- “ I stayed in Castle Rock for 3 nights, and I honestly wish I had stayed longer. The location is prime, and the staff was wonderfully friendly and very helpful. The place itself is enormous, and they are able to provide a lot of space for their guests. They have multiple lounges and common rooms to hang out in, and great wifi. Clean bathrooms, clean dorms, & 2 big kitchens with plenty of space. (All I say is: fix the record player please!) I will definitely always stay here when in Edinburgh ”

- “ We had bed bugs luckily none came home with us but woke up with bites working for insurance in the U.S for Hotels we pay out huge amounts and bed bugs can break a whole an entire hotel I suggest you throw away and buy all new beds for the virgin room before you come away with more problems or lawsuits. ”

- “ This is one of the best hostels I've stayed at throughout my extensive travels in Europe. The location is perfect- right near Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile- and the staff couldn't be friendlier and more helpful. My room was clean, the facilities are nice, and the breakfast was an excellent value and very tasty too. There are multiple social rooms for hanging out or just using your computer. I'll definitely book this hostel the next time I'm back in Edinburgh. ”

- “ The whole place just felt very dirty. Stereotypical hostel where everything is gross. I wouldn't recommend this hostel unless you are just looking for a place to stay for maybe one night close to the center. Beside the place being disgusting the people (which I know is something the hostel doesn't control) were extremely rude. In one of the lounges there was a girl sitting on a couch clipping her toenails. ”

- “ A nice choice for Edinburgh. A little more expensive than the others, but I stayed here for the fireplace and easy access to Bow St area. It's incredibly run down and dirty, but several of the people staying there were not exactly treating the place respectfully, either (dirty shoes on the couch, leaving dirty dishes everywhere). Kitchen/lounge areas need a better scrubbing everyday, and the bathrooms were pretty grimey, too. DON'T forget your shower shoes! I still prefer High Street Hostel. ”

- “ I've been to a lot of hostels and this is on the Top 3! Staff is so nice and helpfull, Beds are so comfy (even if it doesn't seem like it when you see them), slept really well! The best part is all the common areas! It's like being in a castle and discovering the rooms. The location is perfect. The breakfast (1.5£) is a good deal. Just loved it and would recommend it to anyone! ”
