Locations is amazing - right outside St a George’s Church on Royal Mile. Not loud, clean, nice staff, allows bag storage for the daytime

The hallway music continued through the night and bothered my partner who is a light sleeper.

Location is superb, it could not be closer to the Royal Mile. The shared bathrooms are very clean and well-maintained. The cafe offers affordable breakfast options and good coffee. We didn't use the shared kitchen. It's cool to have live music on some nights and the hostel offered activities/free walking tours.

They didn't have men's shower and toilets on every floor.

People here are chill and nice. Location is central and facilities were clean.

The location - practically on the Royal Mile is superb. The facilities, being in an old court house/jail, have that vibe but all is new construction inside it seems. Staff on duty at all times is good. key pads on all doors with your own code is also good. Lovely big bright shared kitchen and eating area and a restaurant and bar right on main floor helpful.

Not something that i didnt like but would like to say as a recommendation- mirrors in the toilets are far far away for make up 🙈 i had difficult time being precise with my eyeliner…would make it much better if there were little make up mirrors or a big mirror so we could even do an outfit check hahaah.

It was my first time staying in a pod. Being able to close a curtain was comfortable, leading to no light disruption and better sleep! The location was superb!! Having a code rather than a key to enter is an advantage especially for someone like me 🙈

Amazing location! Great all-round. My husband travelled with my daughter from South Africa, and it was perfect... affordable, clean and comfy! Wonderful to visit Edinburgh for the first time, a fantastic City, Thank You!

Nothing. Love the place.

Bed is comfortable and the pod is larger than I expected (as least it doesn't feel claustrophobic), shower is good, good location and the staff are great! Thank you. 😄

A little round/rectangular table in the room would have been a nice touch. While in the kitchen/lounge, the themusic was a bit loud. Remember, some are talking or watching movies, etc...

The location is right in the centre. The hostel was clean, as far as I could see. Stayed in a 6 dorm room. Everyone was quite respectful. Luggage storage is available for free. Just ask. The mood was great. Lots of mingling among people. Laundry room available, too.

The place is right in the centre of Edinburgh, so it is perfect to visit the city on foot. The beds are clean and comfortable. Moreover, toilets and showers are constantly cleaned and remain spotless all day long.

I would love if you could serve food (or even a selection of savoury pastries along with your sweet snacks).

I loved the staff, they were so friendly and accommodating!

Location is excellent. Couldn’t get more central I don’t think I’m the old town. Felt safe location at night for a female traveller.

I just found it hard that I couldn't charge my devices inside the Pod, as you can just use the USB wires other than that you won't be able to use them.. except out of the pods, and that is uncomfortable for me.

I liked the staff there, also the place was clean.

I loved it all to be honest

This is a fabulously accessible hostel! I am deaf and have a neuro condition that makes some movement difficult. The Court staff could not have been more accommodating. When I checked in, they made sure I had a lower pod, I was near an accessible toilet and any problems to just come back to them. I was amazed at being offered a vibrating personal fire alarm, I have only had that once while travelling and it was a posh hotel. I cannot tell you the independence that something like that gives a deaf person. No need to sleep with hearing aids in! I also booked the beer tasting in The Lost Cellar below the hostel. What a bargain! It was £10 and we got 5 small beers, a great explanation of each one and some fabulous company and humour. The chap that ran my tasting was Padge (apologies if I lip read that wrong! ), and not only was he exceptionally knowledgeable about the beers, he absolutely put evryone at ease and had everyone chatting amongst themselves. He made sure I could see him to lipread at all times and checked in that I was ok and following along alright. I cannot say how much this trip boosted my confidence as a solo disabled traveler. the hostel is super clean, in perfect location and modern, while retaining so much of the buildings character and original use as a court and jail. I have already cancelled a booking elsewhere and will be staying here again this summer. What a great place and a huge well done to the team for inclusivity! 10/10 on everything!

Pillow wasn't very comfortable. Room was.set to 22 degrees so had to open the window!

In the centre of the old town. Hostel was quiet although large. Bathrooms were clean and I never had to queue. Cute kitchen and cafe. Rooms had enough space with a locker and hook for each person. Once in the pod you could have a quiet and comfortable space. The pod had two lights, curtain, shelf and hook. Also USB sockets.

It was too warm on the 3rd floor

Location and staff couldn't be better

Stayed in April 2024

No windows in the bathroom, corridors and room, you can't see outside and you can feel a little bit disconnected of the weather and a little claustrophobic. A strange smell was also in the room and I think it was moist or chemicals and I felt my lungs not healthy after 10 days here.

The privacy of the pods are really nice. The bathroom are perfect, the kitchen also big. I love the breakfast with waffles and the hostel was really central.

Stayed in March 2024

Would have been even better if there was an internal lock on the doors for the private rooms just for that added security

Everything was great
