Excellent central location

Pros: Excellent location so near to the castle Free parking outside the hostel

Cons: Breakfast wasn't worth the £5.50 charge as no cooked breakfast merely toast, cereal and yoghurt plus tea or coffee which are free anyway.

We will definitely choose to stay here again if we come back one day.

Pros: The staff are very friendly, and the hostel has a kitchen where we can prepare coffee and breakfast. The location is perfect—the hostel itself is a sightseeing spot. The view from the window is stunning, as there is a colorful tree right outside. It is very close to Stirling Castle; we dropped off our car here, then walked to the castle and had a city walk. It is very good value for money.

Cons: The floor squeaks almost every step we take. We were worried about disturbing others, so we tiptoed with every step.

Lovely hostel

Pros: Twin room with ensuite. Great value for money. Only issue was a velux window that we were unable to open for a bit of fresh air and unable to pull down the blind so as to avoid being woke too early in the morning. In fairness, we didn't ask for any help from staff with this. Lovely lounge. Didn't use the kitchen so can't comment.
