"Great breakfast, wonderful staff and really good location. My only negative comment is the pull down blinds were quite tattered and safe wasn’t working on check in but they replaced safe door right away and taped up blinds to provide darkness in room. They were very responsive to my room issues and everyone I met was beyond nice and helpful. The Scottish breakfast was wonderful!! I 1000% appreciate that they provided my requested room! Thank you!!

10/10 Excellent

"Solo traveller and 1st time to Edinburgh. Located right on the royal mile and within walking distance to historical sites, restaurants, and to top it off even with Fringe Fest happening, CODE made sure that their guest were well taken care of. The Pend which is the communal space and social theater room, were amazing. The inside bar was a great plus. I especially loved how CODE had luggage storage for early arrivals and late departures. Would stay again and highly recommended to anyone."
