Stayed two nights in a female only room (4 beds). Convenient location, staff were very friendly and helpful. Room, bed sheets, towels and bathroom/shower were all very clean. Got all the essentials needed (hair dryer, shampoo,etc.). A secure code lock was assigned for luggage storage, which is very helpful. The only thing missed was that laundry was not accessible on site. They have it in another location CODE—the Court. Overall had a wonderful stay. Felt safe and comfy as a solo traveller. Definitely recommend it.

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.

Great place to stay - solo travellers

Very clean and welcoming. Surprisingly quiet given there are a number of bars and restaurants in the vicinity. Good location with large retail shops near by and a short walk to the royal mile for tours and the castle. Will definitely visit again.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
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.

Stayed in a penthouse. Amazing for the money, great central location. The room was very big, with a balcony! Staff very friendly. However, water pressure in the shower wasn’t amazing, and the room wasn’t fully cleaned before our arrival (had some rubbish from previous guests.)

This place was wonderfully located to make use of public transport, trains, and simply walk to anywhere in the city. The Standing Order, The Black Rose Tavern, and The Auld Hundred were staples in my stay, and they were a 5 second, 10 second, and 1 minute walk from the front door of The Loft. The only thing I would have liked would have been a fresh towel every few days.

Clean and as described

The hostels walls easily accessible by train and tram. Centrally located for all Edinburg attractions. Place was clean and everyone was respectful Only issue was pretty noisy at night due to being located right over a bar.

First hostel stay for me and everything was so easy, great app for keyless/cordless entry, pod was a great size for me (5ft 4”) with conveniently placed usb charging point. Very clean and well stocked bathroom and kitchen. Some noise from pub delivery/bottles being put out but not enough to bother me at all, very convenient location for airport link bus stops and all attractions. Thank you so much will recommend to everyone I know and would definitely stay here again!

This hostel has all amenities you would expect at a hostel. It was quiet to sleep in the "pods" and I appreciated the hot water! (as most travelers do). This location is close to attractions and is walkable to National Art Gallery, National Museum, and even up to Edinburgh Castle. The staff were excellent. A real plus that you can leave your luggage before you check in, as well as after you check out, so that you can benefit of a full day of your visit without dragging your stuff around.

Was comfortable enough and I felt safe throughout my stay. The only « issue » would be that it would get quite warm in the pods so I had to open the curtain a bit, which gave me less intimacy. Very nice area - walking distance from every interesting attraction. Don’t bother paying for a tram pass. Would recommend!

Pleasant cleanliness that I was surprised by. Was expecting something shabbier but a it was really well maintained and kept clean. Maybe only the shower room rug was abit of a put off but otherwise everything else was nice and clean.
