Rooms too hot

Good location, walking distance from city.

The warren-like corridors and our room was so dark. We had no daylight or view as a tree had grown up against our window. The lighting was that awful grey LED. The room felt pretty depressing. If I was a student turning up for the first time, presented with that as my room for the term, I’d cry. Also, disappointing the taxi from Waverley station refused to take us to the accommodation saying it was only a 10 minute walk away. We were knackered, had heavy bags and the walk was at least 30 minutes. Frustrating that the room provided a whole cupboard’s worth of hanging space for clothes, but no hangers.

The price was the only affordable one in the city. I liked that you could summon a cab at the touch of a button. It was good to be able to easily access Arthur’s Seat from the location.

In the social area, the sofa had what appeared to be bird excrement. The communal television did not work. The doors to each flat where heavy and slammed each time someone left or entered their flat. The view from the bedroom window was a wall. No complimentary tea or coffee or kettle in the room, we needed to go to the communal kitchen to make a drink and drink it their, as the hostel rules were no food or drink in bedrooms. The wardrobe hinge was broken and there was no hangers provided to hang your cloths on.

The location, it was very quiet during the night. The kitchen / dining area was spacious. The place had 24/7 staffing and the cleaners came each day to change the sheets. The laundry room was easy to use, which was a bonus, as we washed our clothes for the next week. At the reception, there was soap, tea, coffee and a vendor machine for snacks. The communal Kitchen was well equipped with 2 cookers, a microwave and 3 fridges for guest to use.

The rooms as expected were on the smaller side but were enough for our trip. We noticed the grouting in the shower seemed to have some mold but other than that it was pretty clean. Unfortunately in the bunkbed room, it seems the bunk bed is only assembled for the summer as it wasn't especially sturdy and the ladder was particularly precarious to climb. One of us had to hold onto it as the other climbed up/down as it wasn't mounted to the floor and wobbled a lot. The bed itself was very wobbly too, although the mattress was comfortable.

The accommodation was quiet and felt safe due to the 24hr staff at reception and having fob keys to get into the room. Location was great, only a 15 min walk from Princes street or short bus ride, with a great view of Arthur's seat on the way. Offerings of tea/coffee at reception were very appreciated and having the kitchen/living space was great to chill in, as it never super busy with other guests but ones we did run into were very friendly too.

Not much air flow in room. Stuffy and warm but the plug in air cons provided from the property were enough to help

Plenty of space in the room and bathroom

Central site. Friendly & accommodating staff. Nice kitchen area

The room was extremely hot. We were given a fan but it was extremely noisy so we couldn’t use it while we slept. The bed was very small for two adults.

The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, patient, efficient.

No toaster in kitchen, doors would bang as people came and went especially very early in the morning and rooms very stuffy as such covers were too hot.

Close to the Royal Mile and buses, great staff, clean rooms.

Information on how to access the room. It was a real warren!

The room was good basic accommodation as I expected. The bed was comfortable and the location excellent. Staff were super friendly and it was nice to be able to pick up complementary toiletries and tea and coffee at Reception.

Noisy at times when trying to sleep, can hear people talking and doors slamming but guess that's the nature of the place.

Great idea using rooms when students off. Great price and location. Very clean with everything you need.

Idéal for one night, easy location and check in and massive kitchen to use

Lacks in cleanliness. Also, the place itself, while being located pretty close to the royal mile etc., is built like a maze. To get to /out of my room I had to go through no fewer than 9 doors (plus an elevator).

Nice staff, pretty good location, comfortable room.

Location

Stayed in August 2025

Being in a room directly above the main entrance of the block made for a slightly noisy stay, but it was not a deal breaker!

Great location to see the city but not be right in the hustle and bustle of the busyness that is the fringe

The room size is very small and lack normal amenities with respect to the cost it charged to us
