A clean student room
My partner and I spent three nights here for the festival, and it's a clean student accommodation. The good thing is the reception is 24 hours, and the room is clean. Also, it's a walking distance to the most sightseeing spots in Edinburgh. However, the twin bed is difficult for two adults even though I am small. The window is not easy to open, so it's a bit warm in summer. There is no soundproofing in the room, so that you can hear a lot of noise from people slamming the doors all night and in the morning. Finally, maybe we didn't notice any reminders to bring your own towels as they charge £3 per one. And they charge £10 for keeping a suitcase. Also, when we checked in, the late checkout with paying an additional fee was fine; however, while we applied the day before, they changed their policy again, saying they needed time to clean the room. The checkout time is 10 am, which is a little bit earlier. It's more like a better hostel, allowing you to have your own space. But please do not expect it to be a proper hotel.

The most uncomfortable mattress ive ever slept on, the shower didnt work properly, the windows hardly open so its suffocatingly boiling and fans dont do anything. Some of the kitchen items were in disgusting condition. Really glad my student accommodation wasnt like this, but staff are lovely and easy to rent things like hairdryers and towels. Great location.

Make sure its a cheap deal.
Bargain basement - good location, no parking, actually depressing if you were an actual student.. but if you have a small budget and its instead of sleeping rough then ok.

Friendly staff, unfortunate conditions. Unhygienic, smells of mildew, infested with silver fish and extremely hot and humid. Beds were uncomfortable and the bedding was stained. Would not recommend unless absolutely necessary.

Had to clean our own room bc it was filthy on day one, had to pay for everything including towels and hand soap and room was either freezing cold or way too hot. The bed also has hairs all over it and the towels (that we paid for) had chunks of other people’s hair in it. They also made us pay extra to store bags before check in - which just feels unnecessary since the room was expensive enough. Ended up leaving early because we couldn’t do it anymore. :/

You get what you pay for
You get what you pay for. Compared to the other places during pride, this is really cheap, but it is one of the most no frills places I've ever stayed at. Definitely the RyanAir of budget accommodation. Want to drop off your bags pre check in, no problem. That'll be £5 per bag. Want a towel, £3 please. Want a bed that's bigger than a 3/4 standard double or a mattress that's thicker than a folded towel? Should've gone somewhere else.

Exactly what I'd expect from campus accommodation. Simple, straightforward, clean enough. Friendly, helpful staff, everything worked. As they say, the rooms do get very warm, and there's not much ventilation, but I was exhausted every night, after a day on the Fringe, so I slept ok (in spite of the other occupants of my flat) being perpetual door-slammers. I don't know if I was just unlucky, but the kitchen (flat 18) had no kettle - everybody was boiling water in a large saucepan, which was all there was. That strikes me as a bit unsafe for pouring into a mug to make tea or coffee.

Dirty Rooms and Infested with Silverfish
We were very disappointed in this booking. My boyfriend and I stayed for 4 days during Edinburgh Fringe Festival and knew our options would be limited. We were expecting a bare bones small place to stay as it is student housing- not a hotel. Our room was not clean (blood on the comforter, clogged shower drain with mildew all over the bathroom, bird poop on the wall by the window) and infested with silverfish. The hotel had no hand soap or disposable towels. (You could rent bath towels which were semi-clean). The hallways were not clean and the ceiling was open in one of the stairwells without proper coverage/cleaning for the crumbling sheet rock. We were told through signage and service not to expect hotel quality service/facilities. However, we paid hotel prices ($150/night) and we’re nickeled and dimed for additional services, such as renting towels. The bed was fine (outside of the lack of clean comforter), the room was a decent size, and there was communal space to hang out in. Everyone was friendly, but not super helpful. I could expect this quality of cleanliness/barebones from a cheap hostel but when we’re paying over $100 a night I expect to get a clean room and hand soap.
