The Baxter Hostel  

In the heart of Edinburgh city centre, The Baxter is a privately owned boutique hostel just steps from Princes Street and a short walk to the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle, George Street, St James Quarter and the Melville Monument.

Built and lovingly restored by brothers Mike and Ross Baxter, the property blends boutique style with hostel practicality. The six warmly decorated guestrooms offer showers and hairdryers, with room equipment varying by category. The vibe is intimate and social, with multilingual staff on hand (English, Spanish, Italian and French).

A 24-hour front desk and luggage storage make arrivals and departures easy. Use the communal kitchen to cook and meet fellow travellers. The place feels polished but relaxed — perfect for city explorers.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected during your stay.

A complimentary continental breakfast is served daily from 8 AM to 10 AM. A shared/communal kitchen is also available for preparing meals.
