One of the best hostels ive ever stayed at. I really enjoyed the city and my stay. Excellent location, the bedroom and bathroom were very clean. They had a locker. Negative the light in the bathroom turned off automatically, so when i was taking a shower, suddenly i was in complete darkness. Because the sensor didnt caption my movement. I finished my shower in the dark. And in my bedroom there was a large window which is why the room was very light.

The location is perfect and perfect for a short stay in edinburgh. We usually dont like hostels, but we had a 4person room that was quite private. We didnt have a closet or anything to hang our coats, but otherwise, the room was perfectly fine and quite warm. However, the showers occasionally didnt get warm, which was a bummer. The hangout areas were very cool, especially the treehouse had a really cozy vibe. Everyone was very friendly.

Saya memesan kamar pribadi untuk 3 orang selama satu malam dan itu sangat bersih. Kamar mandi dan toilet bersama juga bersih. Harganya pas mengingat lokasinya, hostel ini berada di pusat kota. Saya senang mendapatkan lemari untuk satu hari setelah check-out hanya PS 1! Kelemahan terbesar adalah suara penyewa lain yang membanting pintu dan berbicara keras di koridor tengah malam.

We will return. Fantastic experience in the west wing. Excellent personnel and secure. Fidel Castro at the door made sure everything was in order. Very good at letting people leave in the night if necessary. My friend darth liked the beds he was always in. It was really nice that they allowed a chair to be brought up to assist us with a tlc match on saturday night. It was simply amazing. Excellent laminate flooring as well as a fantastic window to gaze out from. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Stay here! The hostel is very comfortable, the best location and the beds are very comfortable. This hostel is much better than gras street just because of the outdoor pub area.

The staff is very kind, the manager is very nice, the beds are very comfortable and the rooms are very spacious. One of the best hostels ive ever visited, absolutely amazing!.

Tempat yang nyaman dengan fasilitas dan fasilitas sanitasi yang baik. Ada juga adaptor untuk stop kontak jika Anda lupa. Lokasi bagus di kota dan tempat tidur bagus (bantal hanya untuk sandaran, tidak terlalu tebal. Kamar tidur dan fasilitas sanitasi bersih. Secara keseluruhan, perbandingan harga-kualitas luar biasa.

I will definitely book here again. The room is clean and comfortable, the bed is comfortable and the dormmates are nice. There is no creaky floor like some hostels ive stayed in before. You can sleep peacefully here. Breakfast is decent for the price. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

This place is absolutely fantastic! This was my first solo trip, and i couldnt be happier that i stumbled upon this place at random. Checkin was smooth and easy, with friendly receptionists who will make you feel welcome, especially if youre alone. The dorm beds are comfortable, and the washrooms are bright with the option of a mixed room or gender specific room. There are enough usb charging ports in the room and a night light if needed, and the bedroom locker was quite useful whenever i needed it. I really enjoyed the pub quiz and the downstairs bar overall, the bar staff were very friendly, and the music was as expected. Im very happy that i was able to get out of my comfort zone and meet new people to play games with and have general conversations with while staying in a beautiful area. If you are coming to edinburgh and dont feel like getting a hotel, i highly recommend this place. It was definitely worth the price and i will be returning. Thank you so much, guys.

Saya memesan kamar ganda selama 5 malam. Sangat puas dengan hostelnya! Kamarnya bersih, kamar mandinya dibersihkan secara teratur, bar yang bagus dengan staf yang baik, tempat kegiatan diadakan setiap malam. Lokasi hostel sangat sentral sehingga mudah kemana-mana dengan berjalan kaki. Sangat direkomendasikan!

4.6/527 Sep 2024

Asrama yang bagus. Saya menginap di kamar RAKSASA, menurut saya ada lebih dari 30 tempat tidur, masing-masing memiliki tempat kecil untuk menyimpan barang-barang pribadi. Kamar mandinya bagus. Ini memiliki area relaksasi di mana Anda dapat makan, bekerja, dll. Asrama ini memiliki bar dan taman bir tempat diadakannya pesta.

4.6/516 Jul 2024

Satu-satunya hal positif adalah lokasinya. Tempat tidur dengan tempat tidur yang rusak dan kebersihan kamar yang buruk, tetapi yang terpenting kamar mandinya tidak dibersihkan dengan baik. Stafnya baik. Jangan minum kopi, entah apa itu, yang disajikan di cangkir cappucino itu seetes air kotor.

4.6/53 Jul 2024

Secara keseluruhan, hostel ini cukup kumuh dan kotor. Di dalam kamar ada sprei yang hilang di lukisan, jendelanya menjijikkan dan secara umum kamar terbengkalai dan kotor. Seprai yang seharusnya berwarna putih ternyata berwarna kuning, sehingga tidak memberikan kesan yang baik. Kamar mandi di tengah lantai memiliki tanda-tanda yang menunjukkan bahwa mereka tidak dapat digunakan, dan kamar mandi yang berfungsi tidak selalu dalam kondisi higienis, begitu pula dengan wastafel. Lorong-lorongnya sudah usang karena digunakan, dan orang-orang di resepsi tidak selalu ramah. Saya tidak akan kembali ke tempat ini.

4.6/56 Jun 2024

Asrama yang bagus, kami memiliki kamar terpisah di dalam asrama ini. Tempat tidurnya bagus dan kamar mandi atau toiletnya dibersihkan secara teratur. Jangan mengharapkan kamar mewah yang luar biasa, tetapi dilengkapi dengan semua fasilitas dasar. Anda dapat mencapai Victoria Street dalam 1 menit berjalan kaki, lokasinya sangat bagus. Biayanya juga rendah, saya merekomendasikannya.

4.6/57 May 2024

This hostel boasts a prime location, situated in the heart of the city, with everything within walking distance. The rooms are impeccably clean, and the staff are exceptionally friendly. I visited during the festival, and despite the bustling atmosphere, the hostel remained calm enough to allow guests to unwind and sleep. My only suggestion is to add hooks in the rooms for added convenience, especially for jackets and towels.

4.6/510 Mar 2024

Lokasi yang sangat bagus untuk melakukan segalanya dengan berjalan kaki. Penerimaan 24 jam. Beberapa kamar mandi per lantai dan kamar (wanita, pria dan campuran) Perlu diingat bahwa tempat ini tidak memiliki dapur, tetapi ini adalah sesuatu yang menjelaskan harga yang sangat bagus untuk dipesan sehingga tidak menjadi masalah.

As a firsttime hostel visitor, kickass greyfriars was a great introduction to hostelling. The front desk staff were mostly helpful with very limited waiting times. The bar staff were excellent and the pub quiz was fun. The location is great, close to all the attractions and many pubs and restaurants. The other guests were generally very respectful of each other and no one was too noisy. Never had to wait to use the shower or toilet. My only recommendation is to wear light pajamas as the 30 person dorm can get quiet toasty. Get a bed by the windows if possible and bring earplugs! While other guests were quiet, noise comes in from the street even in the early hours of the morning.

4.6/52 Dec 2023

The hostel is very good. We stayed here for 3 nights over the weekend. The room and shower were clean. The location is in a great location, just a few minutes from the main town center. We had a room for 8 people which was big enough for our needs. We will definitely stay again next time i am up.

4.6/519 Nov 2023

Kami memiliki dua kamar. Dari segi ruang, semuanya baik-baik saja. Agak bising mengingat lokasinya di depan jalan yang sibuk. Sayangnya tempat tidurnya sangat buruk. Merasakan gulungan pegas menusuk punggungku. Tetapi ketika saya membaca ulasan lain, tidak demikian dengan semua kamar karena ada juga orang yang mengatakan tempat tidurnya sangat bagus. Jadi saya curiga kami hanya kurang beruntung dengan kamar kami dan mungkin kasur yang sudah tua. Ngomong-ngomong, seprainya tidak terlihat segar. Ada banyak noda di dalamnya. Anda dapat mengatakan mereka mencoba mencucinya tetapi tidak dapat dibersihkan. Kami sebenarnya hanya menghubungi staf saat check-in dan check-out, tetapi mereka menerima bantuan yang sangat ramah. Lokasi Hostel ini baik. Hampir bersebelahan dengan Greyfriars Kirkyard, dengan banyak kehidupan malam di jalan itu sendiri dan dalam jarak berjalan kaki singkat dari banyak tempat wisata.

4.6/520 Mar 2023

Saya menginap beberapa malam di bulan Juli 2023, dan dia memiliki semua yang Anda butuhkan untuk menjadi hostel yang direkomendasikan. Kamar mandi bagus, lokasi, suasana, dan staf yang ramah.
