The room is very conveniently located in the town. Many services and options nearby. It is upstairs over the bar and although compact the room was pleasant. The girl who checked us in was friendly and helpful. There was some parking available

In the heart of Stirling
Convenient location to historic downtown and attractions. A paid public parking lot was about 1/3 mile away, which wasn’t too bad if you are traveling light. Lots of nearby coffee shops and cafes and pubs with music (if your timing is right). It’s in an old building so we wandered through multiple fire doors and hallways to get to our room. The staff is very nice. The room was a nice size and nicely furnished with chairs, coffee table, etc. The bed was a little hard, the pillows flat. The bathroom was nice but the shower drained slowly. I was lucky in my timing and enjoyed listening to local play folk music (every second Monday) at a pub just around the corner.

The location was fantastic, especially if you took a train to Stirling, like I did. It was only about two blocks away. Restaurants were all around, within easy walking distance of the castle. The bed was comfortable and clean. They provided excellent tea and little goodies as well. Everything was great except the bathtub had a lot of black soap scum and even some hair at the far end. Luckily, I keep Clorox wipes with me; I cleaned the tub when I noticed it, as it was after hours and no one was around.

Well located, but that's about it
Nice big room, but basic tea/coffee offering considering a better room than standard. Carpet in room hadn't been hoovered for some time. Toiletries also basic.

Nice spot
The room was good size and the location was great. Parking was a little complicated. And the many pathways was a bit confusing at first. But everyone was helpful and there's lots nearby for looking and eating.

Couples stay over for night out in Stirling
Lovely night staying over at Friars Wynd a beautiful little find entering through the bar entrance to our boutique room upstairs “Katrine” was very comfortable and the shower was amazing! The small sink was pretty powerful and we accidentally forested the tap over the sink bowl. Staff on check in gave the warmest welcome detailing everything we needed to know. 100% recommend this lovely place slap bang in the middle of Stirling. With easy access to the train station and shops.

We stayed in the back apartment….getting there was a bit isolated in the back alley. There is a car park right behind but if parking there you always have to top up the fee another car park is about 400 meters away and has 24 hr rate. The apartment is a bit dated and could use some repairs

Great stay & super staff.
Lovely old hotel with fantastic staff & food. Great breakfasts…get the full Scottish. Great Sunday roast dinner. Housekeeping a bit unreliable. No lift. Right in the heart of Stirling.
