Above all, the thoughtful design ensures you have a true sense of privacy and independence while still being part of a thriving community.
All bills and high-speed Wi-Fi included
To simplify your finances, your rent includes all utility bills, so you won't have to worry about managing multiple payments for electricity, gas, or water. Plus, we provide high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the building to keep you connected, whether you're streaming lectures, working on a project, or video calling friends and family.
On-site amenities and great transport links
We believe in a balanced student lifestyle, which is why we offer a fantastic range of onsite amenities. For instance, our private gym helps you stay active, the communal lounge is a great place to hang out with friends, and our peaceful courtyard provides a perfect spot for fresh air. We also provide secure bike storage for your convenience.
For an added travel bonus, we are found less than half an hour away from Edinburgh Waverley Train Station. So, you can hop on a train and explore everywhere else that Scotland has to show you.
Book with confidence
Your peace of mind is our priority. Therefore, we offer a flexible booking policy to protect you from unexpected circumstances. Our 'No Place, No Pay' ensures that if you don't secure a place at a university in the city, or if your course is cancelled, you can also cancel your booking with no financial penalty.
For any questions or concerns, our helpful onsite management team is here to help. In addition, with modernised surveillance and a secure entry system, your safety is always a top priority. We're dedicated to making your student journey a success and helping you build new friendships in a welcoming and supportive environment.
