Every aspect of the property was absolutely amazing, cannot fault anything. Great breakfast options, beautiful bar very comfortable lounge area, rooms very clean. Lovely staff. Very close to the shops and restaurants. I would defineately go back
The hotel is a great place.
Parking is convenient at a cost but not unreasonable.
Reception was very efficient and quick, we upgraded to a deluxe king which was great.
All the facilities are spot on and a great touch was the deicer in reception, it was very cold.
Breakfast was really good, nice variety, very tasty with excellent service.
Handy for all the sights and good restaurants.
The hotel room had all the essentials we needed. There was significant wear on the carpet in our room but all in all, it was a comfortable stay. The hotel is very well located for the city centre and the castle etc.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Courteous and helpful staff, poor room lighting, rather shabby carpets. Only continental breakfast available (at 9 on a Sunday morning). Good sized room.
Room and location great! Staff was great. Drinks at bar were much more expensive than at restaurants and pubs around Stirling. Breakfast was disappointing. Need decent coffee to start and quality of cooked items was not gray compared to other hotels we've stayed at in UK.
4 stars because of the value. The hotel is a bit dated, but fine. The room was small, and the bed not the greatest, the bathroom was nice. But I found the hotel charming- and the staff excellent. The bar in the hotel is cozy and friendly (a special thank you to Chris for making us feel welcome!). The location is excellent in the center of historic Stirling. It seemed like parking was pretty easy (though we didn't have a car). I would recommend, with reasonable expectations.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Great property location close to everything and fairly clean with a brand new shower. The staff is excellent and service was amazing. Only downfall would be the musty smell in the room. But overall a great stay.
Great location near Stirling Castle, Holy Rude, pubs & restaurants. We opted for the breakfast which was good & a time saver. Only downside is the lighting in the bathroom. There is none at the sink & mirror.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The staff are lovely, the location is great and the parking is easy and reasonably priced. The hotel itself needs a lot of money spent on it. It’s 3* at best. In our room the paint on the ceiling was flaking off, there’s a large greasy mark on the wall and the carpet was completely threadbare in some areas.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room was nice and big, just a little run down. It was mostly clean but the bathroom could have been better.
Staff at reception were friendly and helpful but not so much at breakfast. Continental breakfast options were limited and only 2 options were included in the breakfast. A further charge of £5 is added for anything thats not a scottish breakfast or filled roll.
Location was great. Plenty of parking available and not too bad a price for overnight.
