Ce qu'en disent des voyageurs

Les voyageurs décrivent Kick Ass Greyfriars (18+) comme une auberge animée avec un personnel très sympathique, des installations généralement propres et des espaces sociaux conviviaux, tout en notant des nuisances sonores fréquentes provenant de la rue la nuit et quelques frustrations concernant les salles de bains et les douches communes.

Son emplacement à Grassmarket et dans la vieille ville facilite les visites à pied. Certains clients ont également noté une connexion Wi-Fi lente dans les chambres et des problèmes occasionnels tels que le surbooking, un radiateur cassé ou des consignes d'alarme incendie peu claires. Attendez-vous à un séjour convivial au cœur d'Édimbourg plutôt qu'à une retraite paisible.

I liked the location across from the graveyard and Kirk. The ambiance was relaxed and the beer garden was a nice addition. While we were there several of the showers and restrooms were out of order but otherwise a solid cheaper option for staying in Old Town. Also found some great pizza and local brews at Brew Dog just a few doors down.

Hostel was absolutely great! Perfect distance from the city centre and their bar was very nice too. However, showers only ever seemed to be lukewarm or would fluctuate in temperature.

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)

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.

Room clean and quiet. Plenty of shared bathrooms, showers on timers. Could purchase a continental breakfast on site. Only issue was the 4am fire alarm. We evacuated but no instructions or involvement by staff, we seemed to be on our own. What if there was a fire, yikes!

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

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.

I really enjoyed my stay at kickass hostel. I dont usually stay in hostels but kickass definitely changed my views. The staff were all so helpful and kind, the rooms were clean. They had showers and bathrooms in almost every corner and it was always so clean. They have laundry room and lockers services which I found so convinent. I would highly recommend Kick Ass hostels and would definitely stay here again.

Definitely extremely over priced for just a bed. Showers are timed so you have to press the button every 15seconds so having a shower is so annoying - the showers are tiny with no space to place your belongings. There was vomit in the sink for hours. Very loud throughout the night. Honestly I could find hotels better priced.

Conviniently located in the most vibrant part of town... has some great pubs, walking distance to grass market and many other locations. The property itself is well maintained...but one important thing to remember is that it is a hostel. We happened to have a private 3 bed room. But it was still extremely noisy from the drunk yelling in the street...and stomping their way back to their bunks...way into the early morning...very limited toilet and shower spaces for the amount of inhabitants.

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.

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.

Edinburgh was the last part of my 1 month exploring UK, and Kick Ass Greyfriars was an exceptional accommodation. Staff were great, lodging very comfortable, I suggest buying their breakfast. I will recommend this hostel.

This place was a bit lower quality than I expected from reviews, but the staff were nice upon check-in and the area is great. However, when I returned to my bed at 2:30am, somebody else was sleeping in it. He slept there because somebody slept in his bed, and the whole thing started a chain reaction and the night receptionist realized they were overbooked. I didn’t have anywhere to sleep and was offered a couch in the chill room, even though my tag was on the bed and my stuff was in the locker. I was told this has happened here before. So… beware.

Emplacement

Exceptionnellement central et accessible à pied, près de Grassmarket, de la vieille ville et du château, ce qui facilite l'accès aux sites touristiques. De nombreuses critiques notent un bruit de la rue important, en particulier le week-end, de sorte que l'environnement animé ne conviendra pas aux personnes qui dorment facilement.
