About

CoDE Pod Hostel is an urban concept designed to give travellers a central location and a premium quality sleeping environment at a low cost. The Asian-style pod concept is the main unique design feature combined with secure keypad entry systems which the name 'CoDE' was derived from. Our hostels are unique and centrally located in the vibrant and beautiful Edinburgh city centre within walking distance to most major sights and we are conveniently located on connections to and from the airport. The train and bus station are just a few minutes walk from our hostel.

CoDE Pod Hostels - THE CoURT is a former courthouse and jail transformed into a premium pod Hostel.
THE CoURT by CoDE will feature cool holding cells as private rooms, POD beds dormitories, an underground bar in our close and the original courtroom will boast our high tech pods.

We have a few minimum brand standards such as providing clean rooms and bathrooms, high-quality mattresses and linen. Also we think that an healthy breakfast is an important start of the day plus a healthy breakfast. In addition, we pride ourselves on having welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable staff with a ''how can I help'' mentality.

Great location. Very clean sleeping setup including bedding. Secure and large luggage lockers. Door to The Courtroom didn't close properly so was often ajar and unlocked. Door kepad was mounted too low for easy use and hallway was dark so extremely difficult to enter code to enter room. Plentiful hot water in shower. Low rating because hostel doesn't have a lounge area or kitchen for self catering.

Great location, very secure. Bed pod was very cozy and I liked having a curtain. Just a few things to note: only one usb charger in the bed pod which made it hard to charge things and also keep the (much needed and appreciated) fan on. Elevator was down which was a bummer after walking the hills all day. Overall though, great experience. I appreciated the usb plug and shelf inside the pod.

You can’t beat the location, right in Old Town and a 5 min walk to Waverley Station. The staff and food here are great, and there are activities and a free walking tour to join. Washrooms are kept sparkling clean, and the lockers in the dorm rooms are a good size. I loved the sleep pod. It’s a bit noisy as there are walkways outside the windows, but earplugs took care of that. Highly recommend for your time in Edinburgh.
