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 ##### Pablo Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mackenzie 22 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Excellent customer service, friendly and welcoming staff.

I am a senior male travelling Solo from Toronto, Canada - here on an annual 1 month holiday I take, since early retirement. This year I visited UK for my first time. 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. ##### Stephen Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karla 9 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great hostel ##### Karla Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Derrick 8 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Derrick Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Karen 13 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Basic but great!
