Originally known as Budget Backpackers, this Kick Ass hostel has been hosting travellers for over 15 years! In 2019 we gave her a bit of TLC and she came out feeling as sharp as ever!

Completely refurbished and uniquely redesigned, Kick Ass Greyfriars is quirky, vibrant and full of personality! Opposite the famous Greyfriars Kirkyard and on the corner of Grassmarket, you will be right in the heart and soul of Edinburgh when you choose us!
