Accommodation itself was difficulty to find ie the precise location on the campus.
Check in was chaos. Very long queue of guests which was out the door. Was very warm also. Very little info at check in - probably because the staff were trying to deal with the queue and it all felt transactional.
The room itself was fine and I slept reasonably well. Could hear noise from the hall and adjoining rooms. Some toiletries would have been nice. The breakfast was ok, nice choice of fruits and meats. Dining hall was loud. The price paid was decent compared to other places in Edinburgh.

The staff were really helpful. The breakfast spread was great. The dorm beds were really uncomfortable and I should have anticipated this! Also should have realized that there would be no shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer. Hand soap pump and a small bar of soap were provided. The buildings and grounds were good.

Excellent breakfast, clean room, quite and beautiful neighbourhood, rooms are compact but good; since it's for long term stay it does not have amenities like shampoo and body gel, you have to prepare for your own. Good transportation, bus station just right by the main gate. Checkin centre is not very easy to find but still very helpful.

Really liked this stay at Chancellor Court. The room was well sized and comfortable. Nothing too fancy but that was not needed at all. Bathroom was decent with a great shower. The view from the room of Arthur’s Seat was stunning. The floor pantry with microwave and mini-fridge is really helpful. There is plenty storage as well. The staff were absolutely wonderful and made us feel welcome. We were also able to store our bags with the reception at check out to do some last minute touring. Would recommend this place and stay here again.

Great location, very handy for public transport and getting into central Edinburgh or Waverley station. Good price too for a room in Edinburgh in the summer. The only downside is the facilities are very basic, with the toilet and shower out in the corridor. I'd stay here again, but only for a night or two. I wouldn't recommend it for a longer holiday, unless you're actually a student and happy with student-standard accommodation.

The room was clean (aside from some strange marks on the carpet) and had everything you’d need for one night. The breakfast was amazing, especially considering it’s included in the price! The bathrooms were very small and not the cleanest and there were no fans or AC which wasn’t ideal given the heatwave. On the whole I’d recommend but not for any longer than 1/2 nights.

I wasn't expecting much from a dorm room, but what a disappointment. The room smelled like dirty socks, the shower barely got hot, the tv didn't work, and the room was cold. It was also incredibly noisy. There were some large groups of students (presumably foreigners on tour) and lots of other travellers. Doors were banging and people were talking loudly in the halls until 1 am. A word to the wise (especially if you're a mature adult): pay the extra and stay in a proper hotel.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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).

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.

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.

This accomodation was a good price relative to other accomodation in Edinburgh. We enjoyed the breakfast which is served buffet style in the university refectory which is a quick walk from the halls. We ate a couple of nights at Arthur's which was also a reasonably priced and was tasty. There was also the option of eating in the refectory.
The downsides were the beds which I found to be hard and the tiny TV in the room. We appreciated the shower gel, nice towels and the heated towel rail which kept the towels warm and dry!

The halls are a bus ride or a 25 min walk from town, however convenient for a walk up to Arthur's seat.

The whole experience was fun and felt different to a bog-standard hotel. My 10 year old son really enjoyed it!

As before (I've attended several times) the Pollock Halls came up trumps with the standard of its accomadation and food. Reception is well-set up and friendly and your room key is ready and waiting. Because it's student halls security is exceptional without being too fussy. Car parking has been tightened up, but with a pass to display during your stay there are spots around the campus where you can leave your car. Edinburgh is not car friendly, so it's handy that local bus services run regularly to and fro to the city centre - which otherwise is a 15 minute walk away. Given the drastic increase in costly hotel accomadation, the Pollock Halls are a godsend. For the first time I encountered noise in adjacent rooms from a group of youngsters returning late from their gig on the Fringe. The walls are a wee bit thin, but I survived. Both the buildings and the gardens are extremely well kept.

The bathroom was not cleaned, it was still dusty when we arrived even though we had to wait 45 minutes during the check-in

The location was wonderful, right by Arthur's seat and Old Town. The breakfast was great and staff were all very helpful. An ideal, affordable, option for visiting Edinburgh!
