Good enough
They are student digs, so naturally there's not much room, but there's enough for what you need. There are enough facilities on site, and it's central enough to be perfect for Fringe.
Hot water went out on Saturday morning and it took until Tuesday to get fixed - but fixed it was. Plenty good enough for udget accommdation.
Fantastic friendly, helpful service from everyone at the front desk. If I needed anything they were there to help with a smile. Housekeepers kept everything spotless clean. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Kiln housing.
We didn’t have a top sheet or blanket when we arrived. The space was fine, a bit spartan but enough equipment for two. Closer to many of the events at the festival. Could use a bit of art on the walls. Drainage in the shower was poor. Courtyard was a bit noisy especially on a weekend night, if you know why fat I mean.
Staff was great, friendly and helpful. I’d go there again but I’m not sure my partner would.
Staff were very helpful and friendly, the student apartments are very basic but functional. No bells and whistles just somewhere to put your head down for the night nothing more nothing less.

The staff is very good, no complaints there. The rooms are designed for student housing so the beds are small, uncomfortable, the chairs are uncomfortable, the window is terrible as a result the rooms get stuffy and hot. (Probably not a concern most of the year) But it is student housing at a cheap cost so what does one expect really. The location is great.
We had a wonderful stay! Very close to Old town and Arthur’s seat! The staff were all very friendly. Overall a great stay!

Very good location and great staff. The room (2 rm apartment) was well equipped, very reasonably priced and functional. Mattress could do with a replacement in one of the rooms. Great for visiting the Fringe or Tattoo
