Edinburgh Hostel review: University of Edinburgh - Edinburgh First

For budget accommodation Pollock Halls ticks all the boxes. We stayed in single rooms with shared bathroom, and so it was, as expected quite basic. You do get what you pay for. The breakfast, although a bit of a scrum as it was during the festival, offered a great variety of choice and was good quality. It saved us from needing to buy lunch.
I thought the initial arrival was pretty poor in terms of service. I had booked the room a good three months ahead, and yet my friend and I were not in adjacent rooms, in fact we were on different floors in different parts of the building. On questioning this, the staff member was very dismissive and unsympathetic and didn't offer to do anything about it, it was a case of 'tough luck!'
