CODE - The Loft, Edinburgh

The receptionist welcomed us at the desk and explained what was available during our stay, including events at their other location. The service was great, and she was so pleasant and helpful. Our room was clean, and sleeping in a capsule was surprisingly comfortable. I got a great night’s sleep for a fraction of the price.

As a solo female traveller, I felt safe the whole time. The pods were really comfortable and the rooms were tidy, with an excellent location that made it easy to get anywhere I wanted to go. This has to be one of the best hostel stays I’ve had. Very much recommended!

I booked a penthouse capsule for a quick weekend in Edinburgh, since I needed somewhere that would work for an early Sunday airport trip and hotels were super expensive. It cost more than a regular bunk, but much less than a hotel room, and the floor-to-ceiling space felt quiet, private, and safe as a solo female traveller. The capsule was cozy, had room for a bag under the bed, and charging points were easy to reach. The bathroom had everything I needed. The location and access to the tram really impressed me. I’d highly recommend it if you need to spend the night in central Edinburgh before an early airport start.

The kitchen was clean and useful, with everything you need provided. The location is excellent, close to the main tourist attractions and easy to find. I booked a female 4-bed dorm and felt safe and comfortable throughout. There was no need to worry. Each guest had a secure locker, and the female dorm area felt private and well organized. Two showers and one toilet nearby were very convenient.
