Edinburgh uni Summer Stay at Pollock Halls was fantastic. From the easy and friendly check-in it all went smoothly. Great selection at breakfast with lots of seating available. Very helpful and friendly breakfast staff. Shared bathroom was very clean as as expected for uni accommodation. Bed was very comfy. 100% recommend.

6/10 Okay

They mentioned there wasn’t parking although there is however ina first in first served basis. I unfortunately had precooked alternate parking for £20+. Disappointed when was told there were spaces available.
John, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

There was mold in the shower and stains on the carpet, and the rooms had no soundproofing. It was hard to fall asleep due to the snoring coming from next door. Breakfast, on the contrary, was quite decent considering British hotel standards.
Jorge Alejandro Pineda, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

This accomodation was a good price relative to other accomodation in Edinburgh. We enjoyed the breakfast which is served buffet style in the university refectory which is a quick walk from the halls. We ate a couple of nights at Arthur's which was also a reasonably priced and was tasty. There was also the option of eating in the refectory. The downsides were the beds which I found to be hard and the tiny TV in the room. We appreciated the shower gel, nice towels and the heated towel rail which kept the towels warm and dry! The halls are a bus ride or a 25 min walk from town, however convenient for a walk up to Arthur's seat. The whole experience was fun and felt different to a bog-standard hotel. My 10 year old son really enjoyed it!

Great basic accommodation at a great price including a great breakfast.
Henry, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The Reception building where you need to check in is difficult to find. The bed was comfortable but the room was way too hot. The shower/washrooms were not clean and I only heard three other people staying in my area. The elevator was out of service for over 12 hrs and I was on the 5th floor. The campus has food and drink options that are convenient for weekend stays if you don’t want to go off campus, however breakfast (free) doesn’t start until 7:30 am. The room was very clean.
