The hostel's location is absolutely perfect, right next to Princes Street, the most well-known street in Edinburgh. It's close to all the major attractions, parks, shopping centers, restaurants, cafés, the train station, and the airport express bus stop. The staff were amazing, friendly, well-educated, cool, and extremely helpful, which made both the check-in and check-out processes very smooth. The hostel itself is great, with lots of facilities. There's a well-equipped kitchen that offers free water, tea, and coffee, as well as a comfortable gathering area. The recommendations written on the boards in the gathering area were really helpful and made exploring the city even easier. There were plenty of toilets and showers, so I never had to wait. Everything was spotlessly clean on a daily basis. My room was comfortable, with enough space to store my luggage. The bed was very clean and cozy. The internet speed was also reliable. Overall, this is one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at in Europe.

Attractively located in Edinburgh, CoDE Pod Hostels - THE CoURT is 328 feet from The Real Mary King's Close.

Location is awesome! People, atmosphere, staff members - the best hostel I've stayed at (and I'm not a hostel type of person, if I'm being honest). Clean, nice, all processes are smooth, internet is great. I would stay there again. Unexpectedly making new friends was just an added bonus;)

Location is obviously amazing. I could see the castle from my room. Bed was surprisingly comfortable and the room fairly quiet. Bathroom was clean and large enough that it never felt crowded.

Featuring a shared lounge, a terrace as well as a bar, Kick Ass Greyfriars (18+) is located in the center of Edinburgh, a 4-minute walk from National Museum of Scotland.

I felt safe, secure, comfortable. The staff are lovely. I spoke to some nice women staying there who were also traveling solo. The bed pods are brilliant, you have complete privacy to get a good night sleep. Hot showers. Modern common room with great kitchen. Fantastic location

The staff was really friendly, and the location was clean and well maintained. The hostel and the area around it felt safe, even walking to and from the hostel or standing outside it alone at night I never felt uncomfortable.
