Great location with easy access to all the major old town attractions. Only gripe is the stairs-only leading to the rooms so if you're on the higher floors, good exercise. ##### Ming Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### michael Oct 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Definitely worth the stay! Stayed in the cubicle rooms...16 people is too many for my personal taste, but the from was big.... However the cube can get stuffy at night... More than ample amounts of toilets and showers always clean and stocked...overall a worthwhile stay in an excellent area.... There is a market just up the street which is helpful for cooking meals in their kitchen... ##### michael Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicole Sep 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Location was fabulous!

We had a private room with our own toilet and shower but had to rent towels and pay for a locker to check out bags once we checked out. I would probably stay here again. ##### Kristi Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vania Jun 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent location!

Its your basic continental breakfast. Bread. Boiled eggs, cerial and yogurt. I stayed in a large pod room, the pods were spacious, had fun light options and it was comfortable. The location is perfect . Only thing i had an issue with was the showers . My floor was just a push to start shower with no temperature option and it was burning hot for me . ##### Vedrana Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kin Chung May 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Everything is good, capsule room is safe with high privacy, bathroom and toilet facilities are in well condition, highly recommended ##### Kin Chung Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jolly Apr 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved the hostel!

Pod gives you just the amount of privacy. Storages are enough to accommodate both personal and carry on luggages. If there's one thing I would suggest is an option to rent or have an AC or Fan in the Pod it's the only uncomfy part of staying there for me but overall everything was perfect. ##### McGerby Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lina Jun 2, 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Staff were very friendly. The water temperature on level 2 showers was beyond inhumane. At least 40+ Celsius. Showered on level 2 were better since you could adjust the temperature. There weren’t lifts so had to take my 20kg luggage to the 3rd floor. Staff were really friendly, toilets were generally clean. The top of bunk beds were disgustingly dirty. Dust accumulated for years probably. Ventilation on the room was poor and inside the cubicle as well making it hard to sleep ##### Lina Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Travelodge Edinburgh Central Queen Street](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Edinburgh-Central-Queen-Street.h4924301.Hotel-Information) > - [Staycity Aparthotels, Edinburgh, West End](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Staycity-Aparthotels-West-End.h4435260.Hotel-Information) > - [Best Western Kings Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Best-Western-Kings-Manor-Hotel.h5630.Hotel-Information) > - [Edinburgh Holiday Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Edinburgh-Holiday-Guest-House.h10240161.Hotel-Information) > - [100 Princes Street](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-100-Princes-Street.h74521691.Hotel-Information) > - [Miju Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Edinburgh-Lodge.h7724564.Hotel-Information) > - [Royal Princes Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Royal-Princes-Suites.h19758332.Hotel-Information) > - [Malmaison Edinburgh City](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Malmaison-Edinburgh-St-Andrews-Square.h38786208.Hotel-Information) > - [4 Friends House](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-4-Friends-House.h102535323.Hotel-Information) > - [Royal Garden Apartments New Town](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Royal-Garden-Apartments-New-Town.h44772296.Hotel-Information) > - [Beautiful Georgian Flat in Edinburgh - Sleeps 4](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Beautiful-Georgian-Flat-In-Edinburgh-Sleeps-4.h30315362.Hotel-Information) > - [Summer Stays at The University of Edinburgh - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Pollock-Halls.h1083952.Hotel-Information) > - [Destiny Student Murano - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Destiny-Student-Murano.h12921745.Hotel-Information) > - [Destiny Student Holyrood - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Destiny-Student-Holyrood.h12691403.Hotel-Information) > - [Northumberland Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Northumberland-Hotel.h888647.Hotel-Information) > - [Destiny Scotland Hanover Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Destiny-Scotland-Hanover-Apartments.h37952648.Hotel-Information) > - [Fingal - A Luxury Floating Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Fingal.h38753319.Hotel-Information) > - [JOIVY Quiet Mews Street Apartment in the Heart of Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Quiet-Mews-Street-Apartment-In-The-Heart-Of-Edinburgh.h36985561.Hotel-Information) > - [The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Caledonian-Edinburgh.h4198.Hotel-Information) > - [The University of Edinburgh, Baird House - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-University-Of-Edinburgh.h30551487.Hotel-Information) > - [JA The Bruntsfield - Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Edinburgh-City-Centre-Bruntsfield-Hotel.h20702.Hotel-Information) > - [Braid Hills Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Best-Western-Edinburgh-South-Braid-Hills-Hotel.h47821.Hotel-Information) > - [Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Mount-Royal-Hotel-Edinburgh-By-The-Unlimited-Collection.h802180.Hotel-Information) > - [Edinburgh College Residence](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Edinburgh-College-Residence.h95336115.Hotel-Information) > - [Sophisticated Edinburgh Apartment in City Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Sophisticated-Edinburgh-Apartment-In-City-Centre.h24279114.Hotel-Information) > - [Victorian Townhouse at Stockbridge](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Victorian-Townhouse-At-Stockbridge.h23803598.Hotel-Information) > - [My Thistle Street Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-My-Thistle-Street-Apartments.h44107797.Hotel-Information) > - [Roomzzz Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Roomzzz-Edinburgh.h88842761.Hotel-Information) > - [The Scholar](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Salisbury-Green-Hotel-Bistro.h3911559.Hotel-Information)
