Clean room, good breakfast

Pros: Room and shared shower/toilet are very clean. Beddings are new and comfortable. Delicious English breakfast with good range of selections. Welcoming and effective reception service. Cons: There's basically no noise cancelling facility - you can hear people coming back to their rooms in the middle of the night; slam their doors (unconsciously I believe); talking inside their rooms (if you live next door). Bringing your own earplugs would be helpful.

We stayed here during the Fringe Festival as there were limited accommodations. Check-in was smooth, it has laundry facilities, which was nice, but there was quite a lot of dirt and dust throughout the accommodation (floors, surfaces). I doubt I would stay again.

Much better than I expected for the price, which was a real bargain for Edinburgh in August. And an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet included! Would definitely use again.

Typical student dorm room accommodations. Great breakfast buffet with loads of options. Quite loud in the halls from other visitors. Overall good stay. Front desk staff were super helpful and kind.

They mentioned there wasn’t parking although there is however ina first in first served basis. I unfortunately had precooked alternate parking for £20+. Disappointed when was told there were spaces available.

Overnight Stay

Breakfast great, bed comfy, no hot water at basin in the room but hot water in the shower room basins across the corridor. Nice stay for a stop over but I agree room walls very thin so noise can be an issue.

Good and affordable

Affordable stay. Incredibly good breakfast. The room was basic (but to be expected). No en-suite was definitely an issue and rooms, corridors, and shower rooms etc needed freshening up for sure. Not a bad stay in any way. Lovely grounds and good staff on hand to help.

Great value option

Good, basic accommodation for a very reasonable price, within easy walking distance of the city centre. A quiet campus, with safe and secure parking included made it a fantastic deal. The rooms are basic, and a little tired, but clean and comfortable enough and the included breakfast is a nice bonus.
