I stayed in a individual room and not a dorm. This is like a college style dorm but the individual room was great. Quiet location, The location was great and you could walk to everything. Amazing parking directing out front (only 5 spaces) and amazing historic setting. Front desk staff wonderful good WiFi. Good hot water. Wonderful common area with nice kitchen area. Tiny little sink and weird pressure. Again what a great location. I would return again .

I had an amazing experience at Stirling youth hostel! It's a 5 minute walk from Stirling castle and old time jail, as well as from lots of shops and restaurants. Very conveniently located. The staff were the best part. Everybody was so helpful and personable, especially Hamish! So glad I chose to stay here!

You get what you pay for
The room was very basic and had a lot of condensation and peeling paint. The side lamp was broken. Cheap and cheerful (and warm)

Clean, simple, good for a family.
Comfortable for our family and conveniently located. The view from our room was also lovely, overlooking the city. It was very clean and perfect for us. I’d stay again!

OK place, but shower arrangements spoiled it a bit
Generally it was good. However, the water from the shower flowed into the room a bit (there was just a shower curtain and not a door), which was disconcerting. We didn't have towels, so we didn't have anything to mop it up. If it wasn't for this, we would have been very happy. The breakfast was nice.
