Great Hotel

We booked three nights in Stirling, we had little to no expectations of this hotel as we simply decided the town was a good location for our visit. We loved this hotel, will definitely stay again and highly recommend.

The beds were comfy and the staff friendly. The hotel has character but could definitely use some updating. We enjoyed our stay though and found it quiet but walkable to everything we wanted to see.

Extremely slow check in

The check in procedure is insane. It takes so long it’s almost amusing. Stayed here a couple of years ago and that’s the big negative I remember from then, and it’s not changed. It absolutely needs to be streamlined. The hotel managers should take a note from 99% of other hotels with the check in process.

How did it get a 4 * rating?

Not sure how it got a 4 Star Rating?!? Tired decor but very cozy bed. The Leisure Center is getting a much needed update but pool, spa and steam were very nice. Steep 10 pound nightly parking fee.

Too many hidden charges.

Be careful.. lots of extra charges applied at hotel if not booking direct with them. Parking used to be free for guests, now £10 extra a night, paid at hotel. Also, we booked a room for 4 people, bed and breakfast. Seemingly however, the hotels.com only allows for two adults. So, an extra £6.50 per kid also applied. I've been coming here for 5 years, next time I won't book through hotel.com as too many hidden charges. Check in staff great, very courteous. As always.
