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...).

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 ### 8/10 Good #### Will Jun 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Property was close to all locations of interest ##### Will Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Karen Jul 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Basic but great!

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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Sep 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 100 mark hostel Friendly environment and good kitchen Great location in old town of Edinburgh ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alyssa Oct 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. As a solo female traveler I felt incredibly safe and appreciated how you had to badge through each area to get to your room. The entire place was very clean and spacious, bathrooms included. The bar below served well priced drinks and was a great place to meet people.

Staff was very amazing and friendly helped us find best local places for food. Night was the best part of this place as they organized Karaoke and chill night which made it easy to interact with people and have fun. Even though we were party of 5, making new connections is always fun. The room and toilets were very clean.

The ambiance was relaxed and the beer garden was a nice addition. While we were there several of the showers and restrooms were out of order but otherwise a solid cheaper option for staying in Old Town. Also found some great pizza and local brews at Brew Dog just a few doors down. ##### Joye Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachelle Jan 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good for a night. Great location. My family of four adults just needed a place to sleep after getting off a bus tour and before boarding an early flight. I booked a whole room, so we would have it to ourselves, but there are common bathrooms shared. Property was clean. We lucked out and got to take part in a trivia night in the bar. We lost but had fun. Food and drinks were good. Location is awesome. We roamed the streets and walked to the castle one last time before going to bed and catching our flight. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2160E5702D138422E6F868E5F7BB2EDE6D5356E51736698937393.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/31A3AF79EC493BCE5CC71426B6FA56B158AE03F21736698937718.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rachelle Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Alexandro Dec 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The Hostel is in a great walkable area near Grassmarket Edinburgh. Lots of local pubs and shops within blocks. Great location. Compared to another hostel I stayed at in Glasgow, the Kick Ass had clean bathrooms, usable showers with good pressure & hot water. Having a pub downstairs with food was quick and convenient. Overall, a great and affordable place to stay if you dont mind bunking with other travelers. Everyone was nice and respectful in the dorms. No issues at all. ##### Alexandro Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Edinburgh Holiday Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Edinburgh-Holiday-Guest-House.h10240161.Hotel-Information) > > [Malmaison Edinburgh City](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Malmaison-Edinburgh-St-Andrews-Square.h38786208.Hotel-Information) > > [Summer Stays at The University of Edinburgh - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Pollock-Halls.h1083952.Hotel-Information) > > [Destiny Scotland Hanover Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Destiny-Scotland-Hanover-Apartments.h37952648.Hotel-Information) > > [The University of Edinburgh, Baird House - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-University-Of-Edinburgh.h30551487.Hotel-Information) > > [Edinburgh College Residence](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Edinburgh-College-Residence.h95336115.Hotel-Information) > > [Roomzzz Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Roomzzz-Edinburgh.h88842761.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge Edinburgh Central Queen Street](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Edinburgh-Central-Queen-Street.h4924301.Hotel-Information) > > [100 Princes Street](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-100-Princes-Street.h74521691.Hotel-Information) > > [4 Friends House](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-4-Friends-House.h102535323.Hotel-Information) > > [Destiny Student Murano - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Destiny-Student-Murano.h12921745.Hotel-Information) > > [Fingal - A Luxury Floating Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Fingal.h38753319.Hotel-Information) > > [JA The Bruntsfield - Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Edinburgh-City-Centre-Bruntsfield-Hotel.h20702.Hotel-Information) > > [Sophisticated Edinburgh Apartment in City Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Sophisticated-Edinburgh-Apartment-In-City-Centre.h24279114.Hotel-Information) > > [The Scholar](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Salisbury-Green-Hotel-Bistro.h3911559.Hotel-Information) > > [Staycity Aparthotels, Edinburgh, West End](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Staycity-Aparthotels-West-End.h4435260.Hotel-Information) > > [Miju Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Edinburgh-Lodge.h7724564.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Garden Apartments New Town](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Royal-Garden-Apartments-New-Town.h44772296.Hotel-Information) > > [Destiny Student Holyrood - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Destiny-Student-Holyrood.h12691403.Hotel-Information) > > [JOIVY Quiet Mews Street Apartment in the Heart of Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Quiet-Mews-Street-Apartment-In-The-Heart-Of-Edinburgh.h36985561.Hotel-Information) > > [Braid Hills Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Best-Western-Edinburgh-South-Braid-Hills-Hotel.h47821.Hotel-Information) > > [Victorian Townhouse at Stockbridge](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Victorian-Townhouse-At-Stockbridge.h23803598.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Kings Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Best-Western-Kings-Manor-Hotel.h5630.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Princes Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Royal-Princes-Suites.h19758332.Hotel-Information) > > [Beautiful Georgian Flat in Edinburgh - Sleeps 4](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Beautiful-Georgian-Flat-In-Edinburgh-Sleeps-4.h30315362.Hotel-Information) > > [Northumberland Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Northumberland-Hotel.h888647.Hotel-Information) > > [The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Caledonian-Edinburgh.h4198.Hotel-Information) > > [Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Mount-Royal-Hotel-Edinburgh-By-The-Unlimited-Collection.h802180.Hotel-Information) > > [My Thistle Street Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-My-Thistle-Street-Apartments.h44107797.Hotel-Information)
