Teeny older building in the heart of New Town, one block from Princes Street. Great location for food and shopping, with easy access to Waverly train station.
It is hidden in an alleyway, so if you get lost finding it, look for The Standing Order, as the entry way is right next door.
This entire experience is like Airbnb meets hostel.
You’ll receive an email to “complete registration”, shortly thereafter you’ll receive codes for the door and your assigned room.
The door is heavy! Well all of them are, really.
The ground floor has a kitchen/lounge. With a lot of seating, storage for food, etc…
I was on the first floor, in a girls only room. The rooms are teeny, in my room there were 6 pods. Which for privacy works great. The lockers are very slim, not large enough to put in a backpack or suitcase. But you can store valuables, just have to unpack them from larger bags.
The rooms are chilly! My stay was at the end of April and the room was quite cold.
The bathroom has 2 showers and one toilet.
The showers in the space are nice, with two rooms, one for changing and one for the shower, the design means things stay dry that need to.
The bathroom stall is large, but the door opens in, so it can be challenging to get in and out.
Please post a sign asking people to refill the toilet paper. I was there just two nights and at least 3 times I went to the toilet and the paper was empty. Also suggest a bin with a hands free lid.
