What people say
Everything about this place was great. It is student housing which gives you the feel of communal living with the option of having your own room if you want quiet time. My family and I loved it. Staff was wonderful, location was great and it was very clean. Another nice thing was the grocery store right around the corner, super handy. I would highly recommend this place.
These are student apartments, so quite basic but clean, modern and centrally located. The bed was comfortable with nice white cotton bed-linen. We stayed for 3 nights for the Festival and found it ideal to be so near everything + able to make tea etc.. in between shows!. all reviews »

Nothing except location.
The staff were lovely.
Close to city centre.
Neat and clean.
The staff was kind and helpful. We initially got an half broken bed, complained about it and got a new room straight away. On the last night they called a taxi for us, and since we were out of cash they specifically asked for one with the possibility of paying with the card, which we appreciated.
Nice clean room. Bed linen smelled freshly laundered and double bed was very comfortable. Good location not far from Grassmarket and Castle.

It was very basis, but clean. Beds were comfy. There was a sittun area
with a flat screen telly couch and bar stools. 2 huge fridge freezers
and cooker.
No too far fro the centre.
Fairly quiet.
Easy for a group of people as located in the same area flat.
Service was excellent, night guard was very friendly and would do anything to assist.
The location is fine for a visit to Edinburgh, close to the city center.

Were able to be kept together.

Staff were apologetic.

location.
Location was not that bad.
the location was good.
Not much.
Clean.
no.
The beds sagged in the middle but that is the only negative thing.
Shared bathroom and shower, though we did know about this in advance. If apt was fully occupied (5 bed-rooms), you might have to wait to shower.
not applicable!.
More utensils in the kitchen would be useful as well as more delph.
For internet, you need a laptop (cable connexion only).
No elevators.
bit out of city but good transport links and good for money.
The address is not correct, Fountainbridge is e very busy street and therefore not easy and dangerous to stop and look for the correct location.
The double bed was way tooooooo narrow.
Noisy.
Staff could not even direct to parking.
The bedding wasn't great and the windows don't open far enough.
no hot water
no wifi.
Poor sound proof.
Mainly the value for money. The place was really, really basic, and we paid quite a lot for what it was. But we went during the Edimburgh festival so I guess that's why. Also, the place is really noisy. We were woken up every morning at 8 by slamming doors.
Nothing really.
No en suite facilities and lounge area not very inviting.
The room might be newly painted so it has a smell of paint. Quite far from city spots. Ventilation of the room is poor.
The accomodation did not have a kettle in the kitchen on arrival but this was later rectified.
Only one towel provided for two people in double room.
Too much noise from inconsiderate people, as the door closers needed adjustment every time people entered or left the building the doors slammed, no use for light sleepers.
Bed was a very small double .
Shower was very weak and only had tepid water at best .Our room was in top floor and was a real climb .
No kettle, toaster or tea towel to dry dishes. Didn't like taking baggage up three flights of stairs.
Had to ask for toilet paper every day.
Stayed 4 nights and kitchen and bathroom were not cleaned once.
Shower did not drain and the toilet seat in the bathroom was not attatched
Could hear doors banging all night.
No hot water in the morning. Was also told no unknown people would be
staying in our shared apartment, but both spare rooms were taken.
it`s hostel.
The room wasn't prepared for stay and we have to find out how to switch on fridge and hot water (it wasn't trivial task).
A bed was inserted as double, but it wasn't large enough for two people.
No bin in room. Had to share a towel. Shared shower and toilet facilities. Was completely unaware it was student uni accomm.noisy doors slamming. Not a 2 bedroom aprtment as described. Toilet broken and overflowing.
I did not like the checking in. It took ages to get our keys. When they
did find them we went to our apartment to find out 3 rooms got the
wrong key.
Not being told at the booking time that what you called 'apartments" are in fact students room.
Poor quality comfort of the furniture and shower.
No kettle the first day.
Wifi was non-existent an network cable did not work. Beds were very restrictive for anyone over 6 feet tall.
The price was shamefully high: what you get for 142 GBP (!) is a poorly equipped room in an apartment building, shared toilet and shower (where warm water was not functioning), possibly noisy neighbours (mine were shouting and they smashed with doors), no breakfast, and non-functioning internet. I consider it a shame.
Beds were old and needs renewed. Seating area very uncomfortable needs renewed.
Our mattress was terrible. The springs were all broken so spent 4 nights rolled together. The floors weren't clean, no rubbish bin in the room, not enough toilet paper in the shared bathroom.
Building was a renovation worksite and matress was just horrible.
Uncleaned toilets Wifi did not work no bedside lamp no hot water no
hangers in wardrobe no soap no way of heating water in the microwave no
basic foodstuffs such as tea, coffee, milk or sugar Very over priced.
Could have got a better service going to one of Edinburgh's down and
out hostels.
The kitchen is very poor stored. There is nothing there if you want to cook.. Only one bad frying pan and one cooker. No spatula or can opener but according to staff this is something you have to provide yourself.. So basically everyone who stays there has to buy one each... Very wierd!!
Very dissapointed they didint have wi-fi, only cable internet. Hello it is 2013!!!.
No Internet
Shower didn't work
Not enough toilet rolls provided.
Lack of basics, i.e. Bins in rooms, toaster, kettle, soap, bath mat, etc.
creaking doors, barely any utensils or cleaning products: not convenient for short-time stays. Only one bathroom shared per flat: can be dirty quickly.
No lift. I had 2.5 yr kid. Big big trouble. Was given room at 4th floor even I mentioned I had a kid. Staffs neither helped with the luggage nor was interested to rearrange the room to ground floor or 1st floor. Kitchen , rest room , toilet are shared with 6 more rooms. No intercom. You can not even talk to reception from 4th floor. Never recommend for family.
Upon booking we were not told it was student apartments.
Shared bathroom was not stated on website.
No fresh towels were given unless asked for.
Sheets were never changed
Toilets were not cleaned for the 3 nights.
No hangers in the wardrobes
No bin in the room.
Beds very uncomfortable.
Actually a student hall of residence.
Sharing a student flat with complete strangers.
Shower did not drain.
Sink hole in room clogged with someone else's hair!!
No bin in room or kitchen/living room.
No kettle - had to boil water for tea/coffee in a pan!!.
It was like an empty shell. No soap, no hand towels, no decent kitchen utensils such as a sharp knife or spatula, no iron or hair dryer.
it location sucks and room sucks too. but price is extremely high.
We coudn`t use the bathroom because of owerswimming!!!We told the staff about it but they didn´t care.
Incredibly uncomfortable beds and a lack of facilities ( no soap in bathrooms, no toaster, kettle or tea towel in kitchen). Poor value for money and much better places on offer in better locations.
Major health and safety issues.
Contractors working every day 8am to 4pm inside your room. Noise unbearable.
Drunk children making noise when returning home.
This walls, every door slammed and squeaks.
Windows dirty. No kitchen utilities like a fork or a bowl as advertised.
No ironing facilities as advertised. No city view as advertised.
Filthy room sticky floors trash everywhere.
Don't go there. Pay a bit more and keep your sanity.
Much to expansive for such a non-luxury room.
