Reviews of Edinburgh International Conference Centre
K. K.
I attended a conference for the first time in about two years. The team from the security on the door to the cloakroom and at the coffee stations were really welcoming and helpful. The venue felt really safe from the pandemic and there was plenty of opportunity to socially distance both in the auditorium and during breaks. Top marks to the team running the event and the EICC
A. D.
Great venue and disabled parking and lift just a great day out at the 80s com icon at the eicc edinburgh.
T. C.
A very beautiful place at a beautiful location in beautiful city!!
Hugely spacious building with high quality auditoriums and suites!!
Comfortable environment with high quality sound systems!!
Really liked to attend conference here!!
S. “. S.
Great conferencing facilities and Leith did the catering for us and they were wonderful and the food tasted home cooked and not regular conference food. This conferencing complex is ideal for very large meetings, we had 800 delegates but this place could easily accommodate more.
M. Ś.
Great place but tickets are difficult to get.
Only seen it from outside, looks impressive.
Need to get in next time.
Z. H.
This is currently used for the administration of the vaccine to help protectyou from covid. . This was well implemented as 8n there were many people to ensure you went safely to have the vaccine and this meant that social distancing was adhered.
I. A.
Impressive modern complex, which is being used as a vaccination center at the moment. Stay safe and healthy👍

Very clean with knowledgeable team. Venue is located near bus and tram routes. A lot of space being used in the Covid19 vaccine rollout but space is not an issue here. Very accessible for people with limited mobility.
D. A.
I've been to numerous events here of all sorts. Company annual staff events, conferences, vaccinations, dance performances, AGMs, wine fairs.... The facilities are always clean,, operational and the centre staff very competent.
K. O.
Spacious, well-organized venue. Photo of set of amazing theatre performance Black is the Color of my Voice.

I went to the walk-in vaccination clinic. Not my favourite pastime! Accessibility is excellent. You can park right in front of the door with a blue badge and there is level access and a lift to the lower floor. It wasn't too busy so I got seen fairly quickly. Unfortunately, I left without being vaccinated as I requested a different vaccine from the default for my age group and even though they have it available, I was refused it. They make it seem like you can discuss it with the person doing the injection, but unless you bring some kind of medical letter, you'll not be given any choice in the matter. My 5 star rating is purely based on the venue and efficiency of 'processing' people through the system. Judge for yourself whether that's a good thing or not. And if you're not bothered about what vaccine you're getting, then it should be a smooth experience, irrespective of whether you're in a wheel chair, walk with sticks like me, or have no physical disability.
S.
Apart from the annual Comicon thats held there every year am not sure what else goes on there? If you are a Sci-fi fan/geek like myself I would definitely go!
A. T. F.
Lovely venue with very high quality gear in venue staff are really nice to especially the crew guys that work stage side
S. K.
Service from the staff is excellent. Food is unreal, I didn't think I would enjoy the menu on show but I was proved wrong.
Excellent facilities for conferencing. Only downside was that the seats can be uncomfortable after a few hours of sitting on.
L. G.
Great place, comfortable seats, screen and audio worked perfectly during the 3 days of the conference. The staff was great, always helpful.
R. A.
What a great event team... Dean, Chloe, Gary from EICC and David from Leith's Catering were phenomenal throughout the day. We had a shared venue day with "Harry" yet we still felt like we were "Top Priority". Mel loved it too!
R. M.
We had an exhibition here last week. It's convenient and well organized.
K. S.
Went to see Nigel Ng. Was absolutely brilliant. Very funny. The venue is very comfortable.
M. G. C.
Spacious conference room with good foot space too. Thoroughly enjoyed the show there. Very busy.
S. D.
Very nice conference centre in an excellent location. Good facilities and kind staff throughout. Cons...... Organisation of event could have been better. All lectures were on level 3 whereas refreshment sessions were on -2. This leaves very little time to mingle, have a drink etc amongst the time taken to get through the flow of people. Need better utilisation of event facilities e.g. sign posting outside event rooms should not be limited to A4 paper stuck to wall. There are computer display screens.... Why not make these available. Picture attached.
K. D.
Visited for my COVID vaccine, great set up! Everything was very smooth and well managed. No queues or waiting around. Staff were wonderful and explained everything clearly. Coffee shops nearby if you like me your bus turned up exactly as predicted on Google maps and you wind up being early!
L. B.
I'd never been here for an event of any kind and so I had no expectations when I arrived for my vaccination. The FoH staff from the front door and all the way through were friendly and very professional, most impressive. There was a slight queue but the staff were informative and delivered concise instructions to the queue. Well done everyone!
J. B.
Great venue but parking is terrible, best to walk or use public transport.
D. T.
The only thing that let it down was the quality of the filter coffee and the long quite for the ground coffee machine. Even thought there were 2 in the lounge only one of them was working.
C. U.
Had my first shot of covid vaccine here, nice staff they've got here
O. N.
Really nice venue. They were amazing at handling the technology, there were no audio/video problems and the food and service was top quality.
A.
Got my booster here, very efficient and Ellie was very nice!
J. B.
Extremely comfortable seats and excellent view of the stage.
M. C.
Played great background music while I got my vaccine...Bowie T. Rex
L. M.
Very clear markings and people on hand to guide you where to go to get your vaccination. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Toilets available. Everything is automatic in bathrooms and paper towels rather than air dryers.
S. G.
Attended for covid vaccination. Very simple process and all the staff were efficient and also welcoming. The system runs like clockwork and I was in and out in no time.Big thanks to the nurse who dealt with me...she was excellent in her role and made the whole experience stress free.
A. M.
Came here for my vaccination. Very well organised and amazing staff doing an amazing job. Particularly happy with the nice lady who questioned whether I should be in the over 40 queue, unfortunately I was in the right one!
D. W.
First class! I was seriously impressed by the quality of food, service and execution of a prestigious function at the EICC.
The secret to these things always lies in the planning, the communication and the vision. Collectively, the team of people responsible for delivering the Scottish Thistles on the 15th of March 2018, should take a bow! To manage to pull this off under the glare of your industry peers is even more impressive! The food was superb, the service slick, the supervision discreet and the staff efficient!
I don't doubt there were pressure points behind the scenes, but from your guests perspective I can tell you that everyone I spoke to was very impressed! Congratulations on a job VERY well done! 👏👏👏👏👏
S. G.
Visited for my first C-19 vaccination. Everything was extremely efficient; hand sanitisers everywhere, people requesting you use them. There were ropes so people going in were on one side, while people going out were on the other to maintain social distancing.
Once I got assigned to my cubical (there were many, possibly 30+), the nurse was lovely. She chatted away while I hiked my shoulder out of my top and I didn't even feel the injection itself!
All said and done, I was in and out within 5-10 minutes max. I was extremely impressed. 👏👏👏
K. “. H.
Well equipped and friendly environment.
Currently used for vaccination
C. C.
Unfortunately not the normal reason for a visit, however the vaccination centre is well organised.
Lots of staff ,sanitiser and queuing systems, you are directed to to lower hall which is massive.
The staff are very attentive if you have special needs or requirements.
Well worth a visit if you haven’t been already.
The only issue might be parking, there are some metered spaces on local side streets, opposite from the centre are single yellow lines.
There is a taxi rank outside, or you can take the bus or tram.
M. F.
Went to the conference centre for my vaccination. The NHS staff were friendly and informative and the service was excellent. Well prepared with proper social distancing and friendly staff throughout. Thank you very much for making such a difficult scenario seem so easy. Well done nhs Scotland.
J. B.
Was there for my COVID booster, well organised and not much of a wait
H. M.
I had my Covid 19 vaccination here, and I was very impressed with how everything was set up. Nice and easy, and everyone is super friendly and helpful. I have a bad habit of fainting after injections (I calm down too quickly XD) which I told the nurse about and she made sure I was ok. I barely felt the jag at all.
M. C.
I got both my vaccines done there and the staff and NHS nurses were great, they kept people at a safe distance and keep everything spotless. Thank you to them all for all their hard work.
C. B.
Had our Covid vaccinations there today. Everyone was so nice, the facilities were sparkling and it is so easy to get to with parking just around the corner. Really welcoming and staff did everything they could to help us! Bravo!!
I. T.
It was very good there for my flu vacation.
F. K.
I am highly satisfied with their service and professionalism. The nurse was extremely professional and i even didn't feel the injection. Done with the first dose of COVID19 vaccination.
P. L.
Went for my covid injection and first time in the building was pleasantly surprised by the size of the interior. Staff guided you to where you would get your injection and after speaking to a receptionist who asked details and sent you to the next person who passed you to the nurse giving you you're actual jab. After a few further questions and answering questions I had, the jab was given, no fuss, no drama a well rehearsed system that puts you at ease. Only drawback which was easily resolved was a large number of stairs which may cause problems for disabled ask a member of staff who will happily show you to a lift.
My thanks to all, whether NHS or not, who are helping to make what is a difficulty for many into a easier task.
R. C.
Was here on Friday for my first covid vaccination. Layout and sign posting was pretty clear and the big wide open space meant it was very easy to keep enough distance from others. It was quiet in the morning when I visited.
g. o.
No photos allowed inside so not able to show the number of free slots, could have a higher through put on the day I was there. Setup looks good other than zigzag tape area no way does that make sense.
J. B.
Been twice for my Covid vaccine. They have an excellent system in place, well organised and friendly staff. Arrangement are in place for wheelchair access. Very disabled Friendly.
L.
I went here to receive my Astra Zeneca vaccination. It was easy to navigate and not busy at my appointment and the medic staff/nurses were lovely to me. Very reassuring and informative
T. K.
Was here for Covid jag. V efficient & felt safe. 4-stars as, although not challenged on request, did feel had to be assertive at one point re hidden disability.
Quite a walk from front door, but there are lifts, plus a 'mini-hub' on ground floor/near entrance for those who need it.
Lots of dots both inside/outside building for socially-distanced queuing, but no queue today, nor on any of the days friends have been.
P. M.
Great conference venue in the heart of the city and close to national transport links.
T. M.
Beautiful and easily accessible venue throughout Scotland.
Conference room is very spacious and has plenty of breakout rooms if required
D. G.
Went here for a walk-in vaccine and couldn't have gone smoother! Very easy to navigate, staff was helpful and the nurses were very professional as well.
T. R.
I attended the Exhibition Centre for a Covid 19 jab.
The place was immaculately clean, and organised for attendees. Clear direction signs were posted with helpful staff throughout the building.
The reception staff were very friendly and clear, directing me to a waiting area from where I was collected and taken to a cubicle for the injection. The doctor was very informative about the injection and give the jab quickly.
The whole experience took less then 15 minutes.
I would implore everyone to get this injection and the second dose, when called. This is the only way we will defeat this virus. Don't listen to the no-brainers .... this action is Evidence Based Practice.
r. b.
Attended for covid vaccination. No parking on street nearby - try streets off Haymaker. Lots of helpful staff and signs. Works well if have your letter - need it at entrance and at booking in downstairs. Quick and painless vaccination. Well done to all staff.
s. c.
I’ve just had my second covid vaccine jab there. The nurse and first aide were very friendly and understanding of my phobia of needles.
E.
Great venue for a conference (Dibi 2017 in my case). The pentland auditorium was a good size and decent screen.
J. C.
This is a wonderful modern facility. It has many rooms of different sizes to accommodate any type of meeting. The main auditorium is well-designed and functional and has an ingenious design to carve off two smaller rooms from the auditorium. The only downside was the catered food was awful.
C. B.
A great, comfortable, modern venue with very helpful and pleasant staff (a special mention for Anna the Event and Box Office co-ordinator) 🙂
A. S.
Covid jab Centre, so well organised, spotlessly clean. Staff were brilliant.
Great central location as a conference center which hopefully it will return to in 2022. Also an excellent Fringe venue.
G. S.
Rather strange this revue, went for my second vaccine. It was a well organised, smooth, vaccine centre, in and out within 10 mins so clean.
Excellent
S. D.
Getting vaccination here was really well organised, in and out in 5 mins both times. Vax team doing an amazing job!
E. H.
Had Covid vaccine on Monday. Semple Street car park nearest if coming by car - a 4 min walk across the road. Maybe 'google it' as a bit tricky to find entrance. Amazingly well organised with very friendly staff, Was in and out in 15 minutes. Thanked them all - they have a really long day. So appreciated their work. Always good to acknowledge.
L. G.
Attended, in late February 2021, a Covid-19 Mass Vaccination Clinic at the EICC. It appeared to be a very well organised procedure: marked pathways, plus plenty of alert smiling staff on hand to guide the way, continual refreshing of stair hand rails, restroom spaces, and the vaccination cubicals. Plus there was plenty of space between those being vacinated, and the NHS and administrative staff. I sat for 15 minutes before leaving the building though it wasn't offered as an option as I had expected it to be.
S. C.
Modern venue for conference, no phone reception downstairs though so be prepared. Free WiFi was offered as part of conference however.
M. H.
Fantastic place with dedicated and friendly staff.
Super venue.
J. R.
felt a bit like children of men but the staff were nice and now I have great 5G coverage everywhere
s. l.
I went to The Edinburgh International Conference Centre for my first vaccination . The NHS people there were very helpful , and they put my mind at rest about the Covid 19 vaccination.
M. R.
Went there for my 2nd vaccination. So we'll organized, didn't feel a thing and in and out in 10 minutes. Well done Scottish NHS.👏👏👏
S. L.
Went to get my vaccine here was very efficient and it's great the centre has helped out with this crisis.
A. A.
Great venue. Different size rooms that can accommodate different audience sizes. Highly organised with lots of employees standing around ready to help, welcoming and smiling. Well maintained and clean utilities. Amazing venue. It would help having more escalators and elevators. The location is great too, central.
L. B.
I dropped my fiancée off here for her covid jab. From the outside the building fulfilled all my expectations by not falling down and crushing me to death. So that's good.
J. B.
Good customer service and directions. Friendly staff and good communication. Good communication with the nurses and good explanation of side effects if any and what to do
M. S.
We went here for Comic Con. As a venue it did the trick. There were lots of venue staff dotted all around the place. The were all smartly dressed and helpful. The facilities were clean and tidy. The only thing I'd say is that there could have been more people staffing the ticket desk, but that appeared to be being handled by Comic Con staff as opposed to staff from the venue itself.
N. B.
Being used for Covid vaccine so can't review as a conference centre, but setup for the vaccine purposes was good. Clear, well mapped, wide paths.
C. F.
Fantastic vaccination experience here on both occasions I visited. Fast efficient and friendly. A tribute to the NHS and its amazing staff.
A. D.
The personnel was very polite and did the job perfectly. Catering was great, enough drinks was provided for quits a large conference (europython 2018). All lecture halls are very comfortable, properly equipped. The network is not really designed for a large group of people, but it worked somewhat
D. M.
So happy to have received the vaccine. My hat comes off to all those involved in the process of keeping us safe as we try to get back to our normal lives, whatever that maybe like!
H.
Although the rooms are modern with stadium seating and good A/V and the staff is friendly and helpful, the facility itself is quite poorly designed. This means that when it's time for 2000 people to break out all at the same time, it's an absolute nightmare (and possible safety hazard), getting 2000 people in and out of only 2 doors in the auditorium, up and down the moving staircases and through the exits out onto the street. The ladies lavatories do not even come close to being able to accommodate even a quarter of the amount of women, the bars are not staffed with enough people during the breaks and they have a not very efficient system in place for tallying and paying for your purchases making the entire process even more tedious. All of which results in the fact that you essentially spend your break waiting to get out, in, up, down or on the queue to try and use the lavatories or getting something to snack. It's actually faster to go outside to grab something to eat/drink.
L. p.
It's quite big to have major events. I went to have my vaccination. Very well organised and clean.
s. M.
I visited there for my vaccination great arrangement full secular and very helpful staff. 100% satisfied.
thanks all staff.
thanks NHS
D. R.
Got my second vaccine there. Easily navigated. Very clean. Very helpful staff
L. d. F.
Went here for both covid vaccines and was very impressed with the process. Well organised. Quick and easy. Well done
R. R.
Had my 2nd covid jag there,was very impressed with the set up,only in there for about 10 mins max,was that well run
G. A.
This is a great place to have companies to hold their annual conference's,and can be used for all types of events.
S. D.
Great venue Large rooms to accommodate various size audiences. Helpful staff. Only slight issue was there was a fire alarm and the movement out of the crowd out was surprisingly slow with only one of four fire doors open where we excited. Can only hope if there was some real danger things would move more swiftly.
J. C.
Went for my vaccine,arrived twenty minutes early out twenty mins later. Nice building, well organized for covid and friendly helpful staff
j. h.
Haf First covid vaccination today, centre was extremely clean and well laid out, all staff and nurses were extremely helpful and friendly.
s.
Great layout, easy to get about and find what was needed. Excellent staff! I think the downside for me would be that there needed to be bigger or more lifts (elevators) there were many of our party who where in wheelchairs and many who had suitcases and where dtuck with one insufficient tiny lift. Otherwise. All good.
J. K.
Here for a virus jab and the Staff both medical and those working for the Centre could not have been more helpful. Special thanks due to Debbie Rose the Corporate Manager for whom nothing seems to be too much trouble.
C. H.
Went for a vaccine. Fine. Felt safe with good distancing. Very busy.
L. L.
Best in class conference center. Here for the excellent FIRST 2019 Conference. Excellent seating and AV support. In interesting Haymarket area on old Edinburgh. Great restaurants and parks. Fine Scottish food and beer. Great time for Computer Sec professionals
K. C.
The vaccine centre was very efficient and well run. The retired GP who gave me my injection put me at ease and explained everything very clearly
I. B.
Amazing EICC team. We've collaborated 2y ago for an event for which we booked the entire EICC and they have been helpful in any possible way from first step of the process until the last day of the delivery of the event. Kudos to the entire team and their catering and event management collaborators. The building itself is quite unique and very versatile offering the opportunity to accommodate various types of events.
M. M.
Food prices and drink are very expensive, for the quality.
Layout is good and staff look friendly and approachable.
Toilets were clean, but leaked in the men's which created a small pool. No slippy notices were put up.
The event we attended was for comic con, nice to see they put out free water.
S. M.
Went for my vaccine jab here. Extremely well organised and lovely people. Had the astrazeneca vaccine no problems!
n. l.
Great building and conference rooms. It is a bit cumbersome to navigate. The catering is tasty but expensive. The portion on the small side. The vegetarian options were not balanced, for example one day, we had stuffed pasta with rice and potato salad!!!
T. M.
Been here a few times for everything from conferences to festival shows. Always excellently organised and able to handle different sizes of crowds. Refreshments are a little of the steep side for the selection available, though this isn't surprising for this type of venue.
D. S.
Had my jab at the EICC. Really well organised and felt incredibly safe. Great team! Well done and thank you! Pavement to pavement time 11mins.
N. H.
There for my second jab. So well organised with lovely people making sure you knew where to go where to wait and who would give you the vaccine. Thanks to all.
M. L.
Staff are really friendly and helpful. There are lots going on. Only thing I would say is to make sure you mobile phone is secure in your pocket when sitting in the auditorium. My phone fell out my pocket without me knowing and I stood up and the seat folded and crushed my phone. It was destroyed. Other than that it was a very pleasant place.
H. G.
Saw dead ringers this evening - very clever, very topical and very funny. Thoroughly recommend this show
M. M.
With regard to it being used as covid vaccine Centre it is fantastic. Well thought out, efficient, nearby parking
B. N.
Used as a vaccination hub just now(covid 19)well organized,in/out in minutes.
K. J.
I was there for my 2 nd covid injection was very well run I was in and out in about 10 mins
M. P.
I was here for the Covid 19 vaccine so it was a fast experience of about 15 minutes. The building was modern and well kept.
R. D.
Good sizable venue for Comicon
S. B.
Went for Edinburgh Comic Con and Wass not disappointed. Was a very nice atmosphere and had many friendly staff that were all very helpful. Food was also delicious however may have been on the pricey side. Overall a great place to visit
J. B.
We did get booster vaccine
A. M.
Saw Jimowen he was absolutely brilliant. Cant say the same for the staff of the venue who were rude and herding us like cattle! An unpleasent start to what should have been a good night. Power crazy !!! WOW
P. H.
Receiving vaccine, very nice place and quick as well not doubt that's more of the NHS staff
M. W.
Under its guise as a vaccination centre this place was operated very well by lovely people. Excellent jabbing.
M. B.
Went for my vaccine. Was very clean looking. Lots of space. Very well organised.
T. G.
Was here for food festival. Festival was good and the centre itself is well laid out clean and easy to navigate. The baby changing facilities are poor, they are clean but the changing area is basically a large concave oval in the counter.
A. W.
Beautiful and clean venue for comedy gig tonight
K. m.
Got my first jag staff are friendly and tell you what way to go. I hope my second jag is there cos I'm now familer with the place now.
R. M.
Used the drop in vaccine service. Friendly and efficient staff. Wasn't too busy.
A. R.
Went for my covid vaccination at 17:50 hrs .when I got there it only took about 5 mins to go in and get the vaccination and get back out.
A. S.
Very well organised venue for the Covid Vaccination Centre with lots of staff assisting you to the Pods for the Vaccine.
J. A.
Went to the temporary vaccination center. Top notch facility with superb organization. Props to the NHS!
K. C.
The centre was fit for purpose you can easily find your way around the building and there are lots of staff that will help if you need it.
S. K.
I went for my second covid injection on Friday all the staff were exceptionally helpful .
R.
Very organised and clean inside. Currently being used as a vaccination centre.
I. W.
Worked fantastically, at least for me, as a Vaccination Centre.
Recall it well from past Conferences. Trust it soon reverts to that role.
S. B.
Difficult to rate this venue as it really depends on what you are doing here. Starting to be used a bit more for publicly available events such as gigs, festival venue and markets such as 'Foodies' . Was under used for years. Large spaces which are comfortable, well lit and open.
K. T.
Went here for my vaccination. In and out with no problems. Very well laid out. Helpful staff inside and out.
A. G.
Went for a comedy show in the Pentland Suit to see Rhod Gilbert, had a great night. The centre was well laid out and run with Military Presision. It was clean and the auditorium was very comfortable with air con to make it a pleasant expeariance😁😁😁
R. S.
Got my covid jab today at EICC. Excellent place to hold the vaccinations. Very well organised!
S. F.

D.
Very nice easy efficiently handled as regards 2nd jab. Thanks to all who made it so
No never mind the doomsters
A. L. G.
Great venue plenty of room, clean and very comfortable.
T. M.
Nice modern Building, its being used as a mass vaccination centre at present so can't make a proper evaluation.
R. B.
A large open space which hosted an exhibition. Various stalls were set up for exhibitors to utilise to display their goods. Very little space to sit and chill.
A. D.
Went for vaccination, very helpful staff, quiet and nice place.
M. M.
One of the best run conference centres in the world, the EICC is an incredibly well oiled machine, with every detail carefully thought out so you don't have to. Catering is beyond first rate with Leith's, head and shoulders above the rest with quality local produce. A great space, everything goes without a hitch here. Have been coming for events for several years here now and would be my first choice to run an event if I needed to in Edinburgh or UK. Marshall and the team are friendly, hard working and deliver excellence.
N. T.
Beautiful place with awesome weather
S. C.
Got my first covid jab here. Well signed and organised. The loos are available if needed.
A. E.
Nice environment. Staffs are friendly
J. M.

B. H.
All staff were very professional and ensured everyone was kept safe and greeted with a nice friendly smile
A. K.
Went there to get vaccinated. NHS manage the venue really well .
J. T. T.

J.
Had a great day at the foodies fair 😃
P. W. G.
Very well organised. They are dishing out, jaggin n jabbin a whole lotta doses.
B. V.
This convention center is not large enough for the SPIE conference I attended summer 2016. The common areas were packed during coffee breaks, the small meeting rooms were cramped and the lower floor where the evening poster session was well beyond safe capacity. This would be a bad place to be in an emergency.
The staff here were very friendly and helpful.
A. D.
Positives: Good location; nice, new look; clean; comfy seats; negatives: the bar - the worse wine I've ever tasted; no free car park; overall - OK.
J. M.
Excellent went with my wife fir our covid jab,s, well organised very friendly staff reception and nhs staff, in and out no problem.
M. A.
I've walked past this place often - but it's like the tardis! There were at least 4 shows on in there when we visited during the fringe - so there were thousands of people in there - but it still didn't feel overly busy. Cracking venue.
A. T.
Very well laid out...ample spacing, totaly covid compliant. Totaly competent personnel...was in and out within 10 mins...
D. H.
Was excellent, had covid jab today and was so well organised, even when the snow was so deep outside, there was help at hand.
M.
Been here twice for xomicon and both visits have been great. Friendly staff and great facilities. Easy to get to and parking within walking distance. Would advise doing a little research regarding parking before going though.
H. S.
I went to get vaccinated. They are very helpful. I was very satisfied. Thank you.
J. R.
I didnt realise how big this place was all the staff at vaccination centre were very helpful 1st class
A. B.
One of the best conference centres in the United Kingdom. It has great hospitality, food catering and can host large number of events.
E. K.
Went to Comic Con and it was brilliant. Nice layout, clean & tidy and helpful staff. Didn't use the cloakroom or bar so can't comment.
D. B.
Magical. Just go once before you die. The lone piper playing from high on the castle ramparts at the end of the performance makes the hair at the back of the neck stand on end. The massed pipes and drums are an amazing spectacle. Accommodation in Edinbugh can be expensive all year round but with a little effort some gems can be found at a reasonable cost.
i. t.
Great, well-designed building, prime location, smart and friendly staff, good acoustics. A high quality venue, and they have large and small halls in there for any kind of event.
S. S.
Went here for the foodies festivalnas a trader, the olace is huge and everything was well laid out, they were organised and efficient in getting traders vehiclesnijband out safely. The security took their job seriously they were very present throughput the whole event and were similar to that of mi6 with their earpieces and matching uniforms, i felt very safe :)
A. J. H.
What's that? A Covid Vaccine? Yes please! I got my one here and it was lit!
L. A.
Went there for my Covid vaccine, really organised and quick.
C. F.
The seats in the main hall are so comfy I'll book to see anyone here during the fringe just to sit for an hour. Frankie Boyle had someone thrown out for heckling. They obviously haven't sat in such a great seat before.
K. H.
Went for my covid jabs.....
Very organised, and well layed out
d.
Very kind to provide their spaces for COVID 19 vaccination purposes. Thank you 💖
