Summer Stays at The University of Edinburgh

The location is 1 bus ride from the city center. No shampoos were provided, but there was a bodywash. There were towels, instant coffees, and water heater. There were no bedroom slippers, and the room heater did not really function well during our stay. It was June but the cold was quite bothersome. Also, I availed the room (with own toilet) that included breakfast yet I was not able to try it due to our early schedule (tour and flight). Breakfast was served at 7:30am, a bit late. We asked the reception if we can avail a free dinner instead but she said it's not feasible. I felt like I wasted my money for the 2 breakfasts that I availed. Sad.

Good service and standard breakfast. Can’t expect more for such price. Reception staff were very helpful.

The accommodation in the Pollock Halls was basic but that's all I needed.I came for the Fringe Festival in late August and just needed somewhere to put my head down overnight for a few days. The breakfast was great and all the staff were so happy and helpful. Can I please meantion HANNAH on reception night shift and send a big Thank you to her,she is a great ambassador for the University very knowledgeable and a pleasant person.Good luck with your studies. A good base for Edinburgh visits.

A good option when visiting Edinburgh! Location is maybe the downside but for the value is perfect

It is the hall of residence of the university. So the rooms are basic but acceptable. T v didn't work. The hot water didn't work until the second day. Using the washing drying facilities is a nightmare. Would we stay again. Unlikely.

Fantastic location - great breakfast - great staff - highly recommend
