Our Room categories
A guide to help you make the best decision when booking your next student home with Hello Student
We’ve listened to feedback from past residents and have put together a guide on our room categories to help you make the best decision when booking with us. We want you to be overjoyed with your new room when you arrive and our new categorisations clearly label the differences between each room so you can book with confidence. So, if you rate a better view over a little extra space, or a higher floor over courtyard views, that’ll be easier to choose.
Room Category
Premium
Our premium rooms bring a modern, stylish edge to student living. Featuring high-spec furniture, extra storage, and a sleek aesthetic, they offer the same great Hello Student experience, with a more contemporary feel.
Classic
Our classic rooms strike the perfect balance, a comfortable blend of style and value. With modern furnishings and all the essentials you need, they’re a great middle ground between our Basic and Premium options, giving you the full Hello Student experience at a great rate.
Value
Our value rooms offer the same Hello Student comfort at a budget-friendly rate. They may be closer to the lift or entrance, or have a simpler view, but they’re a practical, welcoming option for students who want quality living without stretching their budget. Available in limited numbers.
Basic
Our basic rooms are a smart, budget-friendly choice that give you everything you need for comfortable student living. While they may feature slightly older furnishings, you’ll still enjoy the full Hello Student experience, with all the essentials in place to make you feel at home.
Time to choose your room size
Our room sizes differ depending on accommodation. Because of this we make it clear in the booking process what size of room you will be moving into.
Smaller rooms are a little more snug, offering a cosy feel.
Bigger rooms have tonnes of great space, helping you to better separate your sleeping, living & kitchen area.

Extra information about your room
From talking to students, we found that the view from their room and the bathroom options are some of the most important factors when booking student accommodation.
So, for some of our rooms, we specify what extras you can expect when you move in.
If you’re studying in Edinburgh and want a view of the castle, we’ve got you covered. If you care more about getting the best price and the view isn’t a big deal, a room with a limited view might be perfect for you.
Not worried about having an ensuite? We’ll let you know if a shared bathroom is an option.
