Perfect location

The place of the hostel its amazing. Just in front of the Edinburg castle. The common spaces and the ambient with the rest of the guests incredible too.

The room was a bit little, and at night there was a lot of noise from other guests and the stuff didnt do nothing about it.

I recommend this place

We stayed in the Sherlock Holmes room which was spacious and clean. The shared facilities like bathrooms and kitchen were clean and easy to use. Also, I really like that there's something for everyone at Castle Rock. We only stayed for one night but I got to check out all the lounges for 5 minutes each. Very cool!

It was a bit loud outside the room, particularly because there were bins right outside the room we stayed in. We could hear footsteps, doors closing, and people talking, from evening until late night.

The hostel is very clean and the location is great, close to the Castle! The staff is very nice and they helped me with everything. The option for breakfast is amazing.

The room was a little bit of a mess but that is more caused by guests not the hostel as such.
