Very easy walk to the station and city centre with lots of trams and buses. On a main road so very noisy but you can get free ear plugs from reception. The mattress was quite uncomfortable and would have benefited from a topper.

If you are on a budget, Destiny Shrubhill is a very good option. The staff are great and the rooms bright and airy. The internet/wifi is excellent. You can catch a tram every six minutes from St Andrews Square (near the northern exit from Waverley station) to the MacDonald Road stop, a journey of about five or eight minutes, and then walk downhill for about three minutes. There are some small issues. To use the washing machine, you first need to spend half an hour downloading an app in a room with no mobile reception. It would be better to make prepaid washing cards available. Also, the chair supplied did not fit under the desk, which makes working a bit difficult. And it would have been good to have a top sheet as well as the duvet. But these are minor suggestions for improvement, and this is a great place to stay.

Everything was great except the room looked much bigger in the photo. But Edinburgh hotels are so out of reach, we were very glad of the student accommodation so we could attend our daughter's graduation. Thank you.

Basic but functional
Our expectations weren't set high, knowing this was Student accommodation, so pleasantly surprised by the free toiletries and tea/coffee. Small room and access only from one side of the bed but fit our purpose. Couldn't fault the service and nice cafes available nearby. Great use of otherwise empty rooms in a busy city.

Easy student accommodation perfect for a cheap and convenient stay. Front desk was very helpful and welcoming at all hours of the day. The rooms themselves were fine, communal kitchen should have provided cleaning materials. For a nonsmoking building everything reeked of cigarette smoke - I believe our shared neighbours were smoking out their window.
