Auberge de jeunesse pour adultes seulement prĂšs de ChĂąteau d'Ădimbourg
Along with a coffee shop/cafe, there's a snack bar/deli on site. You can enjoy a drink at the bar/lounge. A computer station is on site and WiFi is free in public spaces. A vending machine, an arcade/game room, and multilingual staff are also featured at Kick Ass Grassmarket - Adults Only - Hostel.
I choose the individual pods for getting privacy and it was a great choice! You donât get bother by the daylight and even there were 20 people in the room i didnât heard much noise. And there is great equipment inside each pod: several plugs and lighting can change colors and lot of space. Also showers were great because they are individual and big and your clothes donât get wet while taking shower as in most of hostels. The only things I disliked were the lift who didnât work and the staff are really annoying asking you If you are a guest, of course I am why would I come inside if I was not ? I know itâs for security reasons but itâs really bothering as I have my keycard which prove am a guest
The place was very good located. Very safe location and really close to main attractions.
Surrounded by restaurants, and stores.
Amazing views from the common areas.
Breakfast was simple but cheap, just what you're looking for in a hostel.
Staff were very friendly. The water temperature on level 2 showers was beyond inhumane. At least 40+ Celsius. Showered on level 2 were better since you could adjust the temperature. There werenât lifts so had to take my 20kg luggage to the 3rd floor. Staff were really friendly, toilets were generally clean. The top of bunk beds were disgustingly dirty. Dust accumulated for years probably. Ventilation on the room was poor and inside the cubicle as well making it hard to sleep
Toilet and shower areas are always clean. Pod gives you just the amount of privacy. Storages are enough to accommodate both personal and carry on luggages. If there's one thing I would suggest is an option to rent or have an AC or Fan in the Pod it's the only uncomfy part of staying there for me but overall everything was perfect.
Booked the pod and it was perfect. Had my own locker and it was comfortable. Staff was amazing and friendly. Location was amazing and it was a great value
Here's my honest review:
The pros:
+ The emplacement: How convenient it was it's right in the heart of Edinburg, you can walk to all the cool spots nearby. I highly enjoyed that.
+ The staff: There were all really cool, grateful to all of them.
+ The decoration: How cool they've made it for an urban hostel.
+ The price: Very convenient.
+ Private bathrooms + showers.
+ Awesome breakfast: Highly recommend to take the added option, it had a sweet selection and the cost was great too!
The cons:
No elevator: If you are in the third floor like I was with a luggage, get ready to do some stairs.
The above pods: If you have a place in the upper parts, you will have to climb, just to be aware.
Moving toilet floor: I had the impression that floor was moving, I think it was because it was the movement of the car from the street below.
Thank you for having made my trip a great one!
