Q
The Keel Houses is definitely the best choice for me. The entire apartment is not that big but warm and cozy enough. The staff here are so warm and thoughtful. My room is also enjoying a beautiful view of the city.

Overall very happy after my first month and a bit at the keel houses, staff are very friendly and accommodating and the location is excellent for my Uni travel. Wired Wi-Fi is excellent however wireless is temperamental. Not the most active social space, which is fine for me as a MA student but may not be the best fit for some.

My stay at this accommodation has generally been a very positive experience all things considered. I think that for the price of the accommodation, it is worth it (especially considering the available space I get in my room). I am not too worried about developing a strong sense of community at this accommodation since I have that at my university, but if you are looking for a place that prioritizes the social experience this may not be the best fit for you.

The staff here are great and super helpful. The location is perfect, not too busy but still just a 10-15 min walk from all the main attractions and shopping places.

A very great living experience! I was very impressed with the location of the flat and the perfect view of the canal and had many great moments! The friendly and responsible staff Dani, Sofia and Louise greeted me warmly every time we met! Definitely don't miss this brand new and exquisite flat!

This student residence is a hidden gem near a picturesque canal adorned with vibrant graffiti. Safety is a top priority, ensuring a secure haven for residents. With an array of dining options, proximity to the Cameo cinema, and Tepin for billiards, entertainment and leisure are always at your fingertips. Bennets provides the perfect setting for unwinding with a beer. Shared kitchens foster a sense of community, and the ping pong table adds a fun element. In essence, it’s not just a residence; it’s a vibrant community that combines artistic surroundings, diverse dining, and recreational amenities for an exceptional living experience.

The accommodation is incredibly beautiful, from the rooms to the social spaces. Everything is kept well and maintained properly. If there are any concerns, the staff are super kind and helpful with everything you could enquire about. Overall I'd say it's incredible. Another thing I love about living here is that it's quiet, you can't hear your neighbours when you're in your room which is very convenient for students who are always busy with work.

The Keel Houses are a great building in an ideal location — in front of a beautiful canal and walking distance to many great amenities, parks like the Meadows and the central campus of the University of Edinburgh. The staff is great and super helpful!
