Not a very comfortable facility for a travelling family. That said, we appreciate the staff’s kindness to help us during the stay.

Good modern, and clean, accommodation very walkable from Edinburgh Waverley station. As student accommodation it does not have same luxuries as a hotel; however the place more than met my needs and I would definitely stay here again.

This is a student housing building open to the public for limited times in the year. It is not a hotel and although it provides a lot of space and privacy for the price (~£100) a night the amenities are bare minimum, cleanliness could be a lot better. Overall it ok if you are not fuzzy about staying in a from but pricey.

The hotel is near everything you need: market, restaurant, tram station, pubs… although the bed is so small and they don’t keep your luggage overnight, what it was a problem to us.
People are so friendly and they helped us all the time.

Did the job. Edinburgh is ridiculously expensive in summer so it's great to have this option. Clean, simple, comfortable.

The staff were nice but the carpet in the room was very dirty and you could feel the springs in the mattress.

The room wasn’t cleaned very well and you can hear everyone around you. The walls are paper thin, but luckily other visitors were as mindful as they could be. Some staff are a little rude. Beds are very firm, but I prefer firm beds so it worked for me. Apart from that, it’s in an amazing area. The location by far is the best part of this place. Really close to the tram and there are a ton of cafes and pubs nearby!

Clean enough
No frills roof over your head. Room was clean enough. Laundry broke halfway through so had to air-dry clothing in the room, a few items were ruined. No AC in August but we were provided a fan.
