It’s not 5* luxury but you get what you pay for.

It was basic clean and comfortable, excellent location near the centre of Edinburgh.

Can get very stuffy in the rooms when its warm as the windows open just a bit and ventilation in the building is very bad. Carpets in the room were dirty upon arrival.

Well located and central, its a decent place to stopover for a few days. Staff is friendly and helpful. Laundry and kitchen facilities are good.

Location

Advertised as a double room but the bed was just a small double, which wasn't big enough for a couple.

Distance from the city centre.

It was the first time I was in a student accomodation, and the room was suprusingly clean, well-maintained and comfortable. I could get all basics on the reception.

I came twice to borrow a hairdryer, but it was just never there. My room was at the very end of this maze-like building, so that was a bit annoying (not sure if the other rooms were full). The location is not bad, but a bit far to walk to the centre but too close for a single ride with the public transport (which costs £2), so maybe something to take into account before booking. The automatic bathroom light was terrible, it went off every 2 seconds of no movement.

Fully equipped kitchen, warm room, bright room with openable window, Sainsbury's local is just right downstairs, 24/7 receptionist, close by bus and tram stops.

The mattresses were a little uncomfortable. It would have been good to have had a cloth, washing up liquid and tee cloth in the kitchen so we could clean up better. We did have the disturbing incident of man entering our room in the early hours of Friday morning. There was a man who was shouting outside every night until the early hours. Don’t suppose much can be done about that,

Location was excellent and the facilities were good. The kitchen was a bonus as was the food storage. We asked for,extra pillows which we were given. The complimentary bits and pieces in reception were a good idea.

Rooms extremely small and you can hear everything outside and through the walls. The bed was very small and extremely uncomfortable. When asked for another blanket they were unfortunately unable to give us one which was disappointing especially because they made a point to tell us that not all their accommodation was occupied and they had many empty rooms.

After another booking canceled on us we were rebooked to stay at this location. Overall it was fine for being placed here however it wouldn't have been where we selected. The staff was excellent I will say, very friendly and helpful and small items were available free of charge which was nice (shampoo, ear plugs, tea). Shower was nice and hot. Location was close to the tram and shops.

No issues

Central

Stayed in June 2024

Rooms were lovely but can get quite warm so we had to keep the window open everyday and outside can be quite noisy throughout the night but once we had some ear plugs we were fine.

Really clean and tidy. Not too far from train station and easy to access.

Central location for my needs .

The windows should be sound proofed better, as the road side facing rooms very noisy from the ongoing traffic on the road.

Centrally located, good value for money

Location excellent, bed and room small, but ok for the price.

Stayed in June 2024

The bed was not very comfortable (but OK for a few nights). We could hear everything from the corridor and other rooms around us, so it was sometimes noisy.

Very good location, friendly staff. There was some tea, soaps, etc. for guests at the reception.

Not Applicable - exactly as advertised, exactly as expected.

Destiny Student – Shrubhill is student accommodation. Understand that and there will be no confusion. As student accommodation goes it is very good. Spacious sized room with ensuite bathroom. Separate kitchen. Good security. Destiny Student – Shrubhill location is excellent. Directly on Leith Walk which is a happening place. Destiny Student – Shrubhill does not have any parking. You have to take your chance on the streets surrounding the accommodation. If you are lucky you can find within a few hundred metres.

A short bed and a table close by. He slept with his feet on the table.

Good location.

The stove (or the pan) wasn't quite working as expected, making the cooking really slow. It might be the pan incompatibility. We also unfortunately booked the place in a high season, lowering its value-for-money.

The room is clean, and still okay to be occupied by a couple. There's a shared kitchen in which you can cook and store your food in the fridge so you might be able to cook rather than dining out. Expected facilities from a campus accommodation.
