Canal Point, Edinburgh

Have been staying here on and off for around 3 yrs now, I’ve had really pleasant experiences here. Very nice rooms and infrastructures, there are a toaster and a kettle in every flat to share, and a small courtyard behind the buildings. Also very friendly stuffs who would arrange lots of fun social activities in the accommodation…etc. in general very pleasant stay!

Friendly and helpful staff, compact but functional room which was fine for a one night stay and great value compared to other property in Edinburgh. A short walk from city centre (~15 mins) and easy access at all times using fob - no hassle with keys/night security. Was pleased that bedding and towels were provided considering this was student accommodation. On the downside, the early checkout of 10 am and no opportunity to extend was inconvenient for me. It would've been nice to have a small TV in the room and cups/glasses for water, although there was a shared kitchen/living room to use.

Very well located, cool prices, and nice staff. All you need to spend à feed days in the Capital. The common kitchen is great to cook and share a meal.

My first accommodation when I arrived in Edinburgh.. Self contained rooms with a toilet and shower, theres a common kitchen area with cooking facilities, plates and cutlery.. And helpful staff in the front office with plenty of maps (that I kept losing..) Edit... By the way.. I have to say, this was the best accommodation I had on my whole trip.. I stayed in a hotel for a few days sharing a room with 3 others in Kyleekin on Skye with rickety bunk beds and wobbly toilets, then stayed in a converted High School in Inverness, it was ok if you like sharing with 5 others in a room.. Then shared a room in a hotel (Kensington Hilton) in London that was really noisy with police cars up n down the road every ten minutes.. I found my little self contained room in Edinburgh was the ducks guts.. I loved it.. If I ever get to come to Edinburgh again, I'd love to stay here again. The location of the place is so close to so many touristy things in the city and lots of eateries close by too.. And if you want to cook your own meals the kitchen facilities are handy too..

Spent 2 years here.. What a gem among numerous student accommodations in Edinburgh really, and imagine you get a room with clear canal view.(credit to large windows) For those who would like to explore more areas of Edinburgh, this is perfect and I strongly suggest cycling. Very friendly team, fast wifi and secure parcel handling. There will also be frequent social events. Staff:5 Location:4 Comfort:5 Facilities:3 Value:5 P.S. the area currently will be under regeneration for some time, good luck with it. And I do take the opportunity to thanks the staff team again.
