Summer Stays at The University of Edinburgh

Decent halls of residence. Grant House, where I stayed, was a little spartan but the overall campus vibe is nice. Breakfast was plentiful and decent scran. (but you must pay extra, even though it's not much.) Shower/toilers on my floor were a little cramped, but there were at least 3/4 to about 9 rooms so that's fair...

The room was a single bed with shared bathroom located at the Grant House on the property. I arrived early in the morning and was allowed to leave my bag with reception. I explored the city and came back in the afternoon to check in. My room was dated but clean. It has a single bed with two pillows and a duvet. It was comfortable to sleep in. The room has a sink in the room as well which was handy as I could easily wash up in the room. There is access to the common pantry on the same level with microwave, electric kettle and small refrigerator. Laundry facilities is also available on the same floor. There were 3 individual shower room on the same floor. I used my own toiletries as the ones provided didn’t feel adequate. The shared shower rooms were cleaned daily by the housekeeping team. I was given two sets of bath towels for my stay. Reception was open 24/7. Free Wi-Fi access and lots of power sockets within the room. Hangers were provided in the wardrobe as well. Breakfast was excellent. Lots of variety and plenty of fruits. Plus good selection of coffee, tea and juices. Good affordable accommodation for solo travelers. Location is easily accessible with local bus with bus stop just 5-7mins walk. Arthur’s seat is located just behind the property and easy access to a beautiful walk and hike.
