Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital city is a hub for international students and with its eclectic mix of culture and grand architecture, it is no wonder why the city is so popular!

The city has a wealth of marvellous tourist destinations whether you’re looking for history, monuments, or even just a plain old glass of scotch. It is also home to the renowned University of Edinburgh,  Heriot-Watt University, and Edinburgh Napier University.

Choosing this spectacular location for your study abroad might have been a no-brainer, and our handy guide is here to ensure that finding a place to stay becomes just as hassle-free!

IQ Fountainbridge

It is in an outstanding location – it is situated just a 10-minute walk away from the city centre, so you’ll have a multitude of great bars and restaurants available at your fingertips. On top of this, all of the universities are easily accessible, and it has great public transport links.

Not only is it in a great location, but the interior of the accommodation is very luxurious, and it has sociable communal areas. It offers both en-suite and studio rooms.

Those staying here and studying at the University of Edinburgh can reach there in just 11-minutes of walk while Paterson’s Land is 9-minutes away from the residence.

Nido Haymarket

The accommodation got its name as it is handily less than a 5-minute walk away from Haymarket Station. It is set in the lively West End of Edinburgh, so has a great variety of great bars, shops, and cafés.
