Great location & helpful receprion staff
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...
Kevin, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Kelly, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Walking distance into city with also the option of taking the tram or bus outside the door of the property, supermarkets close by, staff friendly

Rooms are nice and clean. Kitchen are supplied with kitchen tools and supplies to cook up a meal. A great alternative to a hotel and a 30 minute walk to the city center.

The receptionist are friendly. It was not easy to find a flat and my room. There are a few supermarkets near the accommodation.
Noriko, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Decent location, friendly staff, everything you’d expect from student accommodation.
John, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Dorota, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Alexandra, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Claire, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Acceptable place at affordable price. The bed is uncomfortable. The room as well as the bathroom is clean but some facilities are broken.
Kaung Myat Wai, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It is not a Hotel, it is a Student Accomodation
JORGE EDUARDO ROSALES, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Imogen, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

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.
Gráinne, 1-night trip
