    excellent access to parks and notable attractions for city lovers

    I had such a great time exploring Stirling, with a comfortable stay that was perfectly positioned just a few steps away from the Thistles Shopping Centre and the vibrant local cafés and restaurants. honestly, it made a world of difference for enjoying endless walks through the city and its historic sites, especially with the bed being comfy enough for a good night’s sleep after long days out and about. The staff were friendly and helpful too during my stay, making it easy to unwind after a busy day.

    Had a fab stay! The staff was super nice and helped with everything. The room was huge and spotless. Breakfast had a ton of options that were delish. Only thing, the parking access was a bit tricky to find. Would suggest adding clearer directions for that. really enjoyed it!

    clean family room
    relaxing lounge
    run-down parking area

    I had a lovely stay in a family room where everything was clean, and the kids loved the pool and play area! There’s a cozy lounge with games and a TV that made our downtime super enjoyable. The parking area could use some work, but overall, I’d definitely recommend it for a family getaway! 👍

    decent meal
    busy dining area

    It was just a proper fit for a short staycation in Stirling with good value. The meal in the hotel was decent, but the dining area was really busy. Just remember to double-check if everything in your room is in order before you settle in.

    would like to come again

    The room was spacious with a comfy double bed, but the décor felt a bit dated. Shower had a decent flow, and I appreciated the complimentary tea and coffee maker. Staff were super friendly, which made the stay more enjoyable. Breakfast had a solid selection with fresh pastries and good coffee. a pleasant stay for the price.

    Nice stay with helpful staff!

    Had a chilled night here. The bar was great for a late drink and the tea options in my room were a nice touch. The staff were super friendly and always up for a chat. The shower was amazing! Just a bit tricky finding the parking entrance, had to go around twice.

    worn room
    neglected car park

    A nice experience with friendly staff and generous breakfast offerings. While the location is convenient, the car park needs attention and my room showed signs of wear. Nonetheless, the hotel was charming and served as a pleasant base for exploring the area.
