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.
