Un peu loin de la ville, mais propre et tranquille, facile d'accès en autobus. Chambre et cuisinette fonctionnelles. Nous avons dû aller acheter notre papier de toilette. Il n'y en avait pas dans la chambre et les personnes à la réception négligeaient de nous en apporter. De plus, personne n'était en mesure de nous expliquer le fonctionnement des buanderies, les informations qu'on noua a donné étaient fausses.

The doors close very loudly. Kitchen short fused frequently. Good location for transportation with a lot of buses going downtown. Also good to have a grocery store within walking distance. No restaurant around the area.

Noisy neighbors with very thin walls. The "clean" towels we got had clumps of someone else's hair. The firealarm went off in the middle of the night (false alarm) that apparently happens quite often because there are signs around the building about false alarms. No parking nearby. And check in was late by half an hour.

Overall, good value for money. One thing that might help future guests is to not keep a mop in the bathroom, as it left a terrible odor, and the shower curtain didn't touch the floor so water got everywhere when we showered. With transportation right outside the building, it only took 20 minutes to reach the city and there was a kitchen with a convenient Morrison's 4 minutes walking distance away. Would stay again despite the small issues as stated.

The dorm room was fine. *** Because there are no amenities. Good value though. My issue was the parking area which I think is owned by Morrisons. That area was filthy and reflected badly in the accommodation and had been so had been for some time. The accommodation is fine though.

I reserved and paid for this hotel prior to leaving the states, and I received a normal confirmation email advising of my check-in and check-out times. Nowhere was it indicated that the facility would not be open on the weekends or that a passcode was required to access the building. My husband and I arrived in Edinburgh, Scotland on Sunday to find a sign on the door of this hotel indicating they weren't open. We were literally stranded and spent two hours of our precious time in Edinburgh searching for a new hotel. Why was the access code not included in the confirmation email? A little communication on the part of this facility could have made for a great stay. Unless you are psychic, I'd avoid these lodgings and opt for something dependable.

Disliked: Amenities
residence studentesco messo a disposizione dei turisti, ha camere molto essenziali, troppo. Non c'era proprio niente ( gruccie, abat jour, no TV). C'è una bella cucina in comune, ma con nessun accessorio ( no pentole, no piatti fondi, no mestoli). Comodo il parcheggio e il supermecato vicino, anche se non è facile da capire gli accessi ed il pagamento. Comodo l'autobus. Buona base per visitare Edimburgo, ma c'è di meglio.

Bonne solution d’hébergement à plus faible coût pour Edimbourg mais assez excentré des principales attractions de la ville. Heureusement le transport en commun est assez efficace et si vous êtes prêt à investir un 30-35 minutes pour vous déplacer, et que vous avez le sommeil pas trop léger (bruit des voisins dont les portes qui claquent à toute heure…) c’est un option intéressante.
