Never again.
Poor, poor service - no accountability from management.

Shower room was too small
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).

Cool place
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.

So so Hostel
The staff were super helpful and friendly, and the breakfast that’s 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.

4/10 Fair

스태프들은 정말 좋았으나
새벽 일찍 비행기타야되서 공항버스 타기 좋은 위치라 골랐어요. 호스텔 직원들도 매우매우 친절합니다. 그러나 청결도가 너무 좋지않아요. 침구가 더럽고 뭐가 묻은 흔적이 있어서 긴팔후드 입고 모자까지 뒤집어 쓰고 잤어요. 청결도에 신경쓴다면 비추입니다.ㅠㅠ

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.

Mitt i centrala Edinburgh
Litet men mysigt mitt i centrala Edinburgh med 4min promenad till flygbussen. Skön säng och eget låsbart skåp på rummet (ta med eget lås om du vill). Kök med möjlighet att laga egen mat, frukost ingår. Det enda jag egentligen saknar var möjlighet att hänga upp jackan på rummet samt skoställ. Prisvärt och väl värt pengarna.

Mattress hurt, room too hot
I’m 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. I’ve stayed here twice now, and have had pretty good experiences both times (except for the heat and the mattress)

O hostel é muito bom, ótima localização. Complicado mesmo só os chuveiros. São péssimos, com espaço muito limitado para se trocar. Bem ruim mesmo.
