We really enjoyed our time here. We didn’t realize when we booked here that they accept dogs and we really enjoyed meeting everyone’s pups! The staff was friendly and helpful and the pool and hottub were a huge bonus after walking a million steps a day up hill. The building is really unique and picturesque and we would definitely stay here again.

The rooms are a good size and the beds comfortable. Some of the bathroom fittings/radiator etc are a bit dated, considering this was a deluxe room. The armchairs in our room need upholstered or replaced.

The location was great for seeing the castle and the old town. The decor is tired and could use a little attention. The breakfast was okay. They could use an additional coffee machine as the wait for a cup of coffee was quite long.

The staff at Stirling was amazing. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and kind. I want to give shoutouts to Ana, Cara, Amalee, and Declan in the restaurant.Their personal touches made our dinners memorable. Cameron, Bryony, and Joseph (aka a young Gerard Butler) were welcoming and helpful. We will definitely stay here again. The atmosphere of the hotel matched the surrounding neighborhood. It is just a short drive to the castle and a short walk to city shops. We loved Stirling!
