Staff were very helpful and friendly, the student apartments are very basic but functional. No bells and whistles just somewhere to put your head down for the night nothing more nothing less.

This is a university property, used during the summer as a hotel. The bed was great, the shower very good, and it is right next to the Royal Mile (an exit of the property is on the Royal Mile street). The only negative comment is there is no TV/fridge/coffee maker (all related to its normal function). The hot water stopped working at some point for a couple of days, and being a Festival weekend, it was hard to find someone to fix it; but the staff gave us *also* access to another room (in an older building, so it was not occupied) that had a working shower, which turned out to be very good solution.

Very good location and great staff. The room (2 rm apartment) was well equipped, very reasonably priced and functional. Mattress could do with a replacement in one of the rooms. Great for visiting the Fringe or Tattoo

The room was of adequate size but for 2 people the beds where too small I’d say more of a queen size than double. Was the cheapest accommodation we could find during the fringe and in a good location for many of the acts.

The staff is very good, no complaints there. The rooms are designed for student housing so the beds are small, uncomfortable, the chairs are uncomfortable, the window is terrible as a result the rooms get stuffy and hot. (Probably not a concern most of the year) But it is student housing at a cheap cost so what does one expect really. The location is great.

Awful hot room

Rooma was very warm all the time. Weather was not responsible because temperature outside was about 20 C. Reception said that same in other rooms too.

It was nice to have a little kitchen area so that I could refigerate and prepare food if necessary. The only thing that was a little disconcerting was that you can't get OUT without pushing buttons or using the key card. My key card never worked on the card reader getting into the lobby, so if someone hadn't been in the lobby, I couldn't have gotten out. It made me feel a bit trapped. But everyone was very nice and helpful. Easy walk to the Royal Mile.

Everything was fine apart from one thing. All the doors bang very loudly unless you keep hold of them and allow them to close softly. Unfortunately people didn't do this, meaning you'd be woken up either late at night or extremely early. The accommodation needs to invest in some soft-close door closers.

這住宿不宜用酒店這名稱，應該直接叫公寓比較恰當。另外，洗衣設施要用Apps,對只使用一兩次的人來說，不設實際。地方雖然小，但有小型廚房和雪櫃，都可以說，價廉物美。

Es gibt viele Bewertungen die Appartements wären zu klein, zu stickig etc. Ja, aber es ist eine Studenten Unterkunft und ich war wirklich schon in schlechteren Hotels. Der Empfang war super freundlich, die Unterkunft ist zweckmäßig aber super zentral. Es war etwas warm in den Räumen, aber wir haben einfach mal ne zeitlang die Haustür aufgemacht und durchgelüftet. Die Betten sind recht klein, aber es hat überraschend gut geklappt darin zu zweit zu schlafen. Aber man muss sich schon sehr mögen. Es könnte etwas sauberer sein, aber es war auch nicht dreckig. Alles in Allem kann ich die Unterkunft empfehlen und würde es auch wieder buchen. Gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.

The location was convenient and the staff were friendly and helpful. The room size was fine for a couple of nights. The bed was not very comfortable and the pillows were very flat. The sink did not drain very quickly. The doors slam very loudly. Good internet connection.
