Best Student Accommodation Ever!!
I really appreciate how easy the rebooking process was and they had really good offers for rebooking as well. Yilin was really helpful in answering all my questions. Overall i think Hollis Croft is the best student accommodation in Sheffield.

We got a 24-7-365 reception
We got a 24-7-365 reception, with a lot of friendly numbers of staff to help students anytime they need. (Including the Christmas and Easter holiday）
we got a lot of activity around the years to help students get to know each other better.
You can put your request when you book your room.
It’s the nearest student accommodation to campus.

check before you book
Mealmarket, Aberdeen. Staff are amazing dont get me wrong but student roost was misleading at best in this occasion. No mention before booking that theres construction, edit: booking was finalised in june but email about construction was sent in august (with moving in on september). £100 off of near £6000 in rent and £1000 parking just to be moved to another location and a £50 voucher back. Construction has caused wood chippings in my room, unbearable noise in the morning with drilling and workers ripping out my wall by my window (note its exam time and i physically cant study even with noise cancelling headphones in) my wall is now exposed to outside due to the construction in the form of a crack by the window. And so much dust from outside construction i need to constantly wipe everything down and ive got constant blocked noses/allergies.
Privacy film since february has caused no sunlight in my room. Construction ongoing since october/november time.
Again for this, £100 off £6000. £50 amazon voucher for £1000.
Barely any compensation for massive inconvenience.

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We’re very sorry to learn your experience has fallen short of expectations. All residents were informed in advance regarding the planned improvements to ensure transparency, and the property team has also been in contact regarding the support available during this period, including alternative study space and parking arrangements. We appreciate this does not eliminate all aspects of disruption; however, the team is doing everything possible to support residents and are always happy to help further where needed, so please do continue to reach out. Where any specific maintenance issues are reported, such as concerns within your room, these can be investigated and addressed promptly by the on-site team once made aware. We understand this is a disruptive time due to the external works and appreciate your patience while these improvements are carried out. Your comments have been shared with the property management team for further review. If you’d like to discuss these matters further, you can contact your property directly with more information, or complete the Feedback and Complaints form on our website (www.studentroost.co.uk/feedback-and-complaints) and someone will reach out to you.

The Oaks, Coventry
The whole team, including maintenance and housekeeping at The Oaks, Coventry are wonderful!
I have had a great experience living here with an array of fun events throughout the year to keep students entertained and engaged with The Oaks community.
Maintenance queries and issues are resolved very swiftly, thanks to Billy and Dene!

Thanks Billy!
Currently staying at The Oaks in Coventry and just wanted to say Billy (from the maintenance team) is a legend! Whether it’s making repairs in my room or in my kitchen he’s always happy to help! Not to mention he’s incredibly friendly and will always stop to say hello whenever he sees me around the property. He goes above and beyond for repairs he doesn’t even have to make; he saw me struggling with the chain on my bike a coupe of days ago as I was leaving to go out, and he went out of his way to fix it for me! Thank you Billy!

I’m reporting a troubling experience
I’m reporting a troubling experience with this accommodation that fell far short of reasonable expectations and basic hospitality standards.
- Oven broken and not fixed: I was told to rely on a microwave for two days, which is unacceptable for any stay—especially longer visits.
- Freezer issues: No drawers or broken ones, and I was given just one replacement drawer. Storage was clearly insufficient and poorly managed.
- Movie Mondays promise unfulfilled: We visited three weeks in a row with no film shown. When we asked, staff said they were still selecting a film, and the next day the event sign disappeared. False promises and lack of follow-through.
- Delayed bus passes: We were told we’d receive free bus passes for the academic year, but they arrived three months late, causing me to miss three months of free travel. They also did not advise well how it was only given to people with a long tendency agreement eg. 44+ weeks.
- Rude reception staff: The front desk team were consistently rude or seemed fed up when answering questions. It’s understandable to have off days, but the continual attitude was unprofessional and disrespectful.
- Kitchen issue due to flatmate- upon returning from Christmas break with a moldy, fly-ridden kitchen. I couldn’t even eat in the kitchen for a week. When I reported it, I was told there would be an inspection and was informed they would pull that flatmate aside and have a conversation. When the inspection was made we were all be told off instead with no real solution. In the end, I was pressured to clean the kitchen within 48 hours to avoid a fine, even though the mess was not mine. This was disrespectful and unfair. There was no professional conduct during this time and i was deeply disappointed.
- Overall impression: The place is the cheapest option, but the negative experiences far outweigh any savings. I regret not researching more beforehand. The accommodation failed to provide basic amenities, reliable services, and respectful staff.
Final verdict: This stay was disappointing on every level, from maintenance to management and customer service. I wouldn’t recommend this property to others.

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We’re sorry to learn your experience didn’t meet expectations and appreciate you outlining these points. Regarding the freezer, each resident is allocated their own space, though we take your comments on its condition on board. We also recognise the delay with the bus passes wasn’t handled as well as it should have been, and we’ll be improving communication around this. While the oven repair was completed as quickly as possible due to the nature of the fault, we understand the inconvenience this caused. We’re also reviewing the Movie Mondays concern internally, to ensure better consistency. We’re disappointed to hear your experience with the team wasn’t positive. We’d really welcome the opportunity to speak with you directly to understand this further. We understand how frustrating the kitchen situation must have been. We always aim to support residents and address issues fairly, and we’re sorry this didn’t feel properly managed in your case. We appreciate you raising this with us and would encourage you to reach out to the property team so we can discuss this further. We appreciate your feedback. – Student Roost

Honestly the place is pretty good
Honestly the place is pretty good. I have a bronze room and it’s the perfect size, the staff are absolutely amazing and friendly, the only reasons I’d say it’s not the best is because washing is so damn expensive and it might just be my flat but the oven was broken, so was the hob, the boiler door was broken and my shower needed a lot of work.
