The location of the Hostel is perfect for exploring Stirling. There is some parking, but you need to check in early because the spaces do go. The parking on street is free at night, but not during the day. The room was comfortable and as I had the last room at the end of the hall, it was very quiet. Good kitchen facilities for self catering, but meals are served at a reasonable price. Although the dining room is large, there were no empty tables when I had breakfast, so ate in my room.

The private double rooms are on the top floor and there isn't a lift. And with Hostels, the check-in time is strictly after 4pm.

Amazing location just several steps from both center and Castle. The lady at the reception was very helpful (Wendy). The room was basic ,but it was expected considering the price

The most critical issue: the room was on the top floor with a skylight that couldn’t be opened, there was a technical smell and very hard air with lack of oxigene in the room and it was impossible to get fresh air or ventilate. I couldn’t sleep well and kept waking up from a lack of air. Minor details: outlets and bedside table were located only near one of beds, the ventilation was noisy, and the walls had very high sound permeability. There was only one hanger and one chair.

Impressive building in an impressive location. Some parking in front, info center next door, castle a street away. I forgot I booked a room for 2, private shower and toilet. Super surprised myself. For me, personally, one of the best beds I have slept in. Really hard mattress, but I prefer it that way. USB charging station by the bed, so no electric plug for UK electricity needed. Guy at reception really helpful.

For an overnight stay I have nothing to fuss about. Maybe shower. Fixed shower head on a fixed hight. Smaller person can get head wet easily.

We stayed in two double rooms in the attic. Very friendly staff who met us with several requests. Pleasant, clean rooms, the kitchen is well equipped, the living room is spacious. There is also an outdoor grassy part of the yard. The building itself and its surroundings radiate history. The location is very close to the center, but it is on a hill, so expect a climb.

Travelers with walking problems or lots of luggage should take into account that the building does not have an elevator, and there is some climbing to get to the attic rooms.

Room - OK, it was good to have a private room available Bed - all right Shower - water was hot - acceptable Staff - very helpful at entry desk Safety - important factor - building seemed well staffed and safe Location - right in the middle of cultural attractions to walk to- the best part of the stay

Thin walls - enabled late night noise to come through Detergent or perhaps insecticide - produced itchiness Room price - close to what would be charged at a guest house, so it seemed high Wifi - really did not work well

Twin room. Very clean, more spacious than I expected and quite bright and airy. Sink in the main area with separate shower and loo on either side. Some storage provided (but not hanging space - I used the shower curtain rail for that). Handy bedside table & lamp and power socket, plus one chair. Bed was comfy although I did use both pillows (one per bed provided). Didn’t use any communal area so cannot comment on those. Parked free using onstreet parking immediate outside the hostel grounds.

Nothing

As far as a hostel goes, the Stirling Youth Hostel is the right place to crash at a reasonable price. You don't get anything fancy with your room but the beds were beyond comfortable and the showers had the most amazing pressure and plenty of hot water. We only stayed for one night on our travels through Stirling and did not take advantage of their breakfast options. The location is PERFECT for those without a car because everything is in walking distance.

Ok, I don't want to spoil anything 😂 At first it was a bit shocking, but it quickly turned into fun! I loved this place! Crazy, but loved it! If you look at it as a youth hostel (as you should), it was a very nice and also well secured place. We could even leave our baggage there until we were done looking around in the center. The kitchen is well equipped, the staff was very nice and helpful.

The loud party next doors! Also, a big problem was that the wifi was not avaliable from the room that we stayed in. And finally, I think it would be nice to have two blankets instead of one, because I was staying there with my mother, so I slept on the floor, and it was pretty cold at night. I don't really want to point out other things, since it is a youth hostel, naturally it is not aiming to provide wellness features 😂

Great location. Parking on premises. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Not very sound proof. The name Stirling Youth hostel is not found on google maps. It was under Hostelling Scotland. Perhaps give better directions I.e. inform guests that Spittle street becomes St John’s street and not to turn into the road before the hostel that is also St John’s street. A bit more pricy than expected being a youth hostel.

Great location very close to Stirling Castle, comfortable room and guest lounge. Great staff and friendly other guests.

There was a fault with the ensuite toilet which meant there was a rushing water sound for 4 seconds every 22 seconds - that’s a lot of occurrences during the night. Unfortunately I didn’t notice it before the staff finished work at 11pm and didn’t think it was worth calling the emergency number so just went with it. More an irritation than a big deal.
