Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very close, although an uphill walk, from Prince Street tram stop from airport or Waverly train station. Friendly and helpful staff, great location just off The Royal mile near Edinburgh castle. Clean, pods adequate size, USB ports x 2 and lights in POD, comfortable, communal bathroom just down hallway. Only 2 improvements needed: Luggage storage pre-check in overcrowded with bags and early morning breakfast crew lacking in efficiency. The Only truly frustrating issue I had with the stay was Expedia not prepaying for my stay 12 hours in advance of my arrival, after I had prepaid Expedia months in advance. After a lengthy amount of time on the phone with an Expedia supervisor the issue was successfully resolved.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The power was on and off for two days and when they were working on it , it was unclear at night how to get to the front door. On the 3rd day the women's washroom was out of order. I did use the shower the day before but unfortunately te soap and shampoo from the other shower drained into mine. The was no compensation offered for the power or bathroom issues. Even a free coffee would have sufficed.

This facility is a most unique establishment, capitalizing on its early history as something other than a hotel and/or hostel. Applying a great sense of humour to the accommodation was also enjoyable.

The staff were friendly and helpful. As a middle aged female solo traveler I was nervous about using a hostel for the first time. I recommend Code Pod Court. It has perfect location, attentive staff, and the on site restaurant and free activities were a plus.

Solo adventures!

10/10 stay!! Would 100% recommend! Located in the heart of Edinburgh, just off the royal mile, this hostel provided the perfect stay! The staff were welcoming and very helpful. Check in was quick and easy! I took Advantage of the luggage storage upon arrival, which is free for all guests. The pod itself is a good size, each pod is fitted with a small shelf, a light switch and a usb charging port. They provide free fans and extra pillows can be provided upon request. Towels are £3 to rent and you can keep them for the duration of your stay. The shared bathrooms were cleaned regularly throughly my stay and where always tidy. The showers are amazing! They are super powerful and come with a waterfall shower head! Each pod is allocated a locker to store all your belongings, they are spacious and easy to use. The overall security of the property is great, only people staying are able to enter the rooms as you are given a unique code that gains you entry. Each night there are themed events that are complete free to join which is a great way to meet new people. They have a small restaurant downstairs that offers a variety of food options that are very affordable. There is also a water bottle filling station. Overall, I couldn’t recommend this place enough! I will definitely be booking again!!

Booked for a night

I booked a bed in Pod in The Courtroom (mixed dormitory). The room is huge but everything echos within the space. I know there is only so much the hostel can do but one of the guest was laughing throughout the night. Then he woke up around 6AM to make a loud phone call. Another guest must have confronted him because it was quiet then. These are risk you take booking a share hostel. Regardless, I would stay here again. It's right in the center of everything.
