We stayed here to visit the Military Tattoo. The accommodation cost around half the price of nearby budget hotels and was exceptional value. All the staff from the reception team to restaurant staff were so friendly, efficient and cheerful and made us feel very welcome. The rooms are as you would expect for a Uni but clean and the towels were lovely and fluffy. The only downside was the banging of communal doors as people came and went but that is pretty much the same wherever you stay. The meals were of exceptional quality, we had booked breakfast for each day but you could pay for dinners there. There was so much choice for every meal, the food was delicious and piping hot. There were plenty of free drinks on offer or for the evening meal you could buy a drink in the adjoining bar if you wanted something that wasn’t on offer in the restaurant. There was plenty of seating even though we were there at the busiest time of year. Overall I think it would be hard to find better value for money.

“Nice stay at a convenient location”

I wasn't quite sure of the room price since our room was booked thru. the Edinburgh international festival when hotel rooms were in high demand.

I wasn't quite sure of the room price since our room was booked thru. the Edinburgh international festival when hotel rooms were in high demand. It was definitely a dorm room (2 twin beds) that we were staying. Our room had a balcony overlooking Arthur's seat, so it was quite nice. It could use some deep cleaning though. However, the reception was friendly. The included breakfast was surprising good in taste and quantity, albeit not so much in presentation. If you know what you are expecting, then all is well. And yes, elevator for some reason didn't stop on the ground floor with our key card. The only way to fix it was to walk up one floor and take the elevator to the third floor :). Fortunately it was not an issue for us but it could have been for those who suffer from limited mobility...

“Halpa, eikä ole niin iloinen”

Moderni on erinomaisella paikalla, Arthur's Seatin jalka on osa syytä poimia sitä kiireisen vuoden aikana, kun ususal hotelli ei ollut saatavilla. Saapuessaan vastaanotto oli iloinen ja tarpeeksi järjestetty, runsaasti suuntaa huoneeseen ja helppo kävelee puistossa. Kuitenkin, kun neuvottelivat tur… lisää

Moderni on erinomaisella paikalla, Arthur's Seatin jalka on osa syytä poimia sitä kiireisen vuoden aikana, kun ususal hotelli ei ollut saatavilla. Saapuessaan vastaanotto oli iloinen ja tarpeeksi järjestetty, runsaasti suuntaa huoneeseen ja helppo kävelee puistossa. Kuitenkin, kun neuvottelivat turvajärjestelmästä elektronisella avaimella (nämä ovat normaalisti opiskelijoiden asuinpaikkoja) pääsemään rakennukseen ja nostaaksemme ylöspäin, avain ei toimi ovessa. Joten minun piti mennä takaisin kaikkiin vastaanottoasuntoon, vai pitäisikö he korvata avain. Rakennus oli, se oli, opiskelija majoitus, puhdas, perustiedot. Kuitenkin jotkut alamäet, sängynni creaked huonosti, ja signage jätti paljon toivomisen, nuolet osoittavat huonetta, mutta mitään osoitus siitä, miten jättää buidng. Yhdistettynä hissillä olevaan vikaan, mikä tarkoitti sitä, että sitä ei voitu kutsua yläkerrasta, tarkoitti neuvottelemista rakennuksen toisesta osasta, jälleen ilman merkintää poistumisesta. Aamiainen oli konferenssin centtre, buffet, mutta levyt olivat kylmiä. Illallinen oli ollut baarissa, erittäin mukava ja runsaasti. Pleasant perusteet ja bery miellyttävä henkilökunta, monet näyttivät olevan opiskelijat.

“Great place but the elevators do not work most of the time.”

The place is calm and clean. The staff is kind and helpful. But the elevators (the lifts as they say in Scotland) do not work most of the time. The one at the main entrance did not work for many days. Now, it stops working at 4h30. I have very bad knees, and I have to use the stairs to reach the th… lisää

The place is calm and clean. The staff is kind and helpful. But the elevators (the lifts as they say in Scotland) do not work most of the time. The one at the main entrance did not work for many days. Now, it stops working at 4h30. I have very bad knees, and I have to use the stairs to reach the third floor where my room is. I brought the problem to the attention of the staff. The powers that be improved the situation for two days. So: if you have mobility problems, avoid Chancellor Court or stay on the first floor.
