Ratings and reviews
2.0 / 10.0
Quite small room and rather poor small bed. However, for the price during Fringe Festival it was fair
3.0 / 10.0
Pleasantly surprised by this room - very clean and modern. Staff really nice and friendly. A bit of a pain to share a bathroom to be honest but thats a small price to pay given the cost of the room! Close to the centre and east to walk to and from where you need to go in town. If we go back I would definitely stay here again!

Quite pricey for a student accommodation but the location was good and everything was in good condition. There's wasn't much cleaning during my stay though.
2.0 / 10.0
Excellent rates during a busy period however that saying you get what you pay for is perhaps true in my experience. Each Flat consists of 4 rooms which are spacious, clean and lots of storage available. The additional use of a kitchen and dining area is a real bonus, a shared shower and toilet was available but bring your own hand soap as none was provided during a pandemic. The walls are pretty thin so don't expect to much privacy and what you have to bear in mind is this is student accommodation not being used during the holidays so each room door is a fire door. They close hard and secure so you may hear them close and open or worse bang all day long.

A great place to stay when I quickly needed a room last minute in the city, easy and convenient

This property was filthy and would highly recommend if you could afford to stay in a hotel you do. The flat we lived in had a really bad smell (like old cigarette smoke).
The bedroom was dirty upon arrival and I’m not even sure they changed the bedding prior to our arrival. The shared bathroom was not cleaned daily / regularly, and there was bugs living in the walls.
Some might pin this to being a student accommodation however, me and all my friends have lived in student accommodation and is just as nice as living in a proper flat, however this flat was significantly worse than any accommodation I’ve seen. The imagines online do slightly improve the look of the apartments.
However, the location was great.

Rooms quite small and no window looking out, only a roof light. Mattress quite lumpy and uncomfortable. Amenities in kitchen very good . Basic but fine if you’re not staying in the room long.

This is a students' residence rented out to visitors outside term time. The individual areas are small but there is a large communal area equipped with a kitchen and a living area. There are 2 showers serving 6 rooms. I found the self-catering element useful. The staff were quick to rectify problems such as non-working lights. They allow you to leave luggage before check-in and also on the day of checkout in order for you to explore the nearby town centre. We like the place and will like to go again if the opportunity arises.

Everything looked okay and was reasonably clean considering that you share the apartment with 5 other rooms. But then the beds, they were horrible. Definitely would not recommend sleeping in these for more than a few nights. The location, however, was perfect and near the main tourist attractions in Edinburgh

The room was clean and close to a bunch of the Fringe venues we wanted to go to.
1.5 / 10.0
The accommodation was very small for two but we did expect this. You have to share bathroom and kitchen with other people, we also knew this would be the case. The room its self was clean but the corridors were in need of a little attention. The soft closing on the doors were not working so there was the noise of door banging. The decor is very grey and slightly depressing. The location is, however, really good for central Edinburgh. The check in was easy and the young staff very friendly. I would stay again for The Fringe.

Clean, good value for money (especially during festival season), very helpful staff.
2.0 / 10.0
Disappointed. Finding access was near on impossible, given no guidance upon booking, after calling twice we eventually found out that we had to google ‘prime student living’ after a good 10 minutes of searching. We were up on the very top floor, flat 9, up about 8/9 flights of stairs (no warning of this before booking or upon check in) thank god we didn’t have many bags! Unfortunately the bed had springs digging into our hips, and even had someone else’s shopping list in the wardrobe! Thankfully only 3/4 of the other rooms in the flat were booked as all 6 rooms (potentially 12 people) trying to share 2 bathrooms would not have been ideal! Staff we spoke to on the phone were not very polite, however the gent at the reception check in was polite and offered complimentary tea and coffee sachets to take to our room. All in all I wouldn’t book again.

Bedroom, kitchen and bathroom was very clean when we arrived and throughout our stay. Staff were pleasant and helpful when we arrived; we were able to leave our bags in a secure left luggage room before check-in which meant we were free to go sightseeing right from when we arrived without having to drag around heavy bags and suitcases. The check-in and check-out process was quick and hassle-free. Location is great, within walking distance of main sights, attractions and city centre but on a quiet street. Although the accommodation is more similar to that of a youth hostel, towels, shower gel and tea and coffee are provided.Overall, a great, budget friendly place to stay in Edinburgh.

I loved my stay here, the property was clean, exactly what I needed, student halls are an excellent alternative to summer accommodation when travelling.

It was cheap, quiet and a short walk from the centre. Plus they had a place for me to securely store my bike. The only down-side was that it was quite warm inside the apartment (basically standard uni set-up - rooms plus kitchen and bathroom off a corridor, which was internal and not particularly well ventilated). I stayed during a week when (for a few days) the weather was unnaturally hot for Scotland and my room was quite hot and stuffy. However, for the rest of the stay, the weather returned to a normal Scottish summer (i.e. cool and wet), so I was happy.

Disappointing - 5 rooms to one shared bathroom (broken toilet seat) and one shared shower (which was a nice shower to be fair). No air flow in the room/thermostat and only able to crack window open slightly. Mattress was very uncomfortable. Property doors were very heavy and there are multiple (two in the entry way plus one for each individual cubical room) so quite noisy hearing them slam throughout the night when other guests enter and leave the property.

Clean and basic and affordable, small and shared bathrooms but good for getting some sleep after a flight (and they were ok with us checking in after midnight when our flight was delayed)

Our room was 9 flights of stairs up and no lift . Walls so thin I could hear the people next doors every move it was awful . Window was broke and iv ended up with a bad chest infection .staff not very helpful of pleasant. Cheap accomatation but by the time they charge you for towels and to store your bags it's not much cheaper. The only good point about this hotel is that it is clean . I'd say it's more off a hostel than a hotel and the beds are like sleeping on the floor

No car parking, if you want to park inside you have to pay 14.25£ per night for car parking charges, smell carpet , no teabag and catel in room, bed is not comfortable, only best for price is less, near with town center .

The hostel is located 30 min.walk from the Princes str.
The room is ok,the kitchen is on the each floor and you have everything for cooking,also Tv .
The supermarket is on the next street and small food shop very close,also the bus stop isn't far.

Check-in had long lines and was chaotic. Rooms misallocated and keys confused. Room first night was smelly and had no curtains. Imagine that in June in Edinburgh! Noise from other people and light stopped sleep. Room second night was also smelly and the window didn't shut, so the room was cold. This place really is poor by even student standards. For a similar £35 a night, if you book a few weeks in advance, you can have a proper Travelodge just off the Royal Mile.
3.0 / 10.0
OK, this place is hard to characterize. Not for the faint of heart.
Loved: Great location. On a quiet street 1 block from the Meadows, 1 block from SouthBridge/ClerkSt. 1 block from a little store with fresh veggies and milk.1 block from fish and chips, pubs, argentine, indian food. 20 min walk to High street and everything on campus. Again, great location.
4 private bedrooms. Doors closed and locked. Toilet room separate from bathroom (tub/shower combo). 1 room with kitchen, couch, TV. TV had a cord so we could watch movies from computer on slightly bigger screen. Washer/dryer combo really worked (found directions online by googling model number)
Things I didn't love: 5th floor walkup. Apt on 2 levels. Not all the windows were able to close. One room smelled a lot (mustard?) Dishes in the sink when we arrived, and maybe dogfood or a cookie ground into the carpet. Vacuum cabinet wouldn't close, so the vac cleaner kept springing into the kitchen. The oven did not work, and the stovetop (hob) started heating long after we had given up on it. Carpet: old and icky. Rooms: small and sterile shoeboxes (see picture--it's exactly as characterless as woodprint melamine can be). Window sills grimy. Old undies in a drawer. No towels! Had to buy bathtowels at check-in desk,kitchen towels& bathmat in town.
Within1 week it was our clean, well loved and happy abode. We tied kitchen door open,tamed the vacuum, converted mustard-smelling room with open window to hang up our drying clothes.
