Great accommodation room spacious I could make it a cosy wee pad to complete my studies. I also had the gym on the same floes so gave me a motivation to go. The study room is large and good place to get your work done. I had a great experience with staff always up to help I am now looking forward to staying here next year

This room is a gold en-suite bedroom. Meaning you will share your Kitchen/living space with 3 other people.
Hope that helps!

Great place to stay for any student. Staff are brilliant, and social interaction is great if you’re willing to put yourself out there.
Thanks for leaving such a great review. We are really keen to offer as many opportunities for our residents to socialise if they wish to do so. Dani, The Property Manager

I really like staying here. The location is amazing. The staff is welcoming and ready to help all the time. The room is cosy and I like social spaces and events. We even had cheese and wine evening 😃such a great place to stay
Thank you for such a great review. We really appreciate you taking the time to provide such positive feedback and are thrilled that you are enjoying your stay at The Mill House. Dani, The Property Manager
Really nice rooms in a really nice location - bus travel to other parts of Edinburgh easy with a bus stop right outside the accommodation. Supermarkets are a 2 minute walk away so reslly accessible. Staff are lovely and ready to help with any issues. Rooms are spacious with plenty of storage space. With plenty of events it was really easy to meet and make friends with others in the building and flatmates. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for this lovely review. We are happy you are enjoying your time here at The Mill House. Regards, The Mill House team
wonderful place！large common spaces, modern standard
Thank you for your positive review. Regards, The Mill House Team
Very friendly staff and the accommodation is good value for money.
Thank you for your positve review. We are very happy you are enjoying your time here. Regards, The Mill House Team
Only acceptable as a plan B I’ve been living here for almost 5 months now and I don’t really like this place. Here are the reasons: - The draining system in the shower is THE WORST I’ve seen in my life. The water just never easily goes down! In the best case, you have to turn off the water every 30 seconds and wait for the water to go down and then repeat this until you are done with showering. In the worst case, even Mr Muscle won’t work! Even the maintenance person couldn’t fix it and I believe it’s because of the small pipes they’ve use for the building. For your information, whoever I spoke to in the building had this problem! So if you think you can take a relaxing shower after a day of studying, it’s actually going to go on your nerve badly! - The accommodation is on Gorgie Rd. which is a main road and there’s a lot of noise coming from the street. Usually there’s a lot of ambulances, police cars, etc. passing and the noise they make is too annoying (and imagine this happening
Thank you for your feedback, although we are obviously disappointed it is not a bit more positive, we would like the opportunity to work on your concerns as some of the concerns you have raised are likely issues we can rectify. Can you please report the drainage issue to us directly via the Mill House email or come to reception to speak with a member of the team so we can investigate and try and fix the problem. It is not uncommon for there to be times where the drainage needs worked on in any property, which can be the result of a variety of reasons. Without being able to investigate we are unable to come up with a suitable solution. We are situated on a main road, which some of our rooms do face out onto, but we also have rooms available facing onto our courtyard or off the main road. Being on a main road does come with challenges such as it can be a bit noisier due to traffic- Emergency service vehicles do use this road as a route, but we cannot determine the volumn which will be compliant with noise control measures determined by local councils to ensure they access their emergency situation in a timely fashion. There are methods that can help reduce any possible noise. We do have benefits to this location however, such as excellent transport links to all the education providers and the city centre. We are also very close to quieter areas such as Saughton park and the Water of Leith. I hope we have been able to offer positive experiences for your time here, but we are happy to discuss further to help support the remainder of your tenancy with us. Thank you Dani Calder Property Manager
The best student accommodation you can find in Edinburgh with great location and services.
Thank you for such a great review. We really appreciate that kind of feedback and are thrilled that you think so highly of The Mill House. Dani, Property Manager
Great place to live in, social life is amazing.
Dear Member1264226 Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a Review – every one matters! We do enjoy working here as a Team and we are glad you are getting the most out of the social life here at The Mill House. Many thanks, Donna Customer Service advisor
Everyone is really helpful and friendly. WiFi causes an issue sometimes, however, it's fine overall. The location is really convenient, however, it's a wee bit pricey.
Dear Member1364225 Thank you for taking the time to leave us a Review – we feel very rewarded when Students take the time to do this. I’m so grateful you find us helpful and friendly; we are very aware that many are far from home and need a warm and friendly environment, so we do the best we can. I’m sorry you have had a problem with our WIFI. This is news to us, as we have not had a problem other than once during a storm. The Helpline for the Internet Provider is excellent; we have heard nothing but good things from other Students! Your last point speaks for itself; because we are ideally located and our building is large, contemporary and houses Social Spaces, Outside Spaces, Study Space and a Gym, we believe we offer value for money. We are glad to have you! Many thanks, Donna Customer Service Advisor
An excellent location between my University and the city centre. Clean and comfortable place to live with a group of friends. Security are good too.
Dear Member564224 Thank you for taking the time to leave us a Review – each one feels like a wee pat on the back for us and we are grateful! I’m very happy that you enjoy living with us so much. Our Housekeeper does take pride in their job and keeps all of the communal spaces clean and tidy. Our location is a great asset – on the same straight road as Heriot Watt University, Napier University Sighthill Campus, Edinburgh College and in the other direction Edinburgh University; with so many buses right outside the building there’s nowhere in Edinburgh one cannot get to from The Mill House. I’m glad you feel safe and comfortable here. Glad to have you! Many thanks, Donna Customer Service Advisor
The Mill House is overall average except for the location of the property. As it has bus stops nearby as it's relatively close to both the city and uni
Dear Member464223 Thanks for taking the time to leave us a Review – we are grateful. I’m sorry that you find us just “average” when so many others have found us above average in different ways. However, you have hit the proverbial nail on the head referring to our location, as it is one of our best assets. You are right, we are situated perfectly for the Universities and for the centre of town. I’m glad our location has added to your experience as a Student in Edinburgh. We are glad to have you. Many thanks, Donna Customer Service Advisor
Overall, mill house is a great place to live in as it is located at a nice location, accessible by nearby bus stop
Dear Member764222 Thanks for leaving a nice Review – we are very grateful for every one! I’m so glad to hear you like living here and are enjoying the location – it is ideal and all the buses really help Students to investigate the whole city cheaply and easily. We are glad to have you! Many thanks, Donna Customer Service Advisor
When I moved in here, I actually didn't know much about the place. But when my girlfriend and I started living here, I was so happy with my decision. I honestly love how friendly the staff is, and I really enjoy living here, and I've made amazing friends as well. All in all, 10/10 would recommend a friend!
Dear Gaurav We are so grateful to have you with us! I’m so touched that you find us friendly, as this is a fundamental element of our service here to Students; providing a warm and open place to live. Happy that you are with us! Many thanks, Donna Customer Service Advisor
The office staff are great and helpful and it's placed in a convenient area to get around Edinburgh.

Hello, Thank you for your kind review. This is lovely to read as we really do try to make sure you feel comfortable and at home while staying here with us. Many thanks, Laura Smith Property Manager
I have enjoyed everything so far since I have moved here. The staff have been incredible for helping me settle in considering that it’s the first time I’ve been away from my family.
Hello, Thank you for such lovely words. We are so happy to hear that you have settled in with us now. It can be daunting moving away from home for the first time but we are here to help with that. Many thanks, Laura Smith Property Manager
I have really enjoyed living here so far it’s a enjoyable place to live and meet so many different people
Hello, Thank you for leaving us a review. We have a great mix of students with various backgrounds staying with us here at The Mill House. The people you meet here might become friends for life! Many thanks, Laura Smith Property Manager
The place is conveniently located — there’s an Asian supermarket right next door, an Aldi and a Sainsbury’s a short walk away, and a McDonald’s and Kaspas for days when you aren’t too keen to cook! There are two gyms nearby, and you’re close to Saughton Park if you fancy a walk or some fresh air.
Hello, What an informative review, thank you so much. There are plenty of local conveniences around about us here at the Mill House, Kaspas Desserts is definitely a favourite for a sweet treat. Many thanks, Laura Smith Property Manager
Everything is excellent except the location is a bit far from my campus, the transportation is convenient though. Nice environment, helpful management.
Hello, Thank you for leaving us a review. The bus links around town are very convenient at just a short walk from us and a short journey to your destination. It’s great to hear that you are enjoying living here. Many thanks, Laura Smith Property Manager

Hello, Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review! We are really glad to hear that you enjoy living here and that the team are looking after you. Kind Regards, Rachel Wimberley Customer Service Advisor
The millhouse is in a great location , very clean building , rooms are spacious and comfortable as well as the kitchen/ living area. the staff are amazing, super helpful and accommodating. Would definitely recommend the millhouse.
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review! It is great to hear that you would recommend us- we put a lot of effort into making The Millhouse a home away from home for our students. We are in a great location for several campuses which are close by and also for catching a bus to almost anywhere in the city! Kind Regards, Rachel Wimberley Customer Service Advisor
The staff are super friendly and always happy to help no matter what the issue (personally I had a flat mate issue and they helped me move without any hassle). With Covid19 hitting everyone it's nice to know there is always a friendly face during office hours who you can speak to. Rooms have the perfect amount of storage space, under the bed and in shelving space. The Kitchen is a great space to have a cuppa and chat with your flatmates or to do your work if you don't want to be stuck in your room. The accommodation has a gym, social space and study area. While I have personally not been able to make use of these spaces due to the current circumstances it is still nice to know they are there had this not been the case. We live right on a bus route so easy to get into town I think it takes about 20mins, Aldi is a 5 min stroll down the road and if you are an MGA student like myself the Balgreen Campus is only a 5 Min walk away, perfect if you're running late!
Hello, What a lovely review to read just as my working day is coming to close! Thank you for taking the time to leave such a personal and detailed review, its always heartwarming to receive such great feedback. We do try our very best to make all our residents feel at home within The Mill house and help as best we can in any given situation. Sometimes it is not always possible, but where there is a will theres a way. Please be rest assured that the social spaces and gym are patiently waiting to be re-opened again once restrictions allow - hopefully by the end of April, fingers crossed. Then the MGA students will have all the space to sing and dance until their hearts are content. Many thanks, Laura Smith Property Manager
Great location close to city centre,shops and colleges/universities. Rooms are nice also
Hello, Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We are situated in a very good location with lots of local amenities around us, along with good bus routes to Universites and a short distance to the city centre!

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a nice review. We are so glad to hear that you enjoy living with us and it is always so nice to receive positive feedback about the team - we are happy to help! Many thanks, Lauren Lee
Good although we don’t have use of all areas
Hello, Thank you for taking some time to review your experience here at The Mill house. In normal circumstances all social areas of the building would be open 24/7, however in order to keep everyone safe during this current pandemic we have kept these closed as per Scottish Government advice. Hopefully restrictions will be eased shortly and these areas can then be re-opened. Many thanks, Laura Smith Property Manager
nice rooms, very spacious. unrealistic price due to covid restrictions.
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to review your experience of living at The Mill House. As per Scottish Government guidance we have closed our social spaces in order to keep our residents safe and minimise the spread of Covid-19. I can appreciate this is frustrating for you, however I am confident we will be able to open these spaces in the coming months once lockdown restrictions begin to lessen. Many thanks, Laura Smith Property Manager
The accommodation is very nice and spacious, however I do not believe it is worth the amount of rent per month. I think that we should have had a reduced rent due to the fact that we are not permitted to use any social spaces. Location is good for Napier Campus with many good bus routes.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Our location is very handy for many of the local Universities and Lothian buses provide such a brilliant service around Edinburgh. As I am sure you can appreciate due to Scottish Government guidelines we are unable to have our gym, study room and social space open - however these are all ready and waiting for when current restrictions are eased! Many thanks, Laura Smith Property Manager
The location of the accommodation is good for being local to everything.
Hello, Thank you for your review. We are located in a great part of the city with plenty of public transport and all the local amenitities you might need. We also have a great view of the city from our top floors. Kind Regards, Rachel Wimberley
Rooms and kitchen are lovely and a nice layout. No comment to be made about social spaces due to coronavirus restrictions however, from view are good quality.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, its always so lovely to receive such positive feedback. As per Scottish Government guidelines we are unable to have our social spaces open at the moment, however they are ready and waiting for when the restrictions are eased! Hopefully it won't be too much longer. Many thanks, Laura Smith Property Manager
Accommodation is good and made good friends here, can’t comment on social spaces because of covid but overall had a great experience
Hello, It's so lovely to hear that you have made friends here, it really brightens your whole experience being able to share it with friends. We hope to have our social spaces up and running again as soon as it is safe to do so and the Scottish Governemnet guidelines allow this. Kind Regards, Rachel Wimberley
Love the accommodation. There is a great ambience and also people who stay here are friendly. The property is value for money for the students.

The room looks pretty great, the only problem I found is that the kitchen is not very good equipped. There is no toaster or kettle, which I think are neccesities.
