I stayed here for one night on business trip. The hotel is a converted school and seems to be very popular with US tour groups. The castle is a stroll away so good for sightseeing. The room was OK and reasonable size. But the rest went downhill. Room service said they had run out of hamburgers because "they are very... More

Bed linen was a disgrace. It looked if it wasn't changed from the folks before. The pillow cases were marked with make up. All they offered was to iron the sheets. The replacement sheets looked just as bad. Walked out of hotel in disgust. Room 355 at the far end of the hotel. Reception was the only place to get... More

We recently spent a few days at this hotel and much was as expected. Our room overlooked a building site but thankfully there was no work being done during our stay. The location was great, food was excellent and service good. In fact the only disappointing thing was that the hotel advertises free wifi throughout, however we were never able... More

Very comfortable, and friendly staff, in a superb location in the old town of Stirling. Our room was very clean, although the net curtains could do with being replaced/freshened up. Dinner in the restaurant was excellent, with friendly attentive staff. Breakfast was very well presented with a really good choice - and again those attentive staff. It really is a... More

The premium rooms are not what I would term...premium. Ours had rings on the furniture tops and very worn chrome taps. Having said that the room was spotless and the bed was very comfy. The restaurant was first class, food was superb and we could not fault the service at either dinner or breakfast. The breakfast is done as a... More

Public rooms and function suites are pleasant enough but looks like bedrooms have only seen slight update since the 1970s. Cleanliness poor in the bedroom- bin unemptied on my check in, carpet dirty and surfaces dusty. Complimentary Toiletries in the bathroom half used by previous guests.

Staff were all excellent and very friendly. Rooms were good but need an update, free wifi was v slow and dropped out. I will stay here next... More

Set in a former high school, this hotel has plenty of charm. The staff went out of their way to make our special weekend even more so. Top marks on that front. The only recommendations for improvement would rest with the leisure facilities. Some plants, pictures etc would bring an increased level of relaxation to the place and soften the... More

Good helpful staff, average rooms ,needs to be updated to be really good.Interesting building and perfect position in Stirling.Pleasant stay, but with a refurbishment could be excellent. Don't dine in the restaurant, there is a fabulous Italian restaurant just down the road called Mamma Mia which was a must visit. Great position for walking to the Castle.
