Good location in Leith, 20 minutes walk from St James quarter and Princes St. Great to have access to kitchen and lounges.

- Bed is narrower than a normal double. Pay attention to the dimensions given. After booking they'll tell you its a 3/4 bed. Great for one, or two smaller adults. - Laundry requires special card which you then have to load with money - allow time for this, it takes longer than tapping a card or putting money in the box Nevertheless, excellent value for Edinburgh in summer.

The accommodation was easy to find, the room was decent in size for a student dorm and it was cleaner than the dorm room I moved in while living in London and that says a lot. There are supermarkets close, which is convenient and it is within 15-20 walking distance from the stations.

The sound isolation is not great, but if you lived in a dorm before or a noisy building, it's fine. We weren't overly happy with the 5£ per bag fee to leave our things there before we checked in but it is comparable to the station fees.

Simple, straightforward accomodation, fine for our 4-night stay. The room itself was clean and everything was usable. Was a super easy base location from which to visit the Fringe; you're a few seconds away from bus and tram stops into the town, and it's entirely walkable without them. There didn't seem to be any major problems with the temperature in the room, although fans (and all toiletries) were available at the front check-in desk. Kitchen area was clean if a little chilly.

It's student accommodation, so it's fundamentally a little basic. The walls are thin and the bed is rather compact for two people, but neither was a significant issue during our stay. The fusebox in the hallway did cut out on one night, but this only affected wall chargers rather than room lighting, and front desk were happy to immediately reset the fusebox.

I don’t know how I should start…the staff is so incredibly supportive and friendly. The location is amazing, close to the centre. Beds are so comfortable, everything was clean. I didn’t even expect this property to be that good, to be honest! I’m just sad I was there for just a couple of days, if I could I’d have stayed even longer. I’m looking forward to visiting you again, best regards to the whole staff!! Hannah xoxo!

There was nothing!

We booked a bigger room and didn't regret it. It was spacious, with a good bathroom, a kitchenette, a vacuum cleaner, a microwave, a kettle, an oven and utensils. The bed was comfortable and the space was sufficient for my husband and me (we are not very large though). Using earplugs is recommended because the seagulls can be quite talkative. We slept well, but with earplugs. The staff were great. We checked in very fast and were given the key, some toiletries, tea/coffee and a towel per person. Bear in mind that there is no soap in the room, so either use the body wash given or bring your own soap. There is toilet paper, however. The check out was also very efficient and fast. We used the laundry which is easy to use: download the app, put some money on it (we used about 14 pounds for 3 loads + 2 dryers). The app tells you how long it takes and informs you when the cycle is done. Overall, a great value for money, so we will stay again.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The accommodation was good value and the location was great.

The WiFi didn't work and the bed was stripped and the clean linen left on the floor in the communal hallway. Plus was, that the receptionist was helpful and sympathetic and gave me a complementary bottle of water.

It’s located close to the city centre, has everything you’d need nearby - restaurants, cafes, grocery stores, the apartment had its own kitchen - living room, shared with another couple of units. Its own bathroom is rare at this price point. The kitchen had all you’d need to do your own cooking. The staff were nice and accommodating.

The double bed would be considered small by some people. It was fine for us. The shared kitchen was used to cook some extremely spicy Asian food and it smelled for the whole day, making it unusable for the rest of us. (Just a few minutes there would make your clothes smell) A few more hooks on the wall or a drying rack would be nice - there’s no place to hang two bath towels, not to mention clothes wet from the rain.

Staff were there 24 hrs so it was very convenient if we needed any assistance. Not a bad location if you don't mind taking a bus into the centre of town. They also offered basics in the common space like body wash and tea etc. We felt quite safe staying there. Its an especially good option if you are a student with a small budget or are just passing through.

The kettle in the shared kitchen was missing for a day. Not the fault of the staff but maybe some signs about taking stuff from the kitchen would be a good idea. Also the room got pretty hot so if you're staying in summer ask for a fan. Occasionally our key card was quite fiddly to get into the room.

I stayed in very similar accommodation when I was a student and so knew what to expect. I was just there for one night and so it was handy to have access to a kitchen so that I could use the fridge for things like milk for coffee and the bed was pretty comfy which was all I needed really.

My only criticism would be that the walls are thin (like a lot of student accommodation) and so sound passes from room to room easily (I could hear snoring, someone plugging in a charger etc). I brought my own earplugs in anticipation of this kind of thing, but they also had some available at reception.

Good to stay in for a short trip. It has all the facilities you need to stay for a few nights. The area is very close to the tram and bus that are only a couple of stops away from the main city centre, but you can also walk it (20-30mins) if you wanted. The room is cosy, the bed was not as bad as I have read from other reviews and fits two people quite comfortably. The bathroom is a tight spot but gets the job done. I enjoyed using the common areas for heating up food in the microwave, having a fridge to store drinks or food in, a kettle for complimentary tea/coffee from the main reception, etc…The staff were very friendly and helpful and they offer luggage storage, fans and extra towels if needed.

The bathroom doesn’t have a bath mat so the floor gets soaked after you shower. Would appreciate a floor mat in there to prevent that!
