Lovely apartment , really comfy beds and nice cosy living area and kitchen, great location and friendly staff. The only reason it’s not 5 stars is because the windows are so thin and as I stayed on a weekend I barely slept because of the noise on the street - I recommend brining ear plugs!

Per all available information, check-in starts at 3 pm. We arrived at 3:30 pm and there was no one. We weren't sure what to do because there was just a phone number taped to the glass and we didn't have international calling. Luckily, a few minutes later a very nice young woman arrived to open the door and check us in. We stayed in the Nevis room, and the key we were given to open the front door didn't work. Luckily, it worked on the back door. I have no idea what we would have done if it hadn't, given the whole inability to call for help situation. The remote to the TV didn't work even with new batteries, but you could turn it on manually. Management should consider how international guests can get in touch with them if the guests don't have the ability to use their phones.

The room needs work. Apparently the cleaners had not prepared our room, so we got one that was larger. That's a plus. But the carpet was dirty and the furniture stained. The sheets were clean and the water hot. The staff were nice.

The lady at the check-in desk was really lovely and answered any queries we had. The room was a good size, however there was a bit of damage to the walls, marks on the tv, one of the plug sockets didn’t work at the bedside and the toilet door was almost like it was hanging off the rails which was a bit strange. Unfortunately our toilet stopped working when on the first day and we had noticed that the water from the tap was cloudy which suggested it had been off. The lady at the front desk did give us a second room key to change rooms, but the toilet started working again after flushing the second room toilet (which was right next to the first room).

Tired room...showing clear signs of wear and tear and neglect..Carpet was heavily stained as was parys of the walls in the room.Bed frame was worn and dirty..curtains hung shabbily onto curtain rail, held on by clothes pegs in areas and not attatched to rail in other parts. Decent sized bathroom with readily available hot water.No TV channels worked whatsoever..rendered useless.Good location..Overall very poor value for the money.

Everything you need for a overnight in Stirling.

Friars Wynd Hotel had everything you need for an overnight in the city. It has a great location and easy to find. It was nice to be able to have a drink in the bar before heading out but it was completely empty & it is a shame that the bistro/restaurant part of the business doesn't appear to be in use. Especially considering how busy the pubs, restaurants and streets around the hotel was. The bed was comfy and the room we had was a good enough size with only two downsides. One is the bathroom, it is functional but very small - especially the shower and the hallway light remains on all night so the light comes in under the room door directly towards the bed. We would definitely consider staying here again though when coming back to Stirling.

Finding the check-in spot was confusing as it’s in the cafe. There is no typical front desk/ reception area. The staff was very helpful once we found her and she helped us on the phone prior to our arrival to find parking which is challenging. The guest house is a maze of hallways which is a bit confusing, but the room was clean, the bed comfortable and the bathroom large with lots of hot water! Within walking distance of the old town and castle.

Hotel lay out was confusing but loved the apartment style room. Great to have a kitchenette and a washing machine! A laundry horse would have been nice (instead of hanging things on the radiators) but it all worked out. Windows opened for cool air but no screens. No dining, front of hotel is just a bar, but plenty of options nearby. Great location for an easy walk up to Stirling Castle.
