I liked how close to the Fringe Festival it was!! Salisbury staff were all so nice and helpful, restaurants in the area were all amazing, local transit was easy and very accessible. Bed was not comfortable but it wasn’t so bad that it put me off—would stay again!!

The beds were very comfy, internet ok, room clean and well stocked, but the price for a student residence? Outlandish.

Good stay - flexible staff & good location for Edinburgh Festival, however prices significantly higher than last year, and at night it was difficult to sleep when drunken residents came through the side gate shouting/revelry. I overall liked the studio apartment for its space.

Great option! Wow I wish I had a dorm room like this when I was in uni! Very safe and secure building, double bed (not the most comfortable, but it’s a dorm room), private bathroom with shower, everything was great! Awesome location too!

The room was clean, the property conviniently located, staff has been friendly. An issue of badn clogged took a bit longer to resolve needed more than one day reminder. But overall happy with the property.

These are student rooms, which are rented out during summer break. The room is tiny, has a single bed, shelves, a desk, a small closet and small bathroom. Very small but clean and in good condition. There are shared kitchen and shared spaces with some lounging and games options. Overall, it's nice enough, albeit a bit pricey for the tiny room (and no room service or any cleaning throughout a week long stay!).

Perfect for the Fringe

Perfect for the Fringe - cheap, central, yes it feels like being a student again but for us that added to the fun. Loved having the equipped kitchen, the communal table tennis and pool table, but the privacy of an en suite. Not particularly noisy and felt very secure. It’s not a plush getaway but if you plan on being active it’s perfect. Would definitely use this place again :-)

For the price I would highly recommend this place. For the location, you are about 2km from the main attractions so that is a bit inconvenient. We took a couple of Ubers to and from the city centre and it was about £10 each way. The hotel was not willing to provide additional towels so unfortunately we were stuck with 1 towel per person for 5 days, not ideal but you make it work. Our door stopped locking. The deadbolt apparently would get stuck frequently. This was frustrating. Overall, I would stay here if you are trying to save money. But would recommend you stay closer to the city centre for convenience sake.

get what you pay for ultimately. the place is pretty tiny. wardrobe takes like 1 shirt and 1 pair of trousers. IT IS very handy for all the university based fringe venues. the only complaint is the horrible thin and spring loaded mattress. i have no idea how the students cope with these during term time. We had to get drunk every night! :)))

It's student halls, but not cheap. The bed was awful, springs digging into my back and a very cramped space. Bathroom not clean, shower shelf falling off. Had to buy shower gel/shampoo as only 1 small bar of soap and a sample packet of shampoo were provided. Staff clearly used to dealing with students rather than guests. Paper thin walls, if the bed didn't keep me awake the noise certainly did. Only nice thing was the kitchen, but again, nothing provided, had to go out to buy coffee. This would be acceptable (barely) if this was a budget option, but at over £100 per night you would expect much much better.

Very clean, but you get what you pay for

The rooms and halls are very clean and the kitchen areas are also kept clean every day. The location was great for the fringe festival and getting into the city. Prices were quite high for what you get, but really good for fringe time of year. I also had a really nice view from my window. However, the bed was incredibly uncomfortable and the room was very noisy. I had asked for a room on a high floor in a quiet area as I am a light sleeper. Unfortunately, I was given a room on the 1st floor in a shared appartment block with a large group of tourists. You can hear most conversations in the room next to you. You can also loudly hear doors slamming along the corridor and in rooms above you. On the second night the fire alarm went off at 3am and the mattress was so overused, I could feel each individual spring digging into me. I had to use my duvet as a mattress topper and sleep in my clothes. When I informed reception, they said they’d “check it out and possibly change it.” No apology or urgency. I paid £450 for 4 nights. It definitely wasn’t worth that for what you got, but the price was much better than other places during the last week of fringe. Due to the noise and very uncomfortable sleeping conditions, I didn’t sleep very well at all and wouldn’t stay again. Best if you’re in a big group with other people you know are going to be respectful of noise.

ホテルというよりは民泊に近く、3日に1度のタオル交換です。またドライヤーはないので、持参必須です。立地はよくて、歩いて割とどこへでも行けて、治安もよかったです。物価が高いのでキッチン付きでなのも助かりました！

Va bene per un breve soggiorno se da soli. In coppia la stanza risulta troppo piccola e scomoda. Non vengono effettuate le pulizie giornaliere e c’è un solo set di asciugamani pre 2 persone.
