We booked the Highland Hotel at the last minute due to a change of plans because of Storm Amy. We were very happy with the room and the service we received, it's a lovely old hotel in a great spot for exploring Stirling Castle and the township. Parking was reasonably priced and on-site.

Brilliant location, hotel itself just in need of a refresh. Public areas are great, rooms are just very tired. Clean and comfortable enough but would stay again as there are nicer hotels in the same price range in Stirling.

This was a beautiful old hotel which was once a high school. Very convenient location - easy (uphill) walk to the castle and easy (downhill) walk to shops and restaurants in the town. Friendly staff and good breakfast and dinner. The only downfall was the elevator system which did not help us much on the second floor. Understandable considering the age of the building. Parking was very safe and convenient in the protected courtyard.
