  • Overall, it´s Ok. I think the guests from shared bedrooms must be more respectful while others are sleeping wich could be shown with signs on the walls. And almost everytime the kitchen was dirty. The problem is the guests and the way you control them. Rodrigo - Chile

  • The hostel is good, clean and it has a good bar. However it's not too close to downtown. It should also consider have extra toilets in the bathrooms as there was only one per floor, and it's just insufficient at times.In a nutshell, a good value for money.

  • The West End Hotel is highly recommended. The hostel is located in a nice, pleasant neighbourhood, close to Princes St in the heart of the city. The facilities are very good and the hostel is quiet and clean, providing an ideal and tranquil setting for exploring the city and beyond. I would definitely stay there again! Also, the hostel section is good value for money.

  • The second night I found the reception closed at 10 pm. The girl who was working at night was rude and unwilling.- Oliver is willing and hard-working. The room 2 smells and needs more ventilation.
