Edinburgh College Residence, Edinburgh

“This accommodation offered excellent facilities, great location, and comfortable living spaces. The Allied student company was responsive, and overall, it provided a safe, convenient, and peaceful environment.”

I had been planning to visit Edinburgh for a few months but when I saw the extreme prices of the hotels, I was thinking to cancel my trip. Then I saw this place, the prices were really affordable and the location was so close to sea that we could go to the sea at midnight or early in the morning. The receptionist on our check in day was a lovely lady who was very kind and helpful. I can say you get more value than the money you pay. Don't expect a luxury hotel but the cleanliness and facilities surpassed some of the hotels which you had to pay twice more money. The only thing to mention is the size of the bed which is really small for two people and the pillows are too thin ( not mentioning this as a complaint as I am still happy for the value we got for the money, it's just a guideline for people who want to go there to know) Overall, I was very happy for our stay.

The room was very clean — you couldn’t fault its cleanliness. It was a good size, but you should keep in mind that this is a student dormitory, so everything is designed for one person, though slightly larger — just enough for two people to use it for a night or two. The view was toward the sea and a nearby supermarket building. So, despite the long distance from the city center, you won’t have any problem with shopping. The bus stop is right in front of the building. The only thing missing was shampoo in the room, which we had to provide ourselves.
