“ Bravo ! You put all other hostels to shame. The energy and efforts you put into your business really show and have been bragging about your place the moment I left. Your property is friendly, decorative and very artful, extremely clean, in a convenient location, comfortable and warm, and well-organized. Oh, and all at a super cost !! Thanks for making my short stay in Edinburgh a memorable one, you should be proud of all your hard work !! ”

“ This hostel has an amazing location. It is right next to the Edinburgh castle. 5-minute walk to St. Giles Catherdral and Victoria Street. There are many bars around this area and regular pub crawls take place. We were in an 8-bed mixed dorm and the room was very specious. They provide free lockers which was very helpful. We were given security passes when we arrived and were asked to have them on us at all times. They are very strict about checking passes before letting people into the hostel. ”

“ I stayed at Castle Rock nearly 8 years ago when I was doing my post-grad rite of passage. My finacee and I wanted to swing back through town on another European jaunt, and I was pleasantly surprised to find out that everything was as awesome the second time around as it was the first, even considering that every other stop on our trip was in a hotel. Major kudos to the team there for creating a dynasty of awesomeness. ”
