    We found only one disturbing factor at this accommodation. Every night as the night begins, we hear the other doors closing. That was so loud!

    It is good to sleep in this rooms. The staff was nice. The breakfast is not my cup of tea, but the selection was great and a big. We walk in this city every day, and we don't have any experience for how can work the local public transport.

    Room could have been cleaner - it also would be nice to allow guests use in the pantry / lounges to store food etc.

    Very good value stay at pollock halls - simple but comfy rooms at a lovely location near Arthur's seat. The breakfast never disappoints! Amazing huge buffet included in the price - hot, continental and cereal options. Staff were very helpful too

    If you decide to stay here, make sure that you won't ask for room number 102 at Grant Hall. It is the worst room on campus. Because it is on the first floor and in front of the building's main access, you can listen to doors slamming every time someone comes in or out of the building. It is also in front of parking, where they load and unload pieces of stuff all the time. People also stop in front of the building to chat or talk on their phones. If you are a young student all of this is fine because you don't care. However, when you are on vacation and try to get some rest after your day, then you shouldn't be here.

    It was an amazing experience. Stay in a dormitory makes us remember our time when in college. The best thing is the breakfast. Once the breakfast is served in the cafeteria, it is the best breakfast offered in the city. They have many options in a buffet style. Also a few bars, restaurants, and markets around. Next to Arthur's seat, one of the best touristic points in Edinburgh. If I come back to Edinburgh for sure I will stay here again (but not in the same room pleaseee).

    I'd say that the price point is a little high considering that the bathroom is shared. The rooms can be slightly noisy as well as I stayed in the building (Grant House) next to the canteen, which meant you heard the food trucks in the morning. I doubt the sound is an issue in the other buildings on the site.

    Staff, free breakfast, sink in room was useful. Location is very, very good.

    The Staff were helpful, while the landscaping provided an oasis. The rooms were surprisingly quiet with sufficient air flow to have a comfortable nights sleep. And finally the WIFI was 100% reliable to streamline work/travel.

    unfortunately the breakfast was not good. it had an excellent choice and variety but everything was very dry and a bit rubbery. we went down to breakfast about 9.30 so didn’t leave it to the very last minute but I think it had been under the lights too long

    very modern, clean and functional excellent idea to make some money whilst the students are away

    The bathroom was dirty, hairs in the shower. The room smelled of sweat. The breakfast was OK but all very cheap. It was basic no frills accommodation.

    The room was cheap for Edinburgh and walking distance from the city centre with parking, which is difficult to find in summer in Edinburgh.

    The was just ok. Considering it's really a college dorm, I consider it acceptable but just very basic. The laundry was very difficult to operate and dryers didn't really work at all. Ran the dry 50 minutes three times and still had cold, wet clothes.

    Great location. Great breakfast with a wide selection of hold and cold items to choose from. The check-in staff was very pleasant and easy to work with. The building was very secure and parking was no problem.
