Good location. Nice hotel. Peaceful relaxing break. Close to everything unless you can't do hills. Plenty stops on the way up for breaks though.

Amazing Dog Friendly Stay
My first time back at The Stirling Highland Hotel in about 12 years and my first solo trip. This was also my first time staying overnight with my dog and I was met with nothing but friendliness by all the staff I encountered. Once I checked into my room I was met with a dog bed, food and water bowls, along with a packet of treats for my dog (which he loved!!) My first morning at breakfast, the staff member that was stood welcoming guests directed me over to the part of the lounge that is dog friendly and also very kindly offered to wait with my dog whilst I went to get my breakfast from the buffet. Throughout my stay I felt very looked after and welcomed. Staff both in passing and delivering room service were kind enough to stop and make a fuss of my dog (which he loved!) He was very much a looked after guest himself. I will definitely be staying at The Stirling Highland Hotel with my dog again and would 100% recommend it to other dog owners.

We really liked this place. The staff were professional and courteous. There was a small lap pool for swimming which was great. It is a perfect location for checking out the Sterling Castle. Her only complaint is that they have a machine dispensing coffee for breakfast the breakfast otherwise was delicious with haggis offered as well as other things like eggs and sauce. I would definitely stay here again, but I hope they make real coffee in the future!

Beautiful hotel!
We had a lovely stay at the Stirling Highland hotel! It was an easy walk to the sights we wanted to see and very conveniently located to many shops and restaurants, as well as pubs! The rooms we had were very neat and tidy and the courtyard of the hotel was beautiful. The hotel also offered a delicious breakfast which we greatly enjoyed. We had a wonderful time!

Nice hotel in a good position. Lovely staff. Room was fine. Good value for money. Unfortunately the lift was out of order. The dinner menu was sufficient but a bit underwhelming for a hotel of this calibre.

Not as good as it used to be!
Radiator in room not working, hotel full so couldn’t change room. Window also didn’t fully close so draughty. Contacted receptionist, and after maintenance man couldn’t fix radiator was given a portable electric heater which helped. Room was also a little shabby with chopped pain on radiator and wallpaper around it a little loose. Paint work on stairs also needed some attention. Not as nice for a 4 star property as it used to be. However, breakfast and leisure facilities excellent. Parking and location also good.

Not a modern hotel and the only heating in the room was a portable heater. We were told the main heating system was on a timer, but that did not happen. Staff was very friendly. The dining area was very busy with bus tours. Great location close to Castle.
