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.

Great location, you just turn around the corner and there’s the Castle! The room and bed were comfortable, the locker was spacious and felt safe. I loved the showers! Were the most comfortable ones I’ve found at a hostel. The staff was also super friendly, they’re not permanently there but I met Cassiano and another coworker and they were both kind and helpful :)
