Stayed here during the summer and can't complain. The room was basic enough but had everything you need, including a big balcony looking out at Arthur's Seat. The breakfast was unreal and huge. They even give you a take away b/fast for your very early Ryanair flight. Very affordable and fantastic place to stay. Lovely bar food. Friendly and helpful... More

I stayed here for a conference. The room was really nice and clean, with a double bed and in every way similar to a hotel. It's in a great location with an easy downhill walk to the Royal Mile although you might want to take a cab back up the hill on the return journey. Great value all round. More

We stayed at Pollock Halls during the Fringe Festival and it was the perfect choice - convenient to venues and transportation, clean and spacious, and as a bonus, just steps away from the beautiful Holyrood Park. Staff is extremely helpful, especially considering how many people they process through in August. You can even pick up a phone at the front... More

This is not a B&B, not a hostel, not a hotel. It is a University accommodation renting rooms to anybody as soon as rooms are available. I have been at Edinburgh First twice, alone and with my mother (she liked it, and this is to prove that it's not a dirty or noisy environment) and always had a great experience.... More

Apparently all edinburgh hotels are overpriced during the festival and this is the cheapest/best I could find. My room resembled a prison cell, except nowadays prison cells come with a tv in their room. Mine diddnt. Shower was down the hall and luckily was never busy. More

I typically rent rooms from people when traveling, but since I was only staying the night in Edinburgh, I found Pollack Halls on Hotels.com. The price is descent for a hotel (around $65USA) and the staff was very friendly, helpful, and patient with me when I arrived. The rooms feel more like dorm rooms. The florescent lights flicker when you... More

All the staff very friendly and helpfull. Rooms very clean. The breakfast very good something of everything and as much as you could eat. About 20 minutes walk to Royal Mile and centre, frequent buses. This is value for money. More

I booked here for 1 night during August when every festival imaginable is on in Edinburgh. The price was 45 Sterling including breakfast which was very reasonable. The halls are located a good 10 minute walk from the city, less then 6 Sterling in a taxi & it's on about 5 different bus routes. The check in was busy but... More
