Overview

The West End Hotel is located in a B-listed Victorian townhouse only 15-minutes walk from the West End of Princes Street, the perfect base to relax yet within easy reach of all that Edinburgh has to offer. We offer simple, quality accommodation for guests that want to make the most of their time exploring Scotland’s capital. After a full room refurbishment in 2018, The West End Hotel Edinburgh offers modern and bright DORMITORY rooms which are comfortable and welcoming. Choose to stay in either one of our small 6 bed dormitory rooms with En-suite or one of our larger dormitories with shared bathrooms, you won’t be disappointed! Rooms at West End Hostel are accessible by stairs as there is no lift at this hotel. The property also boasts original high ceilings and bay windows. Buses run every 10 minutes from the hotel to the city centre. Edinburgh Haymarket Rail Station is just a 5-minute walk. Public parking is available at the nearby NCP Car Park, which is 20 minutes' walk from the hotel. Groups of 8 or more people must pay a damage deposit of £20 per person upon arrival cash only - this will be refunded on check out once no damage or disturbance has been caused as per hostel rules. The property is currently undergoing a refurbishment.
