    Seems like the building is still under renovation. Everything was functional in the room, but the bathroom needed some work.

    The location was great, breakfast was wonderful, and the beds were comfortable

    The room was lovely and the bed was very soft. The location of the hotel means that you are in the centre of Stirling but somehow feels like a quiet escape. A very short walk up to the castle and close to amazing restaurants you really cannot beat the location. The spa is well stocked (steam room, sauna, jacuzzi, and pool).

    The hotel is in a prime location for seeing The Castle and the facilities in the city . The staff are very friendly and welcoming and ready to help with anything required . The restaurant staff were very efficient too . Beds are very comfortable and hotel is very quiet

    Lovely looking hotel, in a great position

    Breakfast ok, not all choices available, Clearers left our room door not fully shut (door stuck just ajar) once for a day. Always suspicious of hotels that require your credit card details in case you run up a bill ! Even though no mini bar in room, pay for drinks at hotel bar in cash, so why do they need a pre authorised payment ! is this just insurance !!

    Location great, good walks from hotel, room comfortable. Staff helpful.

    All services are extra to be paid: parking, breakfast, even the pool area. The room door was slamming. In general the hotel wasn't renovated for quite some time. I have never seen a 4 star hotel where the only elevator would look like this.

    The location is perfect in the middle of old town. Manu restaurants around. The building is an ex-school from id of 19th century. It looks like a castle, very beautiful. The room was quite big with everything you may need.

    I think breakfast,although quite rich, was on a cheap level and could be improved with both fresh foods, cheese selections and gluten free options

    Great location and the building has great charme. Unfortunatly the interiors does not match with the external ancient decor. But altogether it was good and staff bey nice.

    Breakfast is unfortunately a disaster. The selection is very limited and low quality food is served. Didn't like it at all, sorry. Shower could do with a renovation. The glass cover didn't go far enough and so the rain shower splashed everywhere.

    Nice, castle-like hotel. Room was very spacious and clean. Staff was friendly, check-in and out was quick. Location is superb. Right near the Stirling castle and center. 10 pounds for car parking per night all good.
