Destiny Student - Shrubhill

Hostel

Nice place! Especially for the price. There's a supermarket next door and the city center is on walking distance, about 30 minutes. It's very warm though and no airco. Also the bed is extremely small.

Good place to stay… love the kitchen. Also it has strategic location, near to bus stop/ halte, starbuck, sainsburry and many store.

The room was fairly clean. The location was near bus lines. It was a typical dorm room. It isn't a 4 or 5 star place to stay.

Nice clean compact rooms with a seperate Kitchen for cooking at a cheap price!

Good place good price. But the construction outside could annoy you.

Good if you're alone because the room was tiny. I stayed here for three nights with a friend, and I really had trouble to sleep because the bed was way waaaay too small for two. The rooms are clean, but no ventilation in the bathroom (which was also super tiny) ; the kitchen area was nice.

Very helpful and quick to manage check-in and check-out.

Rooms small as two but in reality they are all read by one and a half square, also in the rooms there is a hot equatorial also the heating off, however it costs a little.

Room was fine, we reserved 5 nights, BUT, the bed was like NO padding and similar to sleeping on a box spring. Worse yet 3 of 4 days we stayed the fire alarms went off & last time for about 20 solid minutes, how do you get out of bed and dressed with your fingers in your ears, we left a day early and forfeited our $ as there we no refunds. Lesson learned “penny wise and pound foolish”

Very clean hostel I could say. No matter the sharing kitchen or bathroom itself in your ownroom. Well sound Isolation isn't that good, but what you Pay is really Worth for the money to stay. 4 rooms share a kitchen, and the kitchen has all what you need and Even BIG FRIDGE. GREAT isn't it?

Over all we enjoyed our stay here. It was easy to get to the city center and the employees were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were hot but there are fans available at the front desk. Our room was facing the busy street but if this bothers you there are earplugs at the front office as well. I'd advice the owners to replace the matress because we could feel the springs.

The rooms are clean and the communal kitchen is well equipped and clean (but in fact it is a bit smaller than it should be). Location is excellent since it is very close to the city centre (15 minutes walking), with easy access to public transportation as well. Additionally, there is a great communal area with TV and a very convenient table tennis table. It is nothing fancy, but the price is certainly worth it.

Great place for big groups. Cleaning could be better. Condition of the walls and seating need attention. Too many fire doors slamming shut. The temperature was too hot in the corridors. Bed was very uncomfortable and small. Shower cubical is too small. But it is very cheap which makes it acceptable.

A hostel of students, which is often not to be mis-priced during the festivals in August.

Modest, but very clean and nice bedrooms.

Low fares but worst hotel ever. Too small, hot and noisy rooms. It is basically impossible to sleep even Because the poorly designed doors of the hotel Constantly slam all day and night long. Not every person of the staff is kind and helpful. We Knew That We Should Have pay $ 5 for the room towels but there was not evean a little soap in the bathroom. We spent 2 nights at this hotel, none came to clean our room. By latest, we kindly asked to print our boarding cards for our flight back delivering it to them inside a usb key, they Told us they could have printed it only if we had sent it by e-mail. I know we lost 20 minutes to come back to our room, connect to their slow Wi-Fi web, send the email to them and then come back down to the front desk to get this boarding card. Stay away from this hotel!

As with all Destiny Students: too many fire doors which slam too loud. There's a small Sainsbury in the same building and a nice Indian Restaurant across the street.

Nothing fancy, but great value for price. The rooms aren't big but there's a large kitchen in every flat and a communal area with TV, games and washing machine. It's above a sainsburys and in front of a bus stop served by night buses, it's a great location to explore the city.

Stayed for the weekend for the Tattoo, nothing to complain about at all, room was clean as was the lounge and kitchen area. We also left a jacket behind which I received back this morning. Thank you very much. If ever we are in edinburgh we will definitely see you again. thank you.

Cheap. Perfect for a short stop.

It's the first time in my life that I pay for a room for two people and actually is a room for one person. It was a memory of my trip to my girlfriend's Erasmus. I wouldn't recommend it, not even to my worst enemy.
