Unconventional location for a holiday as techically as its not a hotel but out of season uni dormitory rooms, good value for your money considering the London style prices of Edinburgh today, and with buses nearby going into Edinburgh within 10 or 15 minutes in a great location

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
A few students at the desk were so polite and awesome and a few were absolutely rude. They need to tell you about the kitchenette and such when you check in. The washers and dryers were disgusting and never cleaned. But the worst were the seagulls that live on top of the building and cry, literally cry, all night. There is an awesome Kurdish Kebab place about 4 min walk, and other great places on that strip as well. The towel rule is lame and one of the girls at the front would not give me a plastic bag for my little trash can; she actually told me to go buy one at Sainsbury's. Ridiculous. They should work a bit more cleaning the floors/carpet, etc, instead of sitting at the desk all day.

"I stayed at this hostel for three weeks during my placement. The rooms were clean, staff friendly, and the location was perfect—close to transport and eateries. Wi-Fi was reliable, and the atmosphere felt safe and welcoming. Great value for money. I’d definitely recommend it for short or long stays

It does the job. The bed was fine, and the shower was good. Cleanliness and facilities could be better - I don't have high standards for student accommodation but, for example, the fridge and kitchen area smelled odd. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. If you just need a bed and a shower, and are not looking anything else from your accommodation, this will do the job.

A good stay at the Destiny Student accomodation. Check in was easy, most of it done before arrival. Room was nice, clean, basic but good. Only 15 minutes walk from train station, a few minutes from Hollyrood and the Scottish parliament builds. Would use this again, different from a 5 star hotel but gives you more money to spend on activities
