    I had a fantastic 4 night stay. My room 220 had 3 large windows providing a scenic view over parts of Stirling. The room was adequately furnished. The only downside was that you can not drink the water from the basin tip in the room - old pipes is the issue. However you can get drinkable water in the kitchen downstairs. The staff were friendly and helpful. The light breakfast was all I needed - and an affordable price. The kitchen is well equipped - and plenty of eateries nearby. The car park is small - not a big issue as there was street parking available after about 5 or 5.30pm.

    So near to the castle ! Perfect place to have a free car park (but limited number of places !) and visit Stirling on foot.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Location was not too bad close to the town centre and just a few minutes walk to Stirling Castle Our room was up maybe four flights of stairs and no kettle in the room meant a long walk up and down to the kitchen

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    All nice well organised people seemed quiet and friendly - great location

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Location is good, close proximity to the few places of attractions we wanted to visit. Clean basic room and the common kitchen. As expected of a student living hostel. The mattress is too thin so it's not very comfortable.

    Location The soundproofing is very poor. A boy-group upstair made a big noise till 2 am and no improvement after reminding, we barely slept for the entire night. And btw, a bit smelly in the room. Very bad experience

    Good location in Stirling- up a hill. Nice room and WiFi in rooms Not much car parking space but car parking spaces nearby which you would have to pay for during the day but free at night.
