Hotel Description
Located at the foot of the royal Holyrood Park and Arthur's Seat the Pollack Estate campus offers bed and breakfast accommodations during the University of Edinburgh's summer vacation. Each room on the campus features a free Wi-Fi and shared laundry and pantry facilities. Some rooms also offer a TV and a safety deposit box. Linen and towels are provided in all the rooms. Pollack Estate is just 1.5 miles from Edinburgh Waverley Rail Station and the historic Old Town where guests can find the Royal Mile the hub for many of Edinburgh's festivals. In the mornings an extensive breakfast is offered in the self-service restaurant at John McIntyre Conference Center. This is just 5 minutes' walk from the rooms. Further local amenities include a general shop and a dedicated 24-hour reception center. 'From 21st August contractors will be on-site to complete essential pipework within the Pollack Estate which may result in noise at times. We apologize for any disturbances this may cause. Access routes to certain buildings may be temporarily restricted but alternative walking routes will be clearly signposted. Contractors will be onsite between the hours of 8.30am - 5pm Monday to Friday. Thank you for your understanding and support as we work to maintain our infrastructure.'

Very disappointed with the facilities

Liked: The grounds are lovely and Arthurs restaurant is brilliant. Staff did their best The breakfasts were hearty and plenty of it. Although queuing was a bit irritating and it was very noisy because of the amount of people in the room
Disliked: The accommodation was dirtyThe bathroom had mould around the shower screenThere was a wooden board that was damp and dirtyThe bedding was inadequateThere were only 2 tea bags in the room and when I asked for more the staff said they didn't have any. They would get some but I asked every day for 3 days and was told they still didn't have any. In the end I asked why someone had not gone out to buy some at the sops. They had no answer for that.

Short and sweet.

Liked: The onsite campus and facilities, such as shop, bar, restaurant.
Disliked: My room was not very comfortable for the money, the TV was small and old with poor reception. The room was tired, and needs updating. Expensive bar. Lack of staff, and using a robot instead was a little gimmicky. A bit chaotic at breakfast.

Excellent in Edinburgh

Liked: I was so happy with my stay here. The room and breakfast and Uni in general were all fantastic. I was so comfortable and felt very safe. I had a great view of Arthur's Seat from my room. The whole experience exceeded my expectations for sure. It was fun to feel like I was back in my college days!
Disliked: everything was great for me, the location is a bit out of the city center, but I love walking and also used the bus
