It was my first time staying in a university dorm as a tourist. It reminded me of my student days. The reception staff who handled our check-in were very friendly and most helpful. At the reception, we learnt about the self-service laundry, breakfast, convenient shop, bar and lounge etc. The room was of a decent size. In fact larger than some hotels. The ensuite toilet and shower were small but adequate. WiFi was strong enough. Good that there was a lift. Tourists like us do carry quite heavy baggage.. Although the room faces the open space where students gathered, the noise did not pose any issue at all. It did not go on late into the night. There were a few lounges. A pantry. A games room. Breakfast was really very good. The restaurant was huge. The buffet was well organised. Food was freshly cooked. Eggs, sausages, haggis, cereals, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, all kinds of bread, etc. The atmosphere was incredible. Just like any campus full of youthful energy. The campus was beautiful just at the foot of Arthur's Seat. And bus transport to the city centre is readily available. It is actually not far to walk.

部屋も広く、値段が手ごろでした。ベッドはとても快適でした。朝食も種類が豊富でした。 簡単なキッチンもありました。シャワールームもワンフロアにいくつかあり、待つようなことはありませんでした。

Good clean room, with a 20-30 min walk into town. Check in / check out process could be tweaked to be more efficient but great stay overall

レセプションが分かり辛いが案内に従っていけば見つけることができる。 部屋はシンプルでバス・トイレは共用だが、値段を考えれば止むなし。 特筆すべきはブュッフェ形式だが非常に美味しくラインナップに富んだ朝食で、自分の好みに合わせたスコティッシュブレックファーストが楽しめる。 立地は中心街までバスが基本となるが歩けなくはない距離でアーサーズシートは至近、ホリールード宮殿へも徒歩でアクセス可能。 これは偶然かもしれないが、部屋の窓からバグパイプの練習する音が聞こえてきた事もとても良い印象として残っている。 総じてコスパがとても良いゲストハウスである。

Basic but pleasant accomodation, easily walkable from the city centre, and well priced for festival season.
