The bed was very soft and worn out. And note they are small - might not be for everyone to share this. We knew and were fine though.

Great basic but fairly priced accommodation, rooms are fine with what you need, liked that there is a shared kitchen. The staff was super friendly and helpful. There are complementaries such as tea, coffee, milk, toiletries etc. good location, close to the tram station. Could even walk 20 min to the centre. There are restaurants around and a supermarket literally downstairs.

The mattress...

Exactly as expected! Best booked for short stays and if you know you'll be too busy to spend much time here. Friendly staff, clean, and great location not far from the centre of Edinburgh.

Booked this for my parents and they struggle a bit getting in and out of bed cause it's placed beside a wall and there was not a lot of space. Also our rooms were at the end of a very zig-zaggy corridor and got disorientated a couple of times. Rooms were close to a kitchen that was VERY noisy at night.

Location is very good. Plenty of options for bars, coffee, shops. Rooms are brand new built. 24h reception is super helpful.

Everything is quite worn, needs some refurbishment.

Location, price, staff

The hallways are too warm and suffocating and have a strange odour. Soundproofing needs to be improved as you hear a lot from outside the room when people are in the corridor inside the apartment.

Good value for money. On the whole, clean and quite comfortable with adequate facilities.

Bed size is small for two people. Please increase bed size

Bathroom light switched off after 10 seconds so a lot of hand waving and the shower was actually quite unsafe when it was suddenly pitch dark.

Very good accommodation and facilities for the price.

You can hear people passing by the room, corridor was very warm, ventilation wasn't very good. You have to register an account before using the Wi-Fi, I had to repeat the process a few times, as I was travelling with parents, not very user friendly for elderly.

There was a share kitchen, so we could prepare simple breakfast. Price was fair. Location is fine, tram was walking distance.

The whole building seemed to have the heating on despite it being August, so it was a wall of heat when you walked into the corridors. However, the window open and a fan from reception solved this issue.

Pleased with the accommodation and facilities for the price. Good location next to trams and buses. Plus walking distance to the centre and tourist areas. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Share kitchen messy on arrival ! I was told it wasn’t cleaned every day . Residents need to know to remove rubbish from kitchen . Corridors were extremely & uncomfortably hot & unaired ! Germ machine! Room was great as window open all the time !

Handy

The bed linen and pillows could have been better quality. It was hard to control the temperature. It was very hot when we visited. The corridors were like a sauna

Great communication and booking in. The description was good and even though it was basic, the room had everything you'd need. It made a great base for us while we were at the Fringe.

A bit too expensive

Clean and comfortable rooms Good location

Stayed in July 2023

Very warm, some communal areas very small and the doors don't move easily. Slightly worn in parts (carpet in our room had an obviously cleaned stain next to the bed which wasn't very pleasant).

Convenient spot, private bathroom, decent kitchen space. Friendly check-in staff.

Beds were such that you could feel the springs, not really a mattress. Awkward and uncomfortable. Desk staff inconsistent -- nice / not nice.

Clean bathroom and clean sheets. Location was good. Secure.

Very hot, small beds, poor ventilation

Great location, easy access to transport and shops

The bed was extremely uncomfortable. I felt sorry for the students who had the sleep on that bed. Plus half of the stowe was not working, also they had shut down the washing machine and the oven. But fine.

I loved that it was so on a budget, clean, safe, and accessible. The kitchen was nice, we cooked our dinner there. The rooms and the kitchen was clean and tidy. We had everything we needed.

The mattress was not so confortable and they couldn't provide extra blankets.

The location was very good, from there we had easy access to the city center. There is a 7-11 supermarket and a Starbucks very close. The rooms were ok, matched with the price paid. The kitchen was clean and had everything we needed. The location was very safe.

The bed was terrible: it felt like nothing but springs. Quite noisy because the building is on a main road, even though my room was to the side. Traffic and trams from early in the morning. Bring ear plugs! A bit shabby and the carpet was coarse, holding onto hairs and other bits and pieces. £25 charge for losing the room key. (My own fault but still annoying.)

Good basic accommodation for the Fringe, when it's hard to find places to stay for a reasonable price. Exactly what you would expect from a student room: decent bathroom, bed, desk, small wardrobe, quite spartan. Well equipped shared kitchen. Decent location with a supermarket and cafe downstairs and plenty of places to eat nearby. About a mile from the city centre. Friendly staff who seem to work very hard.

Flatmates noise The mattress had some lose springs

Facilities (kitchen and bathroom) Free shampoo and shower gel

The bed (mattress) was not comfortable at all (kind of painful even :/) , but the rest was perfect :)

Very clean, we were very happy about the rooms and everything in general.
