The staff were great. The place was a very close walk to the tram , which was amazing for getting around the city. The place was clean and the building felt secure. As a student dorm , it was as expected, nothing flashy but that’s all that was needed to enjoy the city. There is a grocery store and a Starbucks very close which was also very convenient.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Cleanliness
Great location, friendly personnel, but the communal areas were very dirty, looks like it have never been cleaned. Rooms very basic, but you get what you pay for, cant expect 4 star hotel amenities for this price. If you are on the low budget and do not care where you sleep, this is the option for you.

Very easy walk to the station and city centre with lots of trams and buses. On a main road so very noisy but you can get free ear plugs from reception. The mattress was quite uncomfortable and would have benefited from a topper.

Everything was great except the room looked much bigger in the photo. But Edinburgh hotels are so out of reach, we were very glad of the student accommodation so we could attend our daughter's graduation. Thank you.

Basic but functional
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.

Easy student accommodation perfect for a cheap and convenient stay. Front desk was very helpful and welcoming at all hours of the day. The rooms themselves were fine, communal kitchen should have provided cleaning materials. For a nonsmoking building everything reeked of cigarette smoke - I believe our shared neighbours were smoking out their window.

Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Grim cell, no bedside lights, immovable ‘ double’ bed too small for two, shelves with sharp edges that stuck out into the mattress space and caught you when you moved in your sleep, desk overlapping the mattress…. Awful, if clean. Overpriced. One night was the maximum anyone could stick this.
