As the toilet and bathroom are shared, providing slippers would help tenants move in and out of the rooms more comfortably, as shoes are not suitable for such movements.

The location and breakfast were excellent. The place is impressively clean, especially considering it serves as student accommodation and a summer stay for tourists. I particularly appreciated the central location, which is within walking distance of Edinburgh Old Town. The breakfast was outstanding, and the reception staff was very helpful and informative.

Lovely quiet room with a fabulous view of Arthurs Seat. Our room was very reminiscent of our Student Days back in the 1980s with the twin beds and student desk. We particularly liked the shower and the Arran Aromatic toiletries' were a lovely touch. Breakfast was in the nearby student refectory but it was particularly busy as the World Orienteering Championships was on but there was a good selection of buffet choices and it was easy to serve yourself. Staff were very helpful and everything ran smoothly. As we arrived in Edinburgh early before Check In, it was good that there was a facility to leave our bags and head out to explore.

Little far away from activities. We used an Uber to get around.

Vibrant community of travellers. Great breakfast and restaurant. Little store to meet needs such a juice, cold remedies and snacks.

Squeaky room doors - a drop or 2 from a grease gun wouldn't go astray. Shared showers very basic and only 2 both with toilets but not separate from the toilets. Room was small but adequate. Clean and tidy. Bed a bit squeaky. I've stayed in better student accomodation.

Supplied breakfast was brilliant - never had better. Had everything. Arthur's bar had a friendly, relaxed vibe.

Kind of a weird smell when entering the room

Good value for your money! The bus stops very close to the campus so great location as well. Breakfast better than expected.

The breakfast was really good, you can choose from various options and have as much as you want. I am not a big fan of English breakfast so I chose pancakes and croissants with jam. Small rooms but well designed so there is enough space in the shower and for cosmetics.

the bathroom was great but the water pressure in the shower was bad

The pillows we not great! They we so incredibly flat. Thankfully reception were able to give me 2 more!

The staff were SO friendly! The campus was beautiful, it was great having breakfast included which was so yummy! And the bar (Arthurs). Super easy to get to and all the taxi drivers and uber drivers had no problem finding us etc.

Not really walking distance to town, bus stop fairly close. A bit loud.

Clean rooms. Amazing breakfast. Easy to walk up Arthur seat from accomodation

You couldn’t regulate the temperature in the room. It did get quite warm, but it wasn’t unbearable. I see this is Minor in the grand scheme of things.

Wow, this place is a big bang for your buck! I would stay here again, 100 times over for the value. One night we took the bus from downtown to the Sheep Heid Inn. It was a beautiful walk through the countryside from the restaurant back to the university dorms. You eat in the same dining facility as the students for the free, included breakfast and the selection of foods was enormous. You can eat as much as you like and take snacks for the road. I tried two kinds of haggis as well as blood sausage and it was all amazing. I never expected that Scotland would have some of the best tasting croissants I’ve ever had. The rooms were simple, the furniture was old and the carpets worn, but it was clean and perfectly fine. I expected a dorm room and that’s exactly what we got. This place is the greatest value for your money and includes the linens and towels. I hope to be back!

At times just a little noisy in the hallway, but it wasn't too bad and we were able to get a good night's rest.

Big and busy place (lots of summer students), excellent breakfast, very attentive staff, free luggage storage, 24h reception.
