Terrible stay at run down hotel
The hotel is falling apart at the seams. The on-off knob of my shower did not work, requiring extraordinary force while gripping the knob with a towel to turn the shower off. I informed the technician who was inspecting the rooms, about it in the morning, but nothing was done the whole day, leaving me to repeat the "precarious turning off of the shower" performance on second night. To top it all, the TV turned on loudly by itself at 11:00pm while we were just dozing off!!! The room condition is poor, not even a single hook to hang anything in the bathroom.

Gone sadly downhill
Arrived very late but had phoned ahead and had been assured the night staff would welcome us. There were NO night staff at reception but printed instructions to pick up a phone to contact them. After a quarter of an hour without response, my wife went walkabout and discovered someone setting the breakfast tables. They came and checked us in, during which process one of his colleagues appeared yawning from the reception back office. Draw your own conclusions. The bathroom in our room was very tired and in need of complete replacement. We already knew the hotel was very busy as it had been hard to park in the car park as it was nearly full of Netherlands-registered MGs. The next morning the cooked breakfast was left congealing as the continental breakfast was hammered by the Dutch MG owners club. There weren't enough serving people and the staff couldn't keep up. The supply of food was inadequate. After tea and toast we went out into Stirling and had a better breakfast sat in the street. At checkout we raised these issues with reception. In fairness, the lady on duty apologised for the problems on our arrival and said they would be addressed. However she was surprised to be told that our bathroom was worn out and positively defensive about the terrible breakfast service. Apparently they were fully booked. Presumably it caught them by surprise when everyone in a large group, touring Scotland on the same schedule, needed breakfast at the same time. We won't stay here again.

Rooms in need of a refresh. But service was good and food ok. Biggest positive was location- a short walk (quite steep) from the station and close to the castle and other attractions in the old town

The location of this hotel is perfect, at the top of the hill and directly in the shadow of Stirling Castle. The room was simple but with comfortable bedding and a large bathroom. The amazing building with its history as a former school, gorgeous lobby, plentiful free parking, great included hot breakfast (including all the elements of a full Scottish breakfast!), again the LOCATION all make this hotel a great choice to see the best of Stirling.
