Dishonest and disgusting customer service.

The accommodation was ok but the service via Hotel.Com was disgusting and frankly detracted from the whole Edinburgh and York trip

Property was fine as a place to rest your head. Room was clean when I arrived and staff made sure we were comfortable with towels, toiletries etc. It was only a short walk to the old town which was very convenient as were there during Fringe and for Oasis.

Fit for purpose

Pleasant, welcoming and fit for purpose. Condition of communal area tatty and bathroom could be cleaner. Staff friendly and helpful. Good location and great to have Sainsburys and bus stop near by. Superb for park and Arthur's seat, access to Royal Mile and train station. All in all - I would stay again. Price reflects accomodation and clearly states it is not a hotel. I enjoyed my stay in Edinburgh.

its good in general but if there are more dining places in the surrounding it will be much better. btw, the room is too hot so it will be good if a fan could be provided.

Our stay was good. Staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and all necessities were provided. The area is great. Super walkable and easy access to public transport. One complaint was that it was quite hot in our room. However the front desk did what they could, providing us with a fan.

Affordable, comfortable for 1, great location

Be aware of what you are booking: these are student residences and designed for single occupancy. You get adequate space, with a window, and there are hotels in Edinburgh which will charge noticeably less for rooms with neither of those. You also get use of a shared kitchen and seating area. You don't get a TV in your room, nor a kettle; also no clothes hangers and no aircon. The bedlinen and towels were pristine, the surfaces and bathroom facilities were properly clean, but the floor could have stood 5 minutes' more cleaning. If dust and a stray hair bother you, maybe pay double and go for a hotel. Location is perfect for city visitors, especially for the Old Town: 5 minutes' walk to Holyrood Palace, 5 more to the foot of Arthur's Seat. The interior soundproofing seemed OK (or all my neighbours were mice) but there is traffic noise from outside.
