Visitor Facilities

As one of Edinburgh's largest accommodation providers, we naturally offer a wide range of dining options. In addition to breakfast, 3 course servery lunches and dinners are available every day in the John McIntyre Centre dining room.

Absorb Bar in Chancellor's Court is the place to head for coffee, pastries and light snacks. In the evenings, Centro bar in the John McIntyre Centre opens its doors to residents offering a fine selection of beers, wines and of course malt whiskies.

Guests at Edinburgh First can also benefit from the use of the state-of-the-art sporting facilities at the University's own Centre for Sport & Exercise. Situated just 10 minutes walk away from Pollock Halls, the Centre provides a wide variety of facilities to suite all abilities, including sports halls, six gyms and aerobic classes. Guests at Edinburgh First have priority access and benefit from reduced rates.
