Good place to stay
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.

4/10 Fair

Unimpressive facilities. Shower and bathrooms left much to be desired. Bedding was thin and poor quality. Pods trapped heat and became very warm.
Jordan, 1-night trip

Loved the pod beds, very cosy and private, felt like my own mini hotel room

The location is fantastic but it’s over priced for what one gets (I got a private dorm room)
David, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed 2 nights in a pod dorm and had a very enjoyable stay. The place is modern, clean, super affordable and in a great location.
Benjamin, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Laney, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

friendly staff, some unpleasant smells in hallways and bathrooms, clean and private pods
Luke, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Was kept very clean, close to the main downtown areas and everyone was friendly
Nicholas, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!
