Top Doune Castle Hotel Reviews

The Social Hub Glasgow

10/10 Excellent

"As so many other reviews have said, really good atmosphere, staff very friendly and approachable. Real buzz about the place with it being a workspace by day also - even spotted a few snoozy dogs at people's feet while they were working away. For me, the absolute highlight is the gym - compared to hotel gyms (and I travel quite a bit), it's absolute tops for me. Just to say also, I read quite a few reviews mentioning it's mainly a space for young people - it is in some ways but it's in no sense exclusionary, quite the opposite and I felt very welcomed and at ease (I'm not a young person!). A real collaborative vibe in the communal areas, I was visiting for work and ended up having some random stimulating chats with other guests/workers. Happily recommend and will be my go to when back in Glasgow."

Richmond Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"No charge parking is a bonus. Easy to find. Rooms not well insulated from normal noise of people walking in the hall way"

Glasgow Westerwood Spa & Golf Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent"

Apex Dunblane Hydro Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very much okay stay in a cosy room. Restaurant at dinner times was hardly inviting but food wasn’t fine. Might go back for easy experience if ba k in the area."

Colessio

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed overnight before my daughter's wedding for a dinner in Stirling. I loved the vibe, historic Scotland on the outside, contemporary restaurant, bar and rooms on the inside. My bed was comfortable and the bathroom was great. It is a great walk to downtown Stirling. Only one thing I would wish for and that was air conditioning. However, this was July and not something one would encounter as outside it was chilly but the windows didn't really let in the cool weather. However, the hotel is really lovely and I would not hesitate to stay here again."
