Clean everywhere, good staff.

5.0 / 10.0

Stayed in the cubicle rooms...16 people is too many for my personal taste, but the from was big.... However the cube can get stuffy at night... More than ample amounts of toilets and showers always clean and stocked...overall a worthwhile stay in an excellent area.... There is a market just up the street which is helpful for cooking meals in their kitchen...

4.0 / 10.0

Great location with easy access to all the major old town attractions. Only gripe is the stairs-only leading to the rooms so if you're on the higher floors, good exercise.

Stayed in a Pod dorm and everything was fine. Clean, enough space, breakfast was ok. Stayed there before and would recommend it. Nice area in Old Town

8.0 / 10.0

Very nice hostel overall. Needs improvement: need elevator for at least luggage, needs to fix bathrooms, need to have a way to dry bathrooms quickly, really fun area but a little too noisy outside and a lot too much rubbish outside in city area—-not fault of hostel

5.0 / 10.0

This location is amazing. We had a private room with our own toilet and shower but had to rent towels and pay for a locker to check out bags once we checked out. I would probably stay here again.

Unfortunately, whilst this hostel is nice - lack of A/C

The place was very good located. Very safe location and really close to main attractions. Surrounded by restaurants, and stores. Amazing views from the common areas. Breakfast was simple but cheap, just what you're looking for in a hostel.

6.0 / 10.0

Staff were very friendly. The water temperature on level 2 showers was beyond inhumane. At least 40+ Celsius. Showered on level 2 were better since you could adjust the temperature. There weren’t lifts so had to take my 20kg luggage to the 3rd floor. Staff were really friendly, toilets were generally clean. The top of bunk beds were disgustingly dirty. Dust accumulated for years probably. Ventilation on the room was poor and inside the cubicle as well making it hard to sleep

10.0 / 10.0

Toilet and shower areas are always clean. Pod gives you just the amount of privacy. Storages are enough to accommodate both personal and carry on luggages. If there's one thing I would suggest is an option to rent or have an AC or Fan in the Pod it's the only uncomfy part of staying there for me but overall everything was perfect.

Booked the pod and it was perfect. Had my own locker and it was comfortable. Staff was amazing and friendly. Location was amazing and it was a great value

8.0 / 10.0

Here's my honest review: The pros: + The emplacement: How convenient it was it's right in the heart of Edinburg, you can walk to all the cool spots nearby. I highly enjoyed that. + The staff: There were all really cool, grateful to all of them. + The decoration: How cool they've made it for an urban hostel. + The price: Very convenient. + Private bathrooms + showers. + Awesome breakfast: Highly recommend to take the added option, it had a sweet selection and the cost was great too! The cons: No elevator: If you are in the third floor like I was with a luggage, get ready to do some stairs. The above pods: If you have a place in the upper parts, you will have to climb, just to be aware. Moving toilet floor: I had the impression that floor was moving, I think it was because it was the movement of the car from the street below. Thank you for having made my trip a great one!

Everything about this hostel was awful. From the experience at check in all the way until check out. They don't tell you there is no lift, so if you have a suitcase be prepared to schlep it of several lights upstairs. The guys at the front desk were rude and uncaring. Any requests were met with rolling eyes, and they acted like it was a huge imposition. The bunk beds had zero privacy. A few were up against the wall, but the rest were in the middle of the room with no curtains. You got a single duvet, and I'd be shocked if they were washed in-between guests, no sheet was offered as a barrier. ALL showers and bathrooms are co-ed, with the exception of one toilet on each floor. When i came back from dinner one evening around 9:45, everyone in my dorm was already aleep with lights out. It made it extremely difficult to get my things out of my locker with no light, and so I didn't shower or even brush my teeth that night as I didn't want to disturb anyone, because the door was ridiculously loud. And the lockers don't have locks, so if you don't have one, you'll have to buy one from the front desk. Other hostels I've been too are locked with your keycard. If you aren't checked out by 10am, they lock you out of the room, and then you have to go all the way back downstairs to get them to unlock it, again, lots more eye-rolling, and they give you a WHOPPING extra 10 minutes before you're locked out again! Stay here if you want to be treated like you're attending Summer Camp!

One of the best hostels we have stayed in. We had a private room, which was large and we had plenty of room. The staff were helpful and friendly. The location was fantastic, in the middle of the city centre. Unfortunately, it is an old building and sound travels around it. Our room was next to a door and we could hear it banging closed all night as others moved around the hostel. The hostel does supply free ear plugs, which helped somewhat. That being said it isna lovely old building with some clear history.

As far as hostels go, this one was premier. The staff are fantastic, the bathrooms were kept immaculate and plenty of facilities. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are spacious. I stayed in an 8 bed dorm and it was perfect from the view to the company. Theres a lounge area and breakfast has a great selection. Very central location and in walking distance from everything youd be doing in Edinburgh. I was extremely impressed. Thankyou kick ass hostels for a great base to recharge between hiking and touring. Ill definitely be back!

8.0 / 10.0

I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel. The bed was comfy and clean, the room was spacious and updated with usb plugs for each bed. The location was top notch, near a bunch of restaurants, cafes, bars, and a supermarket. The only negative was the bathroom. There was mold growing on the ceiling in the shower areas and the walls of the toilets were covered in unknown substances by other dirty guests.

1.0 / 10.0

We were three people staying private in a four man dorm for one night. We were very excited at first reaching the hostel, and found the location and common areas to be good. Our experience in the room on the other hand, was terrible. Stay away from room 211! The stay ended up being dreadful, followed up by bad service. - The room looked ok when we first got in and put our bags inside. When we went to bed later, we met a room with absolutely no ventilation. The window was almost impossible to open and the tiny backyard were the window led to had a loud, consistent fan noise going all night. - Two of our beds had definitely not been changed before our stay. The bed sheet had a lot of hair on it, which is pretty discusting. - The pipes for the sewers runs through the room and that woke us up several times at night, when people flushed. - Last thing is the shower, that really is not good. You have to push a button every third second for the water to come, which also gave us almost no hot water and little pressure. I addressed these issues with both the staff on sight and later contact over mail. The staff just said it was unfortunate, while they did not take any responsibility for our complaints when answering the mail.

Next time we visit Edinburgh, this is where we will stay. Granted: this is a Hostel, not a hotel. But... it's truly great. My grandson and I shared a private room for two. the cleanliness and security of the place are excellent. Staff are friendly. The location is unbeatable. The little square that it is on directly is very nice, with a great bar / restaurant right across the street. And it is just a few hundred meters from the Royal Mile and very convenient to the Waverly rail station so it is wasy to get to and from the airport. We had an utterly fantastic time in Edinburgh and everyone at KickAss Hostel was very friendly. The breakfast is fine. It's consistent enough from day to day that there comes a point where it's not necessarily exciting, but as breakfasts included with a stay it is far better than average. We were on our first trip to Scotland and in retrospect there are two things I would do differently. Pur basic trip was start in Edinburg, train up to Inverness, train to Glasgow, and then train back to a hotel nearer the airport the night before our flight out. I would in retrospect change two things. We stayed overnight two nights in Glasgow. That was more time then Glasgow requires IMHO. If I had to do it over again we would have just had our southern part of the stay all in Edinburgh and we would have made Glasgow a day trip. The Hostel could use a couple of more washer/dryers for laundry. But on the whole: this was just fantastic.
