Außen hui, innen naja
Pros:

Das Zweibettzimmer war groß und lag ruhig ganz am Ende des langen Ganges. Die Betten waren bequem. Einige Möbel waren erneuert. Beim Frühstück wurde nachgelegt.

Cons:

Die fehlende Sauberkeit besonders im Bad. Ich habe mich geekelt. Auf dem Fußboden lagen mehrere schwarze lange Haare. Der Toilettensitz war locker. Den Rest geben die Fotos wieder.
Gammelige Fenster.
Außerdem sollte man noch diverse Sachen gegen Gebühr dazubuchen: Parkplatz, Pool, Fitnessraum, Zimmer-Upgrades. Man kommt sich vor wie eine Kuh, die gemolken werden soll.

A nicely preserved hotel which keeps its links to a school in a historical way.
Pros:

Our room was ready well before we expected which allowed us more time to look around Stirling.
Our room was quiet and had a good view.

Cons:

Nothing at all.

lovely and relaxing
Pros:

the hotel was lovely and comfortable, location is in walking distance from the castle. lots of places to eat and drink near by.

Cons:

that the pool access was an additional cost. that parking was also an additional cost. the city has very noisy seagulls that squawk from sunrise, so you cant sleep with the windows open in summer, perhaps a pest control hawk would move these away.
