It’s great for solo travellers like me. The location is the best part of this hotel as it is in the heart of the old town, which is just walk away from the train station and to other touristy places in Old Town such as the Edinburgh castle and St. Giles cathedral

Perfect location, felt very safe and was in walking distance to all the attractions. Staff were great.

Second time staying at CoDE and loved it again! Private and comfortable pod style dorms, clean and spacious bathrooms/showers, well equipped kitchen, and a great common area. The hostel also offers social events like walking tours, and whiskey and beer tastings (some free, some paid). Very well located right on the high street so it’s only a 5 min walk from Waverley and right in the action.

The bed was very comfortable. Our double en suite room was very very small. The location was very good. The atmosphere was very woke and seems somewhat proud at pushing that in your face.

I was expecting a dirty noisy place filled with young travellers. It was bright, clean, the pod was lovely, very comfortable. Very quiet considering 8 in the room. Would highly recommend

Love my pod. I was in an all women pod. Wish I could have fit in a Gin Tasting. Centrally located to the Royal Mile. It was just what I needed for this trip. Easily walkable to the train station

It's a pod hotel, so for what you pay, it's excellent! The bathroom in the basement could have needed a little clean and had a broken toilet, but I'd happily stay there just for the convenience, price and friendly staff! Thanks!

Perfect location for exploring Edinburgh. The pods are private and cosy, great luggage storage, bathrooms are clean, spacious and the showers were wonderful. Welcoming and helpful staff throughout my stay.

Great location and staff. Layout was a little confusing.

Great location and staff. Layout was a little confusing.

The pod room, reception, and bathroom were very clean. However, the kitchen area was absolutely disgusting. Food crumbs were all over the tables and floors and the sink was backed up with food particles. The bed was comfortable and the blue light in my pod was helpful so I could see what I was doing but wasn’t overwhelmed my a bright white light. The security codes to get to the pod room made me feel safe. The location of this hostel honestly can’t be beat. There was no hot water for my final night and day (frustrating, but not their fault). I purchased the late check out for £10 so I could have a final explore of the city and rest before leaving, but my when I returned my code no longer worked for the door and my locker and my bed had been remade, so I wasn’t able to rest before leaving. Because of that, it was a waste of money that could not be refunded. To take people’s stay to the next level, keep a closer eye on the cleanliness of the kitchen area and be mindful of visitors who have a late check out.

Amazing! the best hostel I've ever hosted in my life.

I was there during The Fringe so it was packed, but the rooms were still quiet and everything was still clean. Only complaint was the bathrooms ran out of toilet paper frequently.

Really clean and cozy Feeling safe during my stay

Agradable

Great hostel like facilities in an old courthouse holding center . Extremely convenient great location great pricing ! No privacy but great for a side traveler !

Location is great and all staff is very nice

The location is right on the royal mile, so you can get to everything and transport very quickly. The ‘pods’ don’t have doors, so it is more like stay in a hostel.

Overall, it’s right on Royal mile making most old city easily accessible for an early start. Multiple door locks makes the stay feel very secure for travelers. Very friendly and helpful staff.
