Destiny Student Shrubhill - Campus Accommodation

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.

Accommodation basic but have paid much more for much less in Edinburgh and good natured helpful staff. Have already recommended to friends

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.

Good: Location, cost compared to other Edinburgh hotels, studio had everything needed. Bad: Nothing really at the price.

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.

Really nice location, very basic but comfortable. Between two Tram stops and a sainsburys and starbucks in the immediate vacinity. Very lovely staff especially Aimee who was friendly on check in and Josh, who was very helpful on checkout. Keep up the good work!!

Everything was great except the room looked much bigger in the photo. But Edinburgh hotels are so out of reach, we were very glad of the student accommodation so we could attend our daughter's graduation. Thank you.

Our expectations weren't set high, knowing this was Student accommodation, so pleasantly surprised by the free toiletries and tea/coffee. Small room and access only from one side of the bed but fit our purpose. Couldn't fault the service and nice cafes available nearby. Great use of otherwise empty rooms in a busy city.

g had an excellent stay at Destiny Student lovely 33room with a view and room very clean, bedding excellent and staff verey helpful and frendly. Everything we wanted. would stay there again.

Excellent service considering it is cheap and cheerful. Great location!

Rooms are nice and clean. Kitchen are supplied with kitchen tools and supplies to cook up a meal. A great alternative to a hotel and a 30 minute walk to the city center.

Easy student accommodation perfect for a cheap and convenient stay. Front desk was very helpful and welcoming at all hours of the day. The rooms themselves were fine, communal kitchen should have provided cleaning materials. For a nonsmoking building everything reeked of cigarette smoke - I believe our shared neighbours were smoking out their window.

Cheap and cheerful. Easy access to everywhere.

Acceptable place at affordable price. The bed is uncomfortable. The room as well as the bathroom is clean but some facilities are broken.

Conveniently located & easy to get too from airport. Lots of cafes nearby. Need to remember its NOT a hotel (student accommodation).... which was more than adequate...

The entire bathroom gets wet because the shower is not separated from the toilet, there was no bathroom mat as well, which makes the area really inconvenient to use. For a student accommodation the walls were also very thin, couldn't sleep the whole night cause you could hear everyone when they were walking or opening/closing doors. I gave it an average rating for being average.

Great location near a stop on the Tram.

Walking distance into city with also the option of taking the tram or bus outside the door of the property, supermarkets close by, staff friendly
