Our stay there was good, staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel is older. Easy walking distance to the castle and to some other attractions. Walking distance to the train station up a mostly gentle hill.

Majestic Victorian pile. Busy at check-in, comfortable rooms but lighting was very dim which made it difficult to see. Hot buffet breakfast £14/ head was OK, but the coffee was undrinkable.

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.

We booked via Hotels.com and it was a reasonable deal, but we were unaware of additional charges that were not highlighted. We were charged £10 per night for car parking, as we did not book direct with the hotel. To be fair this was in the booking small print, however we were also charged £10 to use the leisure facilities, which was NOT mentioned when booking. I hate hotels that add on random unexpected charges that you are unaware of. The hotel is perfectly fine for a short stay, the bed was comfy and the room was generally clean. However the hotel is quite tired and could do with a refresh, for example black mould on the grout in the bathroom and grimey tiles. The leisure facilities are also tired and not particularly clean. The steam room and sauna were good (but obviously not cleaned as there was a discarded cup in the same place over the 2 days). The spa pool was unfortunately cold, so it wasn’t pleasant to sit in. The swimming pool was fine, though again tired with maintenance needing done (eg pool ladder out of use). I had forgotten my flip flops and wasn’t particularly happy walking about the pool areas. We didnt eat at the hotel, but would recommend Cafe Aina just down the road for authentic Greek food and the Crossed Peels a short walk away for breakfast.
