Edinburgh College Residence

Basic accommodation which is aimed for students. Room was very basic but adequately clean. Small double bed. Communal kitchen wasn't clean. All doors tended to slam closed which was noisy. On the upside, it's cheap and the shower worked fine

Very bad property

hard to locate.

Un peu loin de la ville, mais propre et tranquille, facile d'accès en autobus. Chambre et cuisinette fonctionnelles. Nous avons dû aller acheter notre papier de toilette. Il n'y en avait pas dans la chambre et les personnes à la réception négligeaient de nous en apporter. De plus, personne n'était en mesure de nous expliquer le fonctionnement des buanderies, les informations qu'on noua a donné étaient fausses.

I suggest few tea bags, cpffee sachets/capsules should be kept in the kitchen area.

Actually a very nice stay. The room was comfortable and we had access to a shared kitchen and common room. It was better than we were expecting. The staff were friendly and helpful. It is next to a Morrisons supermarket with a good cafe (Scottish breakfast is very nice). The bus stop outside gets you into the city centre in around 20 mins. It was exceptional value during the fringe!

I've appreciate the organisation, the kindness and the social space of that place!

The doors close very loudly. Kitchen short fused frequently. Good location for transportation with a lot of buses going downtown. Also good to have a grocery store within walking distance. No restaurant around the area.

This was a student room and as such was small with a very small double bed pushed against the wall. If a couple, whoever was wallside would have to either climb over the other, or slither to the end of the bed to get out. The bed was incredibly hard and uncomfortable. There was no bin, either in the room or more importantly, in the shower room which is very poor for disposable of sanitary products, which would have to be put in the bin in the conmunal kitchen area at the end of the hall. The kettle etc were in the kitchen area which was fairly clean though the bin was full of takeaway wrappers and there was a mouldy naan bread left on the side. The shower room was ok (apart from the lack of bin) with a good shower. Our neighbour was obviously a student who turned up about 2am both mornings. It was just a base for us visiting family, but not suitable for anyone staying longer. There are apartments there apparently too which I'm sure are better. There is onroad parking nearby. The reception staff were lovely.
