    The location was convenient for everything that I wanted to do in Edinburgh. I could walk to many places for eating and sightseeing, etc. and if required, buses were on hand. The room met my expectations, although the shower/ bathroom was pretty small.

    - Beds, they are small and the matress is not very nice to sleep in - No housekeeping or change of towels (I think you can get it for a fee)

    - Location works great, near buses stops and 20 min walk to city centre. - Very welcoming and nice staff - Facilities are great: laundry room, kitchen, playroom - Private room with own toilet. Very convenient and good value for money. Still, very small. We were 2 people and it worked well for 3 days but for more than that I think it can get very unconfortable.

    - The bathroom drain was clogged in our room - Comfort of the bed was so-so - Dishes weren't washed in the kitchen so one of the sink was full - the laundry system could be better as you have to download an app and create an account (coin laundry system is less complicated)

    My stay was overall good, and was definitely worth the price; but, the bathroom was a bit too small to be comfortable. I'm a pretty petite person and barely had room to dry off after showering. The water temperature was also very inconsistent, although manageable.

    The environment was so cozy and lovely, it was really fun and charming to stay in a school dorm. I felt very safe. The staff were very kind and helpful - I needed help a couple of times and my issues were resolved quickly and with kindness. I especially appreciated having a kitchen in the room, and the bedroom with two desks was a good size.

    The free luggage drop off area is in an open area with cctv. This does not seem secure to me so I ended up paying for secure luggage storage elsewhere. I am sure nothing goes missing but did not feel that an open unmonitored area was a good place to leave my things.

    Property was clean, well priced and well located. There are lifts to the rooms. The room was basic and is essentially a student dorm room with ensuite. I was there to spend time at The Fringe so it was a great base for my time there. I did not use any of the kitchen or other facilities. I had no issues with my stay.

    The shower room is too small, even a regular size person feel uncomfortable. There’re stairs when going to the residence building, however luggage can’t use the lift unless you are handicapped people.

    It’s a student lounge so basically everything is designed for students, can’t ask for a commercial hotel. It’s just a good student lounge with the price accordingly.

    Room was on the ground floor, facing the courtyard. Had one of the benches right outside my window. Didn't appreciate people sitting there talking loudly til after 4am each morning.

    Convenient location. Good sized bathroom, with shower door rather than a shower curtain.

    No real issues for myself but possibly may be a bit tight for a couple. Shower was a bit small but so long as you avoid practicing aerobics in it, it is fine

    Very secure, whole campus is only accessible by keycard. Locale was great for the Fringe, 10min walk from George Square or Pleasance

    Constant banging of fire doors. I was also next to one for the corridor so each person would go through 3 doors which banged to exit. They could put soft close hinges on the doors ! Also, welcome was fill in a form and bank card please. No explanation about security gate, facilities or general welcome which is a shame as Edinburgh is famous for its hospitality and warmth.

    Location is excellent. Very secure. Room adequate. Reasonable price considering the festival was on.

    On the first night, there was advance notice that there wouldn't be running water for two hours in the evening, but this issue was resolved very quickly when speaking to the team afterwards. The mattress isn't comfy as you can feel the springs digging in.

    The location was great for the festival, it was nice to have a private en-suite room. The view of Arthur's seat from the room was incredible, and although people have complained here about the noise levels and loud slamming doors, I didn't notice this at all. It was quiet every night during the festival. The staff were super friendly and they have areas in reception area where you can chill. The shared kitchen area is also handy if you don't want to keep eating out! It was very easy to walk to the key locations in the city and all areas need to be accessed with your room card, so it felt very secure.
