Destiny Student Meadow Court - Campus Accommodation

Overpriced room with paper-thin walls.

位置比較偏僻

We booked at Meadow Court because it was the only place I could find in August in Edinburgh that was within walking distance of the Fringe Festival and wasn't going to break our budget. It's made very clear when you book you're staying in student housing. And for student housing, it's really nice- very clean, room is a decent size, and there were enough bathrooms so that when someone took over the bathroom closest to us for an hour-long shower (dude, whoever you were, not cool), I was able to find an available one easily. The room was warm; opening the window was enough for us, but others might want to take advantage of getting a fan at check in (for a deposit). You have to rent towels if you don't bring your own, but they let you know that ahead of time and it's not a lot; the extra space in my backpack was worth the $. Communication with the facility ahead of time is excellent and you can check in online before arrival so the actual physical check-in process is a breeze (and the desk staff were SOOOO nice; we really enjoyed chatting with them). The bed was a captain's bed, so it was hard, and the pillow was very thin, but I slept fine (my roommate was a little sore the 2nd day, so if you need a plusher bed, this may not be the place for you). If you don't need an elevator, and are the kind of sightseers who leave in the morning and don't get back until you're ready for bed, this is a very economical way to stay in Edinburgh, especially to see the Fringe Festival. It's for over 18s only, so not a family option, but I would certainly stay there again if traveling solo or with other adults. There's a kitchen available; we didn't use it as we were gone all day anyway, Oh! And The Meadows made for a beautiful stroll in the morning on out way to go do things; very nice having that so close.

Cheapest place available to us during the Fringe but surprisingly good. Sharing 2 bathrooms with the 5 rooms in our flat was not ideal but that is reflected in the price. The shared kitchen wasn't an issue as all we did was a light breakfast and made tea. The room was more than adequate, modern and very clean (as was the shared bathroom which was constantly cleaned). Staff were very helpful and friendly. We would certainly go back due to the good value.

I stayed in this accomodation for 2 nights. Friendly and excellent service from all staff. If you travel with limited budget, meadow court is one of the best options. The toilets and bathrooms are shared but the facilities and very clean and tidy. Overall, this is an excellent accomodation if you want to have a temporate stay.

Near Summer Hall Venue for shows. Good bus links near a Sainsburys and local cafes plus pub and park nearby. Not keen on shared bathroom but good sized shared kitchen with fridge and washing machine so you do not have to bring your clothes home dirty.
