excellent value for the money
These student dorm rooms are just the thing for the single traveler who doesn’t need anything fancy and doesn’t mind sharing a bath. It’s private, by the way. Never had to wait my turn, either. Buildings are of recent origin, neat and attractive. Edge of the city location but a quick walk to reach the center. Breakfasts were all-you-can-eat and the food was quite varied and well-prepared, not "continental." Quiet at night with no traffic noise. I’d come back without a second thought.

Feeling like a student again...
It’s a student room in the university. Small, old, noisy, but all reminds the old days of being a student. Walking distance to the city centre, good location. Canteen and shop are nearby. Perfect for short stays.

Really good value for money at a time when all hotels are high priced due to Edinburgh Festival
