The Hive Nightclub edinburgh

TOURISTS AVOID AT ALL COSTS! This is a student style club, yes drinks are cheap but that’s about it. Toilet facilities are appalling. Some of the staff are extremely rude assuming that everyone is drunk so they can’t understand when they are being disrespected. Paid for a VIP Table that was just a dirty little table in a separate room with appalling music. That was a sad waste of money. Also, security are very disrespectful when they accuse you of something and then it turns out that you were right and didn’t do anything! They kick you out with no reason and ignore you. There was a group of guys stood at the back grabbing girls against their will and forcing them to dance with them, it looks like the security isn’t competent enough to see this or stop girls from being harassed. Toilet as I’m sure you’ve read doesn’t even close, no seat, no toilet paper. Overall, AVOID AVOID AVOID!!

Tastes of sweat and cardboard. Front bar best bar. Don't wear pink on Tuesdays, you will be the only one.

After visiting the hive I feel I may never be clean again. Due to the scents and variety of miscellaneous liquids on all surfaces I feel that my very core is unclean. The air from the air conditioners appears to have been fed directly from a sewage treatment plant and I dread to think what mixture of bodily fluids combined to form the grey-brown paste which now coats my shoes. I feel they should have a pharmacist write each person a prescription upon leaving to treat whichever condition they have inevitably contracted inside. The 'residents" of this habitat are at best unpleasant, although it can be entertaining to watch them battle each other and engage in their strange mating rituals only to be wrestled by power hungry bouncers. I must say the music was pretty good and the drinks were reasonable. In summary, a disgusting dark hole in the ground filled with rodent-people and miscellaneous unpleasant fluids and scents... But for some strange reason a part of me wishes to return... I fear this may be due to a disease contracted within.

Joy the bathroom attendant is really nice and a credit to your team:))

As a person who has a disability (stoma bag) this place is not accommodating at all! There is no disabled toilets and the closest they have is a cubicle with a toilet with no seat, a door with no lock, no soap and no toilet paper! Honestly shocked at how ill equipped this place is for people with additional needs! Should not be a problem in this day and age!
