Brae house is great, the staff are so lovely and stuff gets fixed very quickly. Internet is very good. Only down side is that it's a bout a 30-minute walk to George square and a 40 minute walk to ECA. But it's a pretty walk up the Royal Mile none the less.

All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation
What tenancy length do I need?
Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.
Should I stay in catered student accommodation?
This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.
What is a guarantor and do I need one?
A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.
Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?
Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.
What bills will my rent include?
If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.
What is purpose-built student accommodation?
Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.
Will my student accommodation be furnished?
Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.
Read Brae House Reviews
always work being done outside or in the halls so very loud when trying to revise. bad social life and location
I lived at Brae House, and would say that you get more for your money if you have the bigger room - as the standard rooms are decent sized but the larger room is more spacious and open. The location of BH was annoying sometimes as it was a hefty walk up the mile to GS but it was also only a 17 minute walk to St James Quarter, with that being said, there is only 1 bus that runs near BH which is generally full and usually late. My flat was luckily not a dirty or messy flat however when I lived at BH, I have only seen the cleaner come in about 4 times in the space of 8 months. The wifi was decent, when it was working - normally quite fast but sometimes, maybe about once a month or so, the wifi would not work for a few hours, there was also a time where the wifi wasn't working for 4 days but it was soon resolved with clear communication from reception.
