Silk Mill Edinburgh

Booking your student accommodation in Edinburgh is straightforward with Silk Mill. Once you’ve selected the room that best suits your lifestyle and budget, our accommodation team will support you through every stage of the reservation process.

We offer flexible payment options to help make managing your accommodation costs as simple as possible. Students can choose to pay in full or spread payments across instalments during the academic year. If you select an instalment plan, a UK-based guarantor may be required. For students who don’t have access to a guarantor, alternative options are available to help make booking your room as easy as possible.
