Great location in Old Town
Great stay, clean and close to everything. Only downside was the alleyway behind the hostel (where our windows faced) was extremely noisy with people yelling at each other until 4 am!!

Edinburgh fringe & highlands tour
Super clean and modern. A pleasant stay to suit our needs. The pod fit max a 6ft 3" person. The lockers are pin coded so no need to worry about padlocks and keys. Loads of showers and toilets. The common area / kitchen is currently being renovated as of Aug 2025 but they have a bar available and you could use the other hostel branch 10 mins walk away if needed. Next to Caffè nero for your morning caffeine fix. You can also get 15% discount on bar food.

In the middle of old town so the location is very convenient. The underground gin/whisky tasting was awesome. A little bit overpriced but Edinburgh is just expensive.

Although it is a capsule accommodation, the pod is spacious and comfortable. Both the toilets and shower rooms are clean too.
Thumbs up to the front staff for being friendly and helpful.
