We trusted the accommodation when we signed the contract, but after everythingthat's happened, it's hard to have confidence in them. Broken promises, zero accountability, and delayed communication. Definitely rethinking whether to stay here next year.
As students, we've received no clearresponse on our refund issue for months. The reception say they don't know, and management hasn't replied at all. Thisexperience is making us seriously reconsider renewing. Future residents should think twice.
Fantastic accommodation for a fairly cheap price. Kitchens are kept clean, rooms are well furnished and broadband is fantastic. Very friendly staff, and a new mail delivery system means I've never had issues with picking up packages any time of day.It is obvious that rather than re-investing into maintaining massive outdoor spaces or extremely large social areas, Steel City focuses on the living experience and still provides great social amenities. It works very well and makes for excellent rooms that actually have AC.I have rebooked for the next year.
Living at Steel City has been such a great experience! The amenities are top-notch, the location is super convenient, and the management team is always helpful and friendly. Highly recommend it!
Very good place to live. The reception staff and free events are really great. The Ac is an added bonus however it can take a while to fix when it’s broken. I would really recommend here over any other accommodation for students.
Actually one of the best accommodations in Sheffield. I've stayed here for my entire course. The staff are superb, super friendly, helpful, and very approachable!Additionally, I absolutely love how the flat always hosts amazing events to get everyone together! I cannot recommend this place enough!
The washing machine has been broken for almost 2 months or is still not repaired. Nearly 200 people in this accomodation share 4 washing machines. When will it be handled?
This place is not only beautiful but also packed with fantastic facilities, including a stunning sky lounge area that truly stood out. I would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming space!
Steel City is an amazing student accommodation! Modern rooms, friendly staff, and great amenities like the AC and sky lounge make it a perfect home away from home. The location is great too, close to the university and city center. Highly recommend living here
Amazing accommodation and staff. Was so accommodating to my situation of moving in later at such short notice and could not of had a better experience at steel city, already rebooked for next year.
This student accommodation is great. It’s the best accommodation in Sheffield, if I was still a student I would still live here. The air conditioning is very rare and the best to have in your room. Thank you Steel City!
I booked this accommodation for my 2nd year of study because it offers air conditioning and a television in the room for an affordable price. However, the air conditioning is always broken and the bedroom gets very hot and humid in the spring/summer time it is unbearable. I file a maintenance request every 2 weeks to fix the air conditioning but there is no response for many months. The television is also broken, I am unable to connect and the maintenance team does not fix it.When I first moved into the room it was not clean. There are stains on the window and closet and I found toothpicks on my bed mattress.I rate this student halls 2 stars because the reception staff are very friendly and they host many events. Other than that, there are little benefits to living here.
I visited the accommodation this week and everything was very good. I will be moving in in September. I really hope there is a luggage storage space service so that I can have a place to put my luggage before I go back to my country for the summer vacation in May. , and can check in quickly and conveniently after returning to the UK.🙏🏼
Best place I've lived in Sheffield as a student! Reception team are great and do freebies like smoothies or fantuan delivery as well as leaflets with loads of discounts on places in town. Maitenance are so efficient and lovely and the rooms and sky lounge are so so nice. shout out Alberta she literally knows every single resident by name and room off the top of her head and is so kind and attentive and will fix any problem for you asap x
i’ve been here since my first year and absolutely love it! clean site with friendly and helpful staff. alberta always goes above and beyond to help! would definitely recommend.
I visited with my sister this summer for accommodation to start in September.It was a lovely place with great facilities even a sky lounge area. Alberta and Fredrick were really helpful with all the questions we had.Would definitely recommend
The place is quite good and safe to live in with good proximity to the city centre and university. Feel at home atmosphere and good facilities. However the maintenance is very poor, the aircon never works and you have to chase behind the facility managers with no luck! No value for the money you pay and they don’t even provide a proper escalation matrix to log your issues. Sending mails and lodging complaints are of no use. When you pay a premium, the service delivered should be prompt and proper. The management is pathetic!I’ve been escalating on fixing my aircon for past 3 months and it’s still not looked into or even considered.
Alberta and the staff under her leadership truly go the extra mile in making sure our needs are met. Service with a smile doesn't even do it justice. Everyone here cares about our wellbeing. Thanks for all you do!
I like steel city.I live in the en-suite with 3 roommates. The place is quite nice and comfortable, especially it has air conditioners!!!!The stuff is also quite nice. Highly recommended.
As someone who likes to have a quiet and comfortable room to be able study, this is a great place. Very friendly and polite on-site staff especially the property manager Simon and receptionists Alberta and Sara. Room facilities are great. All other facilities are easy to access.
Great staff that are so kind and ready to help. Location is a bonus, only 15 minutes from station and 5 minute walk from main campus. The rooms are also lovely, with an AC and a large TV
