If (under special circumstances only) you need to withdraw from the Licence Agreement, we'll try to find a replacement Licensee for your room, but we can't guarantee we'll be able to. If a new Licensee is found, then we can release you from your licence, but there will be a re-licence fee*. If you require a copy of the re-licence terms and conditions, please get in touch with us.

    Awesome accommodation with modern clean rooms. I would love to spend a semester here, even though we were here just for a night. The room and bathroom is nicely equipped. There is even a small kitchen. Pretty much everything what student or traveller needs. The bed looked small for two people, but it was okay. The wifi is fast. The staff was super friendly and helpful.

    I had a wonderful one-year stay at Student Castle Edinburgh! Everything was great, and I honestly have no complaints. The check-in process was smooth and efficient, and every staff member I met was friendly, helpful, and welcoming. 🛌 Room: it was quite clean with a minimal dust at first time. Although it might not be new, everything is still in use. Also, the room is spacious and has everything you need. Overall, the accomodation is built with a good layout, so the room is not small. 🛁 Bathroom: it’s quite big and it’s separated into dry and wet area. I love it! 👩🏻‍🍳Kitchen: the oven, sink, fridge, and others are in good quality and they are all easy to use. 🏋️‍♀️Gym: it’s great, full of everything I want! 🦺Safety: all students are required to tap the card from the entrance and if you want to bring friends to your room, you need to register at the reception. I feel really safe during my stay. Also, the area around accommodation is quiet but not scary. 🚶🏻‍♀️Walking: it takes 15 minutes to business school and 30 minutes to princes street. 🛒Grocery: it has tesco with 2-minute walking distance. Also, if you want to buy groceries cheaper, you can walk by 15 minutes to Lidl Nicolson Street. 🚧 Maintenance: they handled my issue quickly and effectively. If the staffs want to enter into my room, they will inform in advance and knock the door everytime. 🛜Internet: fast and good quality 📦Parcel: it was kept safely because you need to present id card to pick up your parcel and they check thoroughly. Overall, I felt happy and comfortable living here all year long. A big thank you to all the staff for making it such a great experience!
