Stirling a wonderful part of Scotland

The hotel was easy to find, well appointed with nice amenities. Its central to Stirling with plenty of interesting places close by. Shopping is a stones throw away as are restaurants and bars with a nice vibe, the hotel requires its decor updating. Would I stay here again YES ABSOLUTELY.

Great night's sleep

We stayed here for one night, arriving the day we flew in to Edinburgh. Parking was very easy and secure. We were on the first floor and it was still one of the quietest places I have ever stayed. We slept soundly and got some much-needed rest after our travels. Shower was great, and we left refreshed and ready for a full day.

Old building with comfortable rooms

The hotel is old, so it has a unique floor plan which made it kind of fun. The breakfast buffet had many options from which to choose and was fairly standard. The bedroom had a decent amount of space with comfortable beds and a good sized bathroom.

Family room

Pros: nice looking hotel, good family room, central location, communal areas smart, decent breakfast buffet, comfy beds, friendly service. Cons: tired rooms, not the cleanest bathroom

Old made new

A wonderful old historic building brought back to life and modernized. Has a host of health and spa amenities. Lovely hot and cold breakfast buffet at a very good price. Ask about the still used observatory — we were allowed to go up and tour it. This hotel gets you most of the way up the hill to Stirling Castle. Lots of great dinner options further down the hill. And much more to see on your way to the castle. A perfect spot for a weekend getaway!

Unique building - excellent lounge and library. Restaurant very good.
Thomas, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel was nice, however we didn’t find there was any ambiance to the dining room. It was very plain. No charm for a Scotland Hotel. Breakfast was very good. Dinner was good, however, there was a very large group in the dining room and not enough staff to service everyone. They did the best they could but it took 2 hours for pizza.
Cynthia, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The location was great, Castle and Pubs in walking distance. The hotel has aged, rooms should be renovated, (old bath room)
