Basic but value for money

Great location, really close to the parliament. Lovely staff. Basic but great value for the price I paid. Good base for one night. Big fridge to put any shopping in.

The bed was so uncomfortable, quite small for 2 people and the pillows were very flat. The kettle didn't work and the TV couldn't get a signal. There was work being done right outside our window which started early.

Good size studio room. Within walking distance of town. Quiet at night. Was pretty good considering it is student accommodation.

Room was extremely hot. I knew this from previous reviews so I was expecting it.

For a students house - fabulous!

Stayed here in August 2023. Staff was more than lovely! Location was perfect between Calton Hill and Holyrood Park! Up the street, you’ll find various cafés for breakfast. The rooms were more than spacious and bright thanks to the glass front facing the yard. The kitchen area provided extra facilities. And did I mention how cool the staff was?

As a few mentioned here: can’t pop the windows open, only tilt a little one a bit. One night we had smokers gather just there. -.- And the mattresses weren’t the worst I had slept in, but yeah, they could be replaced. Towels need to be rented from the reception desk. But it being a student accommodation, one can’t expect hotel standards.

Content, but not pleased

Clean, great for highland show accommodation

Very warm in the rooms, extra pillows would be nice as only 1 provided on the bed, checked in online to speed up the process, check in began at 3pm as stated on the site. Arrived at 3pm and room was not ready and had to wait an hour after travelling all day. Quite overpriced for not including breakfast and for basic accommodation. Not worth £290 for 3 nights

Very good value for money.

The service and the location were very good. 15-minute walk from the centre. It was quiet, even though there were a lot of young people staying. The staff was very kind and helpful. The room and ensuite bathroom were newly refurbished and clean. Well equipped common kitchen. I

The common spaces needed some refurbishing too.

Superb

At last, affordable accommodation for a solo traveller in a very expensive city. Simple but comfortable and clean accommodation with access to a kitchen to make tea/coffee. Good location. Dirt cheap if you are a couple. Also offers small free samples of shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Less than a mile from Waverley too. Win, win!

10 AM check out, even 10.30 would be better but 11 o clock better still!

Convenient, good value stay in a great location, modern and most things you need.

Modern, clean, most things you needed, easy to check in and good shared kitchen space. location was good - near old town and shops.

No towels - extra at £3 but hadn't spotted they weren't provided. Motorbikes seemed to be parked in inner courtyard which meant when they were started up in the morning it was loud. Very very warm- modern built to keep heat in and you felt it.

Felt short-changed

Uncomfortable mattress, kitchen not equipped with any utensils or appliances (at least until we chased three times) and renting a towel for £3 sucks… a deposit system would be fair

See above. The positive was the shower - a great shower!

Affordable prices, but poor service, an experience not to be repeated.

location, staff

size of bed, noisy rooms, lack os organization. On the first night, we were constantly awakened by the fire alarm. The next morning, the water failed, and we couldn't shower or use the toilet... The towels were not in the room, so we had to go back to reception to ask for them. They could have delivered them during check-in.
