When I arrived at Portsburgh, Victoria checked me in. She was extremely friendly and instantly struck up conversation with me and my mom. When I see her in reception she always greets me with a smile. My room is very homey, and I'm enjoying my stay! I've already recommended this place numerous times to friends and I am excited to continue my stay throughout my studies.

I love this place. The room is clean, bed comfortable, staff super friendly. I visited in June, so only students were allowed to stay there. Other residents are quiet and respectful. The common kitchen is hardly used and very clean. The laundromat was a huge plus during my stay.

I spent two nights at Student Roost – Portsburgh Court in Edinburgh and I truly recommend it. A special thank you goes to Luisa, who was incredibly helpful and welcoming, always open and flexible with all my requests. Her support really made my stay even better. The atmosphere in the residence is very relaxing, the rooms are extremely quiet and furnished in a minimal yet tasteful way. Everything was very clean, which I greatly appreciated. A special mention for the common room in the basement near the laundry: a warm and cozy space that really makes you feel at home. Recommended both for short stays, like mine, and for longer periods, especially for students. I’d happily come back.
