A good accommodation with convenient position and supermarkets nearby. The only problem is the unstable network (can be solved by connecting with network cable :D Demi and Jennifer on reception are very helpful and make the building feel like home

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.

I am enjoying my stay at Mayfield, especially the fact that it is located super close to King’s Buildings where I am normally at for my studies. I also love the room layout which provides sufficient space for me to organise my belongings. Both the desk and bed are spacious. The insulation is also rather good as I normally do not need to turn on the heater. The stove and microwave-oven are also easy to use. Also, all of the staff at Mayfield (Jennifer, Demi, Jolanda, Keith) are all very friendly and helpful :)

I stayed at Prestige Mayfield for just over a month. I had taken over a contract from another student. I found the handover and booking process smooth. Checking in was hastlefree too. The room was cleaned by the former resident, so there were some issues. E.g. the shower drain was blocked and the oven was dirty. But when I asked the receptionist to clean them, they did it for me, so I am very grateful. In future, I would recommend that they do these checks before the re-let student checks in The studio room which I had, was spacious. It had a smart TV, which was amazing to disengage after a long day. The rooms have ample lighting, multiple storage options and decent ventilation. The rooms are private and quiet. I feel the overall experience of living there was great. One 20-25 minute bus drive to George Square campus of the University of Edinburgh. Close to shopping centres and grocery stores. And the check out and deposit refund process was fast and hassle free too.

Close to Cameron Toll and bus stops for routes 7, 31, 37, and 47, making transportation and shopping convenient. The reception is friendly, and the room is clean and new. However, due to road construction in front of the building, deliveries and takeaways are not very convenient. There are occasional issues with electricity and WiFi, so it is advisable to bring your own router if possible. Overall, I am satisfied.

This dorm is only about 100m from the King’s Building. It is convenient to students studying here. There is also a Cameron shopping mall near by, and the safety is not a concern. The problem is the WiFi here always goes down, and it happens quite regularly. And sometimes the garbage stored in the refuse area doesn’t get cleaned on time.

The location is very close to KB campus, which is very convenient for classes, and there are large shopping supermarkets around, which can meet daily needs. The staff is very friendly, often organizes various activities, and the public areas are cleaned very well. The room facilities are very new and full, and the space is spacious. The overall accommodation experience was great!

There are two big problems. One is the bad WIFI connection. Although the staffs have been trying so hard to contact with relevant companies, the WIFI is still bad now. The other one is the power cut due to the construction beside, but it does not happen very often and the power would come back soon.

Super convenient location, you’re not going to beat that. Wish that the gym was ready this year- that would add to the convenience. Maybe even a little coffee machine/vending machine for 24/7 basic foods/milk etc as the shops are great but a bit of a walk when it’s wet (and they shut at 10). Also I know this sounds strange but it would be great if we could buy a shopping trolley for the building - to bring the weekly shop back with and/or for when moving stuff around the property and moving in/out. Lovely staff - somebody give these guys a promotion!

perfect place for science and engineering students at the University of Edinburgh due to its locations, its literally like a 7-10 minute walk to the heart of the King's Building campus. The rooms are great, the administration is great and they host various event every month within the property as well, such as Movie nights etc I loved my experience and would highly recommend it
