The Stirling Highland Hotel is clean, and nearby to restaurants, highly-rated excursions, and historical destinations. Parking is available to guests and there are plenty of spaces (just remember to follow the prompts for registration of your vehicle per the hotel). A spa, restaurant, and bar are all available to guests on the property. I would highly recommend the Stirling Highland Hotel. We would stay again!

The history of the building is fascinating and the location was unbeatable. Food was pretty good a little cold at breakfast but tasty Friendly staff!

10/10

We loved the proximity to places in Stirling and the proximity for day trips. The only reason I gave a 4 for cleanliness was because some shifts of housekeeping are a bit lazy and chose to refold and hang used towels rather than replace them, coffee wasn't always replenished, and sheets after a week were not changed unless we specifically asked. We stayed two weeks. I would absolutely stay here again, I just know to stay on top of housekeeping. They have a restaurant and bar at the hotel which was great, and there were others within walking distance. Nice leisure space with pool and sauna. Front desk staff very friendly and helpful.

The hotel is well situated near the castle. Staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are a little dated, but fine. The breakfast was very poor.

Great starting place after an overnight flight ( close to Edinburgh) . Bathroom needs to be more closely monitored for mold.
