Excellent accommodation, just about close enough to the city centre to walk there but without the crazy prices of the centre. Very good rooms, very helpful staff (and on duty all night) and extremely safe and quiet. The ideal to place to stay if you want a night out in Edinburgh.

Worst shower I have had in a hotel in many years. Terrible water pressure, like being dripped on by a wet towel.

Quiet rooms, good location, good breakfast

The hilly walk to Royal Mile was tiring - you can’t fix that!

Beautiful campus, great lication close to Arthur’s Seat, Palace at Holyrood Park, and Roysl Mile. Very nice, quiet dorms. Friendly staff. Phenomenal breakfast, really good. Pub on site. All around perfect. Would love to come again.

We asked that a number of repairs be executed and none of them were. These ranged from replacing toilet seat bolts ( the seat was sliding a.l over the placement, to replacing over head florecents to caulking the shower stale. All of these things will have to be done before students arrive

Breakfast was great. Tried the haggis both lamb and veggie once. Tried the blood sausage again once. Cafeteria seems to work well for us. My wife has food intolerances so being able to wander and pick worked well. We also took a couple of evening meals in the bar. There could have been a better selection there

This is a university dorm room, exactly how you can imagine it. A bit old, wooden beds, a small bathroom. It was also a bit far from the center.

The staff were really nice and helpful. The free breakfast was good and the campus was pretty. The price was ok compared to other accommodation in the area.

Breakfast!

Food. I was extremely ill after having had a beef burger in the restaurant and had to leave one day before my trip had finished. Rooms should be en-suite.

The rooms very awful. Extremely basic. The TV was smaller than a laptop, fixed to the wall so unless you sat against the back wall ypu couldn't see from any other angle. Also the remote batteries were dead so we couldn't turn it on anyway. I don't know how students live in a room like that all year

The bar and the breakfast.

Only thing is distance from town centre, but we knew this when we booked. Plus side is the fantastic view of Arthur's Seat from your window.

Excellent value for money. Restaurant & facilities are great, you can even get room service. Everything you need in a very comfortable room with access to cooking facilities & drying room.

It was a little far from the Fringe.

It was a lovely place to see. The main attraction for me was the lovely view we had of Arthur's seat which is beautiful and I am sure a joy for any hill walker.

Everything was as described

Rooms were spotlessly clean Location around 20 mins walk from Royal Mile or 5 mins on bus. Bus stop at Commonwealth pool is next to accommodation. Breakfast was fantastic, a buffet providing a hot or continental breakfast Arran Aromatics shower gel and hand wash was a lovely touch

Nice facilities with super friendly staff. Breakfast was good. You have a nice restaurant nearby and university shop with groceries as well. Parking can be a little tricky so I suggest you are there soon enough 😉

You’d get checked up on at awkward times.

Good range of facilities and you felt very safe.

Edinburgh is hilly and the binmen are on strike. The walk from Pollock Halls takes you down onto South Bridge and into the old town so it will be a nice walk down once the streets are cleaned up but it is a bit more of a stretch going back up and worth the taxi fare which cost me around a tenner depending on the way the driver got onto the South Bridge. Not a dislike, more an observation. There are plenty of runners who run up and down these roads, just more of a challenge than I needed this weekend! For obvious reasons, there is security there and taxis are restricted into how far they can take you onto the campus, but it's not full on in your face (yet) but you are subtly aware of it, a little more so than you would be in a hotel in the city centre, so if you don't like that idea, perhaps reconsider this gem of accommodations.

Quiet, amazing value for money, easiest check in and check out, first class breakfast with everything you could want and as much as you could eat, all of the staff were lovely and friendly and obviously worked very hard to maintain the standard there. It's about 25 minutes walk into the city and was a pleasant walk to blow away the remnants of the train journeys and it made the 10000 daily step target far too easy to achieve! Towels and linen were provided and were clean. Loads of hot water. Perfect for the short time I was there. The landscaping and openness of the site could almost make you feel you were out in a really rural setting. The buildings and site cater well for the less mobile amongst us. Some car parking was available if I'd needed to drive there to beat the train strikes, but happy that I didn't have to use that facility. Tea and coffee were provided in the room - and lots of it!

There was nothing not to like.

Breakfast such a good variety and all you could eat The full Scottish Breakfast, wide choice of cereals, yogurt, fruit, pancakes, croissants, variety of fresh fruit. Full marks to housekeeping on the standard of the rooms, beds were very comfortable, tea and coffee making facilites in rooms also access to a fully equipped spotless clean kitchen. Very helpful staff at reception. Bus no 30 and 33 which you take across road from commonwealth pool will bring you on to Princes Street which is a short walk from St Andrews Square. A taxi from Edinburgh airport is 30 pound. Hope I will be going back some time again soon.
