    The slow elevator was the only thing that I noticed being a bit off.

    The golden lion was a great location right in the center within a few minutes' walk to the train station. Staff were nice, and the decor exuded a timely ambiance.

    Was surprised to be told there was no WiFi in the room and we had to go downstairs for it. The head of the shower over the bath would not fix in an upright position and had to be handheld. The bath had a very shiny finish and should have had a grab bar for safety.

    The hotel was very comfortable and clean and with it's own parking, was perfect. The Staff were friendly and efficient. Also loved the central location.

    Heating not working, it came on as advised but barely... The room remained cold, so we sat in reception for a bit. Breakfast was ok, nice to have dinner on site too.

    Central location with parking. A large function was taking place, but we barely heard the music/guests from our room

    Friendly & Welcoming staff, good selection provided at buffet breakfast, hotel situated in town centre, so close to amenities & transport links, Been here in the past, and will return to this hotel in the future. Will recommend hotel to anyone who wishes to visit Stirling. Well done team Golden Lion 🤗

    It was a bit cold. The central heating didn’t come on until 6pm so we were chilly getting ready to go out. We had a view of the back yard but our room was cheap so we were ok with that.

    Nice old fashioned hotel. Clean.

    The public areas were beautiful however it may have just been our room but it was a little tired basics like the bedding and bathroom were excellently clean but the carpets were grubby.

    Breakfast was a buffet full English and continental. It was beautifully laid out, perfectly cooked and plentiful. Staff very attentive too. 5 stars

    Expected city view but it was a rooftop view. TV too small. We like to get some down time and chill when we take a break so a decent tv is preferred.
