    Pods were beautiful. Bathrooms were crystal clean. Everyone was very friendly. The free walking tour is highly recommended and the whiskey tasting in the cellar is a must do! 🥃😁👌🏼

    I could have spent more time there :)

    The female dorm room was very quiet. Fresh air from the window. Sturdy ladder up to a "pod" like a Japanese capsule hotel unit) with 2 USB jacks for charging, and little places to put things nearby. Luggage locker on which you create and use your own code worked well. The bathroom had clean, updated shower cubicles and I felt very comfortable and safe. Nice variety of breakfast items.

    The particular room I was in was next to the stairwell, but even there I was able to sleep. No other noise apart from that.

    The double room was very updated and clean, with lovely soaps from Rituals. Similar in size and efficiency as the rooms in which I've repeatedly stayed in New York City (Pod 39). I'm in the city to see what's outside and then sleep. Lather, rinse, repeat. :)

    Great value, an excellent budget price option but remember it's a hostel not a hotel

    It's hostel so don't expect frills and lounges. Being on the Royal Mile meant it was a little noisy into the night but once everyone had gone home it was very quiet.

    Location is excellent but can be noisy while the Royal Mile closes down. Room was very comfortable and although a hostel having a private room wasn't so different to a hotel. For a city as expensive as Edinburgh this is an excellent low price option.

    Edinburgh is really a stunning city with so much to see and do.

    The beds could have been more comfy but that is just me and my bad back lol. The sleeping pods were great and so were the rooms. You get your own cupboard and coat hook.

    Location was perfect as it was right in the centre of town and not even a minute walk to the Royal mile. The hostel is really modern, attractive and has everything you could need and want. I did not have the breakfast but apparently you can have waffles. Everything was clean and tidy and the staff were extremely helpful. Old town is really stunning and there is so much to do and see. I went on a ghost tour to Greyfriars Graveyard and the Edinburgh vaults which was just perfect for a horror nut like me.

    I highly recommend coming to sleep here. Clean, clean sheets, clean and new bathroom, friendly staff who were able to fulfill my every need and problem with other people making noise by talking loudly and shouting in the room while one wanted to rest. Excellent attention and response from the staff who scolded them twice, very kind, delicious. Located right in the center, just step outside and you have everything in front of you. Shops, historical landmarks. The hostel is equipped with a kitchen and various services. Very very nice, I will definitely come back here. Like feeling at home.

    Very thoughtful interior - in the pod you have 2 types of individual lights, shelf, 2 usb ports, a rail (e.g. for your towel) and a hook. Apart from that you have a locker, a long countertop so you don’t need to keep everything on your bad and a big mirror. Great location, cool interior and nice staff.

    Stayed twice on a trip around Scotland. Pods are cosy, comfy and private. Building and room lockers secure and safe. Pod room and bathroom clean, quiet and tidy. Respectful fellow travellers. Lounge a great place to work or hang out, and kitchen tidy with everything you need. Location right in the middle of Old Town – perfect during festival season. As a 35+ woman travelling alone, I felt comfortable throughout both stays.

    I had a problem with my locker code number and had to go down to reception to get it sorted. Luckily it was an easy fix.

    The location was as central as you could possibly get, a few yards off the Royal Mile. It was handy for transport. I liked the pod idea as it meant you had your own little space. The breakfast was really nice as well.

    Breakfast. Ordered day by day as things were not working...very badly layout. No signs/labels. When everything works, it's fine for £6 but waffle maker was not working. Coffee machine was not working and no sign to state that only 2 out of 4 slice toaster works. Ps. Don't understand the logic of the 'double' room design where you cannot access your bed except from the end of the bed? Chop off 2/3 of the wooden panels on either side of the bed will help.

    The location. The conversions/sense of place.

    Even though I stayed in the “courtroom” which was around 30 beds/ pods in one room it was awesome!! Great layout, great room, comfy stay and no noise or unreasonable disturbances at all. Also very clean and well maintained standards throughout. Unbeatable location, and as a solo traveller would stay again. Highly recommend
