjoying getting to know our residents at them :) Our reception area is open 24/7 and has a communal kitchen and cinema room which are perfect for events!

They also care excellent care of our communal spaces such as the communal kitchen, cinema, and study rooms :) The rooms here are super modern with three quarter beds in the ensuites and double beds in the studios
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!

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!

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.
