Considering how much of a rip off every other type of accommodation is in Edinburgh, this was a good deal. The breakfast was superb; better than most expensive hotels!

Loved staying here. The property is beautiful and quiet. Breakfast is amazing. Bring your own coffee or tea because there is access to a kettle. Bed was extremely comfy. Shared bathrooms seemed to always be available and they were clean.
Amy, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

It is very much a dorm situation, so be prepared to have ear plugs for noisy neighbors. Staff were great and accommodating.
Kyla, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Decent room with great breakfast
The premise provides a relatively economical accommodation option in Edinburgh. While it is not particularly close to the prime areas, there is good access to public transport, enabling us to explore the city easily. Room is a bit small but sufficient for a short stay. Breakfast is fantastic with loads of options.
3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall, good value option for accommodation in Edinburgh. Simple process for check-in. Great breakfast! Recommend to bring your own toiletries
Peter, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The accommodations seem to be popular with adults of varying ages who seem to be traveling independently in groups and for academic meetings, not typical tourists on holiday. The cafeteria for the included breakfast was mobbed but run efficiently. The view of Arthur’s seat from my modest room was remarkable.
