Very nice room above a small pub, close to the train and bus stations so easy walkable, only issue was nowhere to leave bags before 3 o’clock check in and we had to leave them with a Stasher service that required a bit of a walk. Other than that was a very nice hotel.

Great stay. Just wish they had microwaves and refrigerators, being there’s no breakfast. Other than the stay I love the fact I don’t have see concierge every time I want to leave out, they have a side door to enter. Plus I enjoyed the available private smoke area.

We reserved a room that was advertised with a king bed. It wasn’t the reality. But it was comfortable anyway and the room was quiet. On our end we didn’t have problems for the check-in because we arrived at 3pm, but other travellers were stuck in front of a locked door at 7pm and nobody was answering the phone. It took more than an hour for them to have someone to come and do their check-in. No staff onsite at all.

Fantastic. It was a little strange to learn that the front desk was mainly unattended, but that didn't end up being an issue at all. Wonderful, comfortable room. Quiet, except for that moment at around 2am when the entire country cheered Scotland's goal in the World Cup. The only thing that was mildly inconvenient was the parking situation. There is a parking lot behind the building, but it wasn't cheap. Parking at the bus station down the road was much more affordable, but a bit of a walk with luggage, etc.

The room we were in was quite large compared to other Eu and British hotel rooms. The bathroom was modern and large. We parked several blocks away at the train station, where we could pay a daily parking rate, rather than pay each 2 hours at the lot adjoining the building. The reception person was helpful, but reception is only open a couple hours per day, and there were no amenities other than a tea kettle in the room. The facilities met our needs, as there are restaurants, cafes and bakeries on the block. The hotel is in a great location for seeing the sites in Stirling.

The location of the hotel is perfect! It’s right in the city center with plenty of attractions and dining options in walking distance. Staff were friendly and serviced the room daily. There is an overnight parking lot just a few minute walk down the road.

Our stay at Friars Wynde was a treat x Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Room was warm and had everything you need .Being situated in the city centre makes it easy to access anything and everything you need Overnight was about a 5 minute walk from hotel but hotel has parking at back of hotel to use to take luggage through back entrance. Definitely going to stay there again really enjoyed our stay there ❤️
