In many ways this is a nice place to stay. But! The wifi / internet service is as slow as molasses. I stayed in two different buildings and the problem was the same. So I think the problem is not with the wifi signal but with the total internet bandwidth that the property subscribes to. You need to increase the total capacity.

It's a very nice place except that some guests think that the hallways are a place to party or talk loudly on their speakerphones. Why don't they do these things in their rooms instead of in the hallways?

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The accommodations seem to be popular with adults of varying ages who seem to be traveling independently in groups and for academic meetings, not typical tourists on holiday. The cafeteria for the included breakfast was mobbed but run efficiently. The view of Arthur’s seat from my modest room was remarkable.

As this is probably the fifth time I've been here, I have said everything already. It's good,especially at festival time. The breakfast is brilliant. Not a fan of single beds, but I knew before I booked so it was a known known.

Really great place. Only downside is that it is not that well isolated noise wise and you can hear the doors close quite clearly. Pretty great otherwise.

The stay was as lovely. Fresh towels and bedding provided. Bathroom was nice and clean. Under the beds looked like they have been missed cleaning wise in a while. Oh well. All and all a great place to stay! Close to Arthur's Seat and a less then half hours walk to The Royal Mile. The included breakfast is incredible! The staff and patron's staying are extremely friendly. A great hub to enjoy Scotland! Will stay again!

It is very much a dorm situation, so be prepared to have ear plugs for noisy neighbors. Staff were great and accommodating.

Considering how much of a rip off every other type of accommodation is in Edinburgh, this was a good deal. The breakfast was superb; better than most expensive hotels!

Loved staying here. The property is beautiful and quiet. Breakfast is amazing. Bring your own coffee or tea because there is access to a kettle. Bed was extremely comfy. Shared bathrooms seemed to always be available and they were clean.
