Helt okej
Helt okej boende. Handdukar ingår inte. Vi stannade en natt och tyckte det räckte för den standarden, väldigt simpelt men delat kök finns.

Did not get much sleep...
No we did not get much sleep the three nights we lived there. First night there were alot of people shouting, second night the fire alarm went off two Times and it was false alarm, third night Some weird noise woke us up several times. We think it was when someone flushed the toilet the pipes made a weird noise. Sadly it was not a nice experience Living here. It was also dirty and the bed so uncomfortable.

You get what you pay for
If you only intend to sleep in your room and not spend time there it's perfect. The room was hot and we needes to pay £20 for a fan and we had to bring our own towels if we didnt rent two for £6. The overall experience was quite good because we just slept in the room and spend all our other time out in Edinburgh.

10 nights at Destiny Student - Brae House
The price was very good and the location was okay. It was great to have access to a kitchen, but some of the guests didn't clean their dishes. There was unfortunately a lot of things that wasn't good. They didn't clean our room once during the 10 nights we stayed there, they didn't even refill the toilet paper. It was very hard to find the room & locate oneself at the hotel, they need more signs or hand out a map because it was like a maze. People slammed the doors all hour of the day, which made it hard to sleep. Something else that made it hard to sleep, was the very hard bed and the very thin pillows. The hotel & the room was also too warm, even when we had the window open. They don't have any soap on the room to wash your hands with, so you have to buy that yourself. You also have to buy or bring towels. The cleaning staff that cleaned the rooms where someone had checked out couldn't really speak English and went around and knocked on the doors & asked "no room service ", then the person looked in the papers and walked away.. We will not book this hotel ever again, even though the price and location was good.

Billigt men för varmt
Betyget för ett annars snyggt,rent och billigt boende dras ned kraftigt av att de små studentrummen var för varma. Värmen verkade fullt pådragen trots sommaren utanför. Och fönster gick bara att öppna minimalt.

A clean student room
My partner and I spent three nights here for the festival, and it's a clean student accommodation. The good thing is the reception is 24 hours, and the room is clean. Also, it's a walking distance to the most sightseeing spots in Edinburgh. However, the twin bed is difficult for two adults even though I am small. The window is not easy to open, so it's a bit warm in summer. There is no soundproofing in the room, so that you can hear a lot of noise from people slamming the doors all night and in the morning. Finally, maybe we didn't notice any reminders to bring your own towels as they charge £3 per one. And they charge £10 for keeping a suitcase. Also, when we checked in, the late checkout with paying an additional fee was fine; however, while we applied the day before, they changed their policy again, saying they needed time to clean the room. The checkout time is 10 am, which is a little bit earlier. It's more like a better hostel, allowing you to have your own space. But please do not expect it to be a proper hotel.

The most uncomfortable mattress ive ever slept on, the shower didnt work properly, the windows hardly open so its suffocatingly boiling and fans dont do anything. Some of the kitchen items were in disgusting condition. Really glad my student accommodation wasnt like this, but staff are lovely and easy to rent things like hairdryers and towels. Great location.

Had to clean our own room bc it was filthy on day one, had to pay for everything including towels and hand soap and room was either freezing cold or way too hot. The bed also has hairs all over it and the towels (that we paid for) had chunks of other people’s hair in it. They also made us pay extra to store bags before check in - which just feels unnecessary since the room was expensive enough. Ended up leaving early because we couldn’t do it anymore. :/

You get what you pay for
You get what you pay for. Compared to the other places during pride, this is really cheap, but it is one of the most no frills places I've ever stayed at. Definitely the RyanAir of budget accommodation. Want to drop off your bags pre check in, no problem. That'll be £5 per bag. Want a towel, £3 please. Want a bed that's bigger than a 3/4 standard double or a mattress that's thicker than a folded towel? Should've gone somewhere else.

Our beds are all advertised as 3/4 which are small doubles but we hope this did not cause any troubles and you still enjoyed your time in Edinburgh. Sincerely, Destiny Student.

Exactly what I'd expect from campus accommodation. Simple, straightforward, clean enough. Friendly, helpful staff, everything worked. As they say, the rooms do get very warm, and there's not much ventilation, but I was exhausted every night, after a day on the Fringe, so I slept ok (in spite of the other occupants of my flat) being perpetual door-slammers. I don't know if I was just unlucky, but the kitchen (flat 18) had no kettle - everybody was boiling water in a large saucepan, which was all there was. That strikes me as a bit unsafe for pouring into a mug to make tea or coffee.

Dirty Rooms and Infested with Silverfish
We were very disappointed in this booking. My boyfriend and I stayed for 4 days during Edinburgh Fringe Festival and knew our options would be limited. We were expecting a bare bones small place to stay as it is student housing- not a hotel. Our room was not clean (blood on the comforter, clogged shower drain with mildew all over the bathroom, bird poop on the wall by the window) and infested with silverfish. The hotel had no hand soap or disposable towels. (You could rent bath towels which were semi-clean). The hallways were not clean and the ceiling was open in one of the stairwells without proper coverage/cleaning for the crumbling sheet rock. We were told through signage and service not to expect hotel quality service/facilities. However, we paid hotel prices ($150/night) and we’re nickeled and dimed for additional services, such as renting towels. The bed was fine (outside of the lack of clean comforter), the room was a decent size, and there was communal space to hang out in. Everyone was friendly, but not super helpful. I could expect this quality of cleanliness/barebones from a cheap hostel but when we’re paying over $100 a night I expect to get a clean room and hand soap.

Excellent student accommodation in a beautiful location with views of Holyrood Park (depending on your room’s direction of course - I was spoilt in Block B!). Wonderful staff and shared amenities. I would recommend the staff wash/clean the curtains in rooms as a couple silverfish (bugs) fell out when I opened them! Otherwise, a wonderful stay! Thank you so much.

This was a pretty reasonable stay, but if you spend 50 pounds more it is probably worth it to stay at a hotel. Otherwise, super typical student res, plus a few buckets for ceiling leaks on the stair well. The reviews are very accurate, though the room I had was not hot at all, but the hallways were scorching. The nesting birds were extremely loud, that was true… and there are many signs and posters of what to do and not do in the rooms… free shampoo/conditioner/instant coffee, but to rent a towel is a real thing! Our sheets also had mold on them… and things generally felt a bit grungy. All in all… about how the reviews are!

We are sorry to hear that you had a negative encounter with the pricing. Our price range is lower than that of hotels in the city; this is an adjustment made because we are a student accommodation, and it varies depending on the time of year and the booking date; nonetheless, we will make sure to take on the input regarding this topic. Regarding the cost of towels, please note that while we do state that it would be 3 pounds, if you make your reservation directly on our website, we will provide the towels at no additional cost.
