The property is located well inside the city making it easy to catch any of the public transport available or just walk around. There are great coffee shops in the area for the morning hit of caffine.

Would stay again

All in all I had a good experience staying at this accommodation. The room I had was basic, but comfortable enough and decent value considering the timing of my trip. They have friendly and helpful staff and nice location. I would use it again.

Strategic place

Beautiful place, easy to reach from town centre. Lovely people work there, everyone was amazing! I think it's strategic: 20 minutes from Princes Street, but far enough from the traffic areas.

6/10 Good

Service and staff were very good. Beds were incredibly uncomfortable however, and there was no air conditioning, which meant that it was very difficult to sleep.

Great!

We loved that it was only a 15-20 min walk to many popular sites. Quiet area away from all of the busyness without feeling like you are missing out. Staff was kind and accomodating. Beds were comfortable. Lots of food places a few mins walk away. The bus to get to the airport was also a very short walk.

8/10 Very good

The property itself was in a good location and proximity to city centre was ideal as we were able to walk most places. The only downside was the room was very warm, the mattress was lumpy and the pillows rather thin. Over all we would recommend it for it's location, facilities and staff were wonderful. It is ideal for a few but we recommend you bring your own fan and pillows.

Very convenient for the fringe, bus service very good and easy 30min walk to centre. Tram station only 10mins. Quite basic accommodation but perfect for staying during The Fringe. The road was a bit noisy.

Our room needed a good clean especially the floor. Very stuffy no air flow at all. Staff are very helpful.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

This place seems to be a student dorm that has been repurposed as a hotel/hostel. Staff was very friendly and helpful. There was a "shared space" common room at the end of my hall complete with a kitchen and refrigerator if you want to buy and prepare your own food. It is relatively close (short walk) to the train station and very close to a bus station making transportation convenient.

Good location

Good location, a 10 min walk to haymarket tram stop. Cleanliness could be improved, there was someone else’s hairs on the shower wall and someone’s boxers inside the bottom shelf in the wardrobe. The room was very small. The staff were lovely though.

Overall good

Good location for the Fringe. Studio was had everything required. Bathroom and shower were good. Only issues were the mattress and pillows were quite thin and not comfortable and the room was very hot. Overall would stay again as very good value compared to other accommodations during the festival.

Those are student dorms, and they look like student dorms! Reasonably cheap and well located for what I had to do in Edinburgh. Do not expect too much luxury: you will have a bed, a bathroom, and a kettle if you ask for it. That's it. Friendly people at the front office.

Ok but too hot!

They are what youd expect from student accommodation basic but sufficient. Staff were friendly and cleanliness was ok. Quite a central location. However, the rooms were extremely hot, uncomfortably so. It felt like there was heating on (August). The corridors were even warmer. The weather wasnt especially warm so it did not seem to be related to that. Based on this i wouldn't stay again.
Verified review

6/10 Good

The room is very small, remember this is a student halls, so the room really is for one person, which is why you get one towel, even if two are staying. Sadly, considering what we paid and assuming how much a student would pay per year, the mattress really is cheap and offers little to no support. All internal areas were roasting and in the bedroom, we could only open the window slightly. The shared area was useful and clean and bathroom was decent, but its just the mattress and a lack of space for two people which was the issue. If you are ok with this, then book it, but dont expect a lot.
