Very modern and nicely equipped. The poor staff at breakfast were horribly understaffed, at least today. One person on shift to do everything! Not their fault but them having to bus, host, take orders, deliver orders and replenish buffet food compromises service.

Not recommended

Arrived early, we weren't expecting to check in but reception staff quite unhelpful, we had parked our car in the hotel car park but were told we only had 15 minutes to pay for parking and to do it straight away. We hadn't realised we had to pay for parking being patrons of the hotel, when i mentioned this i was told that i clearly hadn't read the extra information on the booking site. The room was supposed to be deluxe ,we had no fridge in the room and no air conditioning, the room was red hot, we opened the windows but no air was circulated. We had floor to ceiling windows that overlooked the car park. Anyone getting in there car could see in. We were on the second floor. There was also a lift that only went to the 1st floor. We had to go up in the lift to the first floor walk half way round the building to find the stairs then go up another 2 flights of stairs, further along the corridor and up a short flight of stairs to our room. No offer of assistant for luggage. We arrived for breakfast at 8.30 on the first morning to find nothing left on fruit buffet. When asked if we could have more fruit we were informed that there was non left. Although they had a resturant style area they did not have meals other than breakfast. No names were offered and service very poor. Only saving grace was lication of hotel

Great location, ideal for visiting both the castle and the town centre. Our room had a brand new refurbished bathroom that was fantastic, with a huge bath tub and separate shower but the room itself definitely needed new furniture as all the surfaces were worn and it could all do with a lick of paint. The bed was VERY hard (but I prefer them this way) and we had one window without curtains so it got bright early. We had a 'corner' room and it was very quiet throughout the night. With a few small touches this could be the most excellent hotel though!

Great Locaton & Comfortable

Great location near Stirling Castle, Holy Rude, pubs & restaurants. We opted for the breakfast which was good & a time saver. Only downside is the lighting in the bathroom. There is none at the sink & mirror.

I never leave reviews, but in this case I feel I should. The staff were lovely and the location amazing, however the property is totally run down. The carpets in the room were literally torn up, the furniture tattered, the pillows and beds uncomfortable, and the first room they offered us was so small we couldn’t open both suitcases. They gave us another room slightly bigger. The bathrooms were large and completely remodeled but the room itself was embarrassing. We were glad to be be there only one night.

Room temperature was too hot to sleep and no fix

The staff were wonderfully accommodating but the temperature of the room was unbearably hot. There were other guests who used a chair to prop their door open to the hallway to get some cool air. We left our room windows and curtains open all night to get cool air, even though the light outside kept us awake and woke up early. It was very uncomfortable. The hallways and lobby were a nice temperature but the room was terrible.

Lovely property in a great location. Close to the train station and attractions (old jail, castle and shops/ restaurants). Breakfast was very good. Staff were fantastic however the hotel does not do early check in which was a little disappointing given our 1st two hotels would if rooms were available (they were happy to store our bags though which was nice). Overall though, very good experience and would recommend.

Disappointing room but convenient location

The staff were all really friendly and helpful and the bed was comfy but the room was tiny. If we had realised how small the room was we would have either booked elsewhere or taken the offered upgrade. We were given a shower as requested. It was very conveniently located for the castle, other ancient buildings and for the town centre. Expect really steep hills in order to get anywhere.

This was advertised as a four star hotel The room we were allocated had a threadbare carpet , an old black vinyl based bed and all the vinyl was peeling off and worn . A mismatch of poor quality bathroom fixtures, varnish peeling off the furniture. This was reported to reception but no other rooms were available no manager till the following morning either so I asked if a message could be left and we would see him . Only the duty manager was available no message had been left at all . We moved to another room which had been refurbished which was we should have had initially. We arrived in the restaurant for breakfast the following morning and waited 20 minutes for our order to be tsken . Half an hour later it still hadn’t arrived . This was reported also and we were refunded £13 for the breakfast. After receiving a mail from the hotel asking how our stay was and the general managers mail to contact him with any concerns , I sent a mail and still waiting a reply …..
