Staff friendly, helpful and responsive. Room and facilities clean. Parking secure and convenient. Breakfast convenient and plentiful, great to have so many options, including traditional Scottish. Canteen style works for the setting. Rooms basic but as expected, as is the overall stay. Would stay here again for the value and practically.

Nice big breakfast buffet and checking was very quick even though it was at a time when a lot of students were checking in for the school year. Considering it was just days before classes it was quite quiet all day and night.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
A standard private dorm room set up w/ a bit of wear & tear & a fiddly door lock, but clean & comfortable. A sink in the room was a plus, as were the multiple shower/bathrooms available on the floor. The 24 hr front desk staff were always very helpful & friendly, the luggage storage convenient. The included breakfast was great with lots of choice. The grounds were lovely & well tended, & the view of Arthur’s Seat & Salisbury Crags in Holyrood Park (only a 10 min walk away), was exceptional. There were several Fringe venues in easy walking distance, & bus stops close if needed. Would definitely book here again in the future as it was perfect for my Fringe Festival attending needs.

Great way to travel on a budget. Though a shared WC not everyone’s cup of tea, I found it to be free when I needed it and it wasn’t a problem. Also the fact that it’s a room meant to house someone for a few months at a time means it’s at a base level quite comfortable and roomy. Breakfast is also pretty good! Pollock Halls dorms are a 25-30 min walk to Waverly train station, 15-20 min walk to the Royal Mile and a bit closer to Fringe venues. Would definitely stay again!

Great stay!
Summer Stays - or, Pollock Halls, as I know it - always does its visitors proud. I've been d"doing" the Fringe for years and this must be one of the cheapest stays in Edinburgh during August. The place, as usual, this year was immaculate. The greeting staff are amazingly friendly and patient with the thousands who turn up on their doorstep. The place does its best to be eco-friendly, even with the great, inclusive, breakfast and the variety of different level of rooms to choose from (if you book early enough) must suit all pockets. OK it's not Princes Street or the Royal Mile - but they're all close at hand and the brooding presence of Arthur's Seat (hill/mountain) is right on the doorstep if you fancy a fitness challenge. The staff - from the kitchens to the gardens and beyond do the place proud. Thanks for a great stay!

Unlikely to return
My only complaint is about the room. All other aspects were good especially the breakfast. The beds were clean and comfortable the bathroom was clean but the shower cubicle was poorly maintained. The carpets were just filthy and unhoovered with food under the bed. For the price we paid I was not happy
