This hotel is located not too far from the city centre and not to far from Arthur's seat so you can get to a lot the the main attraction within walking distance, without the price of the hotel being too high.
The staff inside is friendly and helpful.

The location was perfect rooms are clean when we checked in but no one clean it daily ... we stayed three nights
My daughter and I loved the location. The tram was just across the street so it was extremely convenient to get around. It was also within walking distance to downtown. Our room was perfect for the two of us with a nice up to date washroom and shower. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay there again.
A most enjoyable week's stay. Very secure hotel. Close to several eating establishments. A reasonable walk to city centre. Very courteous and helpful staff. Highly recommended.

Theres no portable water kettle in the room so you need to go to lobby for hot water, door slamming can be heard quite loudy,otherwise the place was convenient to attractions and staffs were helpful. We have a lovely stay.
As stated by the name, this an affordability-focused location. It's a student residence so everything is "just enough". The location is amazing! It's right in front of a tram stop too so if you need to go further than downtown, you can and it's not expensive.
Was a great location and good value. You can hear doors slam, so bring ear plugs! I didn't use any of the other facilities - just my room.

Good value for money, usually student accommodation but reused for the Fringe. Basic room with bathroom, towels and bed linen. No tv but good WiFi. Room was clean and comfortable, mattress not great though
Would recommend for good value accommodation for the Fringe

The cost is very affordable compared with hotels. This is a modern student room. The bed is very narrow for two adults. There are countless restaurants and businesses within walking distance. The street is very noisy; in the summer, you'd like the window open for air, but the noise is hard to bear.

Really good budget option. Clean modern and secure. 15 min walk from centre, and right next to the tram.
Only criticism is the room was quite hot in the august sun, and with the window open it was a bit noisy. But I imagine that hot weather is rarely a problem in Edinburgh…

Great position. Surrounded by all amenities. Walkable to all we wanted to see
We were on the third floor with great view but would have loved the outside of the windows to have been a little cleaner so we coul have enjoyed it more. Realise this could be difficult but thought the widows were reversable.

All the staff members were friendly, the room was small but efficient. The room was clean but the bed was horrible! We stayed 2 nights and I had the worst sleep in my life. You could feel the bed springs...
