Destiny Student Murano - Campus Accommodation

Pros: good price for a few nights stay if you are not looking for luxury, it is a 20' walk from the center and a 10' bus ride, there are several cafes, pubs and supermarkets in 5 blocks around. It was clean and the staff was very friendly. Each area is equipped with a kitchen so you can prepare something for yourself if you want. Cons: the room is empty, the bathroom has no carpet, and it is very annoying because when you get out of the shower the whole floor gets wet, the light has a motion detector so it turns off when you are showering and you have to open the door and take your hand out to turn it back on. They give one towel per person, if you ask again they charge you £5 There is no night lamp, and it only has two very bright ceiling lights. I think you can ask for the hangers at reception. The plugs were faulty and we had to reposition the adapters all the time, which is dangerous because it can end up burning an electronic device. Although the administration strictly requests that after 10pm there be no disturbing noises, people don’t usually respect this and you can hear doors slamming and loud voices from very early hours. The walls are thin we could even hear the neighbor snoring. Conclusion: if your travel plan is to save money and you are not looking for too many comforts, it is a very good place to stay and it is better than a hostel.

My friend and I had a very good stay at Destiny Student Murano; there is really nothing we could complain about. The rooms had a good size and the kichen we had acess to supplied everything you need in a good kitchen equippement. We especially liked the supplements of everyday-needs like shampoo, shower gel, salt, pepper, oropax etc. right next to the reception, everyone had access too. Also the receptionists have been very friendly and patient with us all the time.

It was a really conveniant place to stay in Edinburgh. Not too far from the bus or the tramway, and there is always someone from the staff on site.
