The property was super convenient to the castle with parking and a restaurant on the property, so that was a plus. The staff was all really nice accommodating. The reason for a 4 star review is the shower had what appeared to be mold in it.

Bring your earplugs
If you are looking for rest, avoid this hotel on the weekends. The hotel hosts weddings and parties, and I was kept up all night because of the loud music and shouting from those smoking in the parking lot outside my window. Then, when the celebrations ended, the couple staying next to my room came back at 2:30 a.m. and continued their partying and music. Given that the room had thin connecting doors, I felt like I was in the same room. At one point, I could even hear the guy fart. This didn't end well because they got into a big argument and started yelling at each other, which lasted until 7:00 a.m. when she finally walked out of the room. I could not wait to get out of there!

I have stayed here many times when I have come to Stirling and it’s a great hotel for off street parking and protection of my highly desirable car but I get fed up of all the increases in cost. I have stayed here on a Sunday once for Rememberance and it was £64 then just stayed there last night and was an eye watering £130 so I think this is a bit extreme to hike the price up so much. Otherwise it’s a great hotel to stay at.

It was a lovely stay, the hotel is a fabulous old school building, though I would of liked to if explored the library (locked) My only complaint is, it does need updating a bit. Had a double room, really clean, fresh bedding, towels, but just needs updating/modernising. Staff were fab, great help, breakfast each morning was lovely & a good range of hours. Will be returning
