Kick Ass Greyfriars - Adults Only - Hostel

Das Hostel liegt zentral in der Nähe vieler Sehenswürdigkeiten. Es war ordentlich und sauber und gut geführt. Alle Mitarbeiter waren hilfsbereit. Ich würde vorschlagen, einen Aufzug zu den Zimmern einzubauen; das wäre eine große Hilfe für ältere Menschen wie mich.

Die Lage des Hostels ist wirklich gut, da es in der Nähe der meisten Sehenswürdigkeiten liegt. Ich habe in einem Vierbettzimmer für Frauen übernachtet und mich als Alleinreisende dort sicher gefühlt. Das Zimmer bietet ausreichend Platz für das Gepäck von vier Personen. Einziger Nachteil: Es gibt keinen Aufzug, daher musste ich mein großes Gepäck selbst in den zweiten Stock tragen.

Es war langweilig und stickig.

Es ist bequem für eine Person zu reisen, der Preis ist sehr gut, das Personal ist freundlich und der Raum für zehn Personen fühlt sich nicht überfüllt an. Der Schrank ist jedoch etwas klein, es gibt nur eine Toilette und an der Theke werden keine persönlichen Gegenstände verkauft. Die Ressourcen sind nicht sehr reichhaltig. Der Standort befindet sich unter der Brücke und die Navigation führt leicht zur Brücke. Sie müssen erneut herumgehen, bevor Sie herunterkommen können.

It was my first time staying at a hostel so I was a bit nervous but it was incredibly clean. I felt very comfortable throughout my stay! On top of that, the drinks of bar were so cheap and they even have a student discount,which was amazing. Just a quick hands up: the breakfast was listed as starting at 6:30,but it actually started at 7:00. Other than that, everything was perfect. I would definitely stay here again when I come back to Edinburgh.

The location was perfect at the price provided and the common area was also nice.

They stay was great and the place was hygienic, met some great guy from canada. I forgot my jacket in the room the they really helped me to find it within 10 mins. Recommended for everyone

I unfortunately had to check out on the same day I checked in due to a serious safety concern (booked for 4D3N). During the afternoon, a very tall male guest wearing only his underwear came to our room and knocked on the door. Although the hostel later described it as a guest knocking on the wrong room, it caused significant distress to my mother and younger sister, and we no longer felt safe staying there. We left immediately and did not stay a single night, despite having booked four nights. What disappointed me most was how the hostel handled the situation afterwards. They maintained that it was an isolated incident and refused to provide any refund or compensation. Despite multiple rounds of discussion between Trip.com and the hostel, the hostel declined to provide any refund, even though we checked out on the same day and did not stay for the remaining nights. I appreciate that Trip.com eventually stepped in with a goodwill gesture, but this was despite the hostel’s position rather than because of it. There were also other issues during our short stay: the shower on our floor had no lock, one of the toilets was clogged, and the shower door was translucent. I hope the hostel takes incidents like this more seriously in the future and reviews its safety measures to better protect guests. Would not recommend.

Kickass Greyfriars is a good place to stay for travellers. Most of the attractions are easily accessible from here.
