After reading some of the reviews I was a little concerned about our stay. First impression, lovely hotel, our room was clean, spacious, a little tired and in need of a upgrade but. My family including my dog slept well. Quite rooms. Staff on the first morning breakfast was accommodating and very helpful. Was informed we couldn't sit in the main eating area but he moved all that was needed. The next morning different story. The man was unhelpful and clearly didn't want to be there for the day. All in all a good stay just last staff member ruined it a bit

4 stars because of the value. The hotel is a bit dated, but fine. The room was small, and the bed not the greatest, the bathroom was nice. But I found the hotel charming- and the staff excellent. The bar in the hotel is cozy and friendly (a special thank you to Chris for making us feel welcome!). The location is excellent in the center of historic Stirling. It seemed like parking was pretty easy (though we didn't have a car). I would recommend, with reasonable expectations.

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.
