Destiny Student - Holyrood (Brae House)

Destiny Student - Holyrood (Brae House)

📍 Brae House, 31 Abbeyhill, Edinburgh
★★★★ 8.5 (158 reviews)

"The room was clean and the facilities were fairly complete, though a bit small. It would be perfectly fine as student accommodation. However, as a commercial rental, the price is quite steep; at around 1200 including tax, the value for money isn't great. Because it's dormitory-style with area doors (each area having five or six rooms) and shared kitchen doors, the sound insulation is poor, so it can get quite noisy. There's often a chorus of loud doors opening and closing, as well as hairdryer noise. The train tracks are right across the street, but it wasn't noisy at night, perhaps due to infrequent service."

"Great facilities and an affordable stay in a private student hall during the summer. However the left luggage service is not free like in hotels. This place feels like a hotel more than a hostel as I rarely met my other flatmates during my stay."

"It was relatively clean. Other guests' belongings in the room were a bit messy, but there were lockable lockers. The front desk staff were also very welcoming, and there's free WiFi. It seems like you can also participate in activities at the hostel. The bathrooms and everything were quite clean. Someone snored at night, so my sleep was just okay."

Destiny Student - Holyrood (Brae House) ★★★★
"Everything was great. It's open 24/7, and online check-in is available, which saves a lot of time. We booked a studio, and the room was clean, with a microwave, fridge, stove, and dishes. There was unlimited hot water, and towels were provided with the key. The city center is a pleasant 25-minute walk away."

"Abut of a walk from the shopping street but for the price paid, its worth it. As my booking was a last minute booking, i was given the highest floor, loft room and there is no lift. So its abit of a climb."

Destiny Student – Murano (Campus Accommodation) ★★★★
"I booked this hotel at a budget-friendly price compared to other options, and it was good value for the money. The room was clean, comfortable, and everything was well maintained. There were just a couple of small issues. The room had a wardrobe but no hangers, which was a bit inconvenient. The soundproofing was also not very good, so I could hear nearby guests opening and closing their doors. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, and I would recommend it if you're looking for a clean and affordable place to stay."
