At check in they had little fans you could use in your pod (they have 3 settings which I didn't notice). The beds comfy enough and there is free wifi and £3 towel rental. Very nice stagg. They changed me to a bottom pod.

Very nice hostel, room was nice, clean and quiet. The pod was spacious and comfortable. Had a nice downstairs cafe as well. I also recommend doing laundry here if you are on a longer trip. There are only 2 sets of machines, but it was the cheapest laundry I’ve seen at a hostel. It actually cleaned my clothes and dried them well, unlike other hostel laundry machines I’ve experienced. The location was absolutely perfect, right off the main lawnmarket strip, everything within easy walking distance. Edinburgh castle was less than 5 minutes up the street. Only complaints were that the WiFi didn’t work very well on the 3rd floor, and the bathrooms weren’t always the cleanest. Other than that, a great place to stay in Edinburgh.

I stayed in a private room and 8-person dorm. The dorm was on lower ground floor, was freezing and SO LOUD from the street. I slept with my noise cancelling headphones on. The private room was very noisy with neighbors, and there was not hot water for a shower.

Couldn’t get into room on 3rd floor, had to go to desk, didn’t work again when I got up. 3rd time got in the room and someone is sleeping where I should be. 4 times going up and down, rooms not opening and lockers. Staff tried to help and understand technological issues but 4 times going up and down is getting silly. Room I go put in had no protection to outside noise, was hot and some small stains on the mattress and duvet. Obviously cheap and location is good but can’t say I recommend.
