This is student housing. We brought our own pillows from home, which I would recommend. The beds are small, but was fine for us because we were prepared for the size/situation based on other reviews. Bathroom is tiny. Rooms are not cleaned during your stay unless you pay extra. If you have accurate expectations you will enjoy your stay here- the staff was REALLY FRIENDLY and accommodating-- the actual room was as expected, because we were expecting a dorm room! :)

Good value for money, usually student accommodation but reused for the Fringe. Basic room with bathroom, towels and bed linen. No tv but good WiFi. Room was clean and comfortable, mattress not great though
Would recommend for good value accommodation for the Fringe

Can’t recommend
Sayed during the festival, I can’t recommend. It’s still too expensive for what you get. If all you want is a bed and a shower then maybe but the room is poor and the mattresses are very cheep and old.

Really good budget option. Clean modern and secure. 15 min walk from centre, and right next to the tram.
Only criticism is the room was quite hot in the august sun, and with the window open it was a bit noisy. But I imagine that hot weather is rarely a problem in Edinburgh…

Great position. Surrounded by all amenities. Walkable to all we wanted to see
We were on the third floor with great view but would have loved the outside of the windows to have been a little cleaner so we coul have enjoyed it more. Realise this could be difficult but thought the widows were reversable.

I was trying to get in to the property. I had a bad experience with them . Because I booked for 23 and 24 of July but the system booked me for 28 and 29 . I was trying to cancel my booking I couldn’t because of the difficulty and complexity in tje system . My mony gon and and I couldn’t arrange any other appointments to refund .. so it is terrible.
Spacious rooms and overall a good area not far from the center

Room was still dirty and hadnt been cleaned . The gave me another room for the night which is fair enough. I asked what time to be out of that room the next day and they said 3 . I went out the next morning at 10 and got a message at 10:30 saying they had gathered my belongings and personal items from the room and left them at reception . Totally no respect or care given to me what so ever

The cost is very affordable compared with hotels. This is a modern student room. The bed is very narrow for two adults. There are countless restaurants and businesses within walking distance. The street is very noisy; in the summer, you'd like the window open for air, but the noise is hard to bear.
