Traveller reviews

“Decent Stay”
04 Aug 2025
Fast check-in and check-out, location is good, welcoming staff, room size was excellent, and nice surroundings.

“Great place to stay, large rooms, free parking and super friendly staff.”
02 Aug 2025
We had a top floor room that had opening windows, including the skylights in the ceiling. The room was spacious and had two comfortable chairs and a table as well as a king size bed. There was free parking and a lovely breakfast selection. Staff were great and always helpful.

“An accommodation amongst the green”
02 Aug 2025
It is located in the university accommodation compound surrounded by green mature trees and far from the noise. A short walk to the bus station if you didn't drive and free private parking if you do, which is RARE in Edinburgh (this was the selling point for us). About half an hour easy bus ride to Town Center. There is a restaurant that serves good food, drink and music, the same restaurant serves breakfast. Elevator service, helpful staff and the room is the size of a regular home bedroom. Toilet was clean and with good water pressure. Good shower ammenities too. Coffee machine, kettle, tea, hot chocolate and cookies were provided. Decent bed and pillows.

“Very good”
31 Jul 2025
The room is beautiful, and so is the bathroom. The location in the middle of the university campus was something very special.
