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.

Edinburgh Scotland

It’s not difficult to see how the magic in the old city of Edinburgh, inspired J.K Rowling to write Harry Potter.


If you have ever dreamed of visiting Edinburgh, it should be included in your bucket list. The architecture is awe aspiring. Above all the people are about as warm and charming as they come.


Make sure to make time to visit the Highlands and learn more about Scotland’s medieval history.


Traveling on a budget? Castlerock Hostel is a reasonable and convenient place to stay.

It sits right at the base of Edinburgh Castle which is located right in the old city centre.
Scotland is a magical place. Be sure to visit during the summer.
