Sleeping pods are quite small, and the rooms

Easy check in, clean areas

Stayed in September 2022

I only stayed one day but was perfect for a short stay.

Cleaning leaves things to be desired (bit dusty), doors are very loud and squeaky and require quite some pushing power to properly operate. Whole place is pretty cold.

Good location, practical guest kitchen. Comfy downstairs guest space with TV and self-stockable fridge.

there is a lot of outside noise. pub goers yelling until 2am, & then from 6 am ish, rubbish trucks & delivery trucks clearly being heard. would get that anywhere in that part of town though.

the kitchen, bathroom & pod sleeping areas were pretty good, & were as described.

Pods are dark with no daylight coming in when shut - makes it too easy to sleep in for someone used to having light in the morning so best to have an alarm clock set!

Clean and comfortable, everything that was needed was there, including fancy soap / shower gel and hairdryers. Nice to have easy code access to get inside even late at night when travel is delayed. Pleasant, quiet space downstairs to sit and read or get work done in the mornings and evenings.

had taken the pods, the only issue was when we covered the curtains it used to get a bit hot, as there were no ventilation inside the pods, would have been great to have some air vents inside the pods.

location was superb, place was really clean and everything was sorted. code was given for entering the property and the room which was very convenient. wifi was fast and stable. bathrooms were very clean.

At first I thought the price was quite high for a bed in a shared room, but it was really comfortable and clean.

Very comfortable kitchen where you can find all you need. Even though there was no reception, the staff was very helpful (through the app). Very comfortable showers with a lot of space for your dry clothes. Easy check-in and check-out. Clean.

The dorm was quite cramped for 3 (and there were only two of us). It was a bit stuffy too.

Very well located, and the pods were very comfortable and private. Despite what other reviewers said, I barely heard any noise from the pub, or empty bottles being unloaded etc. The bed was nice and soft and plenty of USB points. Lockers were good size for 10kg bags. Kitchen was nice and clean.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t get the locker to work.

The service was fantastic. I came in quite late and because it was the Fringe festival, there was a bit of chaos. I called the reception number and they very quickly guided me and sorted me out. They were wonderfully kind and responsive.

One of the USB charging plugs in my pod did not work. Very little air flow in the pods made for some very balmy nights during this hot summer. A small fan to move the air around would be great.

Great location, ear plugs provided was a nice touch. Full kitchen with everything you could need. Staff were friendly and helpful. Pods are comfy, clean and have good, solid stairs.

It was shame because Edinburgh situation with litter collection was really off putting . was a little noisy at times with the bottle collection in the morning.

The conditions were kept very clean and it was a very friendly atmosphere .

I personally had a bug issue with the bathrooms, paying for an all female dorm I expected to also be usung a all female bathroom, however the bathrooms were shared with men as well and I found this to be extremely uncomfortable, I a

The sleeping situation was great as it’s very private with a curtai for your bed, the lockers in the room were also suoer easy to use and helpful

This review has been hidden because it doesn't meet our guidelines.

- During the heatwave (err one of them), the pods felt like ovens - moreso with the curtains closed. Not much circulation due to the windows not being able to fully open. There weren't any fans either, so that first night was really difficult. We kept waking up and having to take cold showers throughout the night. I requested fans (via email/phone because there isn't an on-site reception) on the second day of our stay and was able to borrow (with a deposit) 3 USB fans for the pods. This made a big difference for us, but the rooms were still hot. - The ladders to get to the top bunks are awkward - more strategically-placed bars to help get up/down? - The bathrooms, whilst communal, consisted of only 2 shower cubicles and 1 toilet. This was for our floor, anyway, so I'm not sure if this is the case for every floor. But for 8 people, there were times where we had to wait for the toilet/shower to be free (some people are more mindful than others with what they leave behind for the next person). On the plus side, there were shower gel/shampoo dispensers and plenty of TP. - The doors are very heavy so they slam closed. Also some of them get caught on grooves in the floor and stay open! Be careful of that. We came back to our door open on our last day (having requested fans)... nothing lost, fortunately. - The Internet was very patchy during our stay - which is a big issue when travelling. - There could be more of a sitting area, working area, cooking area, downstairs in the communal room (and outlets/condiments). - There wasn't a reception on site. - It was a long walk in a heatwave to Quinn's :P

- The location was ideal. Right off Princes Street (plenty of food options - try Stack and Still for breakfast!), which connects to Calton Hill as well as Old Town (try @pizza, Wings!) via an uphill road along Princes St Gardens. - There was a kitchen/seating area that was much cooler than the rooms (during a heatwave). There was also a first aid box that was readily available when we needed it. - The communal shower cubicles actually had a section to leave your stuff without it getting wet/also a space for you to dry off/change in after a shower. A curtain gave you privacy behind a frosted door to your cubicle. - The room itself came with a double bed on the top accessible by strangely-placed ladders (which makes it awkward to ascend/hold on to when getting down) and two pods (single bed) with sockets, shelves, and ear plugs (the ear plugs were really good quality ones and I have misphonia). There were 4 large lockers in the room as well as a hairdryer, hooks, a chair, and wide windowsills to place clothes/etc.

Having one stove was problematic at times if you plan on cooking for yourself. One bathroom stall per floor was not ideal. The pods get very hot at night with the curtain closed.

The building was very modern and the contactless entry/check in was awesome. The pods were awesome and really gave you your own space. The pods also had USB ports and storage within which was excellent. The lockers within the room were large enough to fit my 65L backpack. The location was incredible, right off the bus stop and an amazing view of Edinburgh Castle within a 30 second walk from the building.

There was a lot of noise from the pub, lots of very early (from 6am) loud glass bin smashing and shouting

Great and cosy at a good location. Not to noisy. Other guest at the stay friendly and easygoing, when we were there. Fine facilities.

I may have misunderstood this, but I thought this place would also have a co-working area. It doesn't! There's an open kitchen/ living room space but by no means quiet enough for people to work and maybe have a decent call. If someone cooks it can get very loud.

Perfect location, uncomplicated self check-in, comfy beds, lockers in the room and clean bathrooms

There is a lot of noise coming from the streets late at night and early in the morning, so it can be a challenge to get some sleep. The hostel does provide earplugs though, that was nice.

Very nice communal kitchen, very clean bathroom, more personal space than i expected in a hostel, all major attractions in walking distance.

Expensive. For the price, I think complimentary coffee and milk options should be available. It was quite noisy as it’s surrounded by pubs.

Clean, modern, calm interior. Loved the private pod. And the common room was great. The blonde cleaner was also a lovely person.

The WiFi was off for a whole 24 hours and the reception staff wasn't helpful at all to fix it.

The staff and the cleanness

Stayed in July 2022

It was very noisy from the outside (few pubs nearby so it is noisy both late in the night and early in the morning), earplugs helped a bit. Also, the locker is big enough only for smaller bags. Bigger bags and suitcases don't fit, so it can get little crowded in the room.

Spacious pod with curtain that really gives you privacy. You have a little shelf inside for your things and a place to charge your phone. I also liked location in the city centre, well equiped common bathroom, good free WiFi connection, earplugs provided.

Stayed in July 2022

Noisy. When they automatically give you ear plugs, you know its not a quite place. Rooms are too small for the amount of people. Luggage need to stay in the room as the place for them is way to small.

Nice lounge area on the groundfloor Good showers Well situated
