City Room Rentals offered a reliable partnership to Allied Student Accommodation LTD, consistently delivering results. Leveraging their expertise, management capabilities, and income delivery skills, we've significantly enhanced our portfolio performance at our flagship Edinburgh property during the summer letting season. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with City Room Rentals as we expand into new markets. Their specialised summer letting service comes highly recommended for other operators and universities.
As a result of our partnership with City Room Rentals, we have experienced remarkable growth and success with increased revenue and exceeding net operating income financial metrics. Their guidance has been instrumental in broadening our reach within the alternative tourism uses avenue, allowing us to connect with a diverse range individuals and corporates seeking accommodation solutions. With their support, we've not only increased our booking volume but also strengthened our brand presence across Scotland. The City Room Rental’s team's dedication to our success is evident, and we look forward to continuing this fruitful collaboration as we expand our services to even more locations as part of a long-term contract.
City Room Rentals provide the ideal stress-free solution for outsourcing students to the most suitable accommodation in University towns and cities, without the need for University accommodation offices to enter into formal nomination agreements with off-campus providers. The experienced team take into consideration the interests of the students and provide a friendly and helpful service to both students and parents throughout the entire booking process with fantastic feedback from all stakeholders. Furthermore, they are able to facilitate the process for the university accommodation teams by acting as the sole point of contact for multiple accommodation sites to bridge the gap between University and private off-campus Purpose Built Student Accommodation. This takes a lot of pressure off internal university accommodation teams during peak periods. All parties involved can expect a smooth process with quick and professional assistance throughout. I would strongly recommend the services that City Room Rentals offers.
Nick and his team at City Room Rentals proved to be an invaluable support to the University, utilising their extensive network and experience to help place c.150 students in an extremely challenging student accommodation market. The friendly, knowledgeable and professional CRR team were extremely responsive to our needs and requests whilst working under significant time pressure, and there is no doubt that without their support the desired results would not have been achieved. I would have no hesitation recommending City Room Rentals, and we look forward to working with Nick and the team again in the future.

Stirling Venues began working with City Room Rentals in 2015 to form a partnership which would maximise our commercial performance across our varied accommodation portfolio. Stirling Venues is responsible for all commercial activity for the University of Stirling, including almost 3000 student accommodation beds which become available during the summer months for use as Guest Accommodation and the all year round, full service, 100-bedroom Stirling Court Hotel. I was impressed by CRRs track record in promoting student accommodation to leisure guests and they haven’t disappointed, successfully delivering growth in revenues across our summer Guest Accommodation and Stirling Court Hotel. City Room Rentals provide a full booking and yield management service that is professional and responsive! I would recommend CRR to universities and accommodation providers.
City Room Rentals provide an expert service that is tailored specifically to purpose built student accommodation providers and Universities allowing clients to retain operational management.

With a UK wide portfolio, we are looking to expand this nationwide with CRR.
City Room Rentals (CRR) have provided expert professional services to Cityheart Living and UHI buildings since 2015. Services were in relation to setting up the summer commercial tourism business, marketing and operations in Fort William, Inverness, Dornoch and Elgin on behalf of the University of the Highlands and Islands. In 2016, City Room Rentals launched our summer accommodation Hostel in Fort William. Their innovative business model provided booking management and yield revenue services and delivered exceptional returns for our business and the University. As well as managing and delivering our revenue targets, CRR also provided outstanding support and guidance to our operations and management team which ensured a smooth campaign. We’re now looking forward to expanding our partnership further together with new sites across the Highland and Islands. An exceptional company to work with that goes above and beyond to deliver results!
We were very impressed with City Room Rental’s specific knowledge and track record in this particular market of PBSA. It “de risked” our overall approach to student development and with Nick’s help we have been able to re model our financial appraisals accordingly.

Our work with Nick and his team at City Room Rentals began in 2015 with an aim to work in partnership with more local businesses that would support summer sales in five of our properties. With any agent we estimate an amount of sales we would expect to see and we were thrilled that the hard work carried out which was beyond our expectations in obtaining a range of bookings from large conference groups to short weekend breaks. From these successes in our summer business we also furthered our relationship with City Room Rentals being one of the few agents we also use for academic year stays. What we appreciated most about working in partnership with Nick and his team is their understanding of our business and the reassurance and value that they bring. The level of care they take in ensuring that the customer journey is simple, enjoyable and hassle free has already secured customers returning for another year.
CRR has proved to be an invaluable resource throughout our partnership with them. We can honestly say that without their assistance, dedication and professionalism we not have been able to achieve the results that we did. CRR helped us smash our targets by over 50%. Using CRR’s booking system & expertise eliminated the potential banana skin of keeping track of the numerous bookings from various sources. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Nick and his team at CRR and we look forward to our mutual continued growth and the further strengthening of the partnership.
With their numerous contacts, City Room Rentals sourced and brought additional summer accommodation business our way.

The CRR team played an integral role in our commercial operations during the Edinburgh Festival and our 900 bed city estate.

We found CRR Central Reservations to be very quick in responding to our enquiries and in confirming our bookings. Also, the staff at the property we used, Beaverbank, were very efficient at dealing with anything we needed sorting out.

We are very satisfied with the warm services we have received from City Room Rentals, especially from our client manager, Nick. The company made our life so much easier by managing the artist groups. The comfortable rooms and the welcoming staff left a very good memory for all our artists, during their month-long stay at the Edinburgh Fringe. We have also received additional help such as gaining reference letters for our rental stay and also many helpful tips. They have become a reliable and great long-term partner and we would highly recommend this company!
