Value for money Hostel. You will get a bed with reading lamp, charger point and luggage storage. Checkin process was smooth. Room was quite and comfortable. Bathrooms were clean. Kitchen is also there but i never used. Dont think twise if you get this shared room under 15 £.
Location a bit longer from the edinburgh train station.

POD is very private, next to the famous Mary’s milk bar. Their gelato is delicious.

Probably the best hostel I’ve ever stayed at! The pods are comfortable and spacious enough, plenty of privacy and quiet. I stayed in the 16 pods dorm and really appreciated that quiet hours were respected.
There’s plenty of bathrooms and showers on every floor and never had to wait. The staff is kind and helpful.

From the airport I took the Airlink 100 and drop off at Shandwick Place, then took a short walk for about 0.6 miles to reach the hostel at West Port. You could get a view of the Edinburgh castle right across the hostel. There are cafes, diners and bars just across the road. Victoria street is 5 mins walk away. Everything else is just nearby.
I was abit skeptical to book the mixed dorm at first but it was relatively safe in overall. Specifically requested for a lower bunk bed due to my leg injury & I was assigned exactly the way I wanted. The room is spacious however it has a funny smell though, probably because it was occupied with 12 people. I was given the room on level 1, near to the kitchen & chill-out room. Mixed bathroom was kinda clean but the yellow shower cubicle's shower was broken. I had to keep pressing the button for the water to run.
Everything was great nonetheless. Staffs were friendly. Locker room service was out of my expectation to be frank. I'd recommend friends to stay however preferably ask them to book a private room for personal best interest, and to get good sleep without the "symphony of snoring".
