Tired and dated hotel with rooms needing an upgrade especially the bathrooms. Food was adequate but restaurants did have menu options missing each night which is very poor. In a great location and good parking and can't fault the staff

The exterior of the property is beautiful and the staff are very helpful and polite. Unfortunately the stay was let down by old room interiors, combined with dirty appliances (blowdryer was covered in hair) and broken appliances (iron fell apart when used. Sadly wouldn’t recommend compared to other hotels of the same calibre.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
We never used the Scholars Restaurant because it was noisy and loud with loud music. The room was fine but had no AC and no ventilation except a single window that would open only 6 inches. The location was convenient and on-site parking was excellent. Staff were helpful. Guests were sometime noisy a bit too late at night.

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!

This hotel is a former school, and it's an architectural treat to see and stay in. Plenty of free parking on the hotel grounds, even in the center of Stirling. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Very convenient to everything in Stirling, which is a tourist destination without a tourist feel (no tweed/tartan shops, etc.--just a regular Scottish town with a modest castle on the top of the hill).
