I stayed here for the Edinburgh Marathon, I assumed (because it was on the University's campus that it was student digs)...I couldn't have been more wrong! The University own two hotels on the site, these are NOT used for students at all. My room was clean and tidy; had a tv/dvd and hot shower. The staff were excellent, even opening... More

I stayed in a double room for one night in Easter, as this was the best rate we could find, breakfast included. This is a B&B in the University, it looks like a residential building. I would recommend you to access through the door in Dalkeith Road, as you will find their main door in front of you. It is... More

I stayed here for two nights. Once you accept that this place is essentially upgraded student accommodation promoted by an entrepreneurial University of Edinburgh it is just fine. It is located about 20 minutes walk from the likes of Edinburgh Castle, and there seem to be plenty of buses running nearby. As a driver unfamiliar with Edinburgh I found it... More

Great breakfast and nice room, albeit quite small. Staff were friendly and free parking too. A little bit out from centre, but was fine for us

It was a really good surprise. Low price for a high quality room with a very nice breakfast. Although is not in the most central part, public transportation makes it easy. For us walking to the centre was also a good part of the visiting tour.

Everything was perfect. It was the best breakfast that we had in Scotland! (we made a big tour, so we know what we say). Staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was not very big, but well organised, very clean, comfortable bed... I would say it is also very good room for the people who want to do some... More

What a treat - a 20 min walk to the centre of Edinbugh but far enough away to get a goid night sleep in a really comfortable bed. The breakfast was as good as you would find in a hotel charging £120 per night. The staff give excellent customer service In all - perfect on all levels.

For the price the room adequate. Bed really comfy and shower fantastic! The only downside with the room was a lack of iron. Bit of a walk into town, but taxis easy to catch from the rank up the road, and walk into town takes approximately 25 minutes. The breakfast was the best breakfast I've EVER had at a B&B!... More

I know that reviews look really mixed in re to this hotel, but I think we got really lucky! I knew that the room would be really small and the shower would not be the best but as you usually get what you paid for I did not have any expectations. It is true that the walls in this building... More
