Really nice location, very basic but comfortable. Between two Tram stops and a sainsburys and starbucks in the immediate vacinity. Very lovely staff especially Aimee who was friendly on check in and Josh, who was very helpful on checkout. Keep up the good work!!

Our expectations weren't set high, knowing this was Student accommodation, so pleasantly surprised by the free toiletries and tea/coffee. Small room and access only from one side of the bed but fit our purpose. Couldn't fault the service and nice cafes available nearby. Great use of otherwise empty rooms in a busy city.

Conveniently located & easy to get too from airport. Lots of cafes nearby. Need to remember its NOT a hotel (student accommodation).... which was more than adequate...

It is not a Hotel, it is a Student Accomodation

This is a really bad place to stay even as per the standard of a student accommodation. The rooms are small with very dirty cushions and duvet. There is no sound proofing at all in the room. You can hear everyone and even traffic noise. The lift was not working for my floor so had to carry my luggage from stairs. The locking systems on the door is really bad and it takes multiple attempts to lock the door. Not worth the price at all. Will never stay again in any of the chains which belong to this company.

You get what you pay for. The hallways and rooms were boiling hot, so the window had to be open all the time to cool down. The road it’s on can be quite noisy so that will then wake you up. They let you borrow a fan for £20 but you’d just be moving hot air around. The bed was rock hard, gave me back pain. Feel sorry for the students who actually have to live here.

Cheap. However bed was very uncomfortable - had to lay on folded duvet for comfort. Room was very hot yet the road outside was very noisy into the early hours of the morning so window open not an option. Thankfully able to grab a fan from reception. Personally wouldn’t stay again but understand many on a budget would accept this for a cheap night in Edinburgh.

Unfortunately people near our room very noisy late at night.... lots of voices, door slamming, and wven at one point hoovering! Apart from that room ok.

Jul 2022

Like: Good location, room was clean and spacious, bed was confortable. Didn't like: it gets too hot, windows are extremely poorly designed; you cannot open it, therefore there is not air flow at all, seriously those windows are ridiculously poor designed.

Jul 2022

Great location, friendly staff, perfectly adequate en-suite student room with a nearby kitchen to use too. Only problem we encountered was that it was very warm and was impossible to open the window more than a couple of inches at the top… a ‘health and safety’ matter apparently. Other than that, all good and would use again.

Jul 2022

Great accomodation option, clean quite but with the advantage of option to cook for self in the shared kitchen if needed. I would say dont let the fact this is student accomodation put you off. It was quite and easy to keep youself to self. Bed was fine for us as a couple as im short and so i could sleep where the end of the bed had the end of a desk against it and he is 6 foot 1 so his feet could dangle over end. Was a great base to expre the city from.

I didn't expect about the quality too much because it is a student accommodation. but it was so good to stay even though it has some minus points. (+) - the room&bathroom is clean, and size of room is also enough for solo travelers. - starbucks&Sainsbury(supermarket) are located on 1st floor in the building(0 floor in UK) and you can use many other local restaurants, grocery shops near the building. - staffs are so kind, try to help me all the time (-) - until next spring in 2023, there is a big tube constrution in front of the building. so the noise could bother you from early morning from late night(sometimes until midnight..) but if the tube is ready, the location could be super easy to approch to airport. - the mattress is so bad. you can feel every spring of the bed... if you're a student who live there with long-term contract, must buy a addtional thick pad. but I'm a just traveler.. so I used a blanket as a bed pad, and cover me with my big shower towel.. - because it is student accommondation, all windows couldn't open fully

The staff was super friendly. But the bathroom had left over shapoo lid of a person before us. Also, the mattress was very uncomfortable. I could feel the springs. It needs an egg crate. But for its price i think it was a decent option.

Convenient location to main center of town and train station (moderate walk). Helpful and courteous staff. Clean room. No A/C but Edinburgh usually doesn't need it, I suppose. Fan was available to borrow. Private room with bath was sufficient with external shared kitchen among a "flat" of a few rooms. For the price it was reasonable. No complaints.

A great bargain for staying in Edinburgh during the Fringe. I got a spacious room and the bed and pillows were decently comfortable as well. Definitely high scores for convenience - it's just by the main road so getting to and from the city centre via bus was really easy, and there's also a Sainsbury's and Starbucks right next door. The walls are thin though, and you definitely get street noise, but overall I was still able to sleep reasonably well over the 5 nights I stayed.

We wanted to stay 3 nights, in the end we stayed only 2, and even that was to much. I was with my son, we've asked for separated beds and they had no way of helping us, not even giving us an additional mattress. They were very unhelpful and didn't offer any solution. We've bought a Yoga mattress for my son to sleep on, while I was sleeping on the bed, which also was very unpleasant since the bed was impossible to sleep on. Another serious problem was that there was no way of ventilating the room, because you can't open the window and there was neither a fan nor an air-conditioner in the room, so the hot air in the room and in the corridors simply stands still, a great way to catch a disease. Most of the staff was empathetic to our problem, but none of them was able, or really tried to help us find a solution. This place functions during the year as a campus accommodation. As a parent, I would have never let my children stay there, as it is just not fit for living. After 2 nights we've managed to find another hotel. Do not come near this place!!!

One of the nicest hotels I ever stayed in. The staff was great, spotless clean, located right near a bus station, big window. It's not a five star hotel, but it has something, I don't know what, that made me love it. Also the price is very good, it's one of the reasons I chose it in the first place.
