10/10 Excellent

It was an excellent stay. If I ll be visiting again then I ll definitely stay here again. Quite clean and well maintained. Staff is super friendly. The best part? The bus stand is exactly outside the residence which takes you straight to city center.
Saurabh, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Welcoming staff and great value for money. Easy regular transport links to city centre. No complaints based on the price oft he stays.
Stephen, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

This is fully a dorm room. It’s serviceable for a quick stay, but it didn’t smell the freshest. The staff was extremely kind and it felt safe.
Abigail, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Ok basic Clean easy access
Anthonia, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Stay was fine, as would be expected of student accommodation. Shower was not great. Hairs in the bed.
Shamini, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

We stayed here for one night. We were a bit concerned about its average rating, but everything turned out fine — very clean and tidy. The room’s furnishings were new and met the basic needs without being excessive. The same goes for the bathroom, though unfortunately, there was no shampoo! The bathroom is small, and the bed size is relatively limited for two people, but the bed was comfortable, and overall, everything was good. The accommodation is located a short distance from the sea but is very quiet and isolated. Fortunately, there is a large supermarket nearby, as well as a bus station.

8/10 Good

This property is clean and provides the basics. It is not a hotel but is a college residence used in the summer for others to stay. The residence has several bus stops just a few steps out the door that will take you to the town centre and airport and numerous other areas. There is also a grocery store close by. The beds are small so if it says two can stay … it would be difficult for two people to sleep in the one bed.
Jodie, 4-night trip

4/10 Poor

For two people the bed was too small. No close-hangers Window frame was broken. The hours to check in was limited.
Ronald, 3-night trip

4/10 Poor

The young receptionist insisted that I must show either a passport or a driving license in order to check in even though it is not mentioned in the confirmation email. I showed the confirmation email and text but they didn’t help.

I've appreciate the organisation, the kindness and the social space of that place!

Good connections to Edinburgh if you are not staying in the room, it is cheap.
4-night trip

8/10 Good

This was fine for a night. it is student accommodation and very reasonable. The staff was friendly and helpful. Amenities are soewhat. basic, but what would you expect? despite that, we were very happy with it. The bed was a bit small for 2 people (we are used to a bigger bed) but it wasnt disastrous. worst was perhaps that it was against the wall so i had to climb in from the bottom! The kitchen was clean, and we were able to use it for our breakfast - everything worked fine. Tip for others: you CAN park in the Morrison's car park. Make sure you drive up to the top level, and you can unload right in front of the accommodation's back door. You can park there overnight, if you access the app RingGo, id 682383, and pay for it. Costs around £4. Bus connection to town centre is also fine. 30 mins or so, busses quite frequent.

It was a calm and clean place with basic amenities. Thank you.
Olha, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A nice stay

Actually a very nice stay. The room was comfortable and we had access to a shared kitchen and common room. It was better than we were expecting. The staff were friendly and helpful. It is next to a Morrisons supermarket with a good cafe (Scottish breakfast is very nice). The bus stop outside gets you into the city centre in around 20 mins. It was exceptional value during the fringe!
David, 3-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The staff is untrustworthy and unhelpful. They will not take responsibility for thievery among their staff. My partner forgot their birkenstock sandals in the room, we called less than 6 hours later to ask them to keep them for us so we could come pick them up, however, they allegedly could not find the sandals and they were mysteriously gone. When confronted about this, they refused to take any sense of accountability. SHAME. I've now also read other reviews with people having the same experience, so there seems to be an untrustworthy person among their staff and the rest just covering for them. I warn all travellers considering staying at this accommodation to find other places to stay because you are bound to have something stolen from you.

Very bad property
Chetan, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Online directions to hotel unclear. Check in person unhelpful with extra blanket. False fire alarm went off twice.
LAURA, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Overall, good value for money. One thing that might help future guests is to not keep a mop in the bathroom, as it left a terrible odor, and the shower curtain didn't touch the floor so water got everywhere when we showered. With transportation right outside the building, it only took 20 minutes to reach the city and there was a kitchen with a convenient Morrison's 4 minutes walking distance away. Would stay again despite the small issues as stated.
Jessica, 5-night trip

6/10 Okay

Fire alarm went off, reset by guests. Room not ready on arrival. Chair filthy dirty by desk. Breakfast bar seats to tall not able to sit near bar to eat. Staff 1st class
Hubert, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

The dorm room was fine. *** Because there are no amenities. Good value though. My issue was the parking area which I think is owned by Morrisons. That area was filthy and reflected badly in the accommodation and had been so had been for some time. The accommodation is fine though.
Wally, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

the receiptionist was really rude and unpleasant to converse with
