I’ve been all over the world I’ve stayed in Airbnb‘s hotels and locals homes but never in a hostel I think this is the Rolls-Royce of hostels. Very cute clean and creative set up safe and easy to find . However if you are claustrophobic the pod might be hard for you to get comfortable it can be hard to relax here if you’ve had a long trip lots of people in and out as my 10 person female only dormitory so if you are looking for a relaxing peaceful respite this is not the place lol but if you’re looking for affordable safe fun adventure book immediately . Also absolutely no parking available the closest parking is about a mile away and 45$ a night

The whole town knows it as the pod, a unique Japanese invention I believe. The sleeping cubicle is so comfortable but requires a small adjustment to the usual accommodation. The lobby is a friendly breakfast spot as well as a bar and staff is marvelous. Big area to cook in and an Italian family (doctors) fed me a pasta dinner they had prepared. Simply wonderful.

It’s centrally located so places are closeby. The staff are friendly. A minor issue was that the men’s toilets/bathrooms were in repairs on my floor so we were asked to use the facilities downstairs.

This was my first experience staying in a hostel - and it was a really good one! Code is located in such a convenient place, everything from train station to castle is under a ten min walk. The toilets and showers are amazing! Best shower I’ve had in a while. The pods are well kept and comfortable, most other guests are polite and respectful of noise. I would highly recommend wearing ear plugs to reduce the noise of snorers or people coming in and out. - they’re free from the front desk! Only downside to pods are two things - 1. It gets very hot in the pods over night. I struggled with this in march so can only imagine how hot it gets in the summer months (although you can get a fan from reception) 2. Climbing up and into the top pods is difficult. If you’re not strong enough to pull yourself up, I’d recommend requesting a bottom pod. Only bits of feedback I have; It would be really nice to get some sofas in the reception area to make it more cosy. I found that the communal areas were great - just not very inviting. The benches aren’t very comfortable. if I wanted somewhere to hang out and socialise, I went to coffee shops near by for that feel. Another thing I feel is missing is a changing area - if showers and toilets are busy, it’s difficult to find a space to get changed, unless you want to clamber about in your pod. But overall I loved the pods, great value for money, great location and I recommend!

Good location but unclean and no space
We booked a double en-suite room for a last minute trip and after looking through reviews thought this place would do however we found it to be very different from the reviews left. The room was tiny, and they had squeezed in the bathroom, which made it pretty much unfit for purpose, the sink stuck out so you could barely even turn around. The room itself was made to be like a “cell” to add a bit of quirkiness however it was grubby, there were marks all over the walls and the place just didn’t feel or look clean. The staff also gave off the vibe of being quite unapproachable. It is in a great location on the Royal Mile however I would not stay here again.

Couldn’t fault the experience. Surpassed all expectations. Convenient distance from the station and close to the Royal Mile. Ticked all the boxes as far as I’m concerned.
