The Spotlight on Castle Park Guest House

Charming Victorian Guest House Close to the Music Action

Castle Park Guest House blends classic charm with cozy comfort in a quiet part of central Edinburgh. Housed in a lovely Victorian building, this family-run B&B is just a 20-minute walk from Edinburgh Castle and within easy reach of live music spots, pubs, and cultural highlights. With free Wi-Fi, friendly service, and a hearty cooked breakfast, it’s a great home base for gig-goers who want a peaceful retreat after the show.

Why Concert-goers love it

This guest house is within walking distance of key concert venues while being tucked away enough for a quiet night's sleep. You won’t need to worry about late-night noise or crowds. Flexible check-in from 15:00 lets you settle in before the show, and the 11:00 check-out gives you time to recover the next morning. Public transport and taxis are nearby for easy late-night returns.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for comfort and convenience
- Solo travelers attending special shows
- Couples planning a relaxed weekend with music and sightseeing
- Fans who want a chilled post-concert space
- Budget-conscious travelers who still want charm and quality

Food and Drink Options

Start the day right with a generous cooked breakfast – ideal after a late night. While there’s no on-site restaurant, the location is surrounded by walkable cafés, pubs, and restaurants that serve late. Tea and coffee facilities in every room are a nice touch for your post-gig wind-down.

Nightlife Options

The guest house is within easy reach of Edinburgh’s buzzing nightlife. Whether you're heading to a nearby live music pub or just craving a few craft drinks at a chill lounge, options abound in the Bruntsfield and Old Town areas. Then walk or taxi back to your quiet room.

What People Say

Guests praise the warm, friendly hosts, spotless rooms, and comfortable beds. Many love the location for being just far enough from the hustle but still easy to access the city’s main sights and venues. The breakfast gets frequent shout-outs for quality and portion size.

Areas for Improvement

Some rooms have private bathrooms located just outside the room, which may not suit everyone. It’s a guest house, so don’t expect 24-hour service or modern hotel luxuries – but the charm and service make up for it.

The Bottom Line

Castle Park Guest House is a relaxed, charming base for music lovers who want easy access to Edinburgh’s concert scene without sacrificing peace and comfort.

The B in B&B Stands...

Liked: Wow! This place checked off every box for us. No matter what your main priorities are when booking a hotel, Airbnb, or B&B, Castle Park Guest House has it all covered.From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by the wonderful owners, Ian and David. David kindly carried our heavy luggage up to the third floor, while Ian sat down with us to go over all the amenities and offer great recommendations for attractions, restaurants, and various ways to get around town.This beautifully renovated Victorian-style home perfectly blends charm with modern comforts. If you’ve traveled in Europe, you know how small the bathrooms can be—definitely not the case here! The spacious shower, comfortable king-size bed, daily room refresh, dedicated workspace, in-room coffee and tea bar, fast Wi-Fi, and a stunning view from our window were just a few of the highlights. And the breakfast each morning was absolutely lovely.Ian and David went above and beyond to accommodate every need. The location is ideal—within easy walking distance to the downtown center, the Royal Mile, and many other attractions. If you prefer not to walk, there’s a bus stop just outside with buses running about every 15 minutes.I can’t recommend this place enough. When we return, there’s no question—we’ll be staying here again. Thank you, Ian and David, for making us feel like part of your extended family.
Disliked: Absolutely nothing!! Perfect!!
