The hotel room had all the essentials we needed. There was significant wear on the carpet in our room but all in all, it was a comfortable stay. The hotel is very well located for the city centre and the castle etc.

Great property location close to everything and fairly clean with a brand new shower. The staff is excellent and service was amazing. Only downfall would be the musty smell in the room. But overall a great stay.

The staff are lovely, the location is great and the parking is easy and reasonably priced. The hotel itself needs a lot of money spent on it. It’s 3* at best. In our room the paint on the ceiling was flaking off, there’s a large greasy mark on the wall and the carpet was completely threadbare in some areas.

The biggest problem with this property was the check-in procedure. You had to snag a parking place in the front and then walk up at least 20 steps to check in. Then walk back down. Either get your luggage out and somehow get it up the steps or leave it in your car and pay $10 a day to park it in their parking lot out back with no easy way into the hotel.

Very modern and nicely equipped. The poor staff at breakfast were horribly understaffed, at least today. One person on shift to do everything! Not their fault but them having to bus, host, take orders, deliver orders and replenish buffet food compromises service.

Great location, ideal for visiting both the castle and the town centre. Our room had a brand new refurbished bathroom that was fantastic, with a huge bath tub and separate shower but the room itself definitely needed new furniture as all the surfaces were worn and it could all do with a lick of paint. The bed was VERY hard (but I prefer them this way) and we had one window without curtains so it got bright early. We had a 'corner' room and it was very quiet throughout the night. With a few small touches this could be the most excellent hotel though!

Collesio location was perfect for our event we were attending nearby. Full Breakfast was tasty, Reception/Bar and waiting staff all polite, friendly and helpful. Bedroom was clean and comfortable, fortunately fan provided as was very warm. The only down side of our bedroom was that it was looking a bit tired with hole in the carpet and bed base had cosmetic damage. Would stay again though.

Nice hotel in Sterling

This is not a “resort” level hotel but it is a very nice hotel for travelers for a one or two night stay. It is close to town so all of the local restaurants, pubs and coffee shops are easily walkable as is the castle and backside walk. There is parking (extra fee). I recommend.

We had a great stay at Hotel Colessio, the staff was friendly, and it’s in a great location to see Stirling Castle. Easily walkable from the hotel. Breakfast was good, had smoked salmon both days. I’ve seen people complain about the beds. Ours was firmer than we’re used to, but still comfortable enough for a good nights rest. I might be concerned about the shower accessibility if I was an older person. It’s a deep bathtub which was great but a little slippery and a large step over the edge. Parking was about around 18 pounds for 48 hours. Would stay again if I was coming to the area.

My bath tub wouldn’t drain and the window wouldn’t close. No big deal just sucked in the wee early morning to not shower. There was a moment where exiting a man over the entrance had his foot out the window cutting his toe nails. Gross but not the hotels fault. Bathroom was very large which I appreciated after traveling all day. Bed was comfortable and clean.

A bit odd, having to pay for parking, even though the car park is obviously theirs. Then having to book in at the bar was a bit weird. Room at some point had obviously been quite plush, good carpet and cutains, bathroom had nice fixtures and fittings, but was all a bit tired. Bed and pillows were comfy, room was very warm, and there seemed to be a building site next door that started at 7am. Most importantly, despite having a very nice looking restaurant, and an online menu they do not serve dinner (evening meal) at all, and had the gall to look surprised when I told them there was a menu on line.
