Wow. We’re honestly speechless. Winning at the Hoscars feels a little unreal 🏆

These awards belong to the entire cast and crew - our incredible staff and volunteers who show up every day with heart, hustle, and a whole lot of behind-the-scenes magic. From early mornings to late nights, every smile at reception, every perfectly made bed, every moment of care for our guests… this is your win.
Thank you for believing in what we do, for the hard work no one sees, and for making this hostel award-worthy. We couldn’t have done it without you.

And finally, to our guests - thank you for being part of the story. Without you, there’d be no us.

*Cue applause*

O haggis, haggis, wherefore art thou? 🥃🏰
Burns Night at Castle Rock Hostel = poetry, whisky, questionable accents, and VERY good vibes.
For the uninitiated: Burns Night celebrates Scotland’s national poet Robert Burns with haggis, toasts, and a dram (or three).
We’re serving up Burns Night activities in-hostel AND 15% off your stay—because nothing pairs with poetry like a bargain.
Come for the culture, stay for the chaos.

Creative writing workshop:

each poem of 3 lines is written by 3 different people. The first 2 write blindly, not knowing what was written before or after. The third and final writer tries their best to tie the lines above together in a coherent poem. The final poem is created with each participant writing one line, entirely blind. A Cadavre Exquis of poetry.

Every room at Castle Rock Hostel feels like its own little chapter - bunk beds tucked under slanted ceilings, stone walls that whisper old stories, and windows that frame a different kind of magic. One looks onto winding closes, another onto rooftops and spires, another straight to the castle itself.
What view would YOU want to wake up to?
