Nice place to stay. Nice surroundings, especially the nearby park with Arthur's seat. Also liked that there's a swimming pool and gym right next to the hotel. Really nice staff too. Facilities ok. Breakfast was also quite nice.

Quite expensive (though Edinburgh is). For this price usually furniture in rooms in better condition and own bathrooms. Were ok though. Lots of people in the hotel so at peak times Breakfast facilities really full and also there can be a long que for check-in. Also gym and swimming pool not included.

"Would not stay here again, could not get any sleep."

1.0

Beautiful outside areas.

The rooms are not soundproof at all and we could hear doors closing and people rolling their luggage down the hall all night. Then at 7am in the morning someone was playing music in the hall and the housekeeper knocked on our door around 9am to see if we had checked out yet- we were trying to get some sleep! And check out it at 10:30am and not 12pm like the booking.com listing stated. We were exhausted. I had additional nights booked and I tried to cancel but it was too late. They gave us a new room for the next night but there was quite a bit of mold in the shower. Exhausting.

Great value and well-run operation. Very easy to get to the city center with multiple bus routes dropping off right outside the campus. It's a university dorm, so the room was nothing fancy, but it matched the pictures and was spacious for one person.

Walls were very thin, to the point that when anyone in my hall opened their door during the night, it sounded like my door was opening (I don't know how the students put up with this!). A lot of mildew in the shower as well, but thankfully my hall had a separate bath/shower that was much better.

"Ideal para pasar unos pocos días y conocer la ciudad"

9.0

La cercanía , estar dentro de la universidad y 10/10 al desayuno … para todo lo sobrevalorado que están los hoteles en temporada alta en Edimburgo este es un buen lugar para hospedarte, muy tranquilo .. para ir pocos días a conocer la ciudad está bien .

El baño compartido pero considerando que hay muchos lugares así allá , incluso que comparten habitación lo único compartido aquí era el baño , pero debo comentar que siempre se encontraba limpio lo cual fue muy bueno.

"Best value in all of Edinburgh for a summer stary!"

10.0

Value, location, gardens. Major kudos to the groundskeeping crew for the beautiful flowers all across campus! Easy check in process and friendly staff.

I liked everything, so there is really nothing negative to say. Cannot top the value offered for a stay in Edinburgh in such a great location.
