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.

Stayed as a couples getaway. The pool is in a separate building! The bathroom is dated with chipped tiles. The furniture is dated. Food was average (only ONE vegetarian option) cocktails were nice though.

Despite the early morning fire alarm , we would happily revisit. Great location and nicely converted from the old school. Easy parking though tight spaces. The pool was a very welcome treat. The bar and restaurant was pleasant and not over priced. Nice quiet room , with decent fittings.

6 week girl's trip to the UK. We loved our stay at the Stirling Highland Hotel. I loved the history! It's the perfect location to explore the town and walkable to just about everything. Comfortable beds, beautiful decor, super nice staff. If I make it back to Stirling again, I'll definitely be staying at the Stirling Highland Hotel.
