This is a nice, clean, new little hostel at a good central location in Edinburgh. Easy walking distance to Edinburgh Castle, the train station, and from one of the stops on the route of the bus to the airport. The sleeping pods are private, and let you close out all the light, so you can catch up on sleep if you happen to be jet-lagged. Within them there is a shelf, electrical outlets, and USB chargers for your cell phone. The front door, door to your room, and a locker within your room are accedes via. a personal code - increasing security and avoiding the need for keys.

The staff was friendly, and helped me check on and receive a piece of luggage that was temporary lost on my flights into Edinburgh.

The only negative thing about this hostel is the location - it was very loud in the alley outside the hostel in the middle of the night, because of a bar next door. It was loud again early in the morning as the workers at that bar transported empty kegs, and trash was picked up from the ally.

I though it was still worthwhile to stay at this place, given the low cost and very clean rooms, but if you do, bring earplugs.
