“Not with the money”
+Staff was generally unhelpful and couldn’t answer. Basic questions about the facility. There was a community room that they did not tell us about so we were unable to use it. The room was uncomfortable and dirty, the bed mattress was extremely old and uncomfortable. The shower had mold, the drain was plugged up and the shelf in the bathroom was broken and unusable. The overhead sewer piping in the parking area near our car was leaking raw sewage from the bottom of the building. We wish we had spent a little more and stayed somewhere else.
+Slightly out of the centre of the city but great value. Tidy, clean and room more than adequate. Right next door to supermarket and cafe. Close to buses into the city. Lovely promenade by the water 5 mins from residence - great for a walk or run. The late check in is a bit if a hassle but probably reflects the late check out at 11am. However it woukd have been good to have had a safe place to store bags while we waited for rhe room to be available. The room also needs a rubbish bin (noted tgst previous reviews have said the same thing). Its great that uni accomodation is available in the summer when students away. Makes it affirdable for tourists especially during festivals. Overall, very happy with our stay
+We stayed here for one night. We were a bit concerned about its average rating, but everything turned out fine , very clean and tidy. The room’s furnishings were new and met the basic needs without being excessive. The same goes for the bathroom, though unfortunately, there was no shampoo! The bathroom is small, and the bed size is relatively limited for two people, but the bed was comfortable, and overall, everything was good. The accommodation is located a short distance from the sea but is very quiet and isolated. Fortunately, there is a large supermarket nearby, as well as a bus station.
“Good Find”
+Basic, spotless accommodation with Morrison next to you for cheap parking and any provisions. Stayed for a concert during Edinburghs busy time (when it’s it not) however prices for hotels are normally hiked up! But we managed to get it at a decent rate.

+Excelente opción para hospedarse, en Morrisons puede comprarse alimentos, parada de camión muy cerca que lleva directo al centro de la ciudad. Habitación y baño limpio.
+Bare-bones and basic but clean and afforable. The access to a shared kitchen is great. The wifi is strong, the rooms are exactly what you would expect from a dorm. The staff were kind and friendly. Good access to the buses and to the grocery store nearby.
+The young receptionist insisted that I must show either a passport or a driving license in order to check in even though it is not mentioned in the confirmation email. I showed the confirmation email and text but they didn’t help.
+It was an excellent stay. If I ll be visiting again then I ll definitely stay here again. Quite clean and well maintained. Staff is super friendly. The best part? The bus stand is exactly outside the residence which takes you straight to city center.
“Enkel standard, langt fra sentrum.”
+Studenthjem med enkel standard, langt fra sentrum. resepsjonisten gjorde et poeng av at ingen fikk sjekke inn før kl. 15 uansett om rommene var klare eller ikke. Veldig lite bad og smal seng trekker ned. Uaktuelt å bruke igjen.
+This was fine for a night. it is student accommodation and very reasonable. The staff was friendly and helpful. Amenities are soewhat. basic, but what would you expect? despite that, we were very happy with it. The bed was a bit small for 2 people (we are used to a bigger bed) but it wasnt disastrous. worst was perhaps that it was against the wall so i had to climb in from the bottom! The kitchen was clean, and we were able to use it for our breakfast - everything worked fine. Tip for others: you CAN park in the Morrison's car park. Make sure you drive up to the top level, and you can unload right in front of the accommodation's back door. You can park there overnight, if you access the app RingGo, id 682383, and pay for it. Costs around £4. Bus connection to town centre is also fine. 30 mins or so, busses quite frequent.
