Summer Stays at The University of Edinburgh offers basic student-style rooms, good value near Arthur’s Seat and bus links, but expect potential long check in queues, thin walls with hallway noise at times, and occasional maintenance or cleanliness lapses.

A great place to stay of you're going to Edinburgh, particularly for Fringe. 24/7 reception, great breakfast options and simple amendities but clean. Room comes with a sink which was great for brushing teeth and washing my face without having to always use the shared bathroom. Shared facilities were clean and easy to access.

Great location and affordable. On the other hand, the check in and check out process was terrible with massive lines out the door for hours waiting. Depending on where you are on the property, it can also be quite loud at night from people walking through the halls.
