Liked: stayed in an 18bed dorm. the room was big, comfortable and clean. the bathroom was clean. i didnt cook in the kitchen but could see it had good facilities. the internet facilities were handy.

Disliked: there were no mirrors/sockets in the bedroom (18bed dorm). there was no real common area to hang out and meet people. this made socialising hard.

Liked: It was a really nice surprise to find a hostel this nice, for this cheap. The whole hostel was very clean and well taken care of. The walls were painted nice and I felt very safe there. If I ever go back to Edinburgh, I'm definitely staying there again. It was well worth the walk from the Royal Mile! The staff were really great, the bathrooms clean and the breakfast was good too. It was a very relaxing stay and im glad I chose there.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

Liked: Cheap, good for long term stays as the rooms were quite empty while I was there. Free laundry and cheap dryer.

Disliked: No power outlets in the rooms and while they have free wi-fi, it's quite dodgy and only works about half the time, if that.

Liked: The staff are excellent, very friendly and helpful. The location is close enough to walk to the city centre and taxi arent too expensive either. Their bar is reasonably priced too. The rooms were clean and spacious. VERY comfy beds! plenty of showers and a big bathroom. We had a great nights stay and would definatly go back!

Disliked: There are only two little faults we could find wrong with Westend hotel; need brighter lighting in the shared bathroom (so we could do our makeup better) and there needs to be mirror and plugs in the shared bedroom but nothing to moan that much about.
