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 Jul 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities Ok basic Clean easy access ##### Anthonia Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jodie Jul 16, 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 Aug 17, 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 Jul 8, 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 Aug 14, 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 #### Frank Jul 27, 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 ### 8/10 Good #### Jessica Jul 28, 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 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jane Aug 8, 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 Aug 6, 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 Aug 7, 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 Aug 10, 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 ### 6/10 Okay #### Shamini Jul 17, 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 #### Giulia Aug 16, 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 ### 8/10 Good #### farhad Aug 11, 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 Jul 19, 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 Jul 10, 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jul 21, 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 ### 6/10 Okay #### Olha Jul 15, 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 #### Viv Aug 11, 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 ### 4/10 Poor #### Eustace Aug 6, 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 #### Kwai Jul 24, 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mohammad Jul 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good ##### Mohammad Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mo Aug 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities H ##### Mo Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Hotel-Spa.h15554.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Edinburgh Carlton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Hilton-Edinburgh-Carlton.h1648.Hotel-Information) > > [Motel One Edinburgh - Royal](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Motel-One-Edinburgh-Royal.h5333965.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex Waterloo Place Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Apex-Waterloo-Place-Hotel.h2278092.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Apex-City-Of-Edinburgh-Hotel.h800968.Hotel-Information) > > [The Balmoral Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Balmoral-Hotel.h9339.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Edinburgh-Marriott-Hotel.h873944.Hotel-Information) > > [Point A Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Point-A-Hotel-Edinburgh-Haymarket.h37166264.Hotel-Information) > > [Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Aparthotel-Adagio-Edinburgh-Royal-Mile.h16281979.Hotel-Information) > > [Old Town Chambers, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Cheval-Old-Town-Chambers.h6175181.Hotel-Information) > > [Ten Hill Place](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ten-Hill-Place.h1535542.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel.h4270.Hotel-Information) > > [Market Street Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Market-Street-Hotel.h29507352.Hotel-Information) > > [The Scotsman Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Scotsman-Hotel.h570820.Hotel-Information) > > [Wilde Aparthotels, Edinburgh, Grassmarket](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Wilde-Apartments-By-Staycity-Grassmarket.h39822833.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Edinburgh The George by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-InterContinental-Edinburgh-The-George.h20436.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Styles Edinburgh Centre St Andrew Square](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ibis-Styles-Edinburgh-Centre-St-Andrew-Square.h7841147.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ibis-Edinburgh-Centre-South-Bridge-Royal-Mile.h6793484.Hotel-Information) > > [Eden Locke](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Eden-Locke.h17859332.Hotel-Information) > > [The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Caledonian-Edinburgh.h4198.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Edinburgh Centre Royal Mile – Hunter Square](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ibis-Edinburgh-Centre-Royal-Mile-Hunter-Square.h200875.Hotel-Information) > > [Holyrood Aparthotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holyrood-Aparthotel.h561406.Hotel-Information) > > [Fraser Suites Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Fraser-Suites-Edinburgh.h2278102.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Edinburgh Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Novotel-Edinburgh-Centre.h982662.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex Grassmarket Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Apex-Grassmarket-Hotel.h62750.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-Edinburgh-Haymarket.h4035314.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express - Edinburgh City Centre by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Edinburgh-City-Centre.h1088215.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Collection Hotel, Royal Mile Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Radisson-Collection-Hotel.h2775480.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Charlotte Square by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Kimpton-Charlotte-Square-Hotel.h571654.Hotel-Information)
