Great place. Nice staff. Easy access to local transportation.

10.0 / 10.0

A great place to stay of you're going to Edinburgh, particularly for Fringe. 24/7 reception, great breakfast options and simple amendities but clean. Room comes with a sink which was great for brushing teeth and washing my face without having to always use the shared bathroom. Shared facilities were clean and easy to access.

8.0 / 10.0

Great location and affordable. On the other hand, the check in and check out process was terrible with massive lines out the door for hours waiting. Depending on where you are on the property, it can also be quite loud at night from people walking through the halls.

10.0 / 10.0

Second year staying here. Different building and the private bathroom was a real treat this year. I love this place. The breakfast is outstanding. Walking distance to town and trails by Arthur's Seat. Convenient buses. Excellent laundry facility available.

8.0 / 10.0

Bit of a nightmare to check-in as the queue took an hour and a half. However, I'm told that was highly unusual and not normally the case. It was soon forgotten as the facilities and everything else were great

10.0 / 10.0

Amazing place to stay. Clean and you have all the basic you need. The shared bathrooms were kept clean. But that depends a lot on other tourist as well how respectfull they are to keep the bathrooms clean after themselves. I had a really lovely experience. The check in took a while but probably because they were loads of tourists. But the staff was really helpful and worked as quickly as possible. The breakfast option was more than expected, really good food and enough to get your day started. Overall a big thank you for the hard working staff.

8.0 / 10.0

Excellent, friendly check-in by Katie, who checked that I'd been allocated a room away from the lifts and toilets (because those rooms are always noisy). The shower rooms in Grant House have had a refurb since my last stay, but the shower cubicles are still tiny. Usually I use the shower over the bath instead but the bathroom on my floor was out of order, which was a shame. Good stay otherwise.

4.0 / 10.0

The rooms were comfortable and excellent for a few days stay. The breakfast was excellent. The location was a little walk from the Royal Mile, but still convenient, with bus ervices available if needed.

En-suite room. Early breakfast box. Varied choice of catering. Loveky views of Arthur's Seat. MUCH better value than hotels.

About a 30 minute walk from the city centre or there are bus stops just a 5 minute walk from Pollock Halls. Basic, but very clean & the staff are friendly. My only slight issue was the closing of the luggage storage. The reception is 24hr, however, you must pick your luggage up before 11pm. I was in Edinburgh for the Fringe, so dropped my suitcase off before the 3pm check-in & planned to check-in & pick up my suitcase around 1am after my last show. Whilst checking in at 1am is fine as there is always someone on reception, I wouldn't have got my suitcase. If the reception is 24/7 & the luggage storage area is just a cupboard off the reception area, why the 11pm cut off?

We were very mpressed with the accommodation at Summer Stays at the University. Our twin room was spacious, clean and beds comfortable. An amazing breakfast buffet is served and laundry facilities are convenient and very well priced.

6.0 / 10.0

Very affordable

8.0 / 10.0

We shared a twin room which was a decent size, with OK beds. The en-suite bathroom was clean and a decent size but the shower water pressure was low. The carpet in the room was heavily stained but everything else was clean. It’s student accommodation so it’s not five star! The corridors have a hard surface and you can hear everything going on out there. During the festival, there is a lot of late night coming and going and one night we were woken by people running around and riding one of the maid’s trolleys… Breakfast is buffet style and huge! All you can eat and more. The campus is nice, with a shop and a hotel on site that has a nice beer garden and restaurant, if you fancy a change from the buffet. Parking is very limited and we got one of the last spots. Permits are free but obviously limited to the number of spaces. There’s street parking nearby. The site is walkable to many of the main festival sites but it’s a fair stretch of the legs. Edinburgh’s bus network is good though, so you can easily get across the city. Overall this is a decent place to stay for a few days but expect door slamming and some stupidity overnight. You’d have to pay a LOT more to get anything better.

10.0 / 10.0

Value for money during the festival.

Rooms are basic student accommodation, so expectations should be set. Beds are comfortable, with towels provided and showers have shower gel. Although bathroom facilities are shared, rooms have a sink, although no hand soap is provided. Despite there being a lot of accommodation, it never felt too busy and I was surprised how quiet it was. Sadly there are no kitchen facilities at the accommodation to refrigerate food. The free daily breakfast is very good indeed with a good mix of hot and cold options. At peak times it’s extremely busy! Finally, check-in at the Reception Centre is a complete joke! Queues of an hour are common, even in the cold and wet. Even children, the elderly and those with disabilities, all have to queue outside, it’s ridiculous! Very simply, they need more check-in staff at peak times. The management responsible for this mess should hang their heads in shame - it is not acceptable! NOTE: “Summer Stays” at The University of Edinburgh management need to update their listings on Google Maps etc. becuase it’s currently a hot mess of confusion.

6.0 / 10.0

Pros of Summer Stays are cost efficiency, privacy, access to accommodations (shower, laundry for small fee, breakfast included with stay), 24 hr staff on duty, free wifi, free luggage holding if you arrive before checkin or need to checkout before departing. Cons, dorms are outdated (hot… I stayed in August, perhaps that’s a contribution), washroom facilities need updated (low shower pressure, feels a bit dirty so wear sandals when walking on the floor), location is about 30-35 mins walk from city centre. Would I stay here again? Maybe, due to cheap cost and private room. But was disappointed in the dorm temps, facilities that need updating and keep in mind it’s a bit of a walk to get to old town (no problem if you’re fit and enjoy walking… just something to consider).

10.0 / 10.0

Very affordable stay, with excellent breakfast options. Easy access to buses and taxis, and convenient laundry facilities.

10.0 / 10.0

Great value stay. Breakfast was great with a selection of hot food and lots of fruit options. Front desk and maintenance staff were very nice and were working hard. Room was a university dorm with a lot of wear and tear, but that is reflected in the price. Lots of buses and about a 25min walk to Old Town.

3.0 / 10.0

Pros: Room and shared shower/toilet are very clean. Beddings are new and comfortable. Delicious English breakfast with good range of selections. Welcoming and effective reception service. Cons: There's basically no noise cancelling facility - you can hear people coming back to their rooms in the middle of the night; slam their doors (unconsciously I believe); talking inside their rooms (if you live next door). Bringing your own earplugs would be helpful.

We stayed here during the Fringe Festival as there were limited accommodations. Check-in was smooth, it has laundry facilities, which was nice, but there was quite a lot of dirt and dust throughout the accommodation (floors, surfaces). I doubt I would stay again.

Great cheap accommodation. Breakfast options. Condition of property excellent xonsidering it is student accommodation. Great location

Much better than I expected for the price, which was a real bargain for Edinburgh in August. And an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet included! Would definitely use again.

Breakfast great, bed comfy, no hot water at basin in the room but hot water in the shower room basins across the corridor. Nice stay for a stop over but I agree room walls very thin so noise can be an issue.

4.0 / 10.0

Affordable stay. Incredibly good breakfast. The room was basic (but to be expected). No en-suite was definitely an issue and rooms, corridors, and shower rooms etc needed freshening up for sure. Not a bad stay in any way. Lovely grounds and good staff on hand to help.

8.0 / 10.0

Comfortable and well situated Calm and personnel friendly and helpful

4.0 / 10.0

Good, basic accommodation for a very reasonable price, within easy walking distance of the city centre. A quiet campus, with safe and secure parking included made it a fantastic deal. The rooms are basic, and a little tired, but clean and comfortable enough and the included breakfast is a nice bonus.

8.0 / 10.0

Ideal for quick stay, basic and clean and surprisingly good breakfast selection.
