Canal Point

A great location for students in Fountainbridge ⚡ 

Sitting in the heart of Edinburgh's vibrant Fountainbridge district, Canal Point is the ideal base for students wanting to be close to culture, university and everything Edinburgh has to offer. Many of the city’s main campuses are close by, taking the stress out of morning lectures:

• 16‑minute walk to University of Edinburgh’s Main Campus 
• 20‑minute walk to Edinburgh Napier University’s Merchiston Campus 
• 22-minute bus to Edinburgh Napier University’s Craiglockhart Campus  
• 27-minute bus to University of Edinburgh’s King’s Buildings Campus 
• 31‑minute bus to Edinburgh Napier University’s Sighthill Campus

There’s also plenty to keep you entertained outside of study hours – spend a lazy afternoon in the nearby Meadows, explore world-class art galleries and museums or head to Princes Street for some retail therapy. When the weekend rolls around, you're in the perfect spot to enjoy Edinburgh's legendary nightlife with Cowgate and Grassmarket in walking distance.

Modern facilities for study and socialising ✨ 

Canal Point is much more than a place to lay your head. Living here, you’ll be part of one of Edinburgh’s most welcoming student communities, with regular social events taking place on-site and a friendly team of staff to help you feel settled. 

There are some great communal areas that you'll get to make the most of – grab your friends and catch up on the latest shows in the cosy TV lounge or knuckle down for some work in our dedicated study areas.

You’ll also have practical extras that make life easier like bike storage, post collection and an on-site laundry room, plus high-speed Wi-Fi throughout and 24/7 security for full peace of mind.

Choose from en-suite & studio rooms 🛏️

Canal Point has a range of rooms to suit different budgets and living preferences. If you’re looking for a blend of privacy and community, our en-suite rooms give you your own bedroom and bathroom with access to a shared kitchen and lounge area. 

We also offer a number of self-contained studios, which come complete with a kitchenette for those seeking full independence. These rooms are available for dual occupancy – great for couples looking to share. 

Some of our rooms are available on a flexible basis if you're looking for a short-term or single-semester arrangement, while we also welcome group bookings on en-suites if you want to live with your friends.
