Overall was ok. The room was small for 9 people. Three level bunker bed was kinda off. The shower room was clean but no place to hang your clothes. So I suppose you either let your clothes wet from the shower or get naked before going into the shower room (just kidding).
Really nice vibe and friendly staff! They cook you some eggs and toast for breakfast which made me feel like I was at home and mom was making breakfast. Super cozy! The shower area was lacking space and privacy. That was a big dissapointment but otherwise clean and nice.
The staff were super helpful and friendly, and the breakfast thatâs included was better than many others in the UK that you have to pay for. However, especially for the price, the level of cleanliness and quality of the bathroom was questionable. Additionally, a woman in another room got badly bitten by bedbugs during my stay.
Nice friendly welcome on arrival and smooth check in process. Dorm room was functional with allocated bed & lockers. The bed was adequate for my 2 night trip to Edinburgh.
The main kitchen area was very nice with breakfast provided in the mornings (cereal, toast & scrambled eggs, orange juice, tea and coffee provided) by the Baxter Hostel Team.
The showers are literally the shower tray with 2 sets of doors so can be a bit tricky with logistics but manageable. While I was there 2 of the 4 showers were closed waiting to be repaired. Even so didn't need to wait long for any of the facilities on either morning.
Overall a nice hostel, met some interesting travellers and the Baxter Team are fab and friendly. Will consider The Baxter Hostel if I'm back in Edinburgh.
Litet men mysigt mitt i centrala Edinburgh med 4min promenad till flygbussen. Skön sÀng och eget lÄsbart skÄp pÄ rummet (ta med eget lÄs om du vill). Kök med möjlighet att laga egen mat, frukost ingÄr. Det enda jag egentligen saknar var möjlighet att hÀnga upp jackan pÄ rummet samt skostÀll. PrisvÀrt och vÀl vÀrt pengarna.
Iâm not sure what was up, but the radiator in one of the rooms was UNBEARABLY hot, so I ended up not getting much sleep. And my mattress had this well-worn groove in it, so that turning over was difficult and painful. Aside from that, it was quite pleasant. Iâve stayed here twice now, and have had pretty good experiences both times (except for the heat and the mattress)
