I am writing this as I have given up trying to sleep. There is a party somewhere above my head which sounds like great fun, however as I am here at a conference to work I am becoming more tired and annoyed. I am surprised that conference accomodation seems to be scattered in among student accomodation and as other reviewers... More

We personally did not stay at the Heriot-Watt but those in our conference that did said it was excellent value and a very pleasant stay. We held a conference for 80 guests. The venue was excellent. We had exclusive use of the conference facilities - one large main auditorium and several break out rooms around it. The lunch was nice,... More

The conference center is pretty nice and the rooms are clean, but the noise level in from room-to-room is terrible. I heard people closing their doors and it sounded like it was the door in my room. Not much sound proof. The rooms are tidy, but if you are spending more than one night and need a good sleep to... More

The rooms are neat and good even though its small! The price is reasonable and right for the place! + the room cleanness. + the break fast. + the service. - distance from city centre. - food choices - as its campus accommodation hard to find shops and after 7 pm every thing is closed.

Now named Edinburgh Conference Center, the place is inside Heriot Watt University, where I was studying. A lady comes to clean everyday. Facilities are in good order. Check out their website.

As others have noted, this is not the best choice if you are looking for a luxurious stay, with close proximity to the city centre. However, it is an excellent choice for the value traveler. I rarely ride buses, but found the bus service from Heriot-Watt to Princes street to be very easy and convenient. The rooms at the university... More

good clean hotel . to find your way to reception use car park C which is about 100 metres in just past mini roundabout and follow signs to main reception. If you need to drop your luggage off you can park near main reception at the drop off point for 10 mins.
