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."
New Town Hotel
"Amazing"
Destiny Student – Murano (Campus Accommodation)
"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."
Destiny Student – Shrubhill (Campus Accommodation)
"Good location"
Destiny - Burnet Point
"Staff were all very helpful and pleasant. Room is immaculately clean. Make sure that you bring your towels though since it’s not provided."
Kick Ass Grassmarket (18+)
Castle charm meets historic city living, featuring castle-view rooms, a cosy lounge with games and music, and a prime Old Town location near Edinburgh Castle and top attractions.
The Scholar
"Love the breakfast! The staff are really friendly and the hotel has a very cute quaint vibe even though it’s very modern and reasonably plush."
Code Pod – the Court - Edinburgh
"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."
Britannia Edinburgh Hotel
A quiet riverside location; just a 15-minute walk to Princes Street and 10 minutes to Haymarket Station.
