We have stayed here many times as it is very dog friendly and enjoy the area for a wander. Things i did not enjoy this time - the window was faulty and the room initially was cold as it was left open and would not close. Toiletries are meagre and not the best quality. The room was noisy and could hear movement constantly above, from all sides and the hallway, rooms next to us. Nescafe coffee is not the best for room facilities nor is ONE bottle of water, 2 small biscuits. Parking used to be free and they were sneaky about the ‘new’ charges and i was not informed ONCE until i was already paying for it. The spa facilities were still appreciated and of a good standard and i would go back for this overall but may try a few other hotels next time to compare instead of our usual straight back to this one every time we visit.
First time staying here , thoroughly enjoyed our stay , lovely rooms , bathroom bit dated but spotless, food lovely , staff were fantastic, very friendly and helpful, would definitely stay again
This property is gorgeous. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They continuously answer any and all questions and give out the best advice of the best locations in the area from restaurants to locations to visit off the normal tourist path.
Beautiful property and close to several key attractions in the area, or a good base for some hiking.
Short walk into town made finding a variety breakfast, dinner and coffee options easy,
The property was super convenient to the castle with parking and a restaurant on the property, so that was a plus. The staff was all really nice accommodating. The reason for a 4 star review is the shower had what appeared to be mold in it.
I have stayed here many times when I have come to Stirling and it’s a great hotel for off street parking and protection of my highly desirable car but I get fed up of all the increases in cost.
I have stayed here on a Sunday once for Rememberance and it was £64 then just stayed there last night and was an eye watering £130 so I think this is a bit extreme to hike the price up so much.
Otherwise it’s a great hotel to stay at.
Lovely unique hotel. Staff and facilities are great too. We didn't need the car to go anywhere all weekend and we had two small children. Walkable to the castle and lovely surroundings.
Hotel was lovely and staff were very helpful. Only slight negative was bathroom being slightly dated and shower control proving difficult to turn off, i.e., water continued to drip.
Lovely unique hotel in the Centre of Stirling.
Large comfy room, good food and decent gym and pool.
2 minute walk to castle or town centre.
Staff all very friendly and helpful.
this is an amazing hotel. the car parking is very convenient. both the breakfast and dinner in the hotel is great. the location is very convenient to go to the stirling castle.
also, i really enjoyed the staff, they were very friendly and courteous.
it's a bit of a walk to the wallace memorial, but well worth it if one is able to go on foot.
