We stayed here for 2 nights in July. I chose this place merely based on price and you get what you pay for. These are basic dorm rooms. The location is a bit off the path but within a 20 minute...

A Best Bet: Clean & great value for the money! Kitchens, laundry available.

We stayed at Pollack Halls (part of the Edinburgh First lodgings) as the first night of our recent UK trip. I can't recommend it highly enough! For perhaps half the price of any of the decent...

Considering everything in Edinburgh (As in the rest of the UK) is frighteningly expensive, this provides a value for money alternative. the rooms are small but clean and serviced regularly. There are...

Stayed for two nights only (thankfully!). The staff couldn't find our booking, the room was absolutely tiny and extremely overpriced. If you can find a B&B I would highly recommend it as this place is...
