In the heart of Stirling

Convenient location to historic downtown and attractions. A paid public parking lot was about 1/3 mile away, which wasn’t too bad if you are traveling light. Lots of nearby coffee shops and cafes and pubs with music (if your timing is right). It’s in an old building so we wandered through multiple fire doors and hallways to get to our room. The staff is very nice. The room was a nice size and nicely furnished with chairs, coffee table, etc. The bed was a little hard, the pillows flat. The bathroom was nice but the shower drained slowly. I was lucky in my timing and enjoyed listening to local play folk music (every second Monday) at a pub just around the corner.

Hotel lay out was confusing but loved the apartment style room. Great to have a kitchenette and a washing machine! A laundry horse would have been nice (instead of hanging things on the radiators) but it all worked out. Windows opened for cool air but no screens. No dining, front of hotel is just a bar, but plenty of options nearby. Great location for an easy walk up to Stirling Castle.

Finding the check-in spot was confusing as it’s in the cafe. There is no typical front desk/ reception area. The staff was very helpful once we found her and she helped us on the phone prior to our arrival to find parking which is challenging. The guest house is a maze of hallways which is a bit confusing, but the room was clean, the bed comfortable and the bathroom large with lots of hot water! Within walking distance of the old town and castle.

The room is very conveniently located in the town. Many services and options nearby. It is upstairs over the bar and although compact the room was pleasant. The girl who checked us in was friendly and helpful. There was some parking available

The only thing this has going for it is the location. The room looked nothing like the photos. The carpets were terribly stained. There was black mould in the shower. The bed felt like it was going to snap and the beds werent made properly with the mattress showing. The elevator was broken. Overall, it was a disappointing stay.

The location was fantastic, especially if you took a train to Stirling, like I did. It was only about two blocks away. Restaurants were all around, within easy walking distance of the castle. The bed was comfortable and clean. They provided excellent tea and little goodies as well. Everything was great except the bathtub had a lot of black soap scum and even some hair at the far end. Luckily, I keep Clorox wipes with me; I cleaned the tub when I noticed it, as it was after hours and no one was around.
