Edinburgh Castle

Good busy (mostly) pokies on to it staff who get straight up to pay you out

Odd mix of Chinese takeaway & an old style pub.I visited for a dim sum lunch. I’m afraid it has to be a one off experience & I cannot recommend.The people were friendly & welcoming.Food tasted fine & authentic but...& it’s a big butt...MSG. I’ve never had a meal with that much MSG.Avoid

Rooms smells of vomit, bathrooms are small and dirty, and there are only 2 showers/cubicles for the entire floor. Kitchen is barely cleaned with rubbish/leftovers everywhere in the fridge. Hallway is dark and also stinks. Extremely noisy till late in the night, bass from KTV below reverberates throughout rooms till 4am. Staff appear friendly, but are honestly pretty unhelpful. With such cheap rates ($24 per person per night), you really do get what you pay for. But you'd be much better off paying a little more to stay somewhere else than this dump.

Staff always helpful & friendly. John makes awesome hot chips which are available for purchase, as are several other meals off bar menu. Gaming room often busy having a good selection of pokie machines each linked to 3 or 4 separate jackpots in a spacious gaming room. Dart boards, a pool table & some arcade type games are also available to play. One of only two bar/gaming places (other than Sky City) open until 4:00am every night. I believe they also rent out rooms, however unsure of cost & have never viewed. As a bar it's usually relatively quiet, however they have a full selection of drinks from wine, to bottle & tap beer, cider, soft drinks & top shelf. There is a large outdoor area with seating around a courtyard & some bar tables. Location isn't the safest area of the city & so there can be some less desirable patrons, however there's usually a bouncer onsite so I've not witnessed anything too troublesome, just the odd loud intoxicated patron but things are always handled quickly & quietly before anything escalates.

Can't speak on the food. However the accommodation here is good, you get what you pay for, many reviewers had issues on cleanliness here however the room I stayed at and all the facilities were all very clean when I stayed here. Great place

Awesome place, $6 tap beer, good pool table, quiet during day time, sports on tv.Would recommend changing the maps listing to a bar instead of a hotel we missed this place on our first night here. Dont let the old reviews fool you this place is actually really good

Many amazing things to see and do in Scotland and definitely what should be on your bucket list would be to visit Edinburgh castle as it's an 800 years of amazing history that you will experience like no where else in Scotland.

My favorite gaming place ever, just gets .e out of the west. Its an outing for me but be warned there is not a lot of spare machines especially on a Tuesday evening.

Another Iconic bar of the very few that are left in Auckland, This bar has been around since before the six o'clock swill of days long gone even surviving the late eighties penchant to pull all the old pubs down and build apartments at least 6 on tht very intersection and retail shops all in the name of progress its nice to see these old pubs still in operation I'm unsure when this historic pub was built but I'm qiessing probably 1880 maybe? The staff are attentive the pub has a cool covered court yard at the rear for smokers and those wishing to be outside, the POKIES room is modern and enticing with plenty of space to play, something of a rarerity nowadays in the city, I engourage anyone who is bored of the Auckland cassino to come up to the top of symonds and kyber pass rds there is the one and only pub tht is left on tht intersection where in the 70s early 80s there were as I remember 6 on tht intersection alone

The Castle is one of many spots I regularly go to to gamble. The atmosphere is very relaxed & friendly. Castle also provides deep fried foods menu such as... Onion rings ,Hot chips ,Chicken nuggets etc .Check it out..
