Overall, Id recommend somewhere else being a postgraduate. The management was like speaking to a brick wall. The bathroom has black mold running up the wall. The kitchen had burned holes into the counter from I guess when it was an undergraduate dorm that never got fixed. My flatmates were honestly a nightmare. Its postgraduate, but don’t be fooled. If youre looking to focus on your studies and not lose sleep from partying and being miserable from the lack of cleanliness and consideration MAKE SURE you reach out about the ages of the people in the flat. Im 27 and got stuck with people in their early 20s acting like they were fresh out of high school. We also had an undergrad in our flat even though the whole building was supposed to be postgrad only. The Internet was pretty good though so thats a plus! There is a garden but often people smoke next to the door which drifted into my window on the 2nd floor. Our elevator was broken the whole time too. There’s no excuse for that.

Q
Hello,
I will be staying at Ratcliffe Terrace from September this year as a student of University of Edinburgh. I have a query - is it possible for my husband to visit me there and stay over (Friday, Saturday nights) every other week in a month?
Thank you for your response. Best, Lenka K.

Amazing Experience! Ratcliffe Terrace was recently converted from postgraduate to undergraduate accommodation. This means the rooms were much bigger than the other student accommodation. There are 2 bathrooms on each floor of the house – one with a shower and the other with a bath/shower. There is a communal area and kitchen on the ground floor (plus an extra w/c) and 6 rooms downstairs. The remaining 8 rooms are upstairs. I lived in the 14-person flat which was great for social gatherings. The only downside of the accommodation was that there was only really one communal area is the available for the whole set of flats. The accommodation is about a 15/20-minute walk from George Square Library and the central University of Edinburgh buildings as well as Kings buildings. The overall atmosphere of Ratcliffe Terrace was friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend this accommodation to others!
Couldn’t ask for a better place, would give six stars if I could.
Good accom all round, nice location and good social experience
