    • Pod in 6-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The bathrooms were clean, but very small. The 2 rooms on the floor shared a bathroom with two showers and one toilet. Sometimes I had to wait for the toilet, but most of the time it wasn't an issue.

    Apartment was clean & tidy with good facilities. The pods were spacious enough and gives you privacy. Enough sockets to charge all your gadgets. Secure lockers.

    Not that it’s a major issue but a little more luggage storage may be an extra bonus.

    Stayed in a three female dorm. Pods were great to sleep in. I had great bunk mates so was easy. Clean facilities, staff were lovely when you saw them. Kitchen area is functional and useful.

    The bathroom was poorly designed meaning 7 people used one toilet and two showers. It would have been better to have two toilets and two showers. Or make the 7 two-room section only accessible to that floor.

    The location couldn’t have been more perfect. The hostel was clean with the pods surprisingly private and comfortable. The code system was great as allowed not having to carry a key. Fully stocked kitchen with all residents friendly and respectful. Quiet and clean.

    No elevator. No reception physically. Communal storage downstairs, not very safe. Kitchen a bit sad, it might need some colours in it.

    One member of the cleaning staff found me in difficulty and helped me out. Bed very comfy. Shop, bars and transports outside the hotel.

    The room had little space to move around. If all people in it wanted to organize their stuff at the same time, it would not be possible. I never received the email with my code to get in, and since there's no physical reception, I had to communicate with them at the door (following the instructiond they keave there) and it seemed a common thing as I saw two more in the same situation. It worked out well, but I kept thinking if this happened out of their working hours, I'd be outside for a long period of time.

    The pods were good as well as the location.

    It was difficult to access the building - there were no official admin staff on the premises as the main building was on the Royal Mile, and it was necessary to send a QR code reading to that office, which I found out only by chance with another guest as we hadn't received the email giving us instructions. It would be a good idea to have someone there, especially at times when guests have confirmed they would be arriving. The next time it will be easier!

    Very well positioned just ten minutes away from Waverly station and 200 yards from the airport service bus stop. 100 yards away a Sainsbury's supermarket and many bars and restaurants to choose from. Within 20 minutes on foot it was possible to be on the Royal Mile and up to the Castle. The rooms were modern and the bed pods comfortable and clean. It was also possible to cook and make drinks in the communal area on the ground floor.

    Didn't get sent an email with any of my details on, didn't have a code to enter etc. I called them and they sorted it. I've been many times before and knew the score. Would have been confused otherwise.

    Love the pods, comfy, perfect for what I need.

    There is only one bathroom and shower per floor. 6 to 12 people on one floor with only one bathroom is not ideal. Although the kitchen and shared space was nice, I do think it is still small for the amount of people that fit in the hostel. At certain hours there was no space and everyone was mostly working so if someone needed to cook and eat it was tricky.

    The place was small but convenient and well-located. I think it is a bit expensive for a hostel but everything is expensive in Edimburg. The kitchen and shared space was really nice.

    Would be nice to have a shelf in the shower changing cubicle. As an older person, a lower bunk choice would be great. Seemed to be lots of confusion over codes with people coming in. Counseled a few.
