You’re Never Too Old To Stay in a Hostel–Castle Rock Hostel

Say the word “hostel” and most people see a mental picture of teenagers sleeping in bunk beds, 12 to a room. Most people don’t realize that Hostels today often cater to an older traveler. Private rooms, free breakfast, reasonable prices, unique decor and other activities make hostels an attractive option for seniors traveling on a budget. Make no mistake, hostels are not the Radison but the quirky differences can add to the charm of a hostel stay. The Castle Rock Hostel, in Edinburgh, Scotland was right across the street from Edinburgh Castle. It’s a good example of what I am talking about. Our room was up a lot of steps and was not much bigger than our closet at home. But take a look at these pictues and I think you will see why we LOVED our stay.
