Gemma 8/10
United Kingdom πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

Perfect for short, cheap stay.

Pros: Has just what you need for a sort stay. Was clean. Good transport links with regular buses just outside.

Cons: Instructions for entrance were unclear.

MartΓ­n 10/10

Excellent value

Pros: Nice to have a kitchen with a dining table and resting area. Exactly what we needed just for the night, and Morrisons is right next to it.

Cons: Takes some time to go into the city, luckily the buses pass very often.

Milos 10/10

Neat, compact, practical and privacy guaranteed

Pros: The accommodation is decent, tidy and comfortable. Value for money. The staff is friendly and ready to help and provide all information about the city.

Cons: It is a little far from the city, 4.4 kilometers, but again from the other side, it is nice to get around the city, considering that the city is well connected with transport.

Sally 10/10
United Kingdom πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

Fab friendly staff with a great location easy transport links into the centre.

Pros: Leroy at front desk was exceptional πŸ‘Œ fab friendly personality and gave local recommendations of walking into leith. All staff to be fair were extremely friendly and approachable. Keep up the great work.

Cons: No bins in the room.

Cynthia 8/10
United Kingdom πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

Pros: The staff were wonderfully helpful and flat accommodation excellent. However, the distance from the Residence to Edinburgh City Centre and unavailability of early morning taxis during Festival Season mean that it only works well if you are able and willing to drive in busy streets, or work around an hour long bus journey. If you wanted to book a group or bigger family trip to the Festivals and Fringe, the possibility of renting a flat with individual rooms (ensuite) with shared kitchen and dining space would be extremely cost-effective. I'm considering that if my wider family ever decided to go to the Tattoo or the Festivals

Cons: Distance from the Edinburgh Book Festival and failure of taxis to recognise the right drop-off point made my (disabled visitor's) arrival and departure much more difficult than I had hoped. But I would still consider using this space again especially if I were travelling with friends or family

Would 100% recommend for students / budget travel!!! Amazing

Pros: We loved the property! Super clean, perfect for students!

Cons: The location is a bit sketchy

Sarah 8/10
United Kingdom πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

Decent

Pros: The room was better than expected and location was good

Cons: Price almost double what it usually is...put that down to it being during the fringe, tattoo and oasis playing. Could have done with a wee bin in the room.
