Staff was generally unhelpful and couldn’t answer. Basic questions about the facility. There was a community room that they did not tell us about so we were unable to use it. The room was uncomfortable and dirty, the bed mattress was extremely old and uncomfortable. The shower had mold, the drain was plugged up and the shelf in the bathroom was broken and unusable. The overhead sewer piping in the parking area near our car was leaking raw sewage from the bottom of the building. We wish we had spent a little more and stayed somewhere else.

Slightly out of the centre of the city but great value. Tidy, clean and room more than adequate. Right next door to supermarket and cafe. Close to buses into the city. Lovely promenade by the water 5 mins from residence - great for a walk or run. The late check in is a bit if a hassle but probably reflects the late check out at 11am. However it woukd have been good to have had a safe place to store bags while we waited for rhe room to be available. The room also needs a rubbish bin (noted tgst previous reviews have said the same thing). Its great that uni accomodation is available in the summer when students away. Makes it affirdable for tourists especially during festivals. Overall, very happy with our stay

We stayed here for one night. We were a bit concerned about its average rating, but everything turned out fine — very clean and tidy. The room’s furnishings were new and met the basic needs without being excessive. The same goes for the bathroom, though unfortunately, there was no shampoo! The bathroom is small, and the bed size is relatively limited for two people, but the bed was comfortable, and overall, everything was good. The accommodation is located a short distance from the sea but is very quiet and isolated. Fortunately, there is a large supermarket nearby, as well as a bus station.

Basic, spotless accommodation with Morrison next to you for cheap parking and any provisions. Stayed for a concert during Edinburghs busy time (when it’s it not) however prices for hotels are normally hiked up! But we managed to get it at a decent rate.

Bare-bones and basic but clean and afforable. The access to a shared kitchen is great. The wifi is strong, the rooms are exactly what you would expect from a dorm. The staff were kind and friendly. Good access to the buses and to the grocery store nearby.

It was an excellent stay. If I ll be visiting again then I ll definitely stay here again. Quite clean and well maintained. Staff is super friendly. The best part? The bus stand is exactly outside the residence which takes you straight to city center.

The young receptionist insisted that I must show either a passport or a driving license in order to check in even though it is not mentioned in the confirmation email. I showed the confirmation email and text but they didn’t help.

This was fine for a night. it is student accommodation and very reasonable. The staff was friendly and helpful. Amenities are soewhat. basic, but what would you expect? despite that, we were very happy with it. The bed was a bit small for 2 people (we are used to a bigger bed) but it wasnt disastrous. worst was perhaps that it was against the wall so i had to climb in from the bottom! The kitchen was clean, and we were able to use it for our breakfast - everything worked fine. Tip for others: you CAN park in the Morrison's car park. Make sure you drive up to the top level, and you can unload right in front of the accommodation's back door. You can park there overnight, if you access the app RingGo, id 682383, and pay for it. Costs around £4. Bus connection to town centre is also fine. 30 mins or so, busses quite frequent.

This is fully a dorm room. It’s serviceable for a quick stay, but it didn’t smell the freshest. The staff was extremely kind and it felt safe.

The staff is untrustworthy and unhelpful. They will not take responsibility for thievery among their staff. My partner forgot their birkenstock sandals in the room, we called less than 6 hours later to ask them to keep them for us so we could come pick them up, however, they allegedly could not find the sandals and they were mysteriously gone. When confronted about this, they refused to take any sense of accountability. SHAME. I've now also read other reviews with people having the same experience, so there seems to be an untrustworthy person among their staff and the rest just covering for them. I warn all travellers considering staying at this accommodation to find other places to stay because you are bound to have something stolen from you.

Stay was fine, as would be expected of student accommodation. Shower was not great. Hairs in the bed.

This property is clean and provides the basics. It is not a hotel but is a college residence used in the summer for others to stay. The residence has several bus stops just a few steps out the door that will take you to the town centre and airport and numerous other areas. There is also a grocery store close by. The beds are small so if it says two can stay … it would be difficult for two people to sleep in the one bed.

Basic accommodation which is aimed for students. Room was very basic but adequately clean. Small double bed. Communal kitchen wasn't clean. All doors tended to slam closed which was noisy. On the upside, it's cheap and the shower worked fine

Un peu loin de la ville, mais propre et tranquille, facile d'accès en autobus. Chambre et cuisinette fonctionnelles. Nous avons dû aller acheter notre papier de toilette. Il n'y en avait pas dans la chambre et les personnes à la réception négligeaient de nous en apporter. De plus, personne n'était en mesure de nous expliquer le fonctionnement des buanderies, les informations qu'on noua a donné étaient fausses.
