The staff was most helpful. The restaurant was great. We had an easy walk, with luggage from the train station. I'd stay here again, easily. The only downside was a street side room was noisy at times. Staff moved us no problem.

Liked how central the Hotel was
Price was fantastic for 2 rooms
Shower was good although bath took a while to fill.
Staff were very accommodating for our problems as we had a few mishaps with key cards on our behalf.

Beautiful location, lovely house, comfortable rooms & superb breakfast. This place is a real gem & easily walkable to the sites and city center. The staff is also lovely, attentive & kind - my friend left something behind & they graciously posted it to us in Edinburgh. A must stay!!

Clean comfortable and friendly. The staff made us feel completely welcome. Excellently crafted cocktails and very delicious food. We arrived and saw no need to leave to go anywhere else for the evening. After dinner, while our traveling companions went to bed, my husband and I stayed in the bar and felt quite at home playing a game.

Stirling exceeded our expectations. It was rich in history.
Stirling exceeded our expectations. It was rich in history. The locals were very friendly and helpful. There was a wide variety of restaurant options. Even the thrift stores were top notch. There were several options to enjoy entertainment. We highly recommend the Settle Inn (on St. Mary’s Wynd) the oldest ale house in town (300+yrs). We were very moved by the traditional folk music performed by the locals. We also recommend joining in on one of the free guided tours in the Castle. It’s a great way to get to know the gossip of the royals and renegades.

There is so much to see and to absorb if you love history and want to know where your ancestors came from. Essential: talk to people wherever you go. There is so much to learn from those who staff the historic sites! Dee and Trisha were great sources of info. See Holy
Rude Church and the connected graveyard. Wow! Always ask for the hidden or less seen places. The Stirling Smith Art Gallery and Museum is a quirky gem. (It has the oldest known football.) Things to remember: walking is great, but challenging. Taking a taxi sometimes makes you miss some of the things, however, like going through the graveyard at Holy Rude.

I really liked Stirling however the stress of being unable to access the Mar Apartment as pin to access was not sent and which we had paid for through Booking.com and having to go searching for alternative accommodation at 8pm was the most stressful and upsetting thing I have ever experienced on holiday. The owner was uncontactable although I tried to call her 20 times and sent several emails and Booking.com did not help just kept saying to ring the owner. The situation has become even more upsetting as both Booking and the owner of the Mar Apartment are refusing to refund my money. Will never return to Stirling. Will never use Booking.com again. Awful experience.

Stirling is a lovely area.
Stirling is a lovely area. The castle is really interesting but there is a lot of walking on cobbles. We are getting on a bit so found it a bit uphill and down dale but well worth a visit. 20 minutes drive from Stirling are The Kelpies and the Falkirk Wheel. The Kelpies are amazing and if you book a tour they take you inside, a must for any engineer. Falkirk Wheel is more interesting watching from outside but is an absolute master in engineering. Stirling town centre had a lovely shopping Mal we just found it busy and difficult to park.

Stirling is my home town, but I have lived in the Highlands...
Stirling is my home town, but I have lived in the Highlands for many years now and always enjoy returning. I cannot see it through the eyes of a stranger, but I am proud of what it has to offer. You are literally walking through history on the streets of the upper town below the castle. Climb the Wallace monument and enjoy views from Edinburgh in the east to Argyll in the west. Play golf on one of the finest courses in Scotland with lovely views over the Carse. I could go on. Stirling is a must-see for visitors to Scotland.
I booked with Springfields lodge as the hotel I originally booked with cancelled our booking.
I was fortunate to come across springfield Lodge which was nearer to where our family lived. The location was perfect with Wallace monument less than a mile away and the city centre of Stirling approximately 2 miles away with the historic Stirling Castle to explore.
Both Kevin and Kim were the perfect host, very friendly making sure our stay with them was relaxing, and sharing their local knowledge of where to visit or dine out.
A very old hotel with a lot of character, you won't get cold here with super heated rooms!
The room without a view was very comfortable and bed was excellent, good nights rest.
Spotless clean room - nothing to fault.
Breakfast was cooked to order (full Scottish) and a top host to sort it out - full marks for that lass.
That was the best I had in traveling back to Scotland from Folkstone.
Parking on the property was a bonus - not the best of off street parking but excellent to get the car off the main drag.
A wonderful stay!! The flat was very clean and modern. The beds were very comfortable, wifi was fast, full kitchen which was well stocked with cooking pans/utensils and full size refrigerator. Nice to have a washer & dryer while on vacation. And also nice to have three bathrooms and three floors for privacy.
Excellent location for exploring Stirling, St. Andrews, The Kelpies and Perth. Absolutely no complaints or suggestions for improvements. Thank you. If in the area again, we would definitely stay here.
It's really nice hotel. Big, fancy and just in the middle of city centre. Room was big, clean - with really comfy beds, even the bathtub was there! So, it was so nice to take a bath after long day walking around the Stirling. Tasty breakfast with a wide range of food (sausages, beans, mushrooms, eggs, fruit, toast,...) and drinks (different types of coffees, juices etc..). Like I wrote, location is fantastic - close to shopping centre, bus and train station, and it's just below the castle.
We’ve spent almost a month in Scotland - and this was by far our favorite place to stay! Debbie, our host, was delightful
and made the stay feel as if you are visiting in the home of a good friend.
The room was warm and comfortable. There were nice details they thought of that included a refrigerator, robes, and fluffy towels. The breakfast was amazing- made to order with eggs from their chickens and cut up fresh fruit. We’d recommend this B & B to anyone staying near Stirling.
Right in the center of Stirling. It was a little tricky to find, but we made it and there was paid parking directly behind the hotel.
Our room was small, but serviceable. Comfortable, nicely appointed and clean. Updated bathroom. Room was quiet with no noise from the pub or the stree.
Breakfast was quite good. We enjoyed dinner in the pub, too, which was quite nice. Staff were friendly and helpful.
We liked how Laura welcomed us on the arrival and explained all we needed to know. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and it was the best food we had throughout all the stay in Scotland.
The location was more than perfect to visit Stirling on foot.
We also appreciated that there was parking available.
This is a hotel to stay in while on a road trip--not a destination hotel. The rooms are very clean, comfortable, and quiet. The only food service in the hotel area is a vending machine. Check in is at the restaurant in the next parking lot. The restaurant breakfast that we paid for was adequate.
Excellent Location, Good sized exceptionally clean room, Excellent Breakfast. Very helpful and friendly staff. All the facilities at the Hotel were excellent. Would highly recommend a stay at the Stirling Highland Hotel. Can't wait to return. Excellent Car Parking facilities.
I like the location of the hotel.
The staff really work hard. The food is good quality and value for money.
Stirling City centre is not that far away.
Attractions are plentiful and leaflets are available at the hotel and the Bannockburn King Robert the Bruce centre.
Great location, lovely rooms and excellent breakfast in the morning! Private parking available at the back of the hotel. We stayed for 1 night, the hotel had everything we needed. The restaurant/bar area is nicely done and the food was great. Would stay again!
The setting is fantastic, perfectly central to plan a tour of Scotland! A big kitchen and plenty of living space means you feel at home, rather than a hotel/hostel. Keys were easy to locate, communication with the hosts was excellent, very clear and helpful.
couldn’t fault anything with the stay, the room was fantastic as was the food and the staff. would recommend and would definitely stay again. location is perfect for getting around as it’s a quiet area but a very short walk to the city centre/castle.
Location is amazing with spot on view on the Wallace Monument from hotels terrace and lake with amazing greenfield to walk around. 5 minutes driving distance to Stirling city centre. Staff was very helpful to resolve our concerns.
Clean room with great facilities and fast WIFI. The hosts were very welcoming and kind to us. Great place to be used as a hub while traveling, because all major attractions in southern Scotland are a short drive from Stirling.
Fantastic location, not too far from Stirling city centre.
Friendly staff who are extremely accommodating.
The children loved the play area and seeing the horses from the Equestrian Centre.
Hotel Colessio is ideally situated in Stirling on road up to Castle, staff as usual were brilliant and nice to see old faces again as previous stays were during covid.
Beautiful hotel, both exterior and interior. Huge dining and bar area to welcome us. Perfect location for rail travel combined with visiting Stirling Castle.
