Everything!! Location, comfort, cleanliness, staff, atmosphere/vibe and they even do your laundry for you!

Excellent location. Our 14 people room was nice and big.

the property was great. good location great staff very friendly.

Overall, it was a nice hostel experience. Everything was clean and the location couldn't have been better right next to the castle. I stayed on a Friday-Saturday so I missed the main activity nights, but I heard good things about them.

The location is right next to the Royal Mile and we could see the castle from our window! The staff were helpful and knowledgeable. The pub tour was a blast!

The location and the decoration! Also, the view from the room!

Fantastic location, daily fun activities with the hostel. Great staff. Great vibe. One of the best if not the best hostel I've stayed in so far. Loved it!

such a cool place, good location, clean, and friendly staff

The location was just perfect. Right next to the castle. What a shame I had no view. The room was clean when I arrived.

The location was wonderful. We met so many people.

How far are you from the Bus Stop (Direct Special Bus, not local bus) to the airport? I need to take the bus at 4am in the morning, and I don't want to have to walk far. I am not asking about the Airport train because it does not run that early in the moning. ThxHi, It is about a 10min walk to the Airlink 100 bus stop from our Hostel. The bus leaves every 10min 24hrs a day. If you have any further questions, please let us know. Kind regards, Castle Rock CrewAnswered on December 9, 2019
