Code Pod – the Court - Edinburgh

I was touched by an amazing gesture. One night during my stay I wasn’t able to sleep and when something like this happens I drink milk. It was too cold I don’t wanted to go outside so I asked the staff if I can buy a glass of milk from them. One of the female staff gave me the milk and didn’t allow me to pay. I felt so touched because it was such a caring gesture. She asked me to sit and finish it like my mum haha. So, I was the only one sitting in the bar and drinking milk. I don’t know but I really felt touched by the gesture. Also, the place is amazing and clean. I had no issues and I made amazing friends from the stay. Attached is the picture for reference. 😊

I have stayed at The Court before and really liked it, especially because of the location – it’s very convenient and central. However, I feel the recent changes have made the experience less enjoyable. The space is now smaller, and unfortunately, the kitchen has been removed. There used to be areas where you could cook, eat, and hang out with other guests, which made the place feel more social and flexible. Now, that is no longer available. It’s also not allowed to eat inside the rooms, so if you don’t want to order from their kitchen, there aren’t many options left. For me, this was disappointing because one of the best parts before was the freedom to prepare your own food and enjoy it in a shared space. Overall, the location is still great, but the new rules and reduced facilities make the stay less comfortable than it used to be.

One of the best hostels that I have ever stayed! The staff were very helpful, the facilities were all clean, the room was comfortable and quiet. And the location was the best! Highly recommended for solo female traveler!
