Murrayfield accommodation

Check in was the most disorganised and stressful experience I’ve ever had.
Room was very dirty, lots of fluff and dust. The communal areas - hallway and kitchen also dirty, looked like there was no cleaning done prior to my stay. No rubbish bin provided in room.
Kitchen did not have any amenities, no kettle cups or cookware, I don’t understand why you would advertise kitchen access if there is no possible way to use it.
Bed was extremely uncomfortable, could feel the springs.

I accept that it was student accommodation during The Edinburgh Fringe and that you get what you pay for but the shower tray in one room did not drain and all the mattresses were atrocious. In general the property was clean. My main disappointment was the communication with the property, before and during my stay. 4 messages and 0 replies. I received comflicting emails with regards booking in and booking out. As I said, disappointing.

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.

Staff was friendly and communicative. I didn't really have any issues to speak of while I was there. Bed was comfortable enough. I booked a small room but didn't need space as I was by myself and this was just a place to sleep between day excursions. All in all I was satisfied.

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.

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.
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.

They removed "shared kitcen" from the amenities after my booking and there's no notice about it.
No kettles, no fridges, no microwave.
I did pack my luggage with the thought of using above items so I could not accept.
The location is quite nice, all the buses go to the centre of Edinburgh, there're several supermarkets.
In morning, seagulls are crying and I open the window to get the room cool (no AC,) so I woke up every 4 a.m. That was also horrible.

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.

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).

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.

Satisfying but
I ended up being satisfied with my stay - the facilities are perfect for one person. I tried to get check-in information by the e-mail provided the week before arrival, as I would be arriving late from the airport and wanted to know what to do; after providing my booking number I ended up being asked if I knew where I was staying…? I replied but never got an answer. Only the evening before arrival did I get all the information I was looking for via message on hotels.com - very detailed, but late when you just want to have an abstract before departure. The room is dusty on all surfaces and the bed is very hard.
