Can’t think of anything

Location was very convenient. Beds were fairly comfortable. Free breakfast was great. Staff was very friendly.

Gap between headboard and bed made it slightly uncomfortable. A kettle and cup in room would be nice, even if tea and coffee isn’t provided, would be nice to have the facility to make them

Great staff Great location Great price

Would have preferred a double bed option instead of 2 singles.

Great location easy to walk into town. Breakfast had great choice and was unlimited. Lovely views over the city.

Shared bathrooms (approx 1 per 4 rooms) were OK, no problems with availability and generally clean and tidy but mastic in one I used needs to be replaced due to black mould growth.

Good location for Edinburgh Fringe events - 25-30 min walk to old town venues. Pleasant parkland-like setting with backdrop of Arthur’s Seat. Good buzz with lots of young people around. Simple but adequate study bedrooms. Good breakfasts but don’t expect fine cuisine. Might be struggle for veggies and vegans.

Water pressure and hot water a little temperamental!

Clean, lovely breakfast and friendly staff. Easy enough walk from the city centre

There was nothing to dislike really.

The accommodation was basic but very clean. The breakfast was excellent; something for everyone. Good value for the price. Out of town but an easy bus ride to the centre of Edinburgh.

The water pressure in the shower could be better.

A unique experience to stay at the student accommodation for Uni of Edinburgh. Simple but comfortable rooms with all the essentials for a short stay. Good location to explore the city centre and go to some fringe shows. The buffet breakfast was also good.

I'm not sure if the heating was on as the hallways and bedroom were very warm, we did check our heating which did appear to be off.

Great facilities and excellent value for money.

A bit noisy as next to a communal room but it was quiet after 11 pm so I didn't mind so much.

Lovely room, nice view, good location.

Some noise in the evening/night, for example doors slamming.

The location is excellent. The breakfast had lots of variety to choose from. The room had tea/coffee making facilities and own bathroom.

The lift was out of order; it was repaired, but we didn’t use it (making an odd noise!), and then out of order again. The exercise did us good….and lift problems can happen anywhere.

Clean, comfortable, quiet at night. Shared bathrooms were not a problem. Breakfast was plentiful, lots of healthy choices, plus good cooked breakfast. Canteen was very well run. Bus stop nearby.

The reception staff are mostly students, so they can be a bit vague on things in relation to attractions, and transport, but you 'll be offered a map on arrival, and most attractions are on it. I wish someone had mentioned that the bus 30 and 33 arrive at the Common Wealth Pools, which is a 5/10 walk with a carryone to the property. You can take buses from the opposite side of Edinburgh Waverly station to the summer stay at the university and not walk with a carry-on as was suggested by reception staff, unless you have superpowers. It was disappointing that the restaurant didn't offer lunch and only evening meals. I had to resort to lunching at M&S and Pret, which was a bit boring due to my non-meat, gluten-free, and dairy intolerance. There are restaurants near the stay and please don't ever eat at Thelounge, as it was the worst and most expensive lunch I've ever had in Edinburgh.

The location is really good as you can walk to the Scotish Museum and to the Royal Mile to visit further attractions by foot. I was a solo travellor and felt very safe at the stay. The morning breakfast also catered for my non-diary and gluten-free preferences, even though it would've been nicer to have had more options than porridge, which I like, but not every day. The bathroom facilities were also very good for the price, and my twin room had a TV and kettle, which were a plus. For an economical option near attractions, this stay is value for money. I always visit Edinburgh on a five year cycle, so I'd look into staying here again if I decide to come back in the next five years.

All excellent

Really unbeatable in terms of value-for-money. The rooms are basic but have all you need + fare includes a ginormous breakfast selection. Staff is very helpful and friendly and all sights are easily reached by bus. Really recommend to hike to the top of Arthur's seat from there (trail starts very close to the accommodation) for an amazing view of Edinburgh!

No housekeeping for stays shorter than 6 days.

Location is good, about a 20 minutes walk to the Old City and a 5 minute walk to Holyrood park. It's student dorms redesigned into a hotel for summer holidays, so don't expect too much. If you get a room with a private bathroom, then it sort of passes as a 2* hotel room, which is not bad. Reception is 24/7, very friendly staff. The breakfast buffet was the real hero of this place, it was simply superb (and they served delicious haggis, too). Overall, considering the astronomical prices for accomodation in Edinburgh, this was quite a good deal.

No option for single rooms when I booked. Whilst the rooms are fine, the noise in the corridors is very apparent. From 7an the ‘fire doors’ in bedrooms and corridors slam shut regularly inevitably waking any sleeping resident up with a bang! This happened every morning so sadly wasn’t a one off…

Facilities were very good, breakfast was varied (mostly English breakfast) but a good selection of fruit and other alternatives. Staff were very accommodating on arrival. There are taxis readily available by local/ Uber drivers and if the weather is nice then the walk to the city centre is between 20-40 mins depending on your destination
