Property was exactly as advertised. It is student accommodations. Can't beat the price for a few nights in Edinburgh within walking distance of Arthur's Seat and the Royal Mile. Hot breakfast (7:30-10:00am)was really good and included in the price. Buses were frequent and nearby. I was there as 1 adult with 1 infant. They had a high chair in the cafeteria for breakfast and provided an infant cot (no sheet) for sleeping. Staff were really helpful.

The property was a quick 20-minute bus ride via route 30. Walking distance to Arthur’s Seat. Quiet area. Lovely campus. Don’t let GPS fool you. If you are taking the bus, get off at Commonwealth Pool. Take a left off the bus. Walk to Holyrood Park Road and make a right walking towards Arthur’s Seat. Pass the Commonwealth Pool Complex. On your right there will be a Guard House for the University. Walk past it. The Reception Center will be on the left. Hope that helps!

The staff was not truthful about check-in. Instead of saying, "we do not allow check-in before 3" I was told my room was not ready. However, dozens of people were checking in while I was waiting. Amazingly at exactly 3, my room was ready. The laundry app did not work nor did the kiosk that sold cards. I had to pay double price to have my laundry done at a location 3/4 of a mile away. The breakfast was excellent and the room was comfortable and tidy. They could do a deeper clean, but there was nothing terrible,

In many ways this is a nice place to stay. But! The wifi / internet service is as slow as molasses. I stayed in two different buildings and the problem was the same. So I think the problem is not with the wifi signal but with the total internet bandwidth that the property subscribes to. You need to increase the total capacity.

It's a very nice place except that some guests think that the hallways are a place to party or talk loudly on their speakerphones. Why don't they do these things in their rooms instead of in the hallways?

The accommodations seem to be popular with adults of varying ages who seem to be traveling independently in groups and for academic meetings, not typical tourists on holiday. The cafeteria for the included breakfast was mobbed but run efficiently. The view of Arthur’s seat from my modest room was remarkable.

As this is probably the fifth time I've been here, I have said everything already. It's good,especially at festival time. The breakfast is brilliant. Not a fan of single beds, but I knew before I booked so it was a known known.

Really great place. Only downside is that it is not that well isolated noise wise and you can hear the doors close quite clearly. Pretty great otherwise.
