Perfect solo or with friends

Whether you’re travelling solo or with friends, our pods give you your own private space while keeping the buzz of the community alive.

Capsule Dorms

We offer a range of capsule bed dorms to suit every traveller, from smaller from smaller 6 or 8-bed rooms to larger 10, 12, and 14-bed options, giving you the choice of the social vibe or privacy level that fits your stay.

The Courtroom

For a truly unique stay, check out the Courtroom Dorms: 28 pods inside the original Edinburgh Police Chambers courtroom. Sleep beneath soaring ceilings and views on St Giles’ Cathedral, near the original courtroom entrance, and under an elegant chandelier – history surrounds you.
