Just 10 minutes’ walk from the University of Edinburgh campus, Chalmers Street is set in a beautiful part of the city, overlooking the Meadows and just a short walk from Edinburgh Castle and old town.

The 251 rooms here offer a range of options, from rooms in shared flats (with or without your own private bathroom) to self-contained studios where all the facilities are just for you.

Chalmers Street backs onto the Meadows, so you already have an enormous green space to enjoy. But this property also has a lovely private garden accessible via the ground floor common room. Inside, you’ll find a free pool table, sofas, a TV, and a secluded study area.

With a UNESCO World Heritage site right on your doorstep, you’ll feel like a wide-eyed tourist for at least your first semester. But you’re also close to places like Bruntsfield, Morningside, Southside, and Newington - all bursting with character, coolness, and great places to eat, drink, shop, and live like a local.
