This is located on Leith Walk, the main route from Edinburgh to its port at Leith. The Walk has shops, restaurants and bars along most of its length so is a popular area. There are frequent buses and a tram going to the city centre. It is student accommodation, the room is a bit small for two people but I travelled alone and it was fine for my needs. There is also a large kitchen, with one shared between each five rooms. It was clean and toileteries, tea, coffee etc are provided at reception.

The bedding (a quilt) was a bit too warm for June. My room was a long way from reception along complex corridors. The signage to find your way out could be better.

Location in Leith about 20 minute walk to Waverley Station/Royal Mile etc. Room size was great - studio.

Kitchen - oven was gross and microwave dirty. Spoke to reception and it was cleaned the next day - but to be honest it was still dirty, so didn't use. There was barely any crockery or cutlery, no kettle either, looked like cigarette burn hole in duvet cover. Housekeeping didn't knock to enter my room. On one day it was a female - I was dressed, so no problem, but the second occasion it was a male and I was half dressed - I was a little scared🙁. I know it's "student accommodation", but there should be minimum standards and it is still pricey for what you get. Left room cleaner than when I found it.

I was situated in a quite spot. I was an interesting journey to the room however it added character to the experience. I also loved the extended view from my room. I was able to see the beauty of the sun raising. The bed and linen was extremely comfortable.

My only issues was the drainage of flow in the shower. The murky water was building in the shower tray which is not nice to be standing in after you've cleansed yourself. The unplanned fire alarm was not the greatest at 4ish in the morning. Having participated as a big feature for the Edinburgh carnival, I just wanted to truly rest before my departure as I was really enjoying my stay.

Its an affordable alternative to a hotel. The room had everything one needs, if you intend to spend minimal time in the room. Free toiletries and tea were nice addition. 24/7 reception was great benefit. Coffee shops, restaurants, bus and a general store are very close by walking distance

The shower has two knobs that you turn. One for water temperature and one for water pressure. The second knob was impossibly hard to turn off/on with wet hands and using towel is recommended.

This place had everything you could need for budget travel. The ladies at the front desk were very friendly and always ready to help with anything. The room itself was small and had only a 120 cm bed, a small desk, and a bathroom. But the flat included a full kitchen with a large fridge and freezer, an oven, a microwave, and a TV. You only share it with others in the flat, not the entire building. You can also buy later check out (at 12.00) for 10£. The bottom floor had a laundry room, which cost about £5 for both the washer and dryer. There was also a hangout room on the bottom floor with sofas and a TV.

The bed is a little small for two adults

Fully equipped kitchen, warm room, bright room with openable window, Sainsbury's local is just right downstairs, 24/7 receptionist, close by bus and tram stops.

I came twice to borrow a hairdryer, but it was just never there. My room was at the very end of this maze-like building, so that was a bit annoying (not sure if the other rooms were full). The location is not bad, but a bit far to walk to the centre but too close for a single ride with the public transport (which costs £2), so maybe something to take into account before booking. The automatic bathroom light was terrible, it went off every 2 seconds of no movement.

The small room was well designed for life with room for everything and a beautiful view over the roofs to the sea beyond. I used the kitchen a lot and you can’t do big cooking there but it was super for simple things. The highlight of the place is the staff. Each and every one of them had a smile and a helpful attitude. Amazing!

The sensors for the lights in the long, dark hallways don’t turn on at appropriate times so you are walking through dark spaces with changing levels (rabos and stairs) blind.

Was in contact with Shrubhill before arrival regarding upper level studio and Josh was helpful in confirming details. Location was excellent, with supermarkets, cafes, pubs, tram and bus stops within a range of a minute to a few minutes walk away. Waverley Station about 20 minutes walk. Friendly staff (Scott super helpful when I asked for a fresh sheet on my arrival as the sheet on the bed had a mark/stain on it). Would definitely stay at Shrubhill again, if there was a slightly larger studio on an upper level (room was on 2nd floor) or if my first option of Brae House in the studio I normally stay in was not available.

Room was a studio and it felt a little small initially, but was OK in the end. Not a lot signage once on your floor to direct you to rooms. No kettle - which would have been better than a dishwasher (which I never used). TV reception was intermittent - lots of repositioning of aerial to get a good picture (every time you changed channel) Spent about 45 minutes when I arrived, wiping down surfaces (top of bed head was very dusty), fridge-freezer was turned off, so there was water in the fridge which was coming from the freezer compartment which had defrosted, so had to wipe that down. Shower room was small and shower compartment was very very compact and the water drained away really slowly.

Privacy and quiet were good. Kitchen facilities were good. Shower was very good but a little cramped. Room size was good but closet space was small. Nice bright windows but they did not open sufficiently to give good ventilation.

We never found out how to use the vent hood in the kitchen. An overhead fan would have been useful as ventilation was not great. More towels should be provided even if there is an added charge generally. Similarly, paper towels and toilet paper are a basic expectation. Having to buy so many little usuals' for a brief stay was annoying even although the Sainsbury's was quite close. t also promoted much wastage.

The property is located on a comercial and touristic area with really good restaurants and coffees around. The Edinburgh golden mile is 25 minutes walking from here but you have plenty of options of transportations. Good value for money.

I know is a property intended for students long stays rather than tourists but the showe is too small and the mattress wasnt comfortable. In fact it was a spring mattress and no pillow so you can feel the springs against your back.
