    Due to the Tailor Swift concert was the price extremely high.

    Location, pod, facilities, very friendly staff. Great and not expensive breakfast options. Porridge and waffles with many toppings

    There is not much to complain here. Only a few more cozy couches or chairs in the reception/ lounge area would be nice.

    Interesting location, something new. Took some getting used to with the code etc, but a good concept.

    Only complaint is that the laundry needs a better system or some way to reserve them. My entire stay it was busy and I ended up waiting an hour so I could use it before moving onto my next destination. It’s very nice having that resource but needs to have a better system.

    I stayed in the 14 person hostel and The Court is a perfect hostel visit. The facilities are very up to date and clean along with the staff being incredibly helpful and kind. Highly recommended for traveling on a budget!

    Central location and quiet and clean rooms with bed curtains

    • Pod in 8-Bed Female Dormitory

    The windows are high and small since these were jail cells and they do not provide free milk and coffee powder (or I didn't notice), but they do provide free tea bags. It's a bit high price for a hostel but I understand.

    The location is central, just IN the Royal Mile, and the beds have curtains which is a plus for the room The bathroom is clean and has better facilities than the hostels I stayed at, so I guess these are the reasons that it charges more than the other ones as well.

    The pod's mattress is not very comfortable and there was a constant humming noise (ventilation or something) that was quite annoying.

    Clean, very nice staff and overall ambience. Very central and very good price

    I pre-booked a night for Taylor swift weekend.. I paid 35 which I felt was okay. I checked right before and they were price gouging for 197 for the same bed... I personally find that super tacky. I get price surging but that was pretty ridiculous imo.

    perfect location, super clean. pods felt nice and private. usb only chargers in there so just bare that in mind! Own wee lights in the pod if you need to get up early. Code system works well. Lockers in the room were pretty big too; would easily fit a large backpack/carry on.

    Showers were not really clean, it's not necessarily the staff's fault because people are not respectful and don't clean after themselves but is a bit repulsing to enter a shower and see bunch of hair on the floor and the walls

    Well equipped, nice location, nice staff
