Gateway Apartments, Edinburgh

I highly recommend this place to any student in Edinburgh but especially if you’re international! It’s close to multiple bus stops and the tram, including grocery stores and the post office! It’s easy to do your laundry, check your mail and use the common or cinema room. The room itself is clean and comfortable, I feel really safe here! Best of all the staff is super friendly and helpful making it a comfortable warm place to stay (:

Ideal living space as a mature student at Edinburgh. I love the area and its not too far of a walk to campus. The are so many places to eat and smaller grocery shops I can go to other than Tesco or Sainsbury's. My favourite thing is the coffee shops that are less than a 2 min walk from the apartment where I can study. I got a ground floor studio and it has enough space where I don't feel crowded with all my things. Kitchen is decent with enough storage for pots and pans. I really love that it's quiet at night and I don't have to worry about major events taking place right outside my apartment. It's also an ideal location for public transport. The tram stops right outside the apartments which can take you straight to the airport and all around Edinburgh. Really great spot, happy that I found this place!

I absolutely love living here! The location is perfect—just a few minutes from the shopping center and Calton Hill, with lots of convenience stores around. Super safe and super handy. I'm in Block A and the view is amazing—you can actually see Calton Hill from the window! The staff are so nice (the receptionist is super friendly and lovely), and there are always fun events going on. I've joined the movie night and the welcome pizza party, which were great. At the start of the semester, we even got a welcome pack with snacks and tissues, and sometimes reception puts out free treats. Such a nice surprise! Facilities are spot on: common room, gym, cinema, laundry—everything you need. And the best part? There are two adorable cats in the building, which makes it feel even more like home. Honestly, this place is my warm little home in Edinburgh. Couldn't recommend it more!

I’ve had such a positive experience at Prestige Student Accommodation (Gateway). Shana has been absolutely wonderful. She is always so friendly, approachable, and helpful throughout my stay, which has made settling in so much easier. John was also really kind and supportive during my move from McDonald’s to Gateway, and I truly appreciated his assistance in making the transition smooth. Thank you both for creating such a welcoming environment!

This place is absolutely amazing! The staff here are incredibly nice and very accommodating. Special thanks to Shana who’s has been incredibly supportive and helpful :) The studio apartment I’m staying at is huge compared to others I’ve visited and the price is amazing. So many great amenities in this place and it’s super close to many different landmarks, shops, bus stops and restaurants. Just as a bonus, they also have the friendliest cats that live outside, they’re truly adorable and don’t turn down a scratch behind the ear ;)
