4 Friends House ★★

📍 106 Ferry Rd, Edinburgh

"First of all, I want to thank the staff. His service attitude is very good. He almost replied to messages in seconds. He also tried his best to meet our needs. The sanitation of the room is also good. Shampoo and shower gel are provided, and there is a bathtub🛁. Everything is satisfactory, except that the location is on the street. When the car drives by, there will be some noise. You may need to wear earplugs to ensure the quality of sleep. But the price is cheap, I am very satisfied"

Code Pod – the Court - Edinburgh ★★★★
"I visited at the end of March, and Edinburgh was still quite cold, especially with the strong winds. The hostel's location is excellent, right by the church on the Royal Mile, making it easy to walk to all the other famous attractions. The room was very clean, and even though I booked a mixed dorm, I was kindly placed in an all-female room. The bed was clean, with a USB charging port, a privacy curtain, a lockable locker, and a shoe cabinet. The communal bathrooms and toilets were spacious, with each shower stall having a separate wet and dry area, plus a hairdryer. I highly recommend having breakfast at the hostel; the waffle I ordered was huge, and guests get a discount. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!"
