We liked the experience of staying at a hostel (it was our first time ever). The room was clean, I particularly liked the high ceiling! The 2 windows were very big, and offered nice views of the city. The location was just excellent! Within walking distance of the main attractions of the Old Town of Stirling. Just beautiful. We didn't have breakfast, so can't comment about that. For people on a budget, it's very good value for money.
RomaniaLocation near Stirling Castle was best thing ever. LOVELY area and central to everything. Kitchen was very clean.
United States of AmericaBeautiful building set on the road leading up to the castle. Modern interior. Spacious double room with great views and private facilities. Good kitchen for own catering if required. Helpful staff. Great value.
United KingdomDidn't use restaurant. Clean and warm enough
AustraliaThe experience was sufficient for a young enthusiastic traveler on budget,. Staff was relatively friendly. There was a nice self-service kitchen with two shared fridges. Three of the sightseeing highlights of Stirling were almost next door on the hill (the Stirling castle, the Church of Holy Rude, and the old jail). The hostel's old building and surrounding area were impressive and pleasant.
FranceThe location is perfect. It is a few minutes walking from the city center. You can leave your lugagge in the hostel, but they do not have a specific room to do it, and you have to leave them in the hall! It was very strange
SpainVery lovely, very close to stirling station but a bit uphill and I excluded. Wouldn’t feel safe walking to it after dark.
United KingdomThe Location is awesome. Staff is amazing. The breakfast was really good. Price is reasonable.
Germany... funny argument I heard around 3.00 am between a guy who was preparing to get to bed and the other already half asleep. One said to the other to be considerate and keep the noise low to which the guy's reply suggested he books a room in the Hilton next time. My reaction, I guess was a compromise between laughing and trying to sleep 😉
United KingdomGreat location, very close to the castle and other important visiting points. The room was much bigger than expected for a hostel. 10 minute walk 'till the train station. Overall a nice experience.
