“Joivy operates converted student housing, so anticipate a no-frills stay; however, the location is enviable, near a tram stop for airport access and within a reasonable walk to Old Town. Friendly staff and clean, spacious rooms provide essential comforts, despite the lack of in-room amenities such as a fridge or kettle. It's a practical choice if you value location and staff attentiveness over luxury frills.”

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Joivy Affordable Edinburgh offers a convenient location, with a tram stop right outside for easy access to the airport and city center, plus a Tesco supermarket across the street. It is generally considered a good value for money, particularly when reused as accommodation during the Fringe. While the rooms are basic, some guests have pointed out that the mattresses could be more comfortable; however, the studios are larger and feature a kitchenette with an oven and kettle, providing added convenience.

the room was clean. staff members were friendly and helpful . i found the location convenient, with easy access to transportation (the tram was right across the street). the provided towels were lovely and there was plenty of soap.
the window only opened a crack, made the room a bit too warm.

a decent location and fair price

convenient locationfriendly staffwarm room
The location proved really convenient because it was close to the tram and train station. the room i booked felt clean, and the staff looked friendly and helpful upon my arrival. i also appreciate that there was laundry on site. It helped keep things fresh during the trip.
the room felt quite warm, even with the fan running, so i wouldn't book during the peak of summer. it lacked a small fridge or kitchen access, it was super basic for a hotel.
Service

While the hotel did not have an in-house restaurant, it was near several cafes and shops. tesco supermarket was just across the street. I bought snacks and drinks. mcdonalds was next to supermarket so we could enjoy fast food.
