This is a friendly small pod hostel, very clean. The pub next door can be noisy with with the pub goers leaving or the early morning deliveries, but the hostel kindly provide ear plugs. The kitchen is great and well-stocked in terms of equipment so you can cook your own meals. M&S Food Hall and Sainsbury’s supermarkets are nearby on Rose Street. Fantastic bargain, especially for central Edinburgh. The pods are better than your usual hostel with open bunks as you get privacy and nice black out curtains. The beds are comfy too with USB charge point with a wee shelf for stuff.
