Decent tea and coffee in the refectory

The setting, the staff presence. The room and shower are clean. It is the staff who make this a wonderful experience - home from home each year for the Festival.

Cost. Bathroom broken so one shower for 10 rooms

Breakfast. Location.

Stayed in August 2023

The location is very central in Edinburgh. Half an hour walk to Princess Street, Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle. Arthur's Seat is close by directly behind Pollock Halls.

It was a little far out but I walked to the Station once, used the bus once and taxis as well. There was some expense involved in this.

I felt I was in a safe environment with the room being perfectly good for my stay, being a performer at the Fringe Festival. The food at breakfast was as good as a 4 star hotel and I had one main meal late afternoon which was just as good and it’s availability was ideal before my evening performance.

Nothing

Clean, comfortable, convenient, quiet

My television didn't work and was only fixed at the second attempt. The safe didn't work at all during my stay. I was put in the room on the their floor of a building which would not have been a problem if the lift hadn't failed on the first day of my five day stay.

The staff were friendly and tried to be helpful

Good Value and nice 20/30 minute walk to the heart of the city. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

The element in the kettle was black and bits kept coming off it!!! There was no available hairdryer to borrow when I asked and so couldn't wash my hair on the day I wanted to. I think the cleaning in the room could have been at a higher standard. Under the beds and in corners were not clean.

The location was good because of the available buses and also the lovely landscape nearby. I like the help yourself style breakfast.

Super confusing to find check in area. Wandered around university for quite awhile until finding it. Room was very noisy and quite sparse

Stayed in August 2023

Cleanliness standards have plummeted since 2017!! Cleaning takes place once EVERY SIX DAYS!! Ran out of toilet paper on our second night. No shampoo available not even at reception. Toilet had a urine smell and there was dust all over the table. Remarkably disappointed since I used to come here every Fringe… will not in the future.

Location, staff and breakfast

Stayed in August 2023

The first room had stains on sheets, and the handbasin in the room was blocked.looked like it hadn't been cleaned in some time. I was moved after going back to reception to complain. Showers need updating. Rooms could do with air freshener

Good location. The room was OK as expected for student accommodation. Great breakfast. Friendly staff

Stayed in August 2023

No record of me booking so took 20mins plus to check in as I wasn’t on their system Breakfast hall was completely rammed Cooked breakfast was a limited range Room wasn’t serviced during my stay So no top up of tea and milk Housekeeping banging on the door at 9 am When I said no they came back 5 mins later and did the same thing again This time I was in the shower and didn’t appreciate a man from housekeeping not taking no fir an answer Overpriced

Clean Interesting site

Stayed in August 2023

Please add a glass to the rooms that we could use to drink water during the night. I woke up parched and realised I had no means of drinking water than by drinking from my hand. It could be a paper cup, just any cup honestly.

Absolutely loved the vibe at the accommodation, there were many people from all over the world popping up daily. Breakfast was absolutely fabulous and I also tried dinner on one evening and it was superb. Definitely would stay there again, great value for money. Plus, the staff was super friendly and helpful and the rooms were clean. Not far from the city centre, took me 20 minutes on foot.

I was assigned a room with a bathroom that did not seem to have been cleaned. The shower had a leak. It looked like someone, maybe housekeeping, came jn when I was out and ran the taps. When I came back at night the water ran out. They gave me a new room within an hour. No issues in the new room. However, the elevator was out in the building. I had to carry heavy luggage up and down. So it wasn’t pleasant.

Stayed in August 2023

Unacceptable noise during the night. Kids were screaming and running thru the corridors.

Stayed in July 2023

I was assigned a fourth floor room in a building where the elevator was broken. They kept saying it would be fixed in a day or two. It never was. If you are a 20 year old student. Might not matter. I’m not. Stairwell was filthy. Had never been swept or mopped. Even the handrails were sticky. Ugh. Bar does not accept cash. Location far from everything. Had to get taxis and Ubers everywhere. An added cost I wasn’t expecting.

Breakfast. All you can eat buffet. Rooms hallway and bathroom were clean.

Stayed in August 2023

A small room /bed and was not comparable across all blocks, as Grant House appeared to need upgrading.

Hearty breakfast with fabulous welcoming staff with green fields around the property.
