Room and location great! Staff was great. Drinks at bar were much more expensive than at restaurants and pubs around Stirling. Breakfast was disappointing. Need decent coffee to start and quality of cooked items was not gray compared to other hotels we've stayed at in UK.

The room was nice and big, just a little run down. It was mostly clean but the bathroom could have been better. Staff at reception were friendly and helpful but not so much at breakfast. Continental breakfast options were limited and only 2 options were included in the breakfast. A further charge of £5 is added for anything thats not a scottish breakfast or filled roll. Location was great. Plenty of parking available and not too bad a price for overnight.

The biggest problem with this property was the check-in procedure. You had to snag a parking place in the front and then walk up at least 20 steps to check in. Then walk back down. Either get your luggage out and somehow get it up the steps or leave it in your car and pay $10 a day to park it in their parking lot out back with no easy way into the hotel.

The Colessio is situated in the heart of downtown Stirling, which made it a very convenient location for exploring the city on foot. It is housed in an historic building which is quite lovely as well. Our room was clean and the bed was quite comfortable. We did find the heat a little difficult to regulate, and were quite hot through the night. The furniture and fixtures are a bit run down (i.e. the finish was lifting off the desk in the room and the sink had a large (repaired) crack down the middle, but everything was working, so that was really all we cared about. Unfortunately, there was some sort of problem in the kitchen, which meant that there was no food service in the restaurant, so we weren't able to take advantage of breakfast or dinner on site. The staff, however, were super friendly and very helpful.
