We stayed here for one night as we were meeting friends in Stirling and would choose it again if we ever return. Some of the public areas have still to be refurbished but our room had been decorated recently and the bathroom was very modern indeed.We had a drink with our friends in the hotel lobby when we returned from... more

Location in old town was convenient to castle and shops, but difficult to find. There was a large coach bus group filling most of the rooms in busy August. Breakfast was average. We purposely booked an 'Executive' Room but were told there was a plumbing problem and no renovated family rooms were available. The bathroom was atrocious. The room was... more

Stayed for a weekend for a shopping and sightseeing trip with some girlfriends and was delighted with our stay. From the service, to the quality of the room and the lovely food on offer we couldn't believe it wasn't a four star hotel. It certainly has four star rooms and a fabulous Scottish breakfast. I had been to the hotel... more

Just spent a girl’s weekend in Stirling for my friend’s birthday. We had a great time. Hotel is centrally located and just a short walk from bars, restaurants and the castle. We were booked into a standard room, after reading reviews we were a bit worried, no need. Rooms are fab, more than value for money. They were very modern,... more

We were told that all the rooms had been recently refurbished and were not disappointed with ours. The food at the function was excellent and the next morning the breakfat lived up to my... more

The location of this hotel is excellent, right in the centre of Stirling among the shops. The rooms have recently been updated and were fresh and clean. Though ourselves and a number of guests had to request alternative rooms due to being given twins despite asking for doubles. This was slightly frustrating due to the cost and the lengthy journey... more
