J’ai trouvé cette auberge sale, les couloirs et chambres sans fenêtres sont anxiogènes. Ça sentait mauvais dans les couloirs, les douches ne fonctionnaient pas toutes, le sèche cheveux ne fonctionnait que pdt 30 secondes puis ne marchait plus pdt 2 minutes. Ambiance hyper glauque. Le sol des toilettes était noir dans les coins. Les draps étaient sales, n’avaient pas été lavés juste remis en place après la nuit d’un inconnu. Ça me dégoûte. Froid et laid, et excessivement cher.

This was the perfect place for a quick Edinburgh weekend trip! The location was a walkable distance from everything and everything was very clean. I recommend the sleep pods!

Nice hostel with perfect location right in the center, close to attractions. The general security at hostels is quite good, but my locker wouldn't lock. It wasn't super clean, and the doors slam really loudly, so you wake up at night when people come home. Overall though, I had a nice stay.

Really fun pub crawl. Wish there were curtains on the beds. The doors close REALLY loud. Great location. Be prepared for stairs if you’re coming from the train station

I stayed in one of the pods, which are a decent size and give you the sense of having your own private space which is nice. Everything was clean and the shower's hot water worked, and it felt safe. Only potential complaint is the pod got really hot at night if you closed it up all the way, but all in all it was a good experience and I'd definitely stay there again.

Quarto bom. Estrutura boa. Boa localização. A única coisa foi que o banho frio. Água extremamente gelada.

Une très bonne auberge, le personnel est très agréable,c'est également le cas de tous les Écossais que j'ai croisés au cours de mon séjour. La cuisine est grande et bien équipée, les lits sont très confortables. Ravie de mon séjour

it got very warm in our room, and there were some smells that weren’t so pleasant, but overall a great and affordable stay

Really enjoyed my time at Kick Ass! I stayed in one of the superior pod rooms and it was nice having my own space. The staff was pretty okay, but Rosie who led the bar crawl was fantastic (she’s at the other Kick Ass hostel down the street). The bar crawl made it all worth it though, I made some great friends and got to see some cool spots in town. I think the price is a little high to justify staying there, but the location and facilities were excellent!

This was my first time staying in a hostel and they have such a high standard. I felt very safe as a solo female traveller. I would 100% choose to go back here again!

One of the best hostels I have done! The bunkers beds are very private and comfy. The showers were really clean and you could tell everything was cleaned often! Location is perfect as well!
