Pollock Halls is obviously student accommodation but don't let that put you off. We arrived as a group of motorcyclists and couldn't work out where to park, eventually security staff told us to ride down the pavement and park near reception, I'm not sure where you would park a car . Reception is very efficient but lacks that personal touch... More

Being part of Edinburgh University you stay in Student accommodation, hence low prices. Security is good room had wired internet access, wifi is available around the 'campus' but of variable quality. The room i had was en-suite with two single bed & a digital TV. As this is a student Halls of Residence there is good transport links & food... More

Accommodation is basic, as described by others, but it is spotless, quiet and had everything we needed for an overnight stay after a conference. Breakfast was excellent with organic soya milk, vegetarian sausages and haggis (a rare choice for veggies) An unexpected bonus was the easy walking distance to a fabulous vegetarian indian restaurant! Oh and I left my phone... More

A group of fourteen women stayed here in June 2012 for a long weekend of sightseeing and partying. The rooms are basic but clean and very quiet for a nights sleep. The breakfast was outstanding, it was worth the stay for that alone! The surrounding area of Pollock halls is beautiful and on our sunny weekend it meant we could... More

Within walking distance of the Old Town and Arthur's Seat, Pollock Halls provides excellent value if you're travelling on a budget. My single room was exactly that - a single bed with en suite toilet/shower. The room provided all I really needed - a place to sleep at night. Breakfast was included, which made the value even better. I also... More

I decided to go to Edinburgh in the summer kind of on the fly, and since I hadn't saved much money, needed to be frugal about things. This was a perfect fit. The room was a decent size (we got separate rooms, so mine was a single) and well maintained. It was definitely nicer than the dorms from my undergrad... More

Basic, clean twin room with en-suite facilities. Really good value. The staff in reception were very welcoming and helpful. The breakfast was amazing so much choice! The journey into the city centre is walkable through holyrood park, but if you prefer the bus then the service is excellent and cheap. Wish I had known that the commonwealth pool is next... More

We liked everything about Chancellor's Court during our 10-day stay, knowing that these are essentially dormitory accomodations (with very welcome private baths.) Our only negative impression was from the rather inhospitable woman in charge of the Reception desk. Surprising, as this is a University organization that vigorously promotes its hospitality services to the general public. The cafeteria operation is outstanding... More

I can’t comment on whether this represents valve for money as we were a party of 250 who had used a travel company who specialised in transporting and arranging accommodation for large groups of people. We stayed for 4 nights over the Aug bank holiday. I was in a single room in Turner house which I understand had been refurbished... More
