Friars Wynd Hotel

Fantastic. It was a little strange to learn that the front desk was mainly unattended, but that didn't end up being an issue at all. Wonderful, comfortable room. Quiet, except for that moment at around 2am when the entire country cheered Scotland's goal in the World Cup. The only thing that was mildly inconvenient was the parking situation. There is a parking lot behind the building, but it wasn't cheap. Parking at the bus station down the road was much more affordable, but a bit of a walk with luggage, etc.

Excellent location - right in the middle of Stirling with a car park just behind the hotel which was very convenient. Plenty of nice restaurants nearby to choose from and a short walk uphill to the castle.

We enjoyed our stay ! Initially I was a bit dubious from outside it looked a bit tired but room was lovely and had everything we needed for a short stay , there was a car park round the back which was a surprise definitely recommend

The location was great! We could easily walk to the castle and other attractions within the city. We did have a hard time finding the low cost parking advertised. However, there is a parking lot directly behind the hotel that is free after 5:30 or 6 pm until 8:30 am. Download the RingGo app if you don’t already have it. The hotel itself is on a pedestrian-only street. We knew breakfast was not included. However, most places in town did not open until 9 or 10 am. which made it difficult as we are early risers. Coffee and tea is provided in the rooms. The room itself was clean and comfortable, but the grounds around could have been better kept. We barely saw the staff and the bar/cafe/restaurant downstairs was never open.
