See what other travelers say about Inner Space
This apartment is absolutely fantastic—perfect for travelers looking for a quiet retreat with great charm. The private garden at the back is a real highlight: peaceful, well-maintained, and ideal for morning coffee or an evening unwind. Inside, the space is spotless, beautifully furnished, and thoughtfully designed with modern touches. Communication with the host was quick and friendly—any request was handled promptly, which made the whole experience seamless. It's located just steps away from Waterloo Place, where most tourist buses depart, so getting around Edinburgh is super convenient. While the direct route up from Leith Street is quite steep, the walk via Waterloo Place is much gentler and more pleasant. Overall, this is a top-tier stay with excellent value. Highly recommended for anyone wanting comfort, convenience, and a touch of local character.
Staying at Destiny Student – Murano was a fantastic experience! The location is incredibly convenient—just a short bus ride from campus, and right outside the hostel are supermarkets and plenty of restaurants, so grocery shopping and dining out are super easy. The room is small but perfectly functional, with a comfortable bed that made for a great night's sleep. I brought my own towel and toiletries, which worked out fine, but they also offer basic bath amenities at reception if needed. Compared to other expensive hotels in Edinburgh, this place feels like a breath of fresh air—affordable, clean, and well-located. If I’m back in town for university, I’d definitely choose this again. Highly recommend it for students or budget-conscious travelers!
This little gem in Holyrood is surprisingly well-equipped for a student hostel. The moment you step into your room, make sure to grab any essentials you need—like the small packets of salt and pepper provided for cooking. The kitchen is fully stocked with utensils, pots, and a spacious fridge, though the oven and stovetop were a bit tricky to figure out. Still, with just a microwave and kettle, I managed to heat up pre-cooked meals and cook fresh veggies—everything looked so much better than expected on the plate, and it made the meal extra satisfying. There’s also a self-service laundry facility where you can pick up detergent from reception (I brought my own, so didn’t use it—no idea if there’s a fee). Perfect for longer stays—you don’t need to pack too many clothes. Plus, the front desk can arrange a taxi to the station, which made my journey stress-free. Overall, this place delivers great value and comfort, especially for travelers who want convenience without breaking the bank.
I stayed here for a week and was genuinely impressed with the overall experience. The place is clean, cozy, and well-maintained—exactly what you’d want from a student accommodation in Edinburgh. At first, the mattress felt a bit too soft, but I soon realized it’s a two-sided one, and flipping it made a noticeable difference. That little detail shows how thoughtful the setup is. The surrounding area is super convenient—there are plenty of shops nearby for groceries and essentials, and the kitchen is fully equipped with clean utensils and appliances, perfect for cooking your own meals. Public transport is just steps away: buses and trams run regularly, and it’s only two stops to the city center—ideal for exploring without hassle. The only minor downside is the sound insulation, which isn’t great—but honestly, that’s common across many UK hostels and guesthouses, not unique to this property. Overall, it’s a fantastic value-for-money option with a welcoming vibe and excellent location.
Kick Ass Greyfriars is absolutely spotless—hands down one of the cleanest hostels I’ve ever stayed in. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely safe and welcome. The bathrooms were immaculate, fresh, and well-maintained, which made a big difference to my overall comfort. The staff at the front desk were incredibly friendly and helpful, making check-in a breeze and going out of their way to ensure we had a great stay. The location is fantastic—right in the heart of Edinburgh, just a short walk from major attractions and local cafes. Whether you're traveling solo or with friends and family, this place is a no-brainer. Clean, welcoming, and well-run—definitely a top choice for anyone visiting the city. I’ll be back.
Haystack Hostel is an absolute gem in Edinburgh! The location is unbeatable—just a 3-minute walk to the train station and under 10 minutes to the castle. It’s incredibly convenient for exploring the city on foot. The only minor downside is that you need to carry your luggage up several flights of stairs via a spiral staircase to reach the upper floors—something I wasn’t expecting as my first hostel stay. But honestly, it’s worth every step. I cooked breakfast in the shared kitchen and ended up bonding with fellow travelers over coffee and stories. We even planned our sightseeing trips together—what a great way to make friends while traveling. For the price, the value here is outstanding. If you're looking for a vibrant, social, and well-located base in Edinburgh, this place is a must-stay.
This place is absolutely fantastic! Right in the heart of Edinburgh, it's within walking distance of nearly every major attraction—Old Town, Royal Mile, and even the castle. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, going out of their way to make your stay comfortable. I was especially impressed by how well-organized and clean the hostel is, despite being a 18+ only space. It feels like a cozy, vibrant community rather than just a budget stay. The location is unbeatable—perfect for exploring on foot or hopping on the tram. If you're looking for an authentic, social, and hassle-free experience in Edinburgh, this is definitely the spot.
Stayed at Beaverhall Holiday Apartments and was thoroughly impressed! The unit is brand new, spotlessly clean, and beautifully decorated with modern touches. Located just a 20-minute walk from the old town center, it's super convenient for exploring Edinburgh while still enjoying a quiet retreat. I loved being able to cook my own meals in the well-equipped kitchen—no need to rely on restaurants. The sofa is incredibly comfortable, perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. It’s an ideal choice if you're looking for a home-like stay with great amenities and a peaceful atmosphere. Highly recommend this place for a stress-free, enjoyable visit.
The Loft at Code Co-Living in Edinburgh was an absolute gem. From the moment I arrived, everything felt clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed. The location couldn’t be better—just a short walk from the city center and major attractions, making it super easy to explore on foot. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, always going the extra mile to make sure guests felt welcome. One of my favorite features was having a personal locker in the room—perfect for storing valuables and keeping things secure. I also got incredibly lucky with my roommates: considerate, quiet, and respectful of personal space, which made for some of the best sleep I’ve had on the road. Overall, this place exceeded my expectations in every way—great vibe, excellent value, and a truly welcoming atmosphere. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.
Honestly, just one word: amazing! From the moment I walked in, everything about this hotel exceeded my expectations. The breakfast was outstanding—plenty of variety and delicious quality, with staff who were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. I stayed in room 44, a unique loft-style layout that felt quirky and cool—definitely not your average hotel room. Despite being split-level, it was incredibly quiet, making for a peaceful night’s sleep. I loved the bathroom amenities—they used my favorite brand, Baudruche, and the scent alone made me feel pampered. Granted, the room size isn’t huge compared to some mainland hotels, but considering I was staying in a beautifully preserved historic building right in the heart of Edinburgh, it felt like a real privilege. The location is fantastic—walkable to major sights and super convenient for public transit. Everything about this stay screamed quality and charm. If I ever come back to Edinburgh, this will be my first choice again. A truly unforgettable experience.
From the moment we arrived, the warm hospitality at Kimpton Charlotte Square made our stay in Edinburgh truly special. A huge shoutout to Brian from the concierge team—he was absolutely outstanding! Not only does he speak seven languages fluently, but his knowledge of local spots and genuine kindness made every interaction a pleasure. Whether it was recommending hidden gems or helping with last-minute travel plans, he went above and beyond with a smile. His professionalism and personal touch turned what could’ve been just another hotel stay into an unforgettable experience. The staff’s attention to detail, combined with the charming atmosphere of the hotel, made this place feel like home. I’d highly recommend this gem to any traveler looking for warmth, style, and exceptional service—truly a standout in Edinburgh.
Staying at The Caledonian Edinburgh was an absolute highlight of our trip. Located right at the intersection of Princes Street and Lothian Street, it sits perfectly between Old Town and New Town—just a short walk from the iconic Edinburgh Castle, with views of the fortress from the front door. The hotel itself is a historic building with rich heritage, once visited by legends like Arthur Conan Doyle, which made it extra special for us as devoted Sherlock Holmes fans. The breakfast was a classic English spread, but what stood out most was the waffle served with honey straight from a whole, fresh honeycomb—such a unique and memorable touch. There’s also a beautiful garden restaurant in the atrium, though we were pressed for time and didn’t get to experience it. Still, the atmosphere alone adds so much charm. From the location to the details, every element felt thoughtfully curated. A truly exceptional stay that exceeded expectations.
