Several guests also mention noise from dorm mates and issues with shared bathrooms, including limited toilets and motion sensor lighting that switches off mid-shower. Facilities include a bar and a communal kitchen, though the kitchen can feel small. Overall, expect a simple, budget stay with basic dorms and practical communal spaces.

This was my fourth stay at the West End, and as usual I was very happy with the service and cleanliness. The manager, Lucas, was very helpful and welcoming, and I am sure that I'll be returning because I have tried nearly all budget accomodations in Edinburgh and find that this one offers the best value. Anyone who uses hostels knows that part of the experience is determined by the people who happen to be there as well, but at this place there is a very nice bar and a kitchen for guest use, so no need to spend all of your time in the room itself. The location is ideal: very close to the Leith walkway and the two Modern Art Galleries. If you are travelling light, it is possible to walk to the West End from Waverly, enjoying the beauty of Edinburgh all along the way!

The area was alright. For the price and the time of my stay it was fair I think. I got the room on the floor they are making renovations, and that wasn't a problem. I didn't like the lights on the toilets were automated and only turned on when you were on the outside. I was still on the shower when the lights were off. The person doing the check in was a bit condescending, with the fact I had to walk the stairs with a a roller bag, which I didn't mind, but the way he said: "it is what it is", it was unnecessary. Other than that, like I said, for the price it was alright.

Really enjoyed my stay, but would recommend the hostel to have curtains around the bed considering the lights in the bathroom are automatic and keep you awake at night. But for the rest, great hostel! 8/10

Really nice staff and very decent price in the midst of the edinburgh fringe festival. Convenientyl located, only a 30 minute walk from the pleasance dome area. My only issue was that the bedroom was unbearably hot (outside temp only reached highs of 24⁰ so I dread to think what it would be like if it were even hotter outside). Otherwise very clean and typical of hostel with (3-tiered) bunk beds. Despite the heat I did sleep well. They have decent facilities including a bar which seemed alright although I didn't personally make use of it. Free wifi too. Would recommend if you're travelling on a lower budget :)

Stayed for 3 nights in the all-women room. Everything was clean, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. If I could suggest a few improvements, it would be to add some extra shelving in the bathroom, a full-length mirror, and shelving or a hanging area/locker space in the bedroom itself.

Lockers for your bags under the bed would go a long way cause it’s not like there’s anywhere to put your bags on the floor either. Plus, the pillows weren’t actual pillows but rather pouches filled with something squishy and the sheet on my bed were ripped at the top. The staff tho are absolute angels, I would give each one of them a million out of ten if I could. So nice, so willing to help. Over all, you get what you pay for. For the price and the location, it wasn’t that bad overall.

Was placed in a room with an entire group of young men who were under the understanding that they were the only ones staying in the room. They came in at 3 am turning the lights on and being loud and said that they booked out the whole room. Its pretty frustrationing that they wouls put a single in with a large group when there was clearly other bunks availabile in other rooms. Large groups should be booked on separately or have explained very explicitly that someone else will be bunking with them

I had a very terrible experience in this hostel. Check out on hotelscom at the time I booked was 11am but at about 10:30am I came out of the shower with a towel wrapped around my waist to meet 4 cleaners in my room, all my belongings had been moved out. I asked one of the cleaners about my items/what was happening and to my surprise they said checkout was 10am so they have moved all my items to the reception. I went downstairs to ask the receptionist about the situation and he said checkout was 10am so I should move out of the premises. NO APOLOGIES. It was so uncivilized, inhumane and an insensitive act to take against your guest who was at least in the shower.

This was my fourth stay at the West End, and as usual I was very happy with the service and cleanliness. The manager, Lucas, was very helpful and welcoming, and I am sure that I'll be returning because I have tried nearly all budget accomodations in Edinburgh and find that this one offers the best value. Anyone who uses hostels knows that part of the experience is determined by the people who happen to be there as well, but at this place there is a very nice bar and a kitchen for guest use, so no need to spend all of your time in the room itself. The location is ideal: very close to the Leith walkway and the two Modern Art Galleries. If you are travelling light, it is possible to walk to the West End from Waverly, enjoying the beauty of Edinburgh all along the way!

Excellent lounge and staircase ! Bedrooms less so, two levels of bunks would be much nicer ... ensuite in bunk rooms v.welcome. Kitchen etc too small for the place. Good location, fine for the money, recommended...

Really nice staff and very decent price in the midst of the edinburgh fringe festival. Convenientyl located, only a 30 minute walk from the pleasance dome area. My only issue was that the bedroom was unbearably hot (outside temp only reached highs of 24⁰ so I dread to think what it would be like if it were even hotter outside). Otherwise very clean and typical of hostel with (3-tiered) bunk beds. Despite the heat I did sleep well. They have decent facilities including a bar which seemed alright although I didn't personally make use of it. Free wifi too. Would recommend if you're travelling on a lower budget :)

One of the cleanest hostels I have been so far, just a half an hour walk from the old town.

A decent hostel, I think for the price it was just as you would expect. Service in the reception/bar was great, I enjoyed my stay and I think the location was pretty good too. The beds are a bit flimsy, but overall I have no complaints. I would definitely recommend.

Don't believe the reviews or property amenities, no restaurant, diffinately no breakfast. I was on the 4th floor with plenty of stairs. Mainly the absence of breakfast as is listed is a no go
