Great location in the middle of Stirling No drinking water in the room. Shower with poor draining and almost no space to put or hang your toiletries, towel and clothes. No elevator. A lot of noise from the ventilation system or something like that during the night. The carpet might be cleaner. In general, I don’t understand why hotels and hostels put carpets on the floors- they are so unhygienic!

I had a fantastic 4 night stay. My room 220 had 3 large windows providing a scenic view over parts of Stirling. The room was adequately furnished. The only downside was that you can not drink the water from the basin tip in the room - old pipes is the issue. However you can get drinkable water in the kitchen downstairs. The staff were friendly and helpful. The light breakfast was all I needed - and an affordable price. The kitchen is well equipped - and plenty of eateries nearby. The car park is small - not a big issue as there was street parking available after about 5 or 5.30pm.

So near to the castle ! Perfect place to have a free car park (but limited number of places !) and visit Stirling on foot.

Location was not too bad close to the town centre and just a few minutes walk to Stirling Castle Our room was up maybe four flights of stairs and no kettle in the room meant a long walk up and down to the kitchen
-
All nice well organised people seemed quiet and friendly - great location
-
Location is good, close proximity to the few places of attractions we wanted to visit. Clean basic room and the common kitchen. As expected of a student living hostel. The mattress is too thin so it's not very comfortable.

Location The soundproofing is very poor. A boy-group upstair made a big noise till 2 am and no improvement after reminding, we barely slept for the entire night. And btw, a bit smelly in the room. Very bad experience

Good location in Stirling- up a hill. Nice room and WiFi in rooms Not much car parking space but car parking spaces nearby which you would have to pay for during the day but free at night.
