Lovely place to stay away from home. Friendly hosts, excellent management and warm beds. Everything exceeded my expectations. I wished I could stay longer.

It was my first time staying in a hostel and I have to say code made it absolutely perfect. Everything was clean and smelled really good. Staffs were very helpful and friendly. And most importantly, a safe stay for female solo travellers.
I love this hostel and have stayed here previously. It’s a great central location on the Royal Mile. This stay I was on the top floor and the lift was broken most of my stay which was not ideal. My only other minor complaint is the menu and quality of food in the tavern could be improved. The room was nice, clean and cozy.
