About


Summer Stays at the University of Edinburgh offers a campus lifestyle to individuals and groups seeking facilities to sleep, eat, learn and train. Located at the foot of Arthur's Seat – the city's iconic ancient volcano – it is within easy walking distance of the Old Town and the main attractions. With ample coach parking and 24-hour security and reception, the university’s Pollock Estate gives an ideal base to explore all that Scotland’s capital has to offer.

From the early June to the beginning of September, the student campus transforms itself into the largest hotel in Scotland. With 2,000+ beds available, it can cater for all budgets and accommodation needs. Spread across eight buildings, Summer Stays offers twin and single bedrooms. Over 950 are fitted with ensuites, and the remaining rooms share bathrooms. Accessible buildings and rooms are available, which can be adapted to suit guests with disabilities.

For groups the estate offers a variety of meeting spaces, available to be hired for socialising, teaching, physio rooms, or to serve as an office. There is also an onsite shop which offers snacks, sandwiches, and soft drinks.

Breakfast is served at the 650-seater JMCC Restaurant and is included in all stays. Self-service lunch and dinner are available to book on a dinner, bed & breakfast or full-board basis. For sporting groups we are experienced in maintaining athletes’ dietary requirements, and can cater for most requests. On days when you are exploring or have an early morning, all meals can be packed and ready to go with advance notice.

There is plenty of outdoor space on the estate – brilliant for just a bit of downtime in the fresh air. Added to that, Holyrood Park is right on your doorstep: it’s the largest green space in Edinburgh (650 acres!), with an extinct volcano and lochs, as well as medieval ruins and historical attractions dating back to the Bronze Age for guests to explore.
