Easy to find at the end of a long journey - simply follow the signs to Stirling Catle. We wanted to visit Edinburgh and a member of staff suggested taking the train - excellent service from nearby station and air conditioned trains!! We stayed during a heat wave. The head waiter went to great lenghts to organise fans in the... more

We picked this up for £49 B&B for a getaway over the bank holiday weekend. It looks very commanding from the outside and inside first impressions are good with a spacious reception area. Our room was fairly large and nicely (if not freshly) decorated with a great view across to the hills. The bath/shower area looked a bit tired though... more

Our visit involved a group of around 50 some in their 80's. Arrival was Ok with staff assisting in the collection of bags. All in all the staff were good, trying their best. What let the place down was the awful dining experience. evening meals took 2 1/2 hours (yes that's right 2 and a half hours) with the group... more

We enjoyed our stay at the Barcelo and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We had very good food particularly the evening meals more

It wasn't obvious on arrival where the Reception or car park was. I ran in to ask, however this involved going up many flights of stairs. We arrived quite late in the evening as had had a 6+ hour journey so were a bit concerned we would still be able to eat dinner, for which we had already paid. The... more

We booked this as part of a spring offer through Barcelo, so we were initially wowed by the good deal we received. Upon arrival at the hotel, I was impressed with the building itself and the central location - literally in the centre of the city and just down the road from the castle. We didn't have dinner in the... more

Stayed here for 4 nights in March and found the following: Check in was prompt, friendly and efficient. Room was adequate sized, but due to the small windows (which did open properly) it was a bit dark, but this is an old building and wasn't a purpose built hotel. Car parking wasn't a problem for us, although we did get... more

This hotel was pretty awful. Very overpriced. We had several complaints including- - confusion about whether the room had been paid when we booked, both when checking in and again when checking out. - We found a dirty sock in the room - When we got into bed at night, the bed was not properly made. - Instead of dining... more

we arrived at 1pm, an hour before being allowed into the room, so went for a drink in the bar. Very poor choice of wines (4 red plonks) and a waitress who was doing everything and so it took 20 minutes to get 2 glasses of wine. Got into our Premium graded room at 2 pm...very cold and so tried... more
