Good location

Good location, was a 20 minute walk to Edinburgh Castle, Arthur’s Seat hike and Princes Street. The private bathroom was good and the staff were nice as well. The only thing of note was that the bed was quite uncomfortable, so just something to keep in mind if you’re a bad sleeper.

Fine for what it is - but get it cheap

Fine for what it is - but during Fringe Festival, it is (for obvious reasons) way overpriced.

8/10 Very good

affordable but sparse room for the fringe festival

This was what we were expecting, sparse but affordable accommodations during the fringe festival. It was a 20-25 minute walk to festival venues (or a 10 minute bus ride). Tight for two people, but was clean and staff were friendly. There's a friendly pub (The Regent) a few minutes away, that we used for common space as the rooms are so small. We had a lovely view of Arthur's Seat.

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.
Kiran, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fit for purpose

Pleasant, welcoming and fit for purpose. Condition of communal area tatty and bathroom could be cleaner. Staff friendly and helpful. Good location and great to have Sainsburys and bus stop near by. Superb for park and Arthur's seat, access to Royal Mile and train station. All in all - I would stay again. Price reflects accomodation and clearly states it is not a hotel. I enjoyed my stay in Edinburgh.

2/10 Poor

Dishonest and disgusting customer service.

The accommodation was ok but the service via Hotel.Com was disgusting and frankly detracted from the whole Edinburgh and York trip

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.
Mazin, 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.

Emori, 2-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

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

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.
