Gillis center is 20 minutes by feet far from the center, just walk across the meadows and you'll be right in front of Greyfriars Bobby. Twin bed room for four nights, basic furnitures, cattle, clean and new toilet room. Breakfast included but not so various. Good thing is that during the festivals is the cheapest and quietest place you can... More

My friend and I stayed at the Gillis Centre while doing a 3 day workshop there. The staff were most helpful, friendly and pleasant. As we had only booked for one night and didn't want to leave they went to great lengths to accomodate us which we really appreciated. The rooms were basic and comfortable with all we needed and...

This accommodation is very cycle friendly and and unbeatable bargain in the middle of Edinburgh if all you want is a comfortable room, with a bed and en-suite facilites. It puts you in mind of student accommodation at most universities nowadays. The building itself is breathtakingly beautiful and the gardens are wonderful. The breakfast room is functional with all the... More

The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and the surrounding grounds were beautiful. Me and some friends are definitely going again!

This is about a ten minute bus ride to the centre but is walkable if you are reasonably fit and energetic. I have read the remarks about traffic noise and can't really comment as my single room was not on that side of the building. All... More

Everything about the Gillis Centre was so spot on for a traveller with simple tastes... My single room was clean and tidy..I stayed for three nights and wished my stay could be extended... The buffet style breakfast was calm unhurried and unfussy..with as much strong filter coffee as was necessary to awake the traveller from the wonderfully quiet nights sleep..such... More

Accommodation was clean, warm & comfortable - &... More
