CODE - The Loft, Edinburgh

Terrible check in and even worst check out. Almost missed my flight

£100 for just a bed is very expensive, but otherwise a good dorm for brief stays.

Ok

Das Zimmer war wirklich toll.

Just steps away from the Royal Mile and all the exciting tourist landmarks, as well as transit, shops and restaurant/bars. A little apartment with a lovely rooftop deck and kitchenette so we could enjoy some home made meals in between sight-seeing.

Beautiful penthouse apartment with everything I needed, just a few minutes walk from Princes Street.

The staff is really kind and helpful. To be a hostel, it's pretty clean, and they clean once per day. I like that you can cook your own meals. Guests respect everyone's own time, including being quiet in the room no matter the time of day. However, compared to the CoDe court, it is way smaller, has really bad storage for luggage, and needs a renovation/refreshment, and is therefore pretty pricey.

Clean and great staff

Me and my friend, both women, decided to go with The Loft mainly due to pricing and that it seemed cleaned and fresh as well as relatively small rooms which felt safe. Unfortunately, if this location has been very clean and fresh before, we can no longer say that's the case of October 2025. You only get one (1) tiny towel for both body and face, sheets were allegedly clean but I kept finding curly black hairs in mine and lots of dust in my pod (they should make sure to vacuum properly within the pods under the bedding), paper towels were not refilled in the bathroom, and neither was the one towel shared between everyone at that floor. 1 toilet shared between (at least) 12 people of one floor (though I think other people from upper floors could also go to that first floor bathroom, hence "at least"). Showers were dirty and filled with debris (I guess someone thought it was a good idea to wash off their shoes or something?) which was never cleaned despite us requesting additional cleaning (which one could do with a qr code - however one could never write what it actually was that needed cleaning). One of the showers broke down 2 days after so you HAD to use *that* shower. Furthermore, it was advertiesed that they'd have a laundry machine and dryer. However, the dryer (which I severely needed) was broken when we arrived, and kept being broken during the entirety of our stay. We were instead referred to their sister hotel which is a 15 minute (steep) walk from there.

Staff was helpful and accommodating. Facility was clean, excellent location, felt safe and quiet.

There should be a staff

In city center, clean pods

Easy to get to and easy checkin

Excellent

Perfect location, and nice sleeping cubes. Unfortunately the noice from the street (a bar at night and every morning glass containers ar being emptied and trucks delivers) - also the ventilation maybe form the bar is really loud. Remember good earplugs.

this was exactly what i thought it was going to be - easy book in - clean - quiet - just there to sleep in-between flights

The code system was difficult to use. The area seemed sketchy. It was dirty and run down

Great location and the staff were very helpful. The location was excellent.

Private terrace was fantastic.

It was easy to get to places from here.
