It served its purpose. Good: Everything was new and in good shape, it was quiet, private bathroom, and near several bus stops and a grocery store. Not so great: Half of the plugs weren’t working, there was no rubbish bin in the room, the floors needed a good sweep. There was no access to the kitchen, which meant no tea and no filling a water bottle. Having booked through Expedia, and with no on site folks except for check in, I’m not sure how I could communicate any big problems if they had come up. None of these were deal breakers. It was a private, safe place for a good price.

Great for a bed and bathroom facilities. Shame there’s nothing to facilitate a coffee in the morning. If you’re staying here then definitely pack an electric travel kettle and some coffee sachets.

This is a student accommodation building that is empty during the uni break. It's around 25 minutes away by bus from the city centre/waverly station, and quiet empty nearby. The bus stop is 4 minutes by walk from the place. There's a McDonald's nearby that's open late, and an Asian grocery store downstairs. It's a great place if you want to visit during the Fringe, as there's not a lot of places within the city that are at this price or quiet enough to sleep. But even then it was a bit expensive just to sleep. The mattresses are lumpy and worn out, the linen dusty, the floor not vacuumed enough, but if you are walking all over the fringe, what you need is a bed to pass out in a quiet room and that's there. There's no one to open your door if you lose the key, and they want to charge you money to bring another a person who lives in the same building to unlock it for you. The check in and check out was smooth, and the student representative was quite helpful. I would live here again but for not more 3/4 days when all I need is a bed to crash.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
There was literally no one to speak to and no one to attend to your needs. All they did was to rent out a room with absolutely no amenities rather than a bed and a chair and towels. No hand wash liquid, no trash bin or pastic bag to collect your trash, no hanger to hang your clothes, no fridge, no water. And there was no number to contact. I put them a message on Expedia portal, no response. The water in bathroom was too hot and the temperature could not be adjusted. Waste water got stock while taking a bath. Stains on the sheets. Overall zero quality for the money paid. The area where the hotel was also very poor.

Bed was not clean upon arrival, complained each day and messaged here on the app. And no response has been made even now after the booking! All surfaces had not been cleaned properly including the chair which was full of dust. Could feel the bed springs from the top of the duvet And the shower was blocked and had a swimming pool in the room for more than 24 hours from the blocked shower. Even after reporting this - Nothing was done about it. Dreadful

Access to buses great. Due to hard flooring and fire doors with self closers unfortunately, quite noisy within the building. Not all occupants remembered the 10pm 'quiet'. As rooms are only ventilation from one small windows overheating when room faces sun could be problematic. No formal reception so must check in between 3-5:30pm otherwise there will be delays getting to your room.

Better than reviews

Well it is student accom so I didn’t expect much but it was actually much better than the reviews. Clean, comfortable, lots of storage, and check in was easy. Bus ride from the city and useful. Only negatives were 1. No bin and you are supposed to take your rubbish outside 2. No kettle and no way of obtaining a hot drink 3. The shower, tho fine, didn’t drain properly. But all in all was a useful place to stay and a better price than most during the Fringe

First up the good about this place. The check in with Ryan was very smooth at 15:00. I went to my room, found it, found that my blackout blind would go down but not up and that I had no toilet roll. So I go downstairs and tell Ryan, he tells me to message the management, so I did. This went ignored, so I have had a broken blackout blind all holiday. My friend gave me a toilet roll as she had multiple (thankfully). The room is mostly functional, beds ok,.not great but I wasn't expecting great for the price point. Even when you sent me then "are you ok" message after the three I had sent you and you had ignored I still didn't get a response so one star for communications too. Bathroom shower plug was mostly blocked which let the water out at a snails pace.which is why you have one star for cleanliness. So yeah other than that, if you can work through the defects in the room and it's lack of cleanliness you can have a realitivly comfortable stay here which is Why I give this place two stars.

Dirty - Over Priced - Not Worth the Money

Bed was super uncomfortable; felt like I was sleeping downhill. Had to attach the blind to the frame as it was lying on the window sill. Property advertises WiFi but don't tell you what the WiFi network or password is and they don't answer messages to provide it. Not worth the money and almost criminal they raise the prices the way they do simply because there was a concert in town.

Usually I would agree with ‘you get what you pay for’ but in this case, I didn’t even get that. When I checked in I found out that despite it being advertised, guests cannot access the communal kitchen so that instantly increased how much I’d be paying on take away and restaurants. The bed had hair in it. The floor hadn’t been hoovered in what looked like months. The shower didn’t drain. The sink didn’t drain. I was given one roll of toilet roll for 8 days. There was no cleaning daily or at all during my stay. The door was broken. The lock on the door didn’t work. The communication from Mill House was non existent. When I rang I was told to email, my emails went unanswered. Thankfully, though they’re not meant to be involved, the staff working for the student halls addressed the hinge on the door, replaced the batteries in the lock and fixed the drains. I borrowed their Hoover to clean the floor in my room. I fully realise that this was an affordable option for the Fringe but the basics should be addressed and the communication was shocking.

Power to the people

The stay was generally good. However, the ppwer sockets didnt work. Had to find the fusebox in the kitchen/ communal room to reset the circuit breaker. Coincidentally, this reset the hallway lights and the kitchen lights. Contradictory to electrical and building regulations. Good job i got to the kitchen because the next day it was deemed out of bounds.

Avoid staying here.

Don't stay here. False advertisment. It says there is a shared kitchen but reality guests are not given access to the kitchen. I talked to the managers and they refused to rectify the situation. The hallways have trash and dirt. The mattress as horrible. The drains need to be snaked. The good things inckude solid internet and access to buses. The park nearby is lovely. If you are looking for something similar, Edinburgh College Residence is much better.

Room was dusty and there were a few bugs in the room (including 1 in the bed). Didnt get check-in information until after i had arrived at the building. Day before departure, got an email to say i was to vacate the room by 10am, despite booking confirmation saying it was 11am. Found out from check in information that because i had an ensuite room, i could not use the kitchen (the main reason I had booked this accommodation).
