If you are traveling in a group and are looking for quality and cheap accommodation, Edinburgh offers you the West End Hostel.
The West End Hostel claims to be the best group hostel Edinburgh for you and your companions to check in. It boasts of very low short-term rates, charging only GBP8.00 for its beds.
The West End Hostel takes its name from being built right on the western end of Edinburgh’s Princes Street, Edinburgh’s main shopping centre. Princes Street also offers breathtaking view of the Princes Street Gardens and Edinburgh’s Old Town section. The street is named after the two songs of King George III of Scotland: Frederick, the Duke of York and the Duke of Rothesay, who became King George IV.
Checking in at the West End Hostel offers you numerous advantages. For one, you are easily connected to the Jenners Department Store, the only remaining Edinburgh local department store after the disappearance of many other brethren stores.
Also, right in front of the Jenners Department Store is the huge tower of the Scott Monument, a Victorian gothic construct dedicated to author Sir Walter Scott. The tower is notable to its sooty-black color, which was unintended by its builders and is due to oil from its stone construct absorbing the pollution of Victorian-era Edinburgh, and its rocket ship appearance. The tower gives guests a breathtaking view of the heart of Edinburgh, and its surrounding areas.
Princes Street is also home to department stores belonging to the United Kingdom’s high-street brands. These brands include BHS, Debenhams, House and Fraser and Marks & Spencer, all of which are located at the west end of Princes Street.
There are many cheap hotels in Edinburgh, but the unique location of the West End Hostel makes it the ideal choice of travelers and student tourists. As one of its features, the hostel allows a group to occupy a specific section of the hostel. This makes it ideal for touring students, whose guardians would be concerned about monitoring the students’ behavior and safety. West End Hostel offers an easy way to accomplish that, by letting these students stay in the same section.
