About this property

Straits Place

Welcome to Straits Place, your new home in central Edinburgh. This modern student accommodation provides exceptional value and flexible options in a vibrant, historic neighbourhood, ensuring your time in the city is both comfortable and unforgettable.

Our location is perfect for students at The University of Edinburgh as the main campus is less than a 15-minute walk away. Your daily commute will be quick and easy.

For those attending Edinburgh Napier University and Heriot-Watt University, both are easily accessible by public transport, with convenient bus routes nearby that will make your journey to campus a breeze. This puts you at the heart of the city's academic life while also allowing you to explore everything Edinburgh has to offer.

Our private studio apartments offer a superior living experience. Each one is fully furnished with everything you need, from a comfortable sleeping area to your own personal space for focused study. The thoughtful design ensures you have a true sense of privacy and independence while still being part of a thriving community.

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.

We believe in a balanced student lifestyle, which is why we offer a fantastic range of onsite amenities. 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.

Your peace of mind is our priority. 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. 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.

Honestly, I won't be coming back. I arrived exhausted from my trip to a room that clearly hadn't been cleaned; everything was extremely dirty. (Banana peel under the mattress, filthy floor, dirty toilet, and so on, see attached photos.) After much negotiation with the receptionist, who kept telling me that they didn't handle the cleaning but used an external company and that he couldn't do anything (I was initially told I had to call the cleaning company MYSELF!!!), he finally agreed to call the person in charge of the cleaning company after seeing my photos. And they moved me to another room. The second room wasn't spotless either, but it was a little better. The kitchen facilities in the first room were nothing like those in the second: the second was very well-equipped, whereas the first didn't even have a kettle! So, it really depends on your luck... Furthermore, the room didn't have shutters, just a small white blind that let in all the light, so it was practically empty. So, you don't sleep well at all. Furthermore, when I was looking for my room because I hadn't understood the number the receptionist gave me, my key opened other doors, including one in a room with someone inside, which is not at all safe. There was no toilet paper in the room when I arrived, and the front desk didn't have any either I had to buy some myself! The same goes for trash bags. there is no small lamp on the desk, nor a bedside lamp just rather harsh overhead lights (unlike the photos) There is no Wi-Fi in the building, and no mobile network coverage in the rooms either. It is therefore very difficult to access the Internet something unthinkable for students. The location is pretty good, about 15 minutes by bus from Victoria Lane, which is quite convenient!! The neighborhood is nice and very calm. If you plan to stay here, pay close attention to the cleanliness upon arrival, and bring a sleep mask. But above all, enjoy yourself, because Edinburgh is sublime!!!🏰⭐🦢
