Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Place is located centrally on the Royal Mile and pretty much close to everything. Staff was friendly and accommodating. The pod was quite affordable given the ongoing Fringe Festival and other big events in the city. The bedding and linen was clean overall, and baggage locker was secure with a numberpad. Someone else in the room had a rather strong body odor that fortunately didn't penetrate through the curtains into my pod, so it would be great if there are air fresheners sprayed intermittently in the common section of the room.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very close, although an uphill walk, from Prince Street tram stop from airport or Waverly train station. Friendly and helpful staff, great location just off The Royal mile near Edinburgh castle. Clean, pods adequate size, USB ports x 2 and lights in POD, comfortable, communal bathroom just down hallway. Only 2 improvements needed: Luggage storage pre-check in overcrowded with bags and early morning breakfast crew lacking in efficiency. The Only truly frustrating issue I had with the stay was Expedia not prepaying for my stay 12 hours in advance of my arrival, after I had prepaid Expedia months in advance. After a lengthy amount of time on the phone with an Expedia supervisor the issue was successfully resolved.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The power was on and off for two days and when they were working on it , it was unclear at night how to get to the front door. On the 3rd day the women's washroom was out of order. I did use the shower the day before but unfortunately te soap and shampoo from the other shower drained into mine. The was no compensation offered for the power or bathroom issues. Even a free coffee would have sufficed.
