Very bad stay
This is a really bad place to stay even as per the standard of a student accommodation. The rooms are small with very dirty cushions and duvet. There is no sound proofing at all in the room. You can hear everyone and even traffic noise. The lift was not working for my floor so had to carry my luggage from stairs. The locking systems on the door is really bad and it takes multiple attempts to lock the door. Not worth the price at all. Will never stay again in any of the chains which belong to this company.

You get what you pay for. The hallways and rooms were boiling hot, so the window had to be open all the time to cool down. The road it’s on can be quite noisy so that will then wake you up. They let you borrow a fan for £20 but you’d just be moving hot air around. The bed was rock hard, gave me back pain. Feel sorry for the students who actually have to live here.

Cheap but uncomfortable.
Cheap. However bed was very uncomfortable - had to lay on folded duvet for comfort. Room was very hot yet the road outside was very noisy into the early hours of the morning so window open not an option. Thankfully able to grab a fan from reception. Personally wouldn’t stay again but understand many on a budget would accept this for a cheap night in Edinburgh.
