I like the locatio, the staff and the room, if I´ll go back to Edinburgh, i´ll stay again here!

Real amazing hostel with wonderful crew I hope i can come again guys and stay safe

This hostel is really pretty kick ass! It has a very good location the city centre, within walking distance to Edinburgh Castle and various other attractions. Its service is good too. While I was staying there, its kitchen was under maintenance so they said I could go to their sister hostel (Kick Ass Greyfriars, 5 min walk down the road) and use the kitchen there! It also has excellent facilities and I especially liked the privacy offered by the sleeping pods.

One of the most enjoyable and comfortable experiences I've had staying at a hostel. All staff were so friendly and accommodating(Thank you), the room I stayed in was so peaceful and comfortable with a magnificent view of Edinburgh Castle and surrounds. For the price paid I think it was a terrific find.

The location was perfect for me. It was 15 minutes walk to any place I needed to go. The Pods were great but I believe it would be nice if each pod has a (working) ventilation (be tiny or big).

Two light systems in the room. One for during the day and a dimmer light for coming back late at night. The events on every night of the week for hostel guests like karaoke and movie night. The food and drink options were plentyful.

Excellent atmosphere, right in the old town, near castle and main attractions. Every evening is an activity and during the day a free guided tour is offered. Safe and modern in an historic building with magnificent view over the castle rock.

my bed is comfort, and very clean and very quiet place so i recommend this hostel :)

don’t really have a bad word to say. stayed in a pod room for the night, staff were excellent and friendly. privacy of pod was perfect and had very good shower and toilet facilities
