Top Doune Castle Hotel Reviews

YOTEL Glasgow

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect room for a short stay. really well designed. Small but had everything I needed, and more. Staff were lovely and very helpful. Comfortable and quiet. And the temperature controls actually worked!"

The Golden Lion Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was good, staff very helpful when needed. Hotel ideal location for pubs & eating places. Has a good bar if u want to sit in the hotel& relax. Rooms were comfy & clean"

The Stirling Highland Hotel

8/10 Good

"We have stayed in the hotel several times this time there were extra payments that we included before like Parking, use of pool, etc The hotel is nice but we were in a family room and compared to the other rooms in the hotel the standard was poor. The carpet was thread bare and the bunk beds were very old and creaky so much so that our 9 year old was too scared to sleep in them. The restaurant was nice and leisure pool was also good and the location is great."

The Social Hub Glasgow

10/10 Excellent

"Very quiet for the city centre. Staff were all lovely, and knowledgeable. One issue... The pillows are feathers, and none available for swaps if feathers or the height doesn't suit you. I get they are environmentally better, but not great for wheezers. But having a handful of other pillows would help. I opted for a clean bath towel in a clean pillow case. Sorted. But it was clean, everything worked and quiet."
