Basic, spotless accommodation with Morrison next to you for cheap parking and any provisions. Stayed for a concert during Edinburghs busy time (when it’s it not) however prices for hotels are normally hiked up! But we managed to get it at a decent rate.

Excelente opción para hospedarse, en Morrisons puede comprarse alimentos, parada de camión muy cerca que lleva directo al centro de la ciudad. Habitación y baño limpio.

Bare-bones and basic but clean and afforable. The access to a shared kitchen is great. The wifi is strong, the rooms are exactly what you would expect from a dorm. The staff were kind and friendly. Good access to the buses and to the grocery store nearby.

It was an excellent stay. If I ll be visiting again then I ll definitely stay here again. Quite clean and well maintained. Staff is super friendly. The best part? The bus stand is exactly outside the residence which takes you straight to city center.

I suggest few tea bags, cpffee sachets/capsules should be kept in the kitchen area.

Actually a very nice stay. The room was comfortable and we had access to a shared kitchen and common room. It was better than we were expecting. The staff were friendly and helpful. It is next to a Morrisons supermarket with a good cafe (Scottish breakfast is very nice). The bus stop outside gets you into the city centre in around 20 mins. It was exceptional value during the fringe!

Slightly out of the centre of the city but great value. Tidy, clean and room more than adequate. Right next door to supermarket and cafe. Close to buses into the city. Lovely promenade by the water 5 mins from residence - great for a walk or run. The late check in is a bit if a hassle but probably reflects the late check out at 11am. However it woukd have been good to have had a safe place to store bags while we waited for rhe room to be available. The room also needs a rubbish bin (noted tgst previous reviews have said the same thing). Its great that uni accomodation is available in the summer when students away. Makes it affirdable for tourists especially during festivals. Overall, very happy with our stay

We stayed here for one night. We were a bit concerned about its average rating, but everything turned out fine — very clean and tidy. The room’s furnishings were new and met the basic needs without being excessive. The same goes for the bathroom, though unfortunately, there was no shampoo! The bathroom is small, and the bed size is relatively limited for two people, but the bed was comfortable, and overall, everything was good. The accommodation is located a short distance from the sea but is very quiet and isolated. Fortunately, there is a large supermarket nearby, as well as a bus station.

This was fine for a night. it is student accommodation and very reasonable. The staff was friendly and helpful. Amenities are soewhat. basic, but what would you expect? despite that, we were very happy with it. The bed was a bit small for 2 people (we are used to a bigger bed) but it wasnt disastrous. worst was perhaps that it was against the wall so i had to climb in from the bottom! The kitchen was clean, and we were able to use it for our breakfast - everything worked fine. Tip for others: you CAN park in the Morrison's car park. Make sure you drive up to the top level, and you can unload right in front of the accommodation's back door. You can park there overnight, if you access the app RingGo, id 682383, and pay for it. Costs around £4. Bus connection to town centre is also fine. 30 mins or so, busses quite frequent.

This property is clean and provides the basics. It is not a hotel but is a college residence used in the summer for others to stay. The residence has several bus stops just a few steps out the door that will take you to the town centre and airport and numerous other areas. There is also a grocery store close by. The beds are small so if it says two can stay … it would be difficult for two people to sleep in the one bed.

Welcoming staff and great value for money. Easy regular transport links to city centre. No complaints based on the price oft he stays.

Un peu loin de la ville, mais propre et tranquille, facile d'accès en autobus. Chambre et cuisinette fonctionnelles. Nous avons dû aller acheter notre papier de toilette. Il n'y en avait pas dans la chambre et les personnes à la réception négligeaient de nous en apporter. De plus, personne n'était en mesure de nous expliquer le fonctionnement des buanderies, les informations qu'on noua a donné étaient fausses.

Jessica • Couple Trip

Overall, good value for money. One thing that might help future guests is to not keep a mop in the bathroom, as it left a terrible odor, and the shower curtain didn't touch the floor so water got everywhere when we showered. With transportation right outside the building, it only took 20 minutes to reach the city and there was a kitchen with a convenient Morrison's 4 minutes walking distance away. Would stay again despite the small issues as stated.

Kwai • Couple Trip

Value for the money. Very convenient to the seashore and several bus routes to the city center and signposts. The only complaint would be the small size of the bed for 2 persons and very soft pillows (only 1 for each person)
