Guest Reviews

• azu (10/5): Hostal.super limpio y cuidado - La ubicación, a los pies del Castillo de Edimburgo. Muy limpio, y reconfortante, un ambiente muy sano.
• Bhatt (9/5): -
• Onyedika (8/5): -
• Ruslan (10/5): Best hostel in Scotland - Very welcoming staff and sheets were laid. Excellent location and sightseeings close. No objections
• Facundo (9/5): - Excelente ubicación y tiene la vibra real de un hostel
• Mazzo (7/5): - The hostel itself is great, with amazing facilities, activities and location. Staff was lovely and the bathrooms were always very clean. We stayed in the private room for a couple and the mattress was awful! Really really old, and very deformed, so that was a bit underwhelming. I understand it is a hostel and thus I wasn't expecting anything fancy, but I really think the mattress should be replaced.
• Tanya (10/5): -
• Maria (10/5): Perfect location by Edinburgh Castle, a happy and sociable respite from London in an areas steeped in history. - Extremely friendly and sociable. Decor has a Scots theme and also there is a choice or lounges from opulent to dining comfort. Beds fairly narrow but fine.
• Jannatul Mahenoor (8/5): -
• fernando (8/5): - La posizione La camera era fredda ed il termosifone freddo
• Ewelina (9/5): - Outstanding location for this price, easygoing vibes, quirky interiors, clear distinction between loud/moderate/quiet zones, big kitchen Pillows could be more comfortable, but at this point I was just really trying to be picky
• vanesa (10/5): -
• Williams (10/5): Si voy mil veces a Edimburgo mil veces me quedo allí - Si Nada
• Rochelle (8/5): -
• Tam (7/5): -
• Elody (10/5): Vie de château à petit prix - Nous avons été très agréablement surprises par l'accueil super chaleureux et sympathique. Tout est fait pour qu'on s'intègre facilement. La chambre double était proche des sanitaires, dans un coin plus calme que les dortoirs, et plus grande que ce à quoi nous nous attendions. Bien sûr, il ne faut pas s'attendre à une immense chambre d'hôtel (ce n'est pas un hôtel !) mais pour une auberge de jeunesse, c'est réellement un luxe. Et le lit était super confortable ! En plus, le cadre est vraiment chouette, tant à l'intérieur (quels jolis aménagements) que les environs : on est à littéralement deux minutes à pied de la Royal Mile, et moins de 10 minutes à pied du Château d'Edimbourg. Bonus : la possibilité de laisser nos bagages à la bagagerie même après avoir fait le check-out. C'était hyper pratique ! Vraiment, merci à tout le personnel pour leur disponibilité et leur sympathie. Cela n'a pas nui au séjour, mais il faut garder en tête que le bâtiment est historique : tout en escalier, et pas d'ascenseur !

• ruban (9/5): -
• Miriam (10/5): Como en casa - Muy bonito y acogedor
• regine (10/5): Ein toller Ort, gemütlich und viele kurzweilige Angebote, z. B. das Kinoi - die tollen Räume, viel Platz, nettes Personal, alles sehr unkompliziert -
• Nastassja (10/5): -
• Martha Cecilia (10/5): Very friendly atmosphere - I loved the location and the excellent view of the castle, and I loved the friendly service from the staff. I liked everything, but if I had to say something, it would perhaps be that there are only two showers and one bathroom for the floor we were on.
• Hamza (10/5): - Amazing! Clean!! Super comfy!!! Very very very very very highly recommended place
• Usukhbayar (9/5): -
• Rodrigo (10/5): -

• Lee (10/5): 숙소 때문에 또 가고 싶다 에든버러! - 공간도 위치도 직원분들도 너무 좋았습니다. 침대 커튼막이 생기면 좋읕 것 같습니다. 문 앞에서 자는 분들께 화장실 갈 때 죄송했습니다.
• Sri Harei (10/5): - Perfect place
• Nasar Ullah (1/5): -
• Anne Marie (10/5): Five Stars - The location is amazing, at the heart of everything, and must have one of the best views of the castle in Edinburgh. The staff were lovely, and there was no issue with me leaving my bag in their luggage room after I checked out.
• Mario (10/5): - Ubicación, ambiente, sala de juegos y relajamiento al mismo tiempo, sirve para plan fiestas y relax al mismo tiempo No hay tazas de baño en primer nivel
• Estefani (9/5): Recomendado - Ubicación

• Dilinožravec (9/5): -
• Veronika (10/5): Úžasný pobyt v hosteli - Veľmi milý a ústretový personál, všetko nám do podrobna vysvetlili a so všetkým pomohli. Vybavenie kuchynky bolo super, našli sme tam všetko čo sme potrebovali. Všade bolo čisto, nebol hluk, na izbe s nami bývali ohľaduplní ľudia. Spoločenské miestnosti boli skvelé, premietali večer filmy, možnosť spraviť si horúcu čokoládu alebo čaj. Nemáme nič, čo by sa nám nepáčilo. Hostel prevýšil všetky naše očakávania

Lokal jest bardzo klimatyczny. Dziękujemy wszystkim którzy tam pracują bo przede wszystkim oni tworzą tak wspaniały klimat temu miejscu
• GJ (10/5): -
• Tereza (7/5): -
• Franka (7/5): Love the colours and how the rooms are decorated. Great location! - Great place!
• Tom (9/5): Unique and homey hostel - One of the coolest, most unique, and homiest hostels I've stayed at. Used to be the servant quarters for the castle. Great location, with multiple common spaces. Has pianos! Volunteers could be overzealous in kitchen cleaning duties. A few times I had items go missing because they "weren't properly labelled," even though they were literally surrounded by other labelled items and it was clear they belonged to me. Appreciate folks doing their jobs but please be thoughtful. And the axolotl in the tank is a bit depressing. These creatures should be in their native habitats, not in aquariums thousands of miles away. Otherwise, best hostel I've stayed at.
• Aaron (9/5): -
• James (7/5): - staff lovely and really liked the energy of the place. great location and value perfect for young travellers looking to meet new people there was quite a lot of hairs on my pillows that weren’t mine which is probably just an oversight but still not the best.
• Noel (10/5): -
• Lisa (10/5): Amazing stay in Edinburgh - The staff are really friendly and the location is absolutely amazing. Everything we wanted was within walking distance and walking out and seeing the castle was amazing every morning . We booked the separate double room and it was clean and the bed was really comfortable. Definitely will be back ! Nothing.
• Rohat Serhat (10/5): -
• sara (10/5): -
• Jeffrey (8/5): Nice - The areas and the beds -
• Donati (8/5): - The location and the cleanliness was great, plus the staff was very welcoming.
• NALLELY (7/5): - Excelente ubicación y excelente trato. La habitación privada es pequeñisíma, además muchas escaleras. Pero todo ok
• Miguel Angel (9/5): -
• Allison (9/5): - The staff was super friendly throughout my stay and happy to help with some unexpected changes in my travel plans. The vibe of the hostel was friendly and easy to socialize with people from all different backgrounds. Loved all the different common areas - especially the Posh Lounge that was generally quiet and had a luxurious feel - great spot to read! Like any hostel, the comings and goings of other guests can't be helped and both nights there were loud footsteps on the stairs - maybe a note encouraging people to walk softly after hours would help? Overall, for the price it's still a total deal given cleanliness, staff, comfort and location.

• faisal (10/5): -
• Léa (8/5): - C'est la troisième fois que je viens à Édimbourg, et la troisième fois que je viens au Castle Rock Hostel ! Super auberge de jeunesse, avec de bons dortoirs, des sanitaires et douches bien tenus, des espaces collectifs très sympas où passer de bons moments. L'emplacement est idéal pour découvrir la ville. Rien ! C'est la meilleure auberge de jeunesse que j'ai pu tester
• Maryn (10/5): Super auberge ! Emplacement, animations, confort de literie -

• Melanie (8/5): A cute and wonderful experience. It feels the establishment wants you to have a good time and cares - How efficient, polite and friendly staff were. The place feels relaxed but disciplined at the same time. The mattress was a bit flat and it would be nice to have a curtain around the bunks especially for solo travellers.

Bathrooms were clean and all social areas were tidy and welcoming. The breakfasts were a little lacking but for 4 pounds I really can't complain
• Diana P. (10/5): - I liked everything about Castle Rock hostel, the place is very big, with gianormous rooms and high ceilings. I especially enjoyed the salons and lounging areas, so cosy! Friendly staff, clean sheets and absolutely amazing location, right next to the Castle.
• Tydings (10/5): Great experience! - The location was great, in walking distance to many place in Edinburgh, along with in walking distance to bus stops. Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating, and the hostel offered several discounts to different places in the city and suggestions of where to go. We didn't spend much time in the hostel, but the lounges were nice and comfortable when we did!
