Conveniently located for the castle and the centre of town. Bar and restaurant area are excellent although having Reception at the bar seems a little quirky. Useful after having the other half drive you there though. Room was spacious and clean. Parking had to be paid to a third party but the hotel staff were very helpful getting it done. No A/C. The lift only goes to the first floor so if you have mobility concerns, keep that in mind. We were on the second floor with heavy suitcases but the staff were more than happy to take them up and down the stairs for us.

Collesio Hotel is in a superb location for seeing many of Stirlings historic sights. Few minutes walk from exceptional restaurants and pubs. Parking is available, few free, mostly paid at an immediately adjacent lot. The Hotel is in an historic building and there is a lovely bar/lounge area as you walk in. That is also where checkin is! Few oddities: The "fridge" is tiny and will fit a couple of beverages cans. We had a spacious large room with comfortable bed and pillows. The tiles in the beautiful bathroom, however, were broken and presented a tripping and cutting hazard. Hopefully they are fixing those. Staff was helpful.

Really friendly staff and the bar is a great social space. Room was more than big enough, nice and clean and warm. (I travel a lot with work and know the importance of a good shower, and the shower was definitely good!) Location is fantastic being in the old town and just down the road from the castle. Would definitely come back

Because of hip and knee problems, it was wonderful to have helpful staff carry my case up the stairs into the hotel. I had a lovely first-floor room, clean, bright, with a spacious bathroom that had a separate tub from the walk-in shower. There was a good amount of space in the area that had a closet and a desk. The selection of teas in the room was excellent for me since I am not a coffee drinker, but they had organic coffee, too. From decorations to comfort and especially to the helpful staff, this was a great choice for me as a solo traveler.

Take care although this property is in a fabulous location, clean and has friendly staff.

The Colessio has great location (Just a short walk up to Stirling Castle), it has great staff, a nice bar and a reasonable breakfast. Like most places in Scotland, the breakfast could benefit from something other than sliced white bread. There are dark breads, full grain breads, full grain crackers (try breakfast in Norway) but they don't seem to come to Scottish hotels.. Nevertheless, in addition to the buffet there were cooked-to-order items such as Eggs Florentine and Eggs Benedict which were excellent. The room had all we need, it was at the back of the building with a view which was not memorable. I guess I need to learn that "King Deluxe" means "View of a Parking Lot." The room was baking in the sun, but fortunately the windows open so you can eventually cool down. (Blazing sun and hot temperatures are not on the list of things that travelers to Scotland usually write about). All in all, a positive experience.

The hotel is a beautiful historic building in the centre of Stirling, once an infirmary, bank and library, and the exterior still has that charm. The location is excellent, with Stirling Castle and the Old Town Jail a short walk uphill, and plenty of shops, bars and restaurants nearby. Parking is limited at the front but we paid £18 for 48 hours, and there’s extra parking behind the hotel. The public areas—bar, reception, lounge and breakfast room—are modern, stylish and welcoming, and staff were pleasant throughout. Unfortunately, our room (114) didn’t match the standard downstairs. The décor was very dated, the headboard had yellowed, the furniture was scratched, and the black sink was marked. There were only two usable plugs, no bedside sockets, no bedroom mirror, and the tiny fridge only held two complimentary tins of water. We also found hairs on the wall, toilet and bath. Breakfast was nice, though the stained blue cloth under the food made the area feel less hygienic. Overall, the hotel has huge potential thanks to its history, location and lovely communal spaces, but the rooms—especially ours—need refurbishment. I would stay again, but only in an upgraded room.
