No frills roof over your head. Room was clean enough. Laundry broke halfway through so had to air-dry clothing in the room, a few items were ruined. No AC in August but we were provided a fan.

The room wasn’t cleaned very well and you can hear everyone around you. The walls are paper thin, but luckily other visitors were as mindful as they could be. Some staff are a little rude. Beds are very firm, but I prefer firm beds so it worked for me. Apart from that, it’s in an amazing area. The location by far is the best part of this place. Really close to the tram and there are a ton of cafes and pubs nearby!

This is a student housing building open to the public for limited times in the year. It is not a hotel and although it provides a lot of space and privacy for the price (~£100) a night the amenities are bare minimum, cleanliness could be a lot better. Overall it ok if you are not fuzzy about staying in a from but pricey.

Grim cell, no bedside lights, immovable ‘ double’ bed too small for two, shelves with sharp edges that stuck out into the mattress space and caught you when you moved in your sleep, desk overlapping the mattress…. Awful, if clean. Overpriced. One night was the maximum anyone could stick this.

The staff were great. The place was a very close walk to the tram , which was amazing for getting around the city. The place was clean and the building felt secure. As a student dorm , it was as expected, nothing flashy but that’s all that was needed to enjoy the city. There is a grocery store and a Starbucks very close which was also very convenient.

Great location, friendly personnel, but the communal areas were very dirty, looks like it have never been cleaned. Rooms very basic, but you get what you pay for, cant expect 4 star hotel amenities for this price. If you are on the low budget and do not care where you sleep, this is the option for you.

Very easy walk to the station and city centre with lots of trams and buses. On a main road so very noisy but you can get free ear plugs from reception. The mattress was quite uncomfortable and would have benefited from a topper.

If you are on a budget, Destiny Shrubhill is a very good option. The staff are great and the rooms bright and airy. The internet/wifi is excellent. You can catch a tram every six minutes from St Andrews Square (near the northern exit from Waverley station) to the MacDonald Road stop, a journey of about five or eight minutes, and then walk downhill for about three minutes. There are some small issues. To use the washing machine, you first need to spend half an hour downloading an app in a room with no mobile reception. It would be better to make prepaid washing cards available. Also, the chair supplied did not fit under the desk, which makes working a bit difficult. And it would have been good to have a top sheet as well as the duvet. But these are minor suggestions for improvement, and this is a great place to stay.
