About The Keel Houses, Edinburgh

Whether you’re just starting university or returning for postgraduate study, one thing is true - where you live shapes how you live. The Keel Houses, set on Lower Gilmore Place by the peaceful Union Canal, offers more than modern student accommodation in Edinburgh. It’s where your academic ambitions, personal freedom, and social life can all feel at home.

From the moment you move in, you’ll be part of a friendly and close-knit community, set to grow to around 150 residents when Phase 2 opens in Summer 2026. This creates the perfect balance — a sociable atmosphere with plenty of opportunities to make real connections, while still offering space to feel at home.

Whether it's gathering in the communal lounge, sharing a laugh in the games room, watching something new in the cinema lounge, or hosting a dinner in the private dining room, there’s always something happening, and always someone to share it with. You might even pick up a game of Mah Jong, our favourite way to unwind and connect!

We are also pleased to announce that, in addition to our already fabulous array of on-site amenities, we will be adding a brand new library, cinema room, gym, and kitchen area in July 2026.

Each studio apartment is fully furnished, with your own bathroom, kitchen, and study area—giving you independence without isolation. Many rooms offer views over the canal or Edinburgh Castle, and with Wi-Fi and all bills included, you can focus on what matters without worrying about the small stuff.

Of course, academic success is key. That’s why The Keel Houses includes dedicated quiet study areas and a professional-style meeting room - perfect for revision, group work, or focused postgrad research.

When you need a change of scene, step outside into the private courtyard, a peaceful, leafy spot to read, chat, or clear your head between study sessions.

Edinburgh’s best is right on your doorstep. Just around the corner are local favourites like The Blackbird, Harajuku Kitchen, and The Golf Tavern. Love theatre? The historic King’s Theatre is a short walk away, with performances running year-round. For something different, Escape Reality (a two-minute walk away) offers high-energy team games to test your logic and teamwork.

If green space is your thing, Bruntsfield Links and The Meadows offer wide open skies, quiet paths, and the perfect backdrop for a walk, jog, or moment of calm.

And getting around? It’s easy. Haymarket Station is just 10 minutes on foot, connecting you across the city and beyond. Flying in from abroad? Edinburgh Airport is only 20 minutes away by car, making The Keel Houses a smart choice for international students too.

  • Special Conditions

    • Special Conditions

    Medical:
    You can request to terminate your tenancy agreement if you have an existing medical condition that renders you medically unable to continue at university and this medical condition is recorded on your application prior to a room offer being made.
    You (or a legal guardian, or representative) must:
    send an email to: salesenquiries@wearehomesforstudents.com or to your property email address if already in residence confirming that you wish to cancel the tenancy agreement on medical grounds, stating your full name, details of the property booked;
    send medical proof (e.g. letter from doctor) with your request;
    send proof of withdrawal or deferral from the University.
    You will be liable for a minimum of 4 weeks’ rent or to the end of the current rent period, whichever is the longer. For the avoidance of doubt, a rent period is the full contract value up to the fixed end date divided into 3 equal instalments, regardless of the instalment option that was chosen by you at the outset.
    If you have a medical condition that is not recorded on your application, you will remain liable for the rent until the end of the fixed tenancy end date, or until a suitable replacement tenant is found and the room is re-let.

    Sensitive or Exceptional Special Conditions:
    You can submit a request in writing, or by email to salesenquiries@wearehomesforstudents.com or your property email address with supporting evidence (including medical information or supporting information from your place of study as appropriate), to the Special Conditions Panel for your case to be reviewed.
    The Panel will review your request and make consideration of your circumstances. Once the Panel has reached its decision, both you and your guarantor will be notified in writing. The Panel aims to confirm a decision within 10 working days* and is final.
    *This can sometimes take longer due to additional Landlord approval requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can somebody be my proxy for check-in?

If you have reserved a room, ID will be required at check-in and the key will be handed to you after signing the necessary documents.

What amenities will be provided in my room?

All necessary furniture like bed, desk, chair, wardrobe will be provided plus if applicable, basic kitchen appliances will also be included. Some of the additional information will be given when you make a booking.

Do I have to notify the recipient in advance for the check-in?

Yes, we would be glad if you could let us know what time you plan to arrive so that we can have your scheduled check-in ready for you.

What should I do if I am not sure of when I can check out?

Your check-out date is stated in your tenancy agreement, the tenancy deposit schedule, or in any other documents that you’ve signed in relation to the tenancy. You can also go ahead and call the front desk to confirm the information.

How to check out?

To check out, please inform the front desk, return your keys, and ensure your room is left in good condition. Any remaining balance should also be settled.

Do You Need a Guarantor?

Most landlords and letting agents require a UK-based guarantor. Without one, you may be asked to pay your full year's rent upfront. To help students navigate this, we've partnered with Housing Hand, which can provide a recognised certificate of rental guarantee, giving both you and your landlord peace of mind.

It's worth knowing that several of our student halls don't require a UK-based guarantor at all, allowing students to pay rent in convenient instalments instead. To find out which properties qualify and how to get started, reach out to our team. We're happy to guide you through the booking process from start to finish.

    I've stayed here for over 3 months now and my experience has been nothing but awesome. It's clean, the staff are nice the accommodations are comfortable a little bit on the pensive side but well worth it, for the amenities that follow.

    This student residence is a hidden gem near a picturesque canal adorned with vibrant graffiti. Safety is a top priority, ensuring a secure haven for residents. With an array of dining options, proximity to the Cameo cinema, and Tepin for billiards, entertainment and leisure are always at your fingertips. Bennets provides the perfect setting for unwinding with a beer. Shared kitchens foster a sense of community, and the ping pong table adds a fun element. In essence, it’s not just a residence; it’s a vibrant community that combines artistic surroundings, diverse dining, and recreational amenities for an exceptional living experience. The only bad thing is that in spring there are mosquitoes like lions.

    Fantastic accommodation in a beautiful location by the canal. The studios are modern and cozy, and the staff and community are incredibly welcoming. Close to everything you need

    A very peaceful and quiet accomodation! Glad I chose this over Vita. Alex, the residential manager, is also very nice and helpful! He is always looking out for others, and strives his best to help them when they are in need.

    This accommodation is truly wonderful. Being located right in front of the canal makes it even more special. Its proximity to Meadows Park and the fact that you can reach the most central areas within a 15-minute walk are absolutely amazing. I would especially like to highlight that what truly makes this accommodation exceptional is the manager Alex, the staff member Graeme, and the cleaning staff Lina. All three are outstanding. They are not only highly professional but also extremely warm and friendly. They are always willing to help with any problem. Alex is genuinely the best manager I have ever come across.
