Christine
United States of America
United States of AmericaLocation was great, it's really the only option in town and it is in the main part of town, as needed. It's an older-style building which was interesting to stay in. Rooms were spacious and the beds were very comfortable (probably some of the most comfortable hostle beds I have stayed in). Shower and toilet facilities were in the room, which was a bit loud but always nice to not have to leave the room.

CanadaI liked the location, the hostel was close to the most important tourist attractions in Stirling. The big dining room was accessible at all times which was very comfortable.

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.

RomaniaLocation near Stirling Castle was best thing ever. LOVELY area and central to everything. Kitchen was very clean.

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.

FranceIt's an awesome place to stay, a great location for seeing all tourist attractions that are pretty close by. I liked that I could park my car up and go see the sights and then check in later.

United KingdomVery close to the centre of the town. Lovely old building that’s been updated on the inside. Big room and probably the best shower I’ve ever had! The girl who helped us check in was so nice and helpful and kindly went out of her way to fold clean towels for us - very polite and definitely an asset to the hostel!!
