Eric
Conveniently located with easy access to the city center and airport. The check-in process was well-organized and the staff at the front desk were friendly and helpful. The room was quiet and provided a comfortable stay.
The cleanliness of the room was not up to standard. The towels and bedding had stains on them, and the mattress and duvet sheets were not fitted properly.

Ron
The price was incredibly affordable, making it a budget-friendly option for my Easter getaway. Additionally, the staff were friendly and helpful, making the check-in and check-out process a breeze. The location was also convenient with easy access to key attractions and a nearby supermarket for any necessities.
The cleanliness left much to be desired, with dirty carpets and food stuck on walls and doors. The shower had drainage issues, taking hours to drain and only allowing for short showers.

Good location, close to major attractions and easy to access. Friendly and helpful staff.-Affordable prices compared to other options in the area.
Extremely small and uncomfortable beds, not suitable for two people. Inadequate cleaning, with stains on the bed and the need to ask for cleanliness.

My friend and I recently stayed at the College Residence in Edinburgh and we found the staff to be incredibly pleasant and accommodating. They made sure we felt welcome and attended to any requests we had. The location of the residence was also very convenient, allowing us easy access to the city center and even the beach. The free parking was a major bonus for us, as finding parking in the city can be a hassle. The building itself was fairly clean and the room, although small, was adequate for a single person. The en suite bathroom was clean and the towels and shampoo provided were a nice touch. The presence of CCTV cameras in the corridors added an extra sense of security. Despite some minor drawbacks, such as the small bed and lack of certain amenities, the basic accommodation served its purpose. I would recommend the College Residence for those looking for a convenient and budget-friendly option in Edinburgh.

Friendly staff and helpful reception. Adequate room size and clean en suite bathroom.- Free Wi-Fi access and car parking included.
Faulty key fob and difficulty accessing the room. Small bed in a poorly maintained room with stained walls.

Jade
The staff were very helpful and friendly, both before and during my stay. The building was basic but fairly clean, and the room was adequate in size for a single person. The en suite bathroom was small but clean, and towels and shampoo were provided. There was a large wardrobe with drawers, a spacious desk, and plenty of electrical sockets in the room. I also appreciated the free Wi-Fi access and car parking available at the hotel.
One major drawback was the lack of information and instruction sheets about the accommodation, such as the communal kitchen, laundry setup, and internet access. This made it difficult to navigate such a large accommodation complex.

The value for money at the College Residence was great, especially with free parking and Wi-Fi included. The room was basic but clean, with a comfortable bed and plenty of electrical sockets. The location was fantastic, with a bus stop and Morrisons supermarket just around the corner. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay.
The morning meal could use some improvement, maybe more variety or options.
