"This was a beautiful apartment to stay in, with the perfect mix of historic charm and fresh, modern finishes.

However, reception responded quickly and made things right, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a lovely stay and I would definitely stay here again."

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"10/10. I stayed from Oct 7-13 in a superior suite because I didn’t want to share my space. It was absolutely amazing. The hostel as a whole was clean, cute, and safe. As a female solo traveler, safety was my main priority and I felt secure throughout my whole stay. The room was cute with an amazing view of St Giles Cathedral. I didn’t venture to the common shared spaces because my itinerary was full but the areas I did visit like the cafe and bar, I enjoyed. The location was perfect. On the Royal Mile. Close to many shops and restaurants. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend his hostel."

"Good stay - excellent spot right on the Royal Mile. Studio was a good size and so handy to have fridge, cooking facilities, iron and ironing board etc. Didn't realise whsn booking that the bed was actually a sofa bed and it was pretty comfortable so would probably look at a bigger apartment next time with a proper bed. The water pressure in the shower was also awful. Overall a decent stay, good facilities, great spot and discounted NCP parking."
