It’s serviceable for a quick stay, but it didn’t smell the freshest. The staff was extremely kind and it felt safe. ##### Abigail Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Anthonia 16 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities Ok basic Clean easy access ##### Anthonia Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jodie 16 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities This property is clean and provides the basics. It is not a hotel but is a college residence used in the summer for others to stay. The residence has several bus stops just a few steps out the door that will take you to the town centre and airport and numerous other areas. There is also a grocery store close by. The beds are small so if it says two can stay … it would be difficult for two people to sleep in the one bed. ##### Jodie Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 17 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A nice stay Actually a very nice stay. The room was comfortable and we had access to a shared kitchen and common room. It was better than we were expecting. The staff were friendly and helpful. It is next to a Morrisons supermarket with a good cafe (Scottish breakfast is very nice). The bus stop outside gets you into the city centre in around 20 mins. It was exceptional value during the fringe! ##### David Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John 8 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The college is extremely well run,clean &tidy as are the rooms.Staff are very helpfull and on the ball..Transport to the city is 2mins from front of college,every 15mins..beds are cumfie guaranteed good night sleep.. ##### John Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### man hon 14 Aug 2024 Disliked: Staff & service The doors close very loudly. Kitchen short fused frequently. Good location for transportation with a lot of buses going downtown. Also good to have a grocery store within walking distance. No restaurant around the area. ##### man hon Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jessica 28 Jul 2024 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Overall, good value for money. One thing that might help future guests is to not keep a mop in the bathroom, as it left a terrible odor, and the shower curtain didn't touch the floor so water got everywhere when we showered. With transportation right outside the building, it only took 20 minutes to reach the city and there was a kitchen with a convenient Morrison's 4 minutes walking distance away. Would stay again despite the small issues as stated. ##### Jessica Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Frank 27 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was fine for a night. it is student accommodation and very reasonable. The staff was friendly and helpful. Amenities are soewhat. basic, but what would you expect? despite that, we were very happy with it. The bed was a bit small for 2 people (we are used to a bigger bed) but it wasnt disastrous. worst was perhaps that it was against the wall so i had to climb in from the bottom! The kitchen was clean, and we were able to use it for our breakfast - everything worked fine. Tip for others: you CAN park in the Morrison's car park. Make sure you drive up to the top level, and you can unload right in front of the accommodation's back door. You can park there overnight, if you access the app RingGo, id 682383, and pay for it. Costs around £4\. Bus connection to town centre is also fine. 30 mins or so, busses quite frequent. ##### Frank Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jane 8 Aug 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### A very basic stay This was a student room and as such was small with a very small double bed pushed against the wall. If a couple, whoever was wallside would have to either climb over the other, or slither to the end of the bed to get out. The bed was incredibly hard and uncomfortable. There was no bin, either in the room or more importantly, in the shower room which is very poor for disposable of sanitary products, which would have to be put in the bin in the conmunal kitchen area at the end of the hall. The kettle etc were in the kitchen area which was fairly clean though the bin was full of takeaway wrappers and there was a mouldy naan bread left on the side. The shower room was ok (apart from the lack of bin) with a good shower. Our neighbour was obviously a student who turned up about 2am both mornings. It was just a base for us visiting family, but not suitable for anyone staying longer. There are apartments there apparently too which I'm sure are better. There is onroad parking nearby. The reception staff were lovely. ##### Jane Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Saurabh 6 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was an excellent stay. If I ll be visiting again then I ll definitely stay here again. Quite clean and well maintained. Staff is super friendly. The best part? The bus stand is exactly outside the residence which takes you straight to city center. ##### Saurabh Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mia 7 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Bare-bones and basic but clean and afforable. The access to a shared kitchen is great. The wifi is strong, the rooms are exactly what you would expect from a dorm. The staff were kind and friendly. Good access to the buses and to the grocery store nearby. ##### Mia Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### GILLIAN 10 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Good Find Basic, spotless accommodation with Morrison next to you for cheap parking and any provisions. Stayed for a concert during Edinburghs busy time (when it’s it not) however prices for hotels are normally hiked up! But we managed to get it at a decent rate. ##### GILLIAN Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Giulia 16 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I've appreciate the organisation, the kindness and the social space of that place! ##### Giulia Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Shamini 17 Jul 2025 Liked: Staff & service Stay was fine, as would be expected of student accommodation. Shower was not great. Hairs in the bed. ##### Shamini Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 21 Jul 2024 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort Disliked: Cleanliness Good connections to Edinburgh if you are not staying in the room, it is cheap. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### farhad 11 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities We stayed here for one night. We were a bit concerned about its average rating, but everything turned out fine — very clean and tidy. The room’s furnishings were new and met the basic needs without being excessive. The same goes for the bathroom, though unfortunately, there was no shampoo! The bathroom is small, and the bed size is relatively limited for two people, but the bed was comfortable, and overall, everything was good. The accommodation is located a short distance from the sea but is very quiet and isolated. Fortunately, there is a large supermarket nearby, as well as a bus station. ##### farhad Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Ronald 19 Jul 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities For two people the bed was too small. No close-hangers Window frame was broken. The hours to check in was limited. ##### Ronald Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 10 Jul 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Basic but bearable Basic accommodation which is aimed for students. Room was very basic but adequately clean. Small double bed. Communal kitchen wasn't clean. All doors tended to slam closed which was noisy. On the upside, it's cheap and the shower worked fine ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Olha 15 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness It was a calm and clean place with basic amenities. Thank you. ##### Olha Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kwai 24 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Room comfort #### Value for the money Value for the money. Very convenient to the seashore and several bus routes to the city center and signposts. The only complaint would be the small size of the bed for 2 persons and very soft pillows (only 1 for each person) ##### Kwai Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Eustace 6 Aug 2025 The young receptionist insisted that I must show either a passport or a driving license in order to check in even though it is not mentioned in the confirmation email. I showed the confirmation email and text but they didn’t help. ##### Eustace Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Viv 11 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Slightly out of the centre of the city but great value. Tidy, clean and room more than adequate. Right next door to supermarket and cafe. Close to buses into the city. Lovely promenade by the water 5 mins from residence - great for a walk or run. The late check in is a bit if a hassle but probably reflects the late check out at 11am. However it woukd have been good to have had a safe place to store bags while we waited for rhe room to be available. The room also needs a rubbish bin (noted tgst previous reviews have said the same thing). Its great that uni accomodation is available in the summer when students away. Makes it affirdable for tourists especially during festivals. Overall, very happy with our stay ##### Viv Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mohammad 18 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good ##### Mohammad Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mo 20 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities H ##### Mo Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Edinburgh.h115987.Hotel-Information) > > [a&o Edinburgh City - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ao-Edinburgh-City.h1594761.Hotel-Information) > > [Wilde Aparthotels, Edinburgh, Grassmarket](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Wilde-Apartments-By-Staycity-Grassmarket.h39822833.Hotel-Information) > > [The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Caledonian-Edinburgh.h4198.Hotel-Information) > > [BrewDog DogHouse Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-DogHouse-Edinburgh.h72942233.Hotel-Information) > > [Fingal - A Luxury Floating Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Fingal.h38753319.Hotel-Information) > > [The Balmoral Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Balmoral-Hotel.h9339.Hotel-Information) > > [The Roseate Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Roseate-Edinburgh.h1381332.Hotel-Information) > > [Adelphi Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Adelphi-Hotel.h7734202.Hotel-Information) > > [Point A Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Point-A-Hotel-Edinburgh-Haymarket.h37166264.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex Grassmarket Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Apex-Grassmarket-Hotel.h62750.Hotel-Information) > > [CODE - The Court, Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-CoDE-Pod-Hostels-THE-CoURT.h36150915.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Edinburgh Murrayfield](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Leonardo-Edinburgh-Murrayfield.h579949.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-Edinburgh-Haymarket.h4035314.Hotel-Information) > > [Quartermile serviced apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Quartermile-Serviced-Apartments.h74811613.Hotel-Information) > > [Virgin Hotels Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Virgin-Hotels-Edinburgh.h74635444.Hotel-Information) > > [Britannia Hotel Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Britannia-Hotel-Edinburgh.h4533.Hotel-Information) > > [Heeton Concept Aparthotel Edinburgh Queen Street](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Native-Edinburgh.h24151306.Hotel-Information) > > [House of Gods Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-House-Of-Gods-Royal-Mile.h38206083.Hotel-Information) > > [Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Mount-Royal-Hotel-Edinburgh-By-The-Unlimited-Collection.h802180.Hotel-Information) > > [voco Edinburgh - Royal Terrace by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Voco-Edinburgh-Royal-Terrace.h4895.Hotel-Information) > > [100 Princes Street](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-100-Princes-Street.h74521691.Hotel-Information) > > [Beaverbank Place - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Beaverbank-Place-Campus-Residence.h6915060.Hotel-Information) > > [Staycity Aparthotels, Edinburgh, West End](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Staycity-Aparthotels-West-End.h4435260.Hotel-Information) > > [Malmaison Edinburgh City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Malmaison-Edinburgh-St-Andrews-Square.h38786208.Hotel-Information) > > [St Christopher's Edinburgh Old Town - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-St-Christophers-Edinburgh-Old-Town.h45754941.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel du Vin & Bistro Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Hotel-Du-Vin-Bistro-Edinburgh.h7728219.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh City West by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Edinburgh-City-West.h13364.Hotel-Information) > > [The Scotsman Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Scotsman-Hotel.h570820.Hotel-Information) ---
