Castle Rock Hostel - Adults Only

The hostel is well located, it is close to most of the tourist places. The only issue we had was with the service, we were rushing in the morning to check-out on time (February 10, 2024) and leave our luggage in the proper room. In the afternoon when we returned, we realized our polaroid camera was not with us and we had two options, it was left behind the room’s door or it was on the luggage room, so we kindly ask the people at the reception to help us checking in the room. There was a guy (with mustache) and a girl (with shaved head) both of them started making faces at each other as if we were bothering them with our request (save to say they were alone at the reception, they were not doing any specific activity). We finally found our camera at the luggage room, and they were clearly bothered by the fact we kindly ask the guy to go to the room and check. After that, we stayed for about 2 hours at the lounge, and when buying a couple of sodas, the girl gave us an annoyed look as if she didn’t want to even see us, same happened when we asked them to open the door to take our bags and leave. Service is the most important to us when going to any place, and this type of attitudes just left us pretty disappointed, which would be their attitude if there was a real problem? Are they going to be annoyed because people request something that requires them just to stand up and move for 5 minutes or less?

My bag was stored there for a great price I was recommended by the castle people it was great to leave my bag cos it was big and bulky. I'm going to stay there next time I'm in Edinburgh because it's cheap but also they do movie nights and dinner smelt wonderful

Lovely place to stay. Many social activities, kitchen, laundry service - very fast. Lovely staff. Great location. Enjoyed the spaces to relax indoors when the weather was not good outside. Also, being able to store luggage and use the facility even after check out on the day.

Booked out 3 rooms for a rugby tour, the rooms were clean and comfy. The facilities were also kept clean and the staff were friendly and accommodating, definitely recommend staying here if you are visiting Edinburgh

Absolutely the best and coolest hostel I have ever seen and it is not ever an comparasion. For sure I would recommend to everyone and If I ever come back to edinburg,I will return. Unfortunately I did not went to any activicties, but they seemes pretty cool. I used the showers when no one was using but it seemed that you would have to wait a bit in rush hours since they were just a few for the entire floor. Apart from that, impossible to find a cooler hostel

I was delighted to find a cheap bed for the night in an excellent location and a well organised set up. At 63 I was afraid I might be a bit old for a dormitory bed in a hostel but there was a good cross section of people and everyone I met was friendly and considerate. I’d definitely recommend and would return in the future.
