- Sinegf (10/5): -
- Georgia (8/5): Penthouse - (female only) top floor general review - The penthouse has good size pods with a usb port beside the head of the bed, both a lamp and an overhead light. A plug socket at the foot of the sleeping area along with a keypad locker.
There is space under the bed to store your bag and some coat hooks inside the pod.
In the penthouse there is a mirror in the entry hallway and a shoe rack the hallway leads to the main room and bathroom.
The bed was decent with two.large fluffy pillows. There is the option to ask for another duvet if needed it gets comfy and cozy in the evening. There is a curtain on your pod as well as tla curtain in the window to help with light.
The balcony is cute with a table and chairs as well as two seats. The receptionist I got on my first day was super lovely!
At the end of the day for the price, privacy, location and the comfort I would say it is worth booking There is no way to access this property without stairs, to get in is a few steps along with the four and a half flights of stairs to the top floor not crazy but worth noting before booking.
Although still a hostel this seems to mostly be quiet business style people who seem disinterested in a hostel community - there were a decent ammunt of people who seemed to book in same day to stay as a different reservation had fallen through so we're definitely not in the mood for the communal aspec
The bathroom while nice and clean was a little run down, on top of this if your on the top floor and need the bathroom halfway through cooking you've got to ascend four flights of stairs to use the bathroom.
I don't know where the bathroom on the third floor is however in the morning I could hear it going off a lot in pod two it was fine as I was already awake but I could see this annoying others.
Feel like these are extremely negative for a hostel it's more down to preference I would definitely book again but if you want that more friendly, coming together vibe I'd probably go to CODE: The court!
- Muzaffer (6/5): -
- Aitor (9/5): Excelente experiencia en una cápsula del CODE! - Todos los comentarios positivos que aparecen publicados por otras personas usuarias reflejan con exactitud lo fantástico de este "Capsule-Bed" CODE. La relación calidad precio excelente. La experiencia de compartir un espacio de 6 cápsulas más cómodo de lo que en principio me temía. El respeto de los usuarios increíble. La limpieza impecable de todos los espacios privados y comunes, la amabilidad del staff que nos atendía...Sin duda volveré a repetir en mi próximo viaje a Edinburgh!

- Cathal (10/5): Superb - Location was fantastic and everything was spotless.
- Fynn (10/5): - Greatly located hostel to discover the city and exceptionally kind Staff! Can only recommend to stay there for a few nights.
- Federica (9/5): Being in a shared room but in full privacy - The beds are very comfortable and allows you to have full privacy. The codes at every door and at the locker makes it easier to go around, so you don’t have to remember to bring a key with you There was only one bathroom
- Nicolas (7/5): -
- Katharina (9/5): Wie erwartet - Alles sehr gut durchdacht und alle türcodes und logger haben immer einwandfrei funktioniert. Betrifft luxury female only loft: Logger nur für kleinigkeiten. Koffer war unterm bett zu verstauen. Es gab ein stahlseil zum befestigen, schloss selber zum mitbringen.
- Roberto (9/5): -
- Karol Andrea (10/5): - Siempre CODE loft … el mejor hostal de Edimburgo
- Chiajui (8/5): -
- Angela (10/5): Exceeds my expectations! Definietely, I’ll come back again. - The location is in the city centre, close to everything. It is clean and well maintained. Sigrid is very approachable and helpful, always with the welcoming smile. It’s a chill and cool vibe place to stay and meet new people. I just observed that most of the guest are young professionals/young adult, the place is quiet with respectful guest. Overall, I enjoyed my stay here. It gets a little bit noisy during the night and early morning because of the pub close to it but it will be for a short time.
- Tyler (1/5): -
- Klaudia (9/5): -
- Marion (10/5): - J’ai reçu un très bon accueil, c'était très propre et agréable d’avoir la capsule isolée avec un rideau pour la nuit.
Idéal par sa localisation ! Un peu bruyant à cause de la proximité avec les vars à l'extérieur mais ça ne m’a pas dérangé tant que ça.
- Julia (8/5): - L’emplacement était parfait, et l’accueil très chaleureux. Possibilité de stocker les valises avant l’heure d’arrivée. L’ensemble était très propre
- KHALED (9/5): -
- Lenka (9/5): The spacious pods are well worth it! - Great location, the room was totally quiet, bed comfy and clean (amazing duvet), the bathroom great. I've stayed at The Court on the Royal Mile before and for a long time it was my favourite stay in Edinburgh. Maybe I just got old, but having the larger pod with en suite bathroom and a balcony was SO nice that this is my new fave place to stay. A bit less affordable than the pods on Royal Mile, but my old knees need the bit of comfort at this point. Amazing location relative to the Waverley train station, too, especially when you're using Edinburgh as a gateway to the rest of Scotland.
- Caitlin (6/5): Overall ok, good location. - Great location, female only dorms available and code required to get onto the level. Reasonably priced. Ear plugs provided as Wetherspoons below gets a lot of traffic doing deliveries early in the morning. Only 1 toilet on each level, with the number of dorms/people not ideal.
- André (8/5): Localização ótima - Localização excelente, cubo confortável com três opções de carregamento por usb, luz, cortina, armário relativamente grande. Banheiro achei uma privada pra 2 quartos com 4 pessoas = 8, pouco mas resolveu.
- ALTHEA (8/5): -
- Iris (9/5): Fantastisch - Ik heb heerlijk geslapen, alles was schoon en goed geregeld. Ook de medewerkers waren zeer vriendelijk !
Alles was op loopafstand. Alles was perfect

- Marta (8/5): -
- Lauren (10/5): Brilliant stay, very safe and comfortable. - My first hostel experience, the building was so safe. Sigrid was so friendly reassuring me and making me feel welcome. The penthouse pods were a great size and clean. The roof terrace was a great place to chill. The bathroom was so bright and clean, can’t recommend my stay enough. Will be back! N/A
- Pelin (8/5): - Tesisin konumu çok iyi, meydana, tren istasyonuna yürüme mesafesinde, yokuşta değil. Çalışanlar güleryüzlü, bavul taşımama yardımcı oldular, ben en üst kat kapsül odada kaldım, oda olanakları iyiydi, banyo temizdi, balkon güzeldi. Asansör yok, bavul indirmede ve in çık yaparken biraz zorlandım, ayrıca bavulları açmak için bir alan olsaydı iyi olurdu, büyük bavulla geliyorsanız zorluk yaşayabilirsiniz
- Lucille (9/5): Excellent hostel - The reception staff was so kind and helpful and went the extra mile to make me feel welcome. The check in process is easy to do online and there is space to safely store things. The mattress could be more comfortable
- blumchen.c (10/5): Me encanto! - Estaba todo tan limpio, la ubicación perfecta, el personal muy muy amable!! Volveré seguro!! Muchas gracias un placer Nada
- Chandni (8/5): -
- Miriam (8/5): Centrally located, good showers - Centrally located, New bathrooms with very good showers, quiet Luggages storages is only possible on arrival day, activities are offered at the other Code next to St Giles, not in this one
- Svitlana (5/5): Disappointed!!!! - Good location, comfortable capsule in the room gave me some privacy. No hot water in the shower, no hot water in the tap! Only cold, very cold water so no possibility to wash my hair, to take a shower!!!! Absence of administrator, absence of any staff around 9 a.m in the hostel - so nobody to ask to fix that!!!!
- Tirado López (10/5): - Todo
- Sandra (9/5): - Lovely stay here! The staff were so nice and great facilities! Very close to everything that you wanted to visit!
- Raymond (9/5): - Was the best capsule/hostel style place I’ve ever stayed. Was definitely clean, modernized, comfortable, quiet and shared by mostly adults. Loved it.
- Kuratle (9/5): -
- Jiew Liang (10/5): - Overall experience was good Some guests had no courtesy to laughed and talked so loudly in the common area whereas some looked forward to some quietness
- Samuel (10/5): -
- Siobhan (10/5): - Not a party hostel which was great,
Staff were lovely! Especially Cam.
Pods were really comfortable & clean.
Pretty central location
- Matthew (8/5): -
- Stefano (9/5): -
- Teje (9/5): Smidig og sentralt, og mye for pengene. - Perfekt beliggenhet knapt hundre meter fra trikkestoppen på Princes Street. Smidig løsning med kode til dør, rom og eget skap, veldig hyggelig betjening når de var til stede. Kjøkken/oppholdsrom var trivelig, med mulighet for å jobbe, lage mat eller slappe av. De har system med merkelapper man kan sette på maten sin i kjøleskapet. Kjøkkenet har alt som trengs av utstyr. Rommet var fresht, veldig privat med kapselkøye, jeg la knapt merke til de andre jeg delte rom med. Kodelåsen på skapet var ltt vrang å få til å fungere, jeg trengte flere forsøk og måtte være veldig nøye for at den skulle få med seg alle sifrene.
Den ene håndvasken på badet var nesten tett.
En del bråk fra søppeltømming fra gaten tidlig om morgenen.
- Christoph (8/5): -
- Sarah (8/5): -
- Vinoth Khanna (8/5): - Pod, Bathroom availability and kitchen No lift and bed size was smaller
- Telma Freire (10/5): - Adorei a localização e todo o ambiente ❤️ Gostei de tudo nada a apontar
- Mia (9/5): Fancy Hostel - Alles ist gut abgesichert, jeder hat seinen „Pod“ und ein eigenes Schließfach. Obwohl es ein Hostel ist, ist es sehr sauber. Die Atmosphäre im Gemeinschaftsraum ist ruhig und gemütlich. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet. Die Pods haben nur USB-A und USB-C Stecker. Normale Stecker kann man im Raum einstecken.
- Jiew Liang (10/5): Excellent service and clean - The staff was so helpful, thank you 😊
- Elizabeth (3/5): A good idea but horribly dirty. - The pods are good because you have light protection from the rest of the bunk room, so even people coming late at night did not disturb you. The bathroom was nice and clean. The pod hadnt been cleaned properly and it was honestly a bit disgusting and made me feel very uncomfortable during my stay. Also the lockers did not work so everyone's stuff was out everywhere.
- Hannah (8/5): -
- Clotilde (8/5): - Très central dans Édimbourg, quartier safe!
- KAS (9/5): - Cleanliness and central location. Everything was ok
- Harris (10/5): -

- Julie (9/5): Très bien. Je recommande. Et j’y retournerais - La proximité avec le centre de Édimbourg
Accessible en bus
Le design et l’ambiance à l’intérieur
Les couchages étaient confortables
Les employés étaient adorables Juste le fait qu’il fasse vraiment froid dans la salle de bain
- Hannah (8/5): -
- Franziska (10/5): -
- Karol (10/5): El mejor hostal de Edimburgo si tienes más de 30 años - Es un hostal muy limpio y cómodo en sus instalaciones. Privado y reservado. Su ubicación en rose street es muy estratégica ya que está cerca de bares y restaurantes y a 10 min con una vista muy agradable caminando al old town
- P Anushka (8/5): - The court is a location!! So close to city centre! Some man did enter without knocking when we were in our room, two girls, but they did comp a meal, though it made the rest of the stay quite uncomfortable! Without that I would have said it was a fine place! The code the court
