My friends and I stayed at the castle rock hostel for Christmas and we had an incredible time. This is one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at for many reasons. The location is incredible and the hostel itself is in such a beautiful building. All the facilities were impeccable and clean. The rooms were lovely and the beds are super comfy. The staff are all really cool and lovely. The Christmas dinner they provided for only £25 per person was 3 courses and lots of wine. The main for Christmas

My wife and I stayed at Castle Rock Hostel for Christmas this year and it was the cosiest stay we could’ve asked for. The Christmas dinner provided was amazing and felt like Christmas at Hogwarts with the hostel situated right next to the castle and feeling like a castle itself. Staff was amazing, the daily movies were so nice to get in the Christmas spirit leading up to the day. They did an amazing job of creating events to get people to know one another. We really enjoyed the paint and sip on
