구조가 복잡해서 방찾기가 힘들며 짐보관시 비용이 발생합니다.
방은 기숙사를 빌려주는듯 한데 침구류가 그리 깨끗해보이지는 않았습니다.
프런트는 친절합니다.

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.

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.

El hospedaje cuenta con lo necesario para poder tener una estancia cómoda en Edimburgo, todos los que ahí trabajan son muy amables y siempre tienen la disposición de responder cualquier duda. En definitiva volvería a quedarme aquí.

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.

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

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

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.

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

Trevligt men svårt att få nattsömn.
Mycket trevlig och hjälpsam personal och smidig in- och utcheckning. Det negativa var att rummet var väldigt varmt och att det var högljutt utanför nattetid. Sängarna var också i minsta laget. Dock fräscht och bra gångavstånd från Edinburgh centrum.
