Increíble staff

The room was very clean and thought it was next to the kitchen and it was very noisy we liked it. However, the best was the fantastic, friendly and amazing staff.always there was someone at the reception willing to assist and be useful. Incredible people,congratulations

Handy location

Conveniently located for the City Centre. Good value for Edinburgh. Note: The 2-bed rooms have bunk beds. You will need to bring id evidence of the person who made the booking.

Hi

Good for people who aren't fussy. It's a bed to sleep in and the room was clean. My only complaint was how warm the room was.

Basic, clean, good
Emori, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Basic facilities, fairly clean, staff were very friendly and helpful. The doors are quite noisy if you let them slam shut (which is easy to do). The location is quite convenient and fairly close to the city centre.
Veronika, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good

Unconventional location for a holiday as techically as its not a hotel but out of season uni dormitory rooms, good value for your money considering the London style prices of Edinburgh today, and with buses nearby going into Edinburgh within 10 or 15 minutes in a great location
Philip, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A good stay at the Destiny Student accomodation. Check in was easy, most of it done before arrival. Room was nice, clean, basic but good. Only 15 minutes walk from train station, a few minutes from Hollyrood and the Scottish parliament builds. Would use this again, different from a 5 star hotel but gives you more money to spend on activities
Alan, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

It was ok and price was too high for 2star accommodation. Better that bunk beds around the city, price to high, was priced to 75 GBP per night for hostel accommodation
Karthik, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Even with the lower temperatures in the city, the room was so warm. We slept with the window open but it barely offered relief. There were signs up that they had fans, but when we asked they said they were all misplaced. It was quite uncomfortable to be in the room. Additionally, the shower and the sink drains were quite blocked and didn’t drain well. The location was good, and it didn’t take too long to walk to Waverly train station.
Kacy, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Too expensive for what it is.

Very basic - not even soap provided. No air con. But there was a roof and a bed - but this is way too expensive considering that’s all it is, especially as the bed element had a very thin mattress. Noisy with student tourist groups too, thin walls and echoey corridors.
3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Affordable, comfortable for 1, great location

Be aware of what you are booking: these are student residences and designed for single occupancy. You get adequate space, with a window, and there are hotels in Edinburgh which will charge noticeably less for rooms with neither of those. You also get use of a shared kitchen and seating area. You don't get a TV in your room, nor a kettle; also no clothes hangers and no aircon. The bedlinen and towels were pristine, the surfaces and bathroom facilities were properly clean, but the floor could have stood 5 minutes' more cleaning. If dust and a stray hair bother you, maybe pay double and go for a hotel. Location is perfect for city visitors, especially for the Old Town: 5 minutes' walk to Holyrood Palace, 5 more to the foot of Arthur's Seat. The interior soundproofing seemed OK (or all my neighbours were mice) but there is traffic noise from outside.
