Top Doune Castle Hotel Reviews

The Social Hub Glasgow

10/10 Excellent

"Nice staff, clean room, comfortable bed and great location for a good price. Would definitely recommend."

Metro Inns Falkirk

8/10 Good

"Great, if you just need a decent place to sleep for a night. Parking right outside our window."

Apex Dunblane Hydro Hotel

8/10 Good

"Lovely hotel. Some problems though. The wine that was ordered to be waiting didn’t come. Because the telephone in the room wasn’t working - which we reported but wasn’t fixed - a long walk to reception to let them know. Restaurant food and service were awful. Lovely spa though. Could be so much better with attention."

Clayton Hotel Glasgow

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice staff. Great breakfast. Convenient to the city and car rental. Great place to stay!"

The Stirling Highland Hotel

8/10 Good

"Ideal situation nice big rooms bed comfy bathrooms need upgrading no hot water for bath but shower fine toilet took a few flushes when using you pay £10 to use pool and £10to park in grounds breakfast bit dried up as its a buffet very steep hill to get up to hotel."

citizenM Glasgow

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel and reasonable price . Close to the bus stations and tour pick up spots. The staff were friendly and helpful. The area was safe too - we would come back late night and had no problems"

The Golden Lion Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"All good very accessible to local centre"

Richmond Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice location if you have a car. Parking is free and there's plenty of space. Edinburgh airport and city, the bridges and the Kelpies are a short drive away. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Service is good. There is a pub and a restaurant on site, and the food is good. A petrol station with a convenience store is just around the corner. On the downside, some rooms are difficult to reach with heavy luggage (up several flights of stairs in narrow corridors), and the wifi signal is very weak there. Nevertheless, it's great value for money, and I would definitely stay here again."
