    West Side had a great location, giving us easy access to explore without paying for parking. The hostel was cheap and clean, with 24h kitchen access and friendly staff. The rooms were spacious and not overcrowded, with modern bathrooms. It was always warm and had hot water. The 15-minute bus ride to the city center was convenient, with a bus stop right outside. We would definitely stay here again if we visit.

    Nothing not to love! 😊

    Great location, with regular buses to the city center. . Friendly and helpful owner. Convenient bus stop right in front of the hostel.

    Limited parking spaces, and had to move the car each morning. . Noisy due to being located above a bar.

    had a good rest at this clean and modern hostel. Sarah was super accommodating for my late check-in and early check-out. Convenient bus stop right outside for a quick ride to the city center. I'll definitely stay again if I'm back in Edinburgh.

    The location of this place was perfect, right in the heart of the city and close to all the major attractions. Plus, the beds were clean and comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. And the free lockers and towels were a nice added bonus.

    the bathrooms were dirty and lacked proper maintenance, with shower parts falling off and no mirrors or hooks for convenience.

    I recently had a wonderful stay at the West Side Hostel in Edinburgh. As a tourist, I was looking for a clean and convenient place to stay for a few days. The communal kitchen was spacious and well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals. Additionally, the owner's presence on-site was a great help, offering friendly assistance with any questions or concerns. The location was convenient, with the number 3 bus stopping right outside the hostel. I had a lovely experience and would definitely book again if I'm ever in the area.

    I do recommend this hostel.

    The location of the hotel was convenient as it was outside of the city center. The small kitchen in the hotel was a nice addition.

    The noise from the pub below the hotel was unbearable and made it difficult to sleep. The cleanliness of the bathroom was also subpar, with dust and dirt everywhere.

    stayed at a hostel in Edinburgh before but West Side surpassed my expectations on this golf trip. Affordable and clean with a 24h kitchen access. Convenient location and comfy beds. Perfect for a short stay.
