Hotel in the central position of Stirling. Spacious room. Working WiFi. Tea and coffee available in room. Spotless. Everything as advertised. Excellent value for money. Recommended.

Note that there are events in the hotel ballroom till late night (Fri/Sat). (However, even that it was a wrestling tournament we did not hear any excessive noise in the room.). Note also that elevator is small, slow and claustrophobic. We were also lucky with parking (I can imagine the parking lot is full.) Check carefully the direction to the parking lot (sent by hotel beforehand) as this is not easy to find. Anyway, we can recommend the acommodation due to the outstanding location, great feel based on long history of the hotel, and surprisingly good price.

The property is right in the centre of town and right near all of the pubs and restaurants. It’s a nice hotel, despite being an old building, and has a nice warm inviting atmosphere. The pricing is very reasonable also. This is our third stay over several years here and would stay at the property again.

The room was incredibly hot and there isn’t any air conditioning. The staff were kind to provide a fan, but we were unable to open the window and the towel rail in the bathroom is on full constantly so it generates a lot of heat. It cooled down at night but this might be a bit too much in the summer months compared to November when we attended.

Good location in the centre of stirling , bar reasonable priced for alcoholic drinks. Breakfast was nice, and there was plenty of choice.. bedroom was small.but but was comfortable and had everything u need.

No WiFi in rooms, and we also had no mobile signal. Staff wasn't very informative when we checked in and didn't tell us anything about what time breakfast was and where it was served. Didn't seem to restock your coffee, and milk had to ask for more at reception.. parking could possibly be a problem as small parking area we parked up and didn't use the car till the day we left.

Room was cosy the heating was on. It was clean and comfy. Staff were friendly. Quick easy check in and out.

Room though cosy was small. Breakfast was not as good as all our previous stays (all 5 of them). Could of done without other guests vomiting out side our door. We had been esrned there was some sort of whisky convention, thats a step too far

The Golden Lion is located in the centre of Stirling at the bottom of the road that leads up to the Castle in around a 10-15min walk. We arrived late evening and there was no parking available at the Hotel (this is clear when you book that it may not be) however a few minutes walk there is a parking area, which is free on the Sunday until 8:45 Monday (with 2 hours max booking available). the Hotel entrance leads up a few steps and the left door takes you into the bar area and the right door to the reception and entrance room. This is a large room with plenty of seats and quite. Check In was easy and the staff were all friendly for both check in and out as well as the night porter. The rooms were a good size and plenty of hanging space if you needed it. You are within a short walk to several bars and restaurants in the area however as we arrived late we also wanted to eat so the Hotel kitchen and many others were closed but luckily the Weatherspoons around the corner served until 12midnight. For the location, and access you have to the centre is very good and i would recommend a stay here if you are passing through.

The room looked onto a side building with a stairwell escape route, this is not an issue as for us we just wanted to rest one night but for others there is no view to see anything. The bathroom is OK, the toilet is located in the corner with a unit in front of you to leave little space, so be prepared to exercise to fit at times. No sockets at the bedside to charge devices and use at the same time.

Central location with easy walk from train station in Stirling. Even better was my room was ready earlier than expected and I was able to access it. Note that following day reception was happy to watch my luggage while I walked around the shopping area and local attractions. Not also if it is raining you can stay dry going via Thistles Mall near the bus terminal and exiting through Boots chemist… Hotel was overall great value and Cronies restaurant is excellent.. so onsite dining and drinks.

Slamming doors…from other rooms in area. Having a key lock that was ‘sticky’ and needed locked on exiting room (no latch lock - needed key). Also enjoyed hot bath but had difficulty with getting consistent hot water when using shower.

The hotel itself is great, with great personnel working on it and delicious food. People are respectful and kindness. Very well localized, close to the main touristic points.

No Wi-Fi in the rooms. Internet in the lobby is poor. Knowing the hotel receives a lot of guests from different coutries and it is one of the best places to stay in Stirling, it would be fantastic to have them offering free internet. This will be them as the one best options to stay in Stirling.

Location and fine restaurant food! Excellent staff. Let me leave my suitcase to explore the city when I arrived early.

Did not make up the beds daily or change Towels. I was in the lobby when they sprayed freshness scent… wonder if they vacuum? Some lobby chairs and 1st level public chairs visibly worn.

Room was clean, well presented and spacious. Full size bath was a bonus. On site parking was provided with clear instructions on how to get there. Hotel was better than expected overall, with a particularly well stocked bar. Bed was harder than my wife would like but perfect for me. As our last stay in Scotland, it was a great way to end our mini tour.

WiFi is only available in public, which could be seen as a cunning plan to get customers to send more at the bar (which we did). No plug for the bath, which was more of an inconvenience than a real problem. My wife 'MacGuyvered' the sink plug in to a working solution. We couldn't find a hair dryer, which again wasn't a major problem.

Location was very good. Very close to shops and restaurants also very close to train and bus stations. Breakfast was good and a good selection of food.

Hotel needs to be freshened up and chairs in dining room especially need to be cleaned and in the bar area, need to be refurbished.
