Pros:

The location was good. It was a good value for a one night stay.

Cons:

The hotel no longer has a restaurant. When we asked the reception about eating places near by they were pointedly unhelpful. If their facility can't offer breakfast they should advise guests where they can go.
The general areas of the building need a spruce up. They are dark, worn , uninviting especially the rear entrance from the car park.
The room would be improved by adding bedside tables on each side and a fan as the rooms were stuffy.

HOSTEL NOT HOTEL
Pros:

Overnight stay with mother and was horrible.
No bar, no restaurant, no 24hr security, no lights in the staircases which are over 3 floors, entrance only through a side door as the place is closed down, only staff there is someone who arrives after 2pm gives you your key then leaves.
Stairs are worn and carpet ripped,
Showerhead was filthy
Extractor fan was disgusting
Dust covered every surface in the room and appliances.
No outdoor seating area as it is an overgrown weed infested bit of spare ground with 2 plastic tables and 4 chairs scattered across it.
Should be classed as a HOSTEL NOT A HOTEL

Communication was very bad, door codes don’t work and room is so so. Location is the only perk
Pros:

Location was right in the heart of town

Cons:

There is never anyone on-site and they don’t answer the emergency phone numbers provided. After hours door code did not work. There was absolutely
no light switch to turn the lights off making it very uncomfortable to sleep.

Good option for a short stay in Stirling.
Pros:

The location is very convenient, making it a good base for a quick stopover. It served its purpose well for an overnight stay and allowed us to easily explore the area.

Cons:

However, there were a few downsides. The kitchen was very poorly equipped, with hardly any utensils, which made it impractical to use. Additionally, the heating was set too high, making the space uncomfortably warm at times.

Zentral gelegene Unterkunft mit schönen Zimmer und gemütlichem Bett
Pros:

Die zentrale Lage der Unterkunft ist gut. Man ist in 10 Minuten am Castle. Direkt neben an ist ein Pub bei dem man ausgezeichnet essen kann.

Cons:

Nicht gefallen kann ich nicht wirklich sagen. Wir hatten zwar ein Zimmer im 3. OG aber wenn man gut zu Fuß ist und Kraft hat bezüglich der Koffer ist es ok
