If you're here for the Fringe this location is perfect. If you're looking for just a basic, no frills amenities this is the place to be. Seeing as you'll be out at shows, there's no need for anything more. The bedding is notttt going to be a high thread count for their sheets and pillows...but you're not here for that. The kitchen and common space that you only share with a few other rooms, is perfect and was kept clean. However, if you are here for the Fringe....bring a white noise machine to help reduce the street noise...it will not stop until 4 am. Which isn't something you can hold against this place, the location is great and the noise is a compromise you make. The staff here, tried to accommodate my request to move, but ultimately didn't work out. They are the best, and I saw them be so patient with other guests where there was a language barrier.

Very central in Old Town and surprisingly quiet. Apartment spacious and kitted out reasonably well. Could have been cleaner - little things like washing up racks etc and missing sink plugs. There was a smell of mould. Staff were pleasant and helpful.

Dream's come true.
I have been reading of the Fringe for 30 years, this year I joined a' Rock Choir' and performed there,it was amazing, everything I imagined, I was so pleased with the central position for the accommodation, it was so easy to access all of the entertainment. All of the staff at reception were happy and helpful, I would recommend it to anyone, and I hope to be with you next year.

Disappointing
We booked for a trip to the fringe but sadly this place was disappointing, even for a student flat. Positives were the location and proximity to city events as well as the helpfulness of staff however several things in the studio flat we booked were broken, there was nothing more than warm water for the duration of our stay and the bed was terribly uncomfortable. Having not long graduated, I wasn’t expecting the Ritz but it didn’t feel like great value for money when being let out to the public and think I might pay that bit extra next time

Good value in a great location
Good value accommodation right in the heart of the Fringe. My room had a private kitchen, ideal for breakfast and snacks. On the downside, the floor was not too clean, and the pillows were very thin, but overall l was pleased with my choice, and despite warnings to the contrary, it was not noisy at all!
