Castle Rock Hostel, 15 Johnston Terrace, Edinburgh, EH1 2PW

In a wonderful location, facing south with a sunny aspect and panoramic views over the city, Castle Rock Hostel is just steps away from the city centre with the historic Royal Mile, the busy pubs and late-late nightlife of the Grassmarket and Cowgate and of course the Castle.

Most of the rooms have no traffic noise, there are loads of great facilities, 24 hour reception and no curfew. With its beautiful and dramatic skyline Edinburgh is truly one of the world’s great cities. The cobbled streets of the Old Town lead past mysterious gothic buildings up to the magnificent castle. Below the castle’s rocky pinnacle lies the New Town’s 200 year old Georgian splendour.

This accommodation is featured on our map of the Scottish Borders, Glasgow, Edinburgh and South Scotland and here is its own website.

Arthur’s Seat Walk

Just one of the great activities available from Castle Rock Hostel

Blown away by another great Arthur’s Seat walk organised by Castle Rock Hostel.  This is just one of the events organised by the hostel, such as pub crawls, pool competitions and ceilidhs to keep you entertained. There are also Movie marathons in the  Cinema Room. This was a great Great day for an Arthur’s Seat walk, but an even better day for a Highland Chicken and a well deserved cold pint back in the old town.
