text: The Castle Rock Hostel is really cool It is located literally across the street from Edinburgh Castle and is very easy to find The interior decoration was very cute and enjoyable and the staff was incredibly friendly I believe they also held little weekly events but I did not go as I was only in Edinburgh for the night nnI only ranked it stars for a few reasons One they were strangely adamant about which bed I was sleeping in I was traveling with only one other friend and we had a bunk bed I was assigned the bottom and she the top but we decided to switch and I do not know the staff was weird about it nnSecondly the beds were extremely uncomfortable I can pretty much fall asleep anywhere sitting straight up with music blaring and I still found it difficult to sleep that night because of how uncomfortable the bed wasnnThirdly the bunk beds are weirdly tall Like there is a massive amount of room between the bottom and top bunks This does not sound like it would be a problem But it is when you are on the top and your duvet falls off the bed in the middle of the night for the third time and you fall off the ladder in your midslumber in attempt to retrieve it because the rungs are placed so far apartnnThe last reason is really no fault of the hostels My friend and I were put into a room of twelve and some of the girls in that room were incredibly rude and inconsiderate
