Such a handy location, with bus and tram options to move about easily.

Not a very comfortable facility for a travelling family. That said, we appreciate the staff’s kindness to help us during the stay.
Wenjing, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Richard, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great find, good availability, easy and quick check in and check out (24-hour reception), very friendly staff, great value for money.
Zheng Hong, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Inaki, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location near a stop on the Tram.
Pierre, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Fernanda, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Did the job. Edinburgh is ridiculously expensive in summer so it's great to have this option. Clean, simple, comfortable.
Josh, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Ensuite was spotless. Everything else matched descriptions. Lovely people at reception. Good for short trips.
Levent, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The bed it’s smaller for two people
Carlos, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff were nice but the carpet in the room was very dirty and you could feel the springs in the mattress.
Connie, 5-night trip

4/10 Fair

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!
Michelle, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent service considering it is cheap and cheerful. Great location!
Hardeep, 2-night trip

Decent location, friendly staff, everything you’d expect from student accommodation.
John, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

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.
Annelise, 4-night trip

I like to stay in Leith and at Destiny's because I feel safe and free to go everywhere in Edinburgh
