Castle Rock Hostel

Castle Rock offers one of the most amazing locations for any building - right by Edinburgh Castle! Consistently voted the number one hostel in Scotland as well as frequently appearing in the list of top ten hostels worldwide, we offer a mix of comfort and great facilities with a friendly, laid-back vibe. Sitting just next to the castle we have bright sunny rooms with wonderful views over Edinburgh to the hills beyond. We are also highly convenient for bus, train, airport transfer etc as well as just a skip away from the city's vibrant night-life.
Guests staying with us can take advantage of the free walking tour of Edinburgh that departs from our hostel everyday at 10.30am
