Great youth hostel right by Edinburgh's Royal Mile”

Lovely youth hostel. Note there are two of them in proximity of each other, so show up at the right Kick Ass! KA Grassmarket had friendly staff, spacious bar/lounge with a lower and upper floor, storage lockers for bags, good bunkbed rooms and nice showers room. Downtown location is right in the action and the hostel staff are engaging with many activities like pub crawls to participate in.

Loved the location which was right in front of the castle and is accessible to nearly everywhere. The ice cream shop next to it is great and a plus point! However, the pods can feel a little stuffy, and you can feel/hear people moving in adjacent pods.

Great location!”

Located right in front of Grassmarket and behind Edinburgh's Castle, the location is excellent. The place has great security and rooms. Didn't try the bar. Unfortunately, cleaning staff took away my toiletries and only gave back my towel, taking 30 pounds worth of them. Reception staff denied any involvement. If you're going in, secure your stuff.

Hi Ramses, Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us. With respect to the toiletries, our cleaning team regularly cleans the bathrooms and would have assumed that it was to be thrown away. We apologise for the inconvenience.
