United KingdomPillows were actually substantial and lovely! Mattress was fine (pretty good for a hostel, not something you’d want for your bed at home) I only stayed one night and did not use any other areas of the hostel other than my room to sleep in. Staff were friendly, room was tidy. No complaints!

United KingdomWe 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.

United States of AmericaThe 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.
