I had an amazing stay at this place! Its location in the city centre makes it very easy to get around, plus it's situated in a quiet area away from all the hustle and bustle. The room amenities like heating and terrace with garden furniture were top-notch, and the dining bar/lounge area was perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring. The staff were incredibly helpful and provided tours and ticket assistance which was very convenient.
I highly recommend staying here!

This hotel offers great value for money with its affordable prices. The attention to detail in the rooms, with a 2 down -1 up bed set up overlooking Greyfriars Cemetery, is impressive. The location of this hotel is perfect, right in the heart of the city and close to many bars and nightlife spots. The staff at this hotel are friendly and provide excellent service.
Everything was ok and there is nothing major to complain about.

The location was perfect and very convenient to explore the city. the staff was friendly and accommodating, always ready to help with sightseeing tips. the communal room was cozy, and there were plenty of activities to do.
The dorm room set up lacked privacy, and it would have been nice to have curtains on the bunk beds. the coffee from the bar area was not great.

Cannot find any fault.

I recently stayed at the fantastic Kick Ass Greyfriars in Edinburgh for 3 nights. The location was superb, with easy access to everything. The price was reasonable and the bar had a great atmosphere. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the rooms were spacious, clean, and had comfortable beds. The shared bathrooms were always clean, which was a huge plus.
Can't recommend highly enough this hotel.

Staff was friendly and helpful, always there to answer questions or provide assistance. Room was spacious and clean, with large lockers for storage. , the hotel was conveniently located near a popular destination.
The showers were not great, with poor water pressure and an annoying button that had to be pressed every 30 seconds. the lighting in the rooms and bathrooms could use improvement, making it difficult to see and do tasks such as make-up application.

This hotel is a hidden gem in the heart of the city, just a stone's throw away from the vibrant nightlife. With its prime location, it's perfect for those looking to immerse themselves in the lively atmosphere of the city center. The rooms are thoughtfully designed, with a unique 2 down -1 up bed set up overlooking the picturesque Greyfriars Cemetery. The shared bathroom facilities are well-maintained, providing enough space and privacy between beds. Additionally, the breakfast offered at just £5, including a warm cup of tea or coffee, is a great value for money.
