I can't believe what an amazing building this is. We stayed in the rooms with the lofts, and they are gorgeous and very well appointed. Each room had a turntable a guitar and lots of nice little amenities (I used the hot water bottle to sooth an aching shoulder). The guitar has a tuner on it too. The mini bar area is very well stocked, and it is quite reasonable priced. They want you to have a beer, and they're not going to make you pay £10 per beer like some hotels. We also got a keg in the room for a little bit more money, and there are of course the famous shower beers. The decor is really cool too--all based around their funky art they use for the beers. Even if you are not a big beer person, it is a great place to stay, The restaurant downstairs has delicious food with really nice portion sizes, and the breakfasts were included with our room--full breakfasts right off the menu, not a sad hotel breakfast. I especially recommend the vegan breakfast. We also got a free welcome beer and a free beer for not requesting towel laundry, although housekeeping did come every day to make the beds. They are well staffed and have lots of chill, friendly people there to help you out. Even if you're not staying at the hotel, go there to hang out in the bar or for brunch. They also have a nice terrace and patio to sit outside. The hotel is just a 10 minute walk from the last stop on the 100 Airport Bus, and it's really close to all the downtown sights. We were able to walk to just about every attraction from there. Finally, I have to say that it's a nice and quiet hotel too. It's on a quiet street, and the walls are very thick, plus there's two doors between you and the hall. I slept great there. Definitely a nice place to stay for anyone wanting to explore Edinburgh.

This hotel is the best we have ever stayed in. the staff was super nice and helpful, the rooms are beautiful and spacious, it is a magnificent building inside and out and the immaculate spaces make you feel like it’s a dream come true. we also had afternoon tea here which is a must! food was of the best quality one can imagine as well as the service and the live music played by a harp player on a small balcony above the sitting room. The friendliness and professionalism of each and every staff member was very helpful. The room was cleaned and serviced twice a day, bed was so comfy you never want to leave it . We were thankfully given a room with a marvelous view to the old town but make sure to ask for it in advance. Definitely stay at this hotel as it is truly an experience to remember!

    The flat was quiet, well-equipped, and very comfortable! It was a very easy walking distance to Old Town, the University of Edinburgh, and Holroyd Park with direct bus connections to New Town. Plus, Eric was an extremely kind and helpful host and even helped me retrieve my iPad, which I'd left behind. Such a lovely Edinburgh experience all around!

    This is a student accommodation owned by the University of Edinburgh, turned into a hotel during summer. I liked the location and how close all the buildings were (the rooms, reception and restaurant are all separate buildings). The room was somewhat spacious, with a big window. No noise coming from the outside. Breakfast was abundant, with a lot of hot and cold options to choose from.

    Stunning accomodations tucked away on the University of Edinburgh campus. We stayed during the summer when most students were away. The campus was very quiet, and there is security at the entrance. It is within walking distance to Arthur's Seat and the Royal Mile.

    These are individual dorms on the University of Edinburgh campus. The room is small but comfortable, with an ample-sized desk and desk chair and a comfortable bed. I also had my own sink in the room. Staff were very friendly, helpful and willing to answer questions. The location is not bad, with a short bus ride to the main attractions. Breakfast was quite good.

    Location is quite OK - right at the edge of Arthur's Seat, so it's a bit of a walk to the old city, but not too far really, and there are enough restaurants less than a 10 minute walk away. Note that the location on Google Maps is not correct; the actual location is "Pollock Halls of Residence, The University of Edinburgh", the modern building right in front of Saint Leonard's Hall.
