The Baxter Hostel

You shouls choose this hostel, if you prefer a quaint vibe. I liked almost everything about this hostel. The staff were very welcoming and efficient whenever requested for a service. The rooms were clean. The location of the hostel is the best part. Just a minute walk to the Princes street and Leith street, and 5 min walk to the Christmas market. The shower and the washrooms area could be bit crampy, especially for a big or tall person. I'd hope better options for breakfast than just toast and cereals tbh. Having said that, I was very happy with my stay, and will recommend for solo travelers to Edinburgh.

Welcoming staff, helpful and positive. Conveniently Opposite Waverley train station Room smelled of alcohol and not well ventilated, was humid, but was busy due to New Year's Eve. nice kitchen but crowded especially at morning breakfast. Get there before 8am to avoid the rush. Shower rooms are very small, no space to dress, only about 40cm x 100cm. The shower itself was large enough about 90cm x 100cm. Only two small hand wash basins in a tight corner. Recommend to get into shower around 7am to avoid queues.
