"It's literally located 1/2 way up to the castle or 1/2 way down to the palace-can't beat the location! Had a main floor unit & it was very quiet. Quick & easy walking to Waverly station, pubs & local sites. Would definitely stay again. Staff were helpful with early checkin (extra cost) & arranging our transport to airport."

10/10 Excellent
"Solo traveller and 1st time to Edinburgh. Located right on the royal mile and within walking distance to historical sites, restaurants, and to top it off even with Fringe Fest happening, CODE made sure that their guest were well taken care of. The Pend which is the communal space and social theater room, were amazing. The inside bar was a great plus. I especially loved how CODE had luggage storage for early arrivals and late departures. Would stay again and highly recommended to anyone."
