Pollack Estate is just 1.5 miles from Edinburgh Waverley Rail Station and the historic Old Town, where guests can find the Royal Mile, the hub for many of Edinburgh’s festivals. In the mornings, an extensive breakfast is offered in the self-service restaurant at John McIntyre Conference Center. This is just 5 minutes’ walk from the rooms.

"From 21st August, contractors will be on-site to complete essential pipework within the Pollack Estate, which may result in noise at times. We apologize for any disturbances this may cause. Access routes to certain buildings may be temporarily restricted but alternative walking routes will be clearly signposted. Contractors will be onsite between the hours of 8.30am – 5pm Monday to Friday. Thank you for your understanding and support as we work to maintain our infrastructure."

    The breakfast was amazing. It deserved its claim to be "legendary". The close proximity of the Royal Commonwealth Pool was an unexpected bonus. An interesting and pleasant walk into the City Centre.
