    It took me a while to work out how to open the main door to the building (chancellors court). And the lift (obvious when you know how)

    Breakfast was fine - Good selection (but would have liked some haggis).

    Pollock Halls. Edinburgh University’s First Campus, they really took great care of us!!!

    • En Suite Single Room - John Burnett

    Dampers on the door butts might reduce the occasional bang of a closing door. The building is acoustic. Sound travels easily. When guests arrive they are unaware of the possibility that closing their door might disturb others. Guests do quieten down once they become aware. So, things were mostly fine. Dampers on the door frames might help!

    Pollock Halls Edinburgh University’s First Campus, they really took great care of us. The staff there are so caring, forever helping and information sharing. And the guests’ safety here is key, the building is built for security. The room’s size more than satisfied, with space for everything, and excellent WiFi. And the dining room is so vast, with a plethora of dishes that more than excelled our wishes. Edinburgh University’s First Campus, they really took great care of us!

    The fire door for the stairs gave a loud bang every time the door closed. It was so bad that we were kept awake. This noise will stop us booking again. Such a shame as everything else was good.

    Location on easy bus route into city. Great breakfast, good coffee

    I (& presumably many others) was up in middle of night (ie 3.00 am) on two separate nights by groups of young people shouting, singing and generally being very inconsiderate. I hate to sound like an old fogey, but you did ask…

    I stayed in John Burnett, which I liked very much, and was a definite upgrade on previous stays at Pollock Estate.

    Bed could have been a little bit more comfy but that is just personal preference, they were adequate. Location is a little far away from Edinburgh itself and is hilly (1.5 miles) but was manageable by walking ( roughly 25/30 mins)

    I was travelling alone and on a budget, so needed somewhere that was near Edinburgh but also within budget whilst attending the Fringe. The room and bathroom were clean and facilities were of a good quality. Area was quiet and I felt safe. Wide choice at breakfast, very filling and tasty. Staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable.

    Didn't like they didn't have a ramp from check in to our room. We had to lug all of our baggage down many stairs, which was a pain.

    The front staff were amazing. Very kind and helpful. Even though we had to leave for our plane at 3 am, they had take out breakfast waiting for us.
