My flight was delayed, and I arrived at 11:30 PM. The staff was very accommodating and still allowed me to check in without any issues. The place felt safe and comfortable, and I truly appreciated their flexibility.

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.

They are renovating, which you are told by a note stuck on the wall. They have exposed wires, no mirrors, boxes with toilets sitting in bathrooms waiting to be installed, no locks on shower door, plug at bed not charging.
The radiator on the top floor room is broken and is on all the time so that with the skylight heat, its way too hot. They charge £10 to move beds however given the heat, they let me move for no charge. I think he just couldnt be bothered arguing as hostel wasnt full.
They also told us they were having an exterminator spray all the beds as there was complaints about bed bugs.
They should close the hostel for a week to get everything fixed, cleaned, de-bugged and sorted as the standard is very poor in this transition period.

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 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 :)
