    Extremely friendly staff, clean, pretty rooms, pleasant kitchen, excellent offer/price ratio. We came to the Fringe, kind of expecting crowds and exorbitant prices. Within our (moderate) price range this has been really good!

    Mattress was not particularly comfortable. Did not offer breakfast, I have stayed at Pollock Hall which offers breakfast, but location not so great, whereas this was better location but no breakfast.

    Room had everything I needed, clean, good size, nice bathroom/toilet, location was great. I could use the kitchen facilities if needed. Happened to be quiet when I was there, easy access to public transport.

    Mattress was thin and springs were sticking in your back. Kitchen facilities adequate but quite basic. Rather pricey accommodation but it was during the Fringe. No instructions for oven top etc

    Location a short walk to centre. Easy access to tram stops. Plenty of room in the top floor studio. 24 hr reception. You

    All around the campus there were signs saying “This is not a hotel”.. Unfortunately, i was staying in August when they charge full Hotel rates.. Thus it wouldn’t hurt to put some coat hangers in the cupboard, towels in the room and more than one toilet roll to last 4 weeks.. Also, my room wasn’t cleaned once during my stay, just a bag of sheets dropped outside my door after a fortnight.. So i’m guessing either drop the rates a tad, or up the service slightly..

    It was quiet and clean.

    Only gripe would be check-in being a bit slow, arriving at posted check-in time and having to wait 30+ mins due to rooms not being ready

    Away from the bustle of The Fringe festival but could easily be in town within 5-10mins on public transport with stops right around the corner. Building was quite secure with staff available 24hrs

    Bed small double and very lumpy. Take a duvet to line the mattress with.

    Great position. Bright clean buildings and clean bedding. Rooms grouped into 6 in an apartment type setting with kitchen area. We didn't see other guests in the flat - weren't disturbed. Good to have fridge and cooking facilities. 24 hr concierge.

    On the day I stayed the Internet was not working. It was also noisy because the fire doors crash. I stayed during August which meant the price was sky high. These rooms are great value compared to hotels but it was still a lot of money!

    Cheap and cheerful accommodation, spotless, great location for tram, near supermarkets. I like having access to the kitchen in the apartments and being able to borrow a towel

    Reliable Fringe accommodation

    The bed is uncomfortable, the check-in time is inflexible (cannot be done any earlier, charges are asked to store our luggage). Check-out time is also a bit too early.

    The accommodation is reachable by walking, bus or tram from the city centre (about 20min either way). It's the best value-for-money I've ever found during Fringe time, in 10 years of visiting the Fringe I've stayed at a Destiny Student accommodation four times.

    There is a ton of construction nearby and it was a little hard to find in the dark amongst it all. The room was also super warm & no towels were provided.
