My partner and I spent three nights here for the festival, and it's a clean student accommodation. The good thing is the reception is 24 hours, and the room is clean. Also, it's a walking distance to the most sightseeing spots in Edinburgh. However, the twin bed is difficult for two adults even though I am small. The window is not easy to open, so it's a bit warm in summer. There is no soundproofing in the room, so that you can hear a lot of noise from people slamming the doors all night and in the morning. Finally, maybe we didn't notice any reminders to bring your own towels as they charge £3 per one. And they charge £10 for keeping a suitcase. Also, when we checked in, the late checkout with paying an additional fee was fine; however, while we applied the day before, they changed their policy again, saying they needed time to clean the room. The checkout time is 10 am, which is a little bit earlier. It's more like a better hostel, allowing you to have your own space. But please do not expect it to be a proper hotel.

The most uncomfortable mattress ive ever slept on, the shower didnt work properly, the windows hardly open so its suffocatingly boiling and fans dont do anything. Some of the kitchen items were in disgusting condition. Really glad my student accommodation wasnt like this, but staff are lovely and easy to rent things like hairdryers and towels. Great location.

Bargain basement - good location, no parking, actually depressing if you were an actual student.. but if you have a small budget and its instead of sleeping rough then ok.

Friendly staff, unfortunate conditions. Unhygienic, smells of mildew, infested with silver fish and extremely hot and humid. Beds were uncomfortable and the bedding was stained. Would not recommend unless absolutely necessary.

Had to clean our own room bc it was filthy on day one, had to pay for everything including towels and hand soap and room was either freezing cold or way too hot. The bed also has hairs all over it and the towels (that we paid for) had chunks of other people’s hair in it. They also made us pay extra to store bags before check in - which just feels unnecessary since the room was expensive enough. Ended up leaving early because we couldn’t do it anymore. :/

Exactly what I'd expect from campus accommodation. Simple, straightforward, clean enough. Friendly, helpful staff, everything worked. As they say, the rooms do get very warm, and there's not much ventilation, but I was exhausted every night, after a day on the Fringe, so I slept ok (in spite of the other occupants of my flat) being perpetual door-slammers. I don't know if I was just unlucky, but the kitchen (flat 18) had no kettle - everybody was boiling water in a large saucepan, which was all there was. That strikes me as a bit unsafe for pouring into a mug to make tea or coffee.

Just ad expected. Budget, no frills and just to spend the night over safely without lots of expectations!
