The rooms are neat and good even though its small! The price is reasonable and right for the place! + the room cleanness. + the break fast. + the service. - distance from city centre. - food choices - as its campus accommodation hard to find shops and after 7 pm every thing is closed.

Now named Edinburgh Conference Center, the place is inside Heriot Watt University, where I was studying. A lady comes to clean everyday. Facilities are in good order. Check out their website.

I stayed for 4 days in the guesthouse of the Heriot-Watt University. The service was good, although the building is building looks rather old. The sleep quality was good, and there was a full Scottish the breakfast included in the price. The only negative aspect was the distance from the city centre (about 40 mintes by bus). The univeristy is... More

As others have noted, this is not the best choice if you are looking for a luxurious stay, with close proximity to the city centre. However, it is an excellent choice for the value traveler. I rarely ride buses, but found the bus service from Heriot-Watt to Princes street to be very easy and convenient. The rooms at the university... More

good clean hotel . to find your way to reception use car park C which is about 100 metres in just past mini roundabout and follow signs to main reception. If you need to drop your luggage off you can park near main reception at the drop off point for 10 mins.

I have stayed in HW 4 times and I always want to come back. I went there for the first time when I took a summer course and had to stay for 5 weeks. I loved it. Rooms are small but cozy and warm. Housekeepers are very nice, fast and efficient. All buildings have a TV lounge, a kitchenette and... More

I cannot fault the cleanliness of the room. The bed was comfortable and the towels were soft. Kettle and tea/coffee/hot chocolate were provided which were welcome. The actual accommodation was satisfactory. However, I do think that the signage of where to "check in" should be clearer as the campus is quite large and there are a lot of buildings that... More
