I just have to say how much I love living at Gateway Apartment. The location is perfect—just a quick walk to campus makes it super easy to get to class or grab a coffee with friends. Plus, there are plenty of grocery stores and parks nearby, which is a big plus for daily life. The apartment itself is really nice. I’ve got a spacious room with lots of natural light and a kitchen that’s great for cooking. The common areas, like the lounge and study rooms, are perfect for hanging out or getting some work done with roommates. What really sets Gateway apart is the community vibe. The management team is friendly and always ready to help out if you need anything. They also organize events that bring everyone together, which has helped me make a lot of great friends. I also feel safe here, thanks to the secure access and good security measures. Overall, living at Gateway has been a fantastic experience, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay while studying.

The apartment is very nice and quiet. The neighborhood is convenient for transportation and shopping. It's a ten-minute walk to Princes Street. The front desk of the apartment is very friendly and often organizes events and parties with free breakfast, pizza and more. It is also very convenient to sign for express delivery, and the front desk staff will help to put several express deliveries of the same person into categories and put them away, which is very convenient for me to find.

Currently in a studio which is very spacious and has a good amount of storage space. I generally keep to myself so can’t comment on social events. The laundry facility is functional and straightforward to use and the gym, cinema room and study rooms seem nice. Overall, I’m quite happy with the flat as it has all the essentials and is in a nice location.

Gateway apartments, so far, has been great. The team is friendly and easy to interact with. I stay in a studio and there is ample space in the studio to have different sections for your tasks during the day (studying, food, entertainment, and sleep). It is really great to have on-site study rooms and gym which can be accessed 24*7. A great budget saver if you were planning on getting external gym membership. Lastly, the cute cats on the property are always nice to watch when sitting out in the open area.

You can tell attention has been paid while designing the room, which allows you to use the small space wisely! The quality of the ventilation system is excellent. I like that the room has a window wall, wood flooring, and white, not yellow lighting - it would be great if the sofa and wall paint were regularly updated. More than five stars would be given to the staff! The staff is incredible, always ready to listen, help, and take action, making your living experience more convenient and giving you a sense of home!

Too noisy from both neibourghoods and streets. I heard strange bumping noise throughout my whole stay. I have reported with lots of records of the sound but they said they are not sure about the noises so they cant be fixed. Its way too noisy to rest. Really bad experince which made me feel not worth the amount of the rent. Worse than my last accomodation which was cheaper and much more better. Besides, everytime i use the washing machine, there must be an issue comes out. Eitherthe machine is not enough or it takes in money but not working. And the problems are not sorted by the reception. Dont recommond!

I would recommend Gateway Apartments especially for those who needs relaxing and peaceful place to feel fully rest, since uni accommodation can be overwhelmingly crowded with number of residents. The apartment is located close to center of the city yet in relatively peaceful neighborhood. There are several supermarkets within 3-15 min walk distance including an Asian supermarket. The room is spacious but not too big that it’s easy to keep it tidy. The property has small studying rooms, a gym room and a cinema room. I heard my friends had to pay quite a lot for university gym membership so this is a good place if you use the gym often. Also staffs are always friendly and helpful.

I have lived in Gateway Apartments for the whole duration (5years) of my studies. Firstly, the management is so friendly and supportive and care about the students experience and wellbeing. They always try to find ways to make our experience better, whether that is by hosting events, having disney+ subscription in the cinema room for us to use and more! The room itself (studio) is spacious and modern, great for a student. Overall, an amazing experience would recommend!!

I plan on living here for thé rest of my studies. From everything I’ve heared from friends and fellow students, this must be one of the best student accommodations in Edinburgh!

Beyond being conveniently located and a really pretty and comfortable place to stay, what really shines is how Taylor, Dave and Steve run a super tight ship. They're always ready to lend a helping hand and keep things up to date and fixed. They're communicative, friendly and prompt, but they're also do their best to be flexible and figure things out well.

Taylor (the staff) is awesome. Everything is great except for the occasional silverfishes on the ground floor.

The price is a bit expensive. Internet seems not working all the time I'm not sure if it is only my problem. There is no security station at the building after office hour. Considering the amount of money I pay each month I don't think it is worthy.

The staff here are amazing and great. They are understanding and really kind to everyone. The rooms are fantastic with safety checks. My most thanks to Taylor and Steven, the staff at the reception, especially Taylor, who has done so much for me during my difficult time, and has been just so helpful. I can't imagine how worse my condition could have been without their understanding and so many support. I'll also miss the lovely cat. Thank you so much and good luck!

the apartment has a good location. The common areas in the reception are good. Although it's close to the street, it's quieter than I'd expect.

The Gateway Apartment is suitable for student to live as it is near the city center. I would like to recommend it to my friends as it is really worth the price to live in a studio apartment and also the social experience is great.

I enjoyed my year at Gateway apartments. The staff are very friendly, and helped me with lots of things over the year. I am leaving next year to live with some friends, but I would definitely consider coming back to Gateway, seeing as the standard is quite good. Cheers, Alex

I’ve had some problems with management but the team has since switched and seems to be more on top of things. Other than that this place is good although mostly international students and not the most social.

Although my stay was mostly lead by the lockdown and the local regulations i still loved my stay. I was extraordinarily welcomed by the staff who helped me throughout my stay. Although at some point my room seemed a bit small, the shared spaces in the flat and the quality of social spaces helped to change my scenery. The only issue is the price of the sets offered to furnish the room or kitchen appliances... Too many towels, a stone bathroom bin, very high quality which is unecessary for a "short" stay... However, if you stay for a while, thats perfect and you won't regret it as it is still very convenient ...! It is perfrectly located with buses 2 minutes away max and it only takes 20 to reach Princes Street by foot. Convenient, warm and new, you'll enjoy your stay !

I have been living here for more than a year now and I would stay for longer. The staff is really amazing, super nice, supportive and always happy to help. The accommodation is located near the city centre (walking distance) with access to the airport by bus and tram. I really like Calton Hill which is 2 minutes walk from the location. The staff also organised (before the pandemic) socials, so that was a good opportunity to meet other students.

Really nice, spacious studios with excellent heating, tap water is sufficiently warm and the water in the shower becomes hot instantly. The place was well cleaned when I first moved in and the hallways and common area are kept clean as well. Lots of storage space with beautiful full-length windows, so the room is always brightly lit. The team tries their best to arrange virtual social activities even in these trying times, and the staff are very friendly and helpful as well. All in all a great experience, would highly recommend renting from them!

The moment I stepped into my room I felt great! Going to study abroad is a big deal and especially during a global pandemic. Having such a nice studio with an amazing view made me feel good and home during the self-isolation. The location is perfect, not near the Uni but a perfect walking distance and beautiful too! David, Lindsay and Brian made me feel welcome and helped me with many queries. They came up with activities during these weird times where you can win some cool stuff! Unfortunately, the gym was not always open due to the restrictions. I think the price quality ratio is okay.

The flats are new and not great value for money. Although, not the closest to the University of Edinburgh, the location was still pretty good with a lot of transport options and many shops in the area. There was little social life with residents and if you wanted friends there, you would have to find them in the city or on campus. The Wi-Fi routinely disconnected and often for a couple of hours, but once a full day. The cell signal is terrible so if there is no wi-fi you are often bored inside or have to go outside to get reception. They did not even offer to refund some of the money if students wanted to leave early because of Covid, although in Scotland, a months notice is all that is required to leave. Furthermore, they reduced their services. Rooms weren't clean on arrival but don't bother cleaning because they will still charge you to do basically nothing. I found food from the last tenant, so they definitely did not clean well. Would not recommend.
