We stayed at this hotel/hostel on Friday 3rd and Saturday 4th of February for a Stag Do. Positives: The hotel was clean and tidy and had very friendly staff. Oliver and Gillian (who I contacted initially when booking) where lovely. The bar area was lively each evening and provided a good selection of drinks. The rooms we stayed in were... More

Having just returned from a gentleman's weekend, aka "Stag Do", in Edinburgh and staying at The West End Hotel, I can honestly say that this hotel is like no other that I have ever stayed at. The hotel was not booked by me and was a replacement for the first one booked which was discounted due to some dodgy reviews.... More

We stayed here for my stag weekend for 3 nights and I was happy with the place for the type of trip we were having. The rooms are basic, as you would expect from a budget hostel however there are NO plug sockets! I found this a bit wierd as we had to queue for a socket in the hallway... More

Staff could not have done more to make our stay a happy experience.Very helpful from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. Our room was clean. Fresh towels daily. Breakfast was freshly cooked, plus an unlimited supply of coffee, tea and toast.... More

Had a lovely stay at this hotel , staff wonderful, food very good , only negative was all the stairs. This hotel is not suitable for anyone with reduced mobility or heart condition as there is no lift access.

Drinks and bar food were reduced by 20% if you were staying at hotel so made cheap prices even cheaper! Great location maybe 10-15 minute walk from city centre but very quick and cheap by taxi.Overall a lovely place to... More

I've gone to Edinburgh on my own for a week and I stayed at the West End Hotel in the big common room in order to meet some people there. Staff was incredibly friendly, especially Di! The room was good for the price and they even had a big kitchen. In their bar you can eat good and cheap and... More
