Kick Ass Greyfriars

"Definitely value for money. They can improve the showers. Ps since it is a hostel it is fair to expect that things might not be as quite and clean as a private room. Lastly get yourself a lock for the lockers they have."

"Overall: Fun, social, clean, helpful and just very glad I stayed here. Service: Overall, the entire staff was very helpful and friendly. From the bar to the maintenance team. Everyone was very kind. Location: The best. Right in the heart of Edinburgh and close to all the best locations. I felt safe and very convenient. Grocery stores were around. Vibes: The best. Very social, the bar is a lot of fun. You are bound to meet amazing travelers here. Incredibly happy I stayed here, this place made my trip the best!"

"Best budget stay while comparing it to other places of staying in Edinburgh. Nice staff. Location is pretty nice considering advantage of going anywhere around Edinburgh. National museum of Scotland and Edinburgh castle just a few minutes walk away. Had a great time at bar as it is really a fun in evening."

"The service was extremely good. We were allotted a drone which had a weird smell when we entered. After reporting at the reception they were extremely helpful and made sure the smell was gone and the stay was peaceful. Also, to mention I forgot my watch at the hostel and realized it when I was back home. I thought I would never get it back still took a chance and called the hostel and to my surprise, Evan found my watch and also returned it to my home address via post and kept me updated via Emails. I was impressed by the service provided by Evan and the entire team."

"Great location and a beautiful view of Edinburgh castle just outside the front door. Continental breakfast was good, but nothing exceptional (croissant, yogurt, fruit, coffee/tea/juice). Wifi signal was nice and strong, but the bathrooms could use some more attention. My major issue was as follows: I paid extra to be in a female-only room, so I found it very jarring when two men entered the room at around 7:50 am to complete a repair. There was no announcement, no warning, I just rolled over in bed and suddenly saw two men, it made me very uncomfortable. The repair needed to be done, but they should have waited until later that morning. Luckily none of us were getting dressed when they walked in, but we definitely could've been, and that experience made me feel uncomfortable and questioned my safety."
