CoDE Co-Living The LoFT - Edinburgh

Overall really good value for...

Liked: Great location close to the train station. The hostel itself was pretty clean, floors could use a mop but with people going in and out I understand that's hard to maintain. Check-in was easy and nice to have free luggage storage.
Disliked: The room was quite hot but having windows open means quite a bit of noise coming from the street. The buttons to get in the room is very loud and disturbs others, as well as the pin to the lockers so if you're very sensitive you'll need some ear plugs (which they provide).

Exceptional

Liked: loved the central location and amenities
Disliked: n/a

Superb

Disappointing

Liked: Clean, nice location close to the train station, easy to get in. Overall it could've been good, but needs some work with having more air in the rooms for 6 people
Disliked: There's no air in the room and when someone closed windows it triggered my migriane. I was womiting in the kitchen when tried to get some pills to soothe it. Iasked around people from the room and they also said it was impossible to breathe. I don't feel like it should cost that much if your ventillation is missing (I didn't see any in the room) or if it's there it's not good for 6 people in one small room

Very good

Beautiful city center room

Liked: Nice spacious room with big glass windows and a cute balcony. The staff was very friendly and the experience overall was very good.
Disliked: The room was on the 3rd-4th floor so keep in mind that you will have to climb 3-4 flights of stairs every time to get into your room. It was not a huge problem though!

Remember your CODE!

Liked: Small, quiet even in the middle of the city, and with so many CODES! (Safe as!) The staff were great - very friendly and helpful. Good banter and food recommendations! The place was very clean. No frills to the point of industrial but comfy.
Disliked: The property is exactly as described. No fuss, perfectly fine.

Superb

Good enough for one night...

Liked: The location was good as it was in easy walking district of Princes Street. The Penthouse Apartment was clean apart from dust on top of microwave and food particles in toaster (not just crumbs). It had almost everything we needed in the kitchenette and the bed was comfortable. The toilet/shower room was a reasonable size and toiletries were provided. The apartment served us well for a single night but would not have wanted to stay longer.
Disliked: Although it was advertised stairs only to the apartment, it did not state that there were 67!! In case of a fire, having a disability, we would have been very concerned about getting down them in time. It also advertised city and landmark views but this was only evident in the picture which covered the corridor wall. The duvet just covered the mattress so there was no overhang to cover two people. Finally, there was no dishcloth or tea towel (although there was a good supply of paper towels) and, more importantly, no oven gloves to handle items from the oven.
