2 out of the 4 showers didn’t work. When the hostel is full, that’s a problem. The quiet hours are supposed to start at 10pm, but there was a VERY loud group until 1:30am! Honestly, I’d be fine with later quiet hours, but after 11/12pm, people need to sleep.

The staff is amazing. They were all very welcoming and friendly. The breakfast was great. Loved the eggs, toast and cereal!

Only 2 share toilets and showers for the whole structure and there were 2 showers out of service. It was not enough.

The hostel was really close to the old town. Small but cosy.

I couldn't sleep that much because of the noise made by others, the doors could be close smoother, instead of making a noise that's wake up everyone not because it's loud but also I felt it in my bed even I had ears bugs, only showers funktioning, and the other 2 brocken, so needed to cancel my shower one day.. But in general it was my first hostel experience in life so I don't know it could be normal like this 🙄 the breakfast wasnt much for vegan was eggs, toast, Marmelade, butter.. I bought my breakfast outside

The location was perfect, the kitchen atmosphere was cool and Cosy

Mould in the room, dust and if you get the upper bed you need to be careful not to break your head on the ciling.

Not enough toilets it showers as some were broken when there. The floors could have been cleaner and the breakfast was abit naff! Photos made it look massive when it's really quite small

The beds were comfy with sockets above the beds, the bunk beds were sturdy and didn't move even tho there was three people in one row

As per the price and rate for a night, no complaints

It’s my first experience stay in hostels and Baxter gave me an amazing experience. I am gonna book hostel for short stay trips for sure

No such a thing I didn’t like. In my opinion everything was adequate to the price :)

Location is great, easy to find and get anywhere by foot, rooms are clean and perfect for the people who come to Edinburgh for sightseeing not staying all day in the hostel.

Number of washrooms were less.

It was good.

My issue is that the common room gets very crowded with guests. Everyone is lovely and very polite, very nice. There are two communal showers and toilets, and they would benefit from getting the current ones fixed or adding additional ones. There is no working lift. You need to pack lights and be reasonably fit. Remember to pack a towel or travel towel, or you'll need to rent one for £2, despite saying free on Booking.com. Overall, it was a great place to stay for the night, with a fantastic location, and supper clean. The staff are friendly.

The hostel accommodation was a great price, fantastic and located well opposite the station. It includes breakfast. I didn't have this Greggs about 200 yards away in Waverly station, I had an early train. All the other guests were super polite and very lovely. I think for a night stay, but maybe not for a longer. The place is hygienically clean.

It was bad that there were only two toilets and showers for a lot of people. This way I had to wait several times. The common room (the kitchen) was often crowded and one table constantly occupied by staff.

The location ist great.

The bathroom is mixed and not enough

Comfortable bed and free breakfast

The room was a bit tight for 6 people and there was only one bathroom for the whole hostel to share. Thankfully it wasn’t too big of a hostel.

The location was great and the staff were amazing. Everything was clean and well kept.

Doors banging a lot of the night, had an aggressive roomie maybe drunk!

The staff mainly and the kitchen facilities were excellent plus location.

Stayed in April 2024

The kitchen/communal area is too small, it can only sit ~12 people at a time (over 40 beds in the hostel). Only 1 bathroom with 4 showers (2 were out of order) and 2 toilets. There is NO space/privacy to get changed when exiting/entering the shower. Triple bunks mean you can't comfortably sit up in the bed The included breakfast options are toast with butter/jam, cereal, and eggs (which you have to cook yourself), quite disappointing ‐ particularly if you don't eat eggs

Staff were very friendly and always easily accessible. Everything was kept quite clean

Too many people in a tiny room. Super hot in the night. No curtains by the beds no privacy. No one has enough room. Green exit light so bright you cannot sleep. Poor shower without any room for cloathes or towel so prepare to have wet cloathes after the shower.

Location. Snax Cafe just around the corner. Breakfast ok.
