CoDE Pod – The CoURT - Edinburgh
At check in they had little fans you could use in your pod (they have 3 settings which I didn't notice). The beds comfy enough and there is free wifi and £3 towel rental. Very nice stagg. They changed me to a bottom pod.

An ideal spot to stay for a single night before an early flight. Good space but not much storage. Helpful staff.
