Beyond its academic convenience, Student Castle Edinburgh allows residents to experience the remarkable character of Edinburgh.

The city’s skyline is famously dominated by the majestic Edinburgh Castle, which sits atop Castle Rock and serves as one of the most iconic landmarks in the United Kingdom.
Students living in the city also enjoy exploring the historic Royal Mile, a famous street that stretches through the heart of the old town and connects several historic sites, museums, and cultural attractions. Walking along the Royal Mile allows residents to experience centuries of history while discovering local shops, cafés, and traditional Scottish pubs.
Another well-known attraction near the city centre is Arthur’s Seat, an ancient volcanic hill that offers panoramic views of Edinburgh and its surrounding landscape. Many students enjoy hiking to the summit of Arthur’s Seat during their free time, as it provides a peaceful escape from academic routines and offers breathtaking scenery.
The city is also globally famous for its vibrant arts and festival culture. Every year, Edinburgh hosts several international festivals that attract performers, artists, and visitors from around the world. The most famous of these events is the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, which transforms the city into a global stage for theatre, comedy, music, and creative performances.

Beyond the festivals, Edinburgh is home to a rich cultural environment that includes museums, galleries, theatres, and historic landmarks.

These cultural experiences allow students to expand their knowledge and creativity outside the classroom.
The student community in Edinburgh also contributes greatly to the city’s lively atmosphere. Thousands of students from across the United Kingdom and around the world choose to study here each year, creating a diverse and welcoming academic environment. Living at Student Castle Edinburgh allows residents to become part of this vibrant international community.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything students usually ask before booking.
Do I pay a booking fee or a deposit?
They ask for an advance rent payment (£100 to £300 depending on the location) to allocate you a room.
For their properties in England, this will be deducted from the first instalment or payment which is due before the tenancy start date. For their properties in Scotland, this will deducted from the first instalment or payment due on the tenancy start date.
What happens if I want to cancel my booking?
Get in touch and tell us straight away. How much they can help will depend on the timing and the circumstances of your cancellation. Licence Agreements are legally binding, so once you have signed and returned your contract you're required to pay your rent. If (under special circumstances only) you need to pull out of the Licence Agreement, they'll help try to find a replacement Licensee for your room - but they can't guarantee that they'll be able to. If a new Licensee is found then they can release you from your licence, but there will be a re-licence fee** If you require a copy of the re-licence terms and conditions then please contact us.
Can I leave early and get the remainder of my rent back?
Unfortunately, you are committed under the licence agreement to pay the full rent, however, if you decide you want to leave early please tell the managers of your site asap. They may have a waiting list of people who would like to take over your licence agreement which would then relinquish you from your contract. If you find a new Licensee, they'll let you out of your agreement from the day they move in, and refund you any unused rent that you've paid in advance (minus a £50 admin fee)*. They cannot refund your rent until you have found someone to take over your licence agreement, their booking is confirmed and they have paid the first instalment of their rent.
What bills do I need to pay?
All utility bills (gas, electricity and water), WiFi and contents insurance for your belongings are all included. If you bring your own television or use one that is pre-installed in your room then you will have to buy your own TV licence. If you cease to be a full-time student during the occupation of your room then you will become liable for council tax. If the second occupant of a double occupancy room is not a student then they may also be liable for council tax.
Can I transfer my booking to a different property?
It’s possible that you’ll be able to transfer from one property to another before moving in, but this completely depends on what they have available. If they can transfer you, your booking fee will move with your room but you’ll be charged an admin fee of £50 – and unfortunately, they can’t guarantee that you’ll get the same sort of room. If you need to request a transfer, contact the site manager at your original property location.
Can I change my room?
If you’d like to change your room once you’ve moved in, they’ll do their best to accommodate you (providing they’re not fully booked). Any moves will incur a £50 admin fee*. If you’ve moved to a cheaper room, any excess rent you’ve already paid will be taken off the next instalment. If you’ve already paid for the whole year, they’ll simply give you a refund of the difference.
