"This is a good option in the summer season. In other seasons hotels in Edinburgh are not that expensive so those will be better options than this student dorm."

★★★ 8.6 (57 reviews)

"I stayed in a 6-bed dorm. The room window could only be opened a tiny crack, leading to very poor ventilation. As soon as you walked in, there was a strong, unpleasant odor. Everyone should avoid Room 206."

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) ★★★★
"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."

"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."

Code Pod – the Court - Edinburgh ★★★★
"I visited at the end of March, and Edinburgh was still quite cold, especially with the strong winds. The hostel's location is excellent, right by the church on the Royal Mile, making it easy to walk to all the other famous attractions. The room was very clean, and even though I booked a mixed dorm, I was kindly placed in an all-female room. The bed was clean, with a USB charging port, a privacy curtain, a lockable locker, and a shoe cabinet. The communal bathrooms and toilets were spacious, with each shower stall having a separate wet and dry area, plus a hairdryer. I highly recommend having breakfast at the hostel; the waffle I ordered was huge, and guests get a discount. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!"
