10/10 Exceptional

Staff in check in/out were brilliant
Lisa, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Thumbs up for Edinburgh Uni.

Great food, secure and polite staff
Andrew, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great value option

Good, basic accommodation for a very reasonable price, within easy walking distance of the city centre. A quiet campus, with safe and secure parking included made it a fantastic deal. The rooms are basic, and a little tired, but clean and comfortable enough and the included breakfast is a nice bonus.

Live like a student for a night ?

Clean but basic and rather tired accommodation, shared bathroom, plentiful breakfast.

Overnight Stay

Breakfast great, bed comfy, no hot water at basin in the room but hot water in the shower room basins across the corridor. Nice stay for a stop over but I agree room walls very thin so noise can be an issue.
R, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good and affordable

Affordable stay. Incredibly good breakfast. The room was basic (but to be expected). No en-suite was definitely an issue and rooms, corridors, and shower rooms etc needed freshening up for sure. Not a bad stay in any way. Lovely grounds and good staff on hand to help.
Lewis, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great

Great! There was no room service but for me it didn’t really matter. It’s 25min walking from downtown and 20 if you take the bus
Javier, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Several choices for breakfast. Need to add bumpers to the doors. The self-closing doors slammed making lots of noise. Carpet needed to be steam cleaned.

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!
