A good location for the Fringe Festival - easy to walk to many of the venues and near a bus route for further destinations. Lovely helpful and knowledgeable staff. A good shower in the bathroom and huge fluffy towels.

Nada 8.0

The apartment was for students and consisted of a wide corridor with doors and each door had a lock leading to a room. At the end of the corridor was a sitting room with a kitchen with a large refrigerator, a stove and an oven. One of the things that made up the room was a glass window overlooking a beautiful garden. The apartment is located next to the University of Edinburgh.

Ever 9.0

The student residency worked as hotel for our trip to Edinburgh. We were 7 people all together and an apartment with 4 rooms worked well for us. The kitchen was very useful to save money avoiding paying for breakfast. The facilities are amazing in terms of noise cancelling.
