The 7 Best Hostels in Edinburgh (Updated 2025)

"Housed in a former courthouse and jail in the Old Town, Code Pod – The Court offers a truly unique stay with some old cells converted into small private rooms and an underground bar that even hosts whisky tastings. The dorms use pod beds with very nice mattresses, individual lights, shelves, and outlets; pods have curtains and the hostel provides earplugs and eye masks so you can sleep well. A delicious breakfast (waffles, pastries, oatmeal) is offered each morning, and there are female‑only dorms as well." - Matthew Kepnes
