I stayed as part of rugby tour and although was not initially looking forward to staying here as I thought it would more like a YMCA but was very surprised. The hotel in general was very clean and modern, with good food considering the numbers etc. There was even live entertainment on the Saturday evening. As I recall this hotel... More

The hotel is located at 5min walk from haymarket station and about 10min to the old town. This is an hostel as well as an hotel. The reception is at the bar downstairs. It was pretty quiet when we arrived so the checkin was very quick. We were in an hotel room on the top floor. I did regret saying... More

We arrived in this beautiful street, just a stone throw from the most amazing cathedral I have ever laid my eyes on and entered the hotel. The decor was modern and cosy, thick... More

I was visiting family and this location was recommended by a member of my family - not always the best recommendations come from family but on this occasion it was spot on. The location offers easy access to all Edinburgh has to offer. The décor throughout is superb, modern clean lines but fresh and well light. The property says refinement... More

The Good Cooked breakfast The Bad No lift (elevator). I had to climb EIGHT flights of stairs each time I wanted to get to my bedroom. (This is even worse when you have to carry your suitcase up. To be fair, they did offer to help me.) So, no catering for disabled guests then. No dedicated reception. You are expected... More

Myself and a friend stayed here at the end of January. We stayed in dorm accommodation and found it great value. The shard bathroom was kept nice and clean and it was good to have hair driers to use for free. My only tiny gripe would be to suggest the mattresses are flipped or the bed springs tightened as the... More

My sister and I had a great time at the West End Hotel/Hostel. We booked through Hostels.com so were expecting a hostel. Turned out it was a kind of a mixure of a hotel and a hostel with some dorm rooms but not all. Ours was a very comfortable twin room on the top floor. The service was very friendly... More
