This place has pros and cons—it’s in a stellar location on the royal mile for exploring, and the staff are so kind and helpful, plus the jail cell doors/etc are really fun and unique. However, I wouldn’t advise for light sleepers—this place is LOUD. B

overall the hostel is located on the royal mile which is very convenient. everything is nearby. rooms & bathrooms are cleanly; staff tried to clean them as often as they can but at times when they aren’t able to they do get quite messy because of those who stay. dorms are very simple but walking space is quite small. many people leave their belongings out in the open/everywhere so it gets quite messy if you have messy strangers in your dormitory. in the basement the sewer smell is quite atrocious when stepping out of the elevator & people can be very loud in your dorms w/ no consideration of others. overall the stay itself was nice like mentioned since it’s in a great location

Location is amazing, staffs are so helpful but very poor amenities . You have to lend the shower towel , it cost 3 euros( very ridiculous) . No shower gel, no shampo . Just one type of gel in the shower room . For all purposes. To wash your hands as well.

CoDE was a great place to stay in Edinburgh! Right in the heart of old town. The staff were all nice and the food/drinks reasonably priced. The private room was small and the street noise a bit loud at times but overall it felt really safe and good value for the location!

OMG! It was not good, the hotel services were slow and terrible. First day of check in there was no soap to wash hands or take a shower. After a hour someone just hanged you a big bottle soap because she don’t know how to refill. We had to asked bath towels everyday at the front desk. The front desk only check in people & no customer service. We had to open a window to sleep & the room was smelly & was very noisy from outside This place basically for young people stay for a night or two. In my opinion, this place not for a couple to stay. The room we had was not clean & the bathroom was very small after paid $1310 for 5 nights. We are very disappointed it.

Room was ok for an overnight

The staff were very welcoming with a quick check in and gave us some pointers for the evening Accommodation was central with mostly souvenir shops around Clean towels and we’d booked the breakfast which we choose a large bowlful of porridge. We had an eleven oclock check out but was woke up with folk chatting at 6.25am outside our window which was at street level then house keeping vacuuming at 7.20am
