Kick Ass Greyfriars - Adults Only - Hostel

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.

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.

Muy recomendable este hostal. cómodo y muy limpio

Ich habe kein Handtuch bekommen (zum Glück hatte ich ein eigenes mit). Bad war okay sauber. Bar war sehr nett und günstig. Der Schlafsaal war ein bisschen unruhig da nachts auch Leute nach Hause kamen, aber so ist das in einem Mehrbettzimmer. Alle waren sehr nett

El sitio esta limpio , son agradables, y es acogedor, tiene actuaciones y esta en el centro ciudad , a mi me ha encantado alojarme aqui

Everything was very good except the bathroom and showers, they are very few.

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.

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!

Bien por lugar, tendrían que haber avisado que todo se sube por escaleras ya que por más que vayamos a Hostel éramos un grupo de 12 mujeres grandes por lo tanto algunas habían que tenían dificultades para subir y bajar escaleras. El resto todo muy bien buen precio. bueno ubicación excelente actividades el personal, un capítulo aparte porque amorosos amables simpáticos muy bien

Great location, common amenities and rooms are super clean and modern..great vibes overall Cons: wifi super slow in rooms, spring mattresses are highly uncomfortable

Located in the heart of Edinburgh, with easy access. Edinburgh Castle is also within walking distance. The first floor is a bar where young people gather, and it becomes quite lively at night. The dormitory is in the back, so I was able to spend a quiet time in the dormitory. There are no curtains around the bed here! It was the first time I was in a dormitory without curtains around the bed. I think it is better to have curtains on so that you can rest comfortably. It is recommended that you bring a padlock with you, as the locker does not come with a key and must be locked with a padlock. The key I had was a bit of an oddly shaped key, so I couldn't use it for this locker. I think you can use it if you have a normal padlock, so it's a good idea to prepare a normal padlock. You can buy it at the hostel, but it's expensive. エディンバラの中心部にあり、アクセスが便利。エディンバラ城も徒歩圏内。1階がバーになっており若者が集まっており、夜になるとかなり賑やかになります。ドミトリーは裏手にあるため、ドミトリーの中は静かに過ごせました。 ここはベッドの周りにカーテンが付いていません！ベッド回りにカーテンが無いドミトリーは初めてでした。カーテンはついていた方がゆっくり休めるように思います。 ロッカーに鍵は付いておらず、南京錠で鍵をかける必要があるため、南京錠を持っていくことをお勧めします。私が持っていた鍵はちょっと変わった形のカギだったため、このロッカーには使えませんでした。通常の南京錠だったら使えると思うので、通常の南京錠を用意していくといいです。ホステルでも購入できるけど高いので。

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!

I like it but my light didn’t worked

Der var ingen varme på værelset. Bortset fra det, så er der en rigtig hyggelig atmosfære i baren, beliggenheden var rigtig god i gå afstand til Victoria Street, Edinburg slot mm.

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.

L’emplacement est idéal pour visiter le château ou autre, et le personnel est très agréable. Les sanitaires et salles de bain étaient très propres. Je recommande.

Dodgy area

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.

Convenient location, helpful staff, good bar, basic rooms but all you need!
