Good modern, and clean, accommodation very walkable from Edinburgh Waverley station. As student accommodation it does not have same luxuries as a hotel; however the place more than met my needs and I would definitely stay here again.

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.

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.
