Not with the money
Staff was generally unhelpful and couldn’t answer. Basic questions about the facility. There was a community room that they did not tell us about so we were unable to use it. The room was uncomfortable and dirty, the bed…

Questions about Edinburgh College Residence

What time is check-in and check-out at Edinburgh College Residence?

Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Edinburgh College Residence allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Does Edinburgh College Residence have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Edinburgh College Residence have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Edinburgh College Residence?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
