the lady next to me constantly coughing at night No sockets on the pod space, only usb so had to charge phone far from bed.

absolutely amazing hostel , everything you need and so comfortable. Just right in the old town, 7 minutes walk from princess street. Beds are so comfy and facilities have everything you need. Toilets are spacious and clean with shower gel in dispenser .

I found nothing wrong with the place at all. There was cheaper options for other hostels but I believe the money paid for the hostel (£49) was well spent.

I arrived to a colorful back drop at the entrance, with calm music playing. Staff were very accommodating and respectful. It was my first time in Edinburgh (Scotland) and ever staying in a POD. I was very skeptical but they reassured me everything would be OK. They check your ID on arrival and show you around the facilities, you get your own personal locker which you can create your own personal code. The PODS are in bunkbed formation with about 12 PODS in our room. The bed were very comfortable, they included a USB charger bedside and a plug socket in the room, you also have a privacy curtain and a LED mood light in the POD. Although facilities are shared everywhere was spotless from the showers to the toilets to the walk ways and the rooms. Very impressed for shared facilities. Free fast wifi provided. Breakfast on request and complimentary Tea and coffee at the shared kitchen. The hostel provided free activities everyday along with free walking tours.

The location on the Royal Mile is absolutely fantastic, you couldn’t ask for a better hostel location! It is easy to find as well and the staff were wonderful when i arrived. I was explained to about the facilities and how to find my room well. The room itself is how I believe all hostel accommodation should be done! The pod style is a lot better than the bunk bed style. It immediately gives more privacy which I loved. I loved the curtain at the end as well to completely hide yourself. The lockers were great as well. Good bathrooms and showers. Felt safe as a solo female traveller as well. Fantastic for the price that you pay!

The bathroom could have been checked throughly but it was sufficient enough to use.

The location is prefect literally walking distance from Edinburgh Castle and it’s located in the middle of the city centre.

Nothing

amazing location! It’s right on the Royal Mile. Awesome restaurants and cafes nearby. The pod beds are great as well, you have a lot of privacy. Check in and check out we’re easy, and the staff was very friendly.

pods are a bit stuffy and warm at night, especially if the dorm is full. problem was resolved by turning the thermostat down and opening up the windows though!

location was amazing!! very close to the train station, and right by the cathedral! there are walking tours that meet right outside and performers down the street. despite the central location, it wasn’t loud at night. the pods are cute and private, and the curtains do a good job of blocking the main light if you want to sleep earlier. lots of shelves and space to put things in the pods and the bathrooms (which were so nice and clean!), and the lockers are big enough to fit a carry on luggage.

The price is high and needs to pay an expensive price for towel rent.

The shower and toilet locks barely work. And it would b lovely if there was a glass screen to separate the shower from where u have to get dressed after because the floor gets very wet

Most of the staff were great, very helpful too. Overall I really liked the facilities and room. It's just off the Royal Mile so in a great location.

Pods too small for average European, I would say

Smooth check-in, wide social programme

Stayed in April 2023

The room I was in was situated right next to the stairs leading to the Lost Close so there would be crowds of people coming and going every now and then during the day which meant some noise if you're having a siesta

Perfect location right in the Royal Mile! Comfy and warm pod (got too hot actually that I had to sleep without the duvet). Loved the lighting in the pod itself as well as the motion-sensor blue light. Numbered locker that corresponds to your pod. In collaboration with The Lost Close that organises activities.

Hard bed but that is subjective.

Great location. Private bed and good facilities. Very quiet.

The bathroom is in another floor. I think it should have an accessible bathroom for women. So that we don’t need to go upstairs for the loo and shower

I like that it is cheap and clean. Also the curtains for more privacy.

Nice hostel, the beds are comfortable and private, so you don't feel like you're sharing the room with many people. Breakfast is also good and with some options if you don't feel like making your own. Not expensive.

If you're a solo traveler, these pods are perfect because it has a curtain and it really feels like you have your own little space. The bathrooms were so clean and the location was right in the middle of so many things to do! The next time I'm in Edinburgh I'll absolutely be staying here again! Very impressed 😁

Stayed in April 2023

Everything was good.

This hostel is at the heart of the city center. Located at royal mile and has easy access to all the amazing places. Very effective space utilization. Cleanliness was amazing. Staff was really cooperative and helping. I would love to stay here again.

Fridges were very full, hard to fit your stuff in. You are not allowed to use the kitchen for your own breakfast,while they have their paid breakfasttime. Though you can still take your stuff from the fridge and eat it on the go. Some people don't understand that talking on the phone at 1am might bother your roommates, but other than that it was very nice,quiet and dark.

Labelling System for the fridge with stickers. Easy access with codes instead of cards,everything was clean. Perfect luggage storage option. Really nice staff.

The luggage storage room needs to have a CCTV it won't cost much but make a lot of difference in terms of safety.

The pods are quite comfortable. The rooms are tidy aswell. The lockers with pins are pretty easy to use and makes all the difference. If plug points were available inside the pods it would really help.

bathroom didn’t have enough soap and when reported it didn’t change

the showers, the bed pods, the location

internet quality - wi-fi works only on the 1st floor.

Location is perfect! one of the best and cleanest shower rooms I have seen. Very good quality and comfortable beds. friendly staff ready to help 24/7

The bed near the window is a little bit noisy due to the train and drunk men outside (maybe i am not lucky)

Excellent service! Luggage storage is very convenient and it makes my trip easier than i image.
