Incredibly cool staff, arrived very late, lost myself in the city and phoned the wrong crew (Grassmarket heads up you great too!!), everyone was very kind. The building is kinda okd but still pretty comfortable. Clean around but people arenât the same. Would recommand 100000%!
PremiĂšre et derniĂšre fois en auberge, c'est vraiment dommage que certaines personnes ne respectent pas les autres et les sanitaires...
Sinon emplacement et personnel au top !!
The hostel is clean and in a central location.
However with the hostel being situated around the night life area of the city. If you're looking for a quiet night this may not be the place for you.
Kick Ass Greyfriars is a great hostel. The location is what makes it one of the best options for staying at Edinburgh. I was only there for a night, so I didn't get to live the whole experience (the showers, the bar, the special events...). It is a great option if you don't mind the public bathrooms
Points faibles : Service et personnel, confort de la chambre
OkâŠ
We had the private 4 bedroom and letâs just say it was not great. Beds uncomfy, sketchy part of town, nice view of castle when leaving the hostel but other than that not many positives. The night we got there service was decent but the guy there was pushing us to subscribe to his YouTube channel in front of him before going up to our rooms. We also only received one towel for the four of us because they ran out. The rooms were disgustingly hot but we soon realized a lot of places in Scotland are not air conditioned. Not good temperature to sleep in. It is pretty central but overall I would not recommend. They also only have pocket sized fans for the heat. Donât go here unless you are desperate like we were. Maybe Iâm the winter itâs better when the sweltering heat actually works for you.
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.
