Our room had everything you might need. It was warm, although the radiator didn’t seem to be on! The swimming pool was excellent.

2/10 Poor

Bring your earplugs
If you are looking for rest, avoid this hotel on the weekends. The hotel hosts weddings and parties, and I was kept up all night because of the loud music and shouting from those smoking in the parking lot outside my window. Then, when the celebrations ended, the couple staying next to my room came back at 2:30 a.m. and continued their partying and music. Given that the room had thin connecting doors, I felt like I was in the same room. At one point, I could even hear the guy fart. This didn't end well because they got into a big argument and started yelling at each other, which lasted until 7:00 a.m. when she finally walked out of the room. I could not wait to get out of there!

It was a lovely stay, the hotel is a fabulous old school building, though I would of liked to if explored the library (locked) My only complaint is, it does need updating a bit. Had a double room, really clean, fresh bedding, towels, but just needs updating/modernising. Staff were fab, great help, breakfast each morning was lovely & a good range of hours. Will be returning

Overall disappointed
Nice friendly reception and check in. Rooms were dated and smelled musty but overall quite clean. Room service food was terrible, even the fries weren't cooked properly, no sauces or butter brought and server was visibly annoyed when I asked for them. Asked to sit by the fire at breakfast told i had to go into the other room where my view was a tray of dirty plates etc. Overall disappointed, especially with the price of the food and the standard.

Excellent location but slightly tired hotel
The hotel was perfectly situated in the middle of Stirling with parking included and the staff were friendly. The old building was impressive but the general decor and the rooms and bathrooms were tired. Small touches such as better toiletries, some comfort kits, robes etc would go some way to improving the bathroom and better lighting would brighten up the dark rooms. The spa was disappointing but it wasn't a key driver in our decision to stay here so not a big deal - I would advise against booking if the spa facilities are important to you. Breakfast was really good and plentiful but would benefit from having fresh coffee available rather than from a machine.

Short Stirling break
Disappointed when checking out to discover I had been charged for a meal my daughter and I never had! Receptionist apologised and hopefully the amount has now been recredited to my account. Communication prior to arrival was poor - I advised I would like to bring along my dog, but did not hear this had been agreed even despite calling to check before arrival. My call was never returned. However, on arrival, this had been arranged and all was OK.

Amazing Dog Friendly Stay
My first time back at The Stirling Highland Hotel in about 12 years and my first solo trip. This was also my first time staying overnight with my dog and I was met with nothing but friendliness by all the staff I encountered. Once I checked into my room I was met with a dog bed, food and water bowls, along with a packet of treats for my dog (which he loved!!) My first morning at breakfast, the staff member that was stood welcoming guests directed me over to the part of the lounge that is dog friendly and also very kindly offered to wait with my dog whilst I went to get my breakfast from the buffet. Throughout my stay I felt very looked after and welcomed. Staff both in passing and delivering room service were kind enough to stop and make a fuss of my dog (which he loved!) He was very much a looked after guest himself. I will definitely be staying at The Stirling Highland Hotel with my dog again and would 100% recommend it to other dog owners.

Beautiful hotel!
We had a lovely stay at the Stirling Highland hotel! It was an easy walk to the sights we wanted to see and very conveniently located to many shops and restaurants, as well as pubs! The rooms we had were very neat and tidy and the courtyard of the hotel was beautiful. The hotel also offered a delicious breakfast which we greatly enjoyed. We had a wonderful time!
