My family of four adults just needed a place to sleep after getting off a bus tour and before boarding an early flight. I booked a whole room, so we would have it to ourselves, but there are common bathrooms shared. Property was clean. We lucked out and got to take part in a trivia night in the bar. We lost but had fun. Food and drinks were good. Location is awesome. We roamed the streets and walked to the castle one last time before going to bed and catching our flight.

It had a very lively atmosphere. Staff was very amazing and friendly helped us find best local places for food.
Night was the best part of this place as they organized Karaoke and chill night which made it easy to interact with people and have fun. Even though we were party of 5, making new connections is always fun.
The room and toilets were very clean. If I visit Edinburgh again this would be my stay to place.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. As a solo female traveler I felt incredibly safe and appreciated how you had to badge through each area to get to your room. The entire place was very clean and spacious, bathrooms included. The bar below served well priced drinks and was a great place to meet people. I would absolutely stay here next time I come back to Edinburgh!

The Hostel is in a great walkable area near Grassmarket Edinburgh. Lots of local pubs and shops within blocks. Great location.
Compared to another hostel I stayed at in Glasgow, the Kick Ass had clean bathrooms, usable showers with good pressure & hot water.
Having a pub downstairs with food was quick and convenient.
Overall, a great and affordable place to stay if you dont mind bunking with other travelers. Everyone was nice and respectful in the dorms. No issues at all.

Clean place. Broken heat while weather was 0-1 degrees at night. Cold room and uncomfortable while moving throughout the space. Tried working with staff ti resolve the issue, solution was extra blankets. No warning or switch of room to have heat. No offers to make stay better.

The facilities are very clean, and I appreciate that. I had not stayed in a dorm-like environment for nearly 40 years, but it all worked out just fine. Thank you!

The hostel itself was fine. Even good, considering it was a hostel. The bathroom stalls and showers are teeny tiny. If you are a larger person, good luck. I don’t know how that would work.
The restaurant/bar onsite was great. Good, quick food and you get 10% off as a guest of the hostel.
If you are visiting during the Fringe, however, be aware that the noise from outside is incredibly loud and goes until all hours of the night. Not sure what time, as I finally was exhausted enough to fall asleep around 3am. I booked a hotel out of town for the remainder of my trip. If you are looking to be in the middle of the festival, or plan to stay out all night, this is the perfect place for you. If you like to get to sleep at a decent hour- don’t stay here or bring noise-cancelling headphones.

Stayed in a private room with bunkbeds. Choice of gender specific OR co-ed showers down the hall but cleaners were in the female bathroom at 0800 which caused congestion. There is an outside courtyard bar down below and there were some really noisy people ranting and swearing at 0300.

It was my first time in a hostel. While everything was great, I’d love to let people know the showers are cramped. You could put yourself in there, but don’t expect your things to stay dry in the stalls with you from lack of shelving. But the breakfast was great, staff amazing and helpful, great location (loud on weekends), and worth the trip

Nice hostel, good social areas and comfy beds and thick duvets (needed in this weather) - only thing is the showers were not well designed (needed somewhere to put your stuff in the cabin otherwise you had to put on the ground)

This was my first time in a hostel, so I went in not really knowing what to expect. The building is centrally located so it was very easy to walk around the city and get to places. The staff were friendly, and the building was quite clean. Because it’s right in the city, it does get very loud at night with people partying on the street. I was staying there for 6 days and wasn’t expecting to have so many different roommates but for the most part the people were respectful. One downside is the bed isn’t very comfortable and the pillow was very flat. The bathrooms are quite small and cramped, but they were functional, updated and clean. The bar downstairs was a bit expensive (but so was everywhere in Edinburgh). Overall, for my first time in a hostel I had a good time and felt very comfortable and safe. For those looking for a decently priced place to stay while in Edinburgh, this hostel is definitely one I would recommend.
