This Hotel is ideal for those coming to Stirling and wishing to see Stirling Castle and The Wallace Monument,both within a short distance of the hotel . The hotel its self is kept very clean , the staff are very friendly. And you get very reasonable rates for staying there . It’s well worth a visit.

The front front desk receptionist was rude . I booked through third party and he wouldn’t give me the correct phone number to cancel my reservation and get a reimbursement through Expedia . For a hotel I never stayed at. I would not like to stay there ever.

Great family break
Perfect for what we needed! Beds were a bit uncomfy but not too horrendous and we all got a good night's sleep! Lovely staff - especially Kate in the morning who serenaded another guest with Happy Birthday and was so cheerful and helpful to everyone. Would definitely recommend and we will stay again. (but maybe 2 rooms next time!)

Cold
Laundry truck arrived outside my window at 6-15 am with lots of metal cages being rumbled over the path. Room was clean but cold - heating on the maximum setting for hours to get it warm. Far too noisy to keep the unit on during the night.

Stopover
My son and I stayed 1night at the holiday Inn Express on our way to an open day at Sterling University the next day We arrived later than expected due to delays on the motorway but were welcomed by staff. Room was very clean and comfortable. We didn't make use of any of the facilities. Beds were very comfortable and we had an excellent nights sleep. Breakfast was self service but a good choice of cold and hot food. We would definitely stay here if we came his way again.

It is always nice to be greeted in a friendly way when you check in. Unfortunately this was not the case here. There is a £5 charge for parking but the pub opposite appears to be free. A £25 charge to have a dog in your room for 1 night is also ridiculous.

The breakfasts were dry and rubbery. Staff on the desk at check in were rude and the fact that parking was not included and added to the expense was a joke. Especially as the parking camera is not working properly and I've had to fight against two parking tickets despite paying the inflated parking costs. If staying in Stirling stay elsewhere.
