I would recommend to any student, especially first years. It's so much cheaper than hillhead and the washing machines are free. The rooms are really spacious with a sink and double bed. Also there's been a few nice surprises like we got a £200 voucher and a hot chocolate another time. Any time there has been a problem It's been sorted pretty quickly. Parcels can be a bit annoying sometimes as if they arrive on the weekend you would have to pick it up on Monday as reception is closed over the weekend but it's never really been an issue for me. Also all the staff are really nice and friendly. I do think the beds are a little problematic as the matress are on one big wooden sheet which means they don't get any air flow and also they must be quite old, so they could do with being replaced. If you attend aberdeen uni its very close about a 20min walk and its 20mins the other way to town and about 15mins to the beach. Also for SRUC its about a 20min walk to the bus stop. And their is a bus stop right outside that goes to town and Edinburgh. Overall I'd recommend staying here to any student. When I was looking for accomadation before I was a bit worried about the bad reviews about every student but I think it's great considering it's one of the cheapest student accommodation!
