Good location

Good location, was a 20 minute walk to Edinburgh Castle, Arthur’s Seat hike and Princes Street. The private bathroom was good and the staff were nice as well. The only thing of note was that the bed was quite uncomfortable, so just something to keep in mind if you’re a bad sleeper.

Increíble staff

The room was very clean and thought it was next to the kitchen and it was very noisy we liked it. However, the best was the fantastic, friendly and amazing staff.always there was someone at the reception willing to assist and be useful. Incredible people,congratulations

Basic facilities, fairly clean, staff were very friendly and helpful. The doors are quite noisy if you let them slam shut (which is easy to do). The location is quite convenient and fairly close to the city centre.

It was ok and price was too high for 2star accommodation. Better that bunk beds around the city, price to high, was priced to 75 GBP per night for hostel accommodation

Relatively cheap accommodation in Edinburgh that is easy to reach. All in all, good value for money.
steffen, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Affordable, comfortable for 1, great location

Be aware of what you are booking: these are student residences and designed for single occupancy. You get adequate space, with a window, and there are hotels in Edinburgh which will charge noticeably less for rooms with neither of those. You also get use of a shared kitchen and seating area. You don't get a TV in your room, nor a kettle; also no clothes hangers and no aircon. The bedlinen and towels were pristine, the surfaces and bathroom facilities were properly clean, but the floor could have stood 5 minutes' more cleaning. If dust and a stray hair bother you, maybe pay double and go for a hotel. Location is perfect for city visitors, especially for the Old Town: 5 minutes' walk to Holyrood Palace, 5 more to the foot of Arthur's Seat. The interior soundproofing seemed OK (or all my neighbours were mice) but there is traffic noise from outside.
Miranda, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good value basic accommodation.

Good value (for Edinburgh) stay in student accommodation near to the centre of the city. Basic but clean, no luxuries but you can ask for tea/coffee. shower gel etc at reception.
Ian, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Two night visit in Edinburgh

Affordable and good accommodation with excellent location. Room was somewat hot but managed to borrow a fan from reception. Nothing to complain.
Mikko, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Stay was fine, polite girl on check in, and facilities all good. Only downside was the floor in the room was very dirty.
Laura, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall stay was good. Great location! Ammentities were advertised, but not working, which caused members of our party to spend unexpectedly for more clothes.
Todd, 8-night trip

6/10 Good

Decent room

The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were decent and clean. The bathroom sink didn't drain well and it would've been very useful to have a sanitary bin in the bathroom.
