Staying in university or student accommodation in Edinburgh is a convenient and affordable way to stay in Scotland's capital city. With single, twin and double ensuite rooms from £30, it is a comfortable and cost effective alternative to staying in a hostel or a hotel. Rooms are available all year round, but mainly in the Christmas, Easter, and summer vacation periods.  The summer vacation spans the Edinburgh Festival and Fringe, making this an excellent accommodation option during this busy period.

Edinburgh B&B Reviews

"An excellent lodging option for budget travelers wishing to maximize their traveling experience and time abroad. The location is convenient for touring Edinburgh's Royal Mile venues and various museum sites. The breakfast meals and menu options were well organized providing an array of tasty food items. The reception area was very helpful in providing services. Thank you." Thomas Walsh, 2012.

No availability?

The University of Edinburgh now has availability all year round in guest rooms.  The majority of availability is, however, in the Christmas (December, January), Easter (March, April) and summer (June, July, August, September) vacation periods, when students clear their rooms. Rooms typically become available two to three months in advance, so please revisit the website within that period if nothing is available now, or go to our Edinburgh Bed and Breakfasts website for more accommodation ideas.
