CODE - The Court

Overall great place. I learned while staying here that I am not a hostel gal. Shared spaces aren’t for everyone and they definitely weren’t for me. The location of the hostel was fantastic, very prime location. I will say the food was mid which is as expected. The staff was super kind and attentive, especially when I needed to check out early and end my trip abruptly for a medical emergency.

Really enjoyed my stay here! It's in the heart of the city right off the Royal Mile, so it's really easy to get to everything you want to do. It's also not even a 10-minute walk from the train station, so if you're coming in by train, it's very convenient. The room was comfortable, the pods created a decent sense of privacy while sleeping, and the bathrooms always looked clean to me.

there's no kitchen but can sit and eat your food in the bar area. discount on food for those staying was great. it's not a very nice building to hang out in- dark and feels like the jail it once was. pods are private but get very hot atnl night especially with curtain closed.

I highly recommend this hostel. Was incredibly clean and I really appreciate the extra amenities (hair dryers in the bathroom, laundry machine on site). Location was also great and the hostel also organized events where it was easy to meet other travelers.

Great experience and location. All staff are approachable and helpful.

Gros coup de coeur pour cette auberge. Les chambres sont propres et les salles de bains aussi. L'auberge est situé à moins de 10 minutes a pieds de la gare centrale et tout peut se faire a pieds. Le personnel est accueillant et "very helpful" ils vous feront sentir comme chez vous. Vous disposez de -15% sur le restaurant et des activités sont organisées tous les soirs ( beer testing, pub quizz...) Le seul - : manque de cuisine, et il y a 1 mini salon au 3eme que personne ne connait !

I had an excellent experience at this hostel. The staff were incredibly kind and accommodating. I’d had a bit of a mixup with my booking and the hostel staff were so helpful and got everything sorted for me. The sleeping pods were so comfortable! The breakfast and dinner deals were a great price and everything was delicious. Also, the location was absolutely perfect, literally right next to St Giles Cathedral. I honestly have no complaints, it was a great stay.

Super convenient location right in the middle of the old town. Staff were friendly, helpful and the rooms were comfortable, quiet and clean. Laundry was super easy to do and pay for. I did twice prepaid breakfast and didn’t realise it only included 4 options, which is fine but it was advertised in my opinion as being any choice. Overall a great comfortable stay and I felt very safe as a young women!

Great location & easy to get to from airport via the 100 bus( £8.50 return). The facilities were clean & female bathrooms were a good size & had excellent showers. I liked having the code to gain access rather than a card. Easy check in. Staff were friendly & I enjoyed the taste of Scotland event.

Hostel is very well located in the old town of Edinburgh. The rooms were not spacious but clean. POD was comfy and you could charge your phone inside. The lockers are big enough to fit a medium-sized suitcase. Staff was friendly but seemed very overwhelmed at time (eg. check-in, bar). They organize daily activities which were mostly free and great to connect with other guests. The only con about this place is that they don’t have a lounge/kitchen area (only the bar for paid customers).

Great hostel ! I don't know if it was because of it wasn't that busy, but the bathrooms were exceptionnally cleaned (and spacious) as well as the room I was staying it. The hostel is very secured with a code to enter for each door, which feels rather safe. Although I think a card system would make it safer, as it's easier to just remember the code of the doors and come back in. I really enjoyed my stay ! The capsule beds are offering a lot more privacy than a normal bunk bed would.

Premier voyage en solo en ecosse et ma première fois dans une auberge de jeunesse et je ne regrette rien . Tout est top , le personnel, les pod , la propreté des sanitaires une super ambiance au bar et on mange super bien . Franchement je reviendrais avec grand plaisir , je recommande fortement .

Great location but not too noisy at night. Everything was very clean and efficient. Sadly no kitchen facilities is always going to be a disappointment to hostel travellers. Also the sharp increase in price for a Saturday night seems excessive and unjustified.

Le MEILLEUR hostel d’Édimbourg. Je suis partie seule en voyage pour la première fois de ma vie et j’ai choisi de faire confiance en cet hostel, je ne regrette absolument pas. Si jamais vous devez choisir un hostel où résider à Édimbourg c’est vraiment celui-ci !!!

Great "pod" style hostel. it really helped me get over my jet lag. My only real issue is a lack of communal area and kitchen. They are however rectifying this soon, so check online if they're a must have for you.

El mejor hostel de todo mi viaje sin dudas. Es hermoso, muy limpio, las habitaciones muy cómodas y personalemente me encantó que los baños y duchas estuvieran fuera de las habitaciones. Pude dormir excelente ya que prácticamente no había ruidos durante la noche gracias a eso. El personal fue muy amable, me dieron muchas recomendaciones y siempre estaban con una sonrisa para atenderte. Volvería mil veces, gracias por hacerme sentir tan cómoda ♥

de los mejores hostels q he visitado

Really good stay

Great value! Location is topnotch, right in the centre of the royal mile. Fun events hosted. Would recommended! Just no kitchen/place to store food. Also a bit less atmospheric cause of the pods in the rooms; but that also makes for a solid resting place and a good nights sleep!

Amazing staff, great beds, and a perfect location. Only downside is there isn’t really a communal area or an area to cook, but I appreciate these are coming soon (May 2026 apparently). I would 100% recommend this hostel and I will definitely be back.
