I stayed for 3 nights while attending my sons university graduation. I loved the location of this property a quick walk away from Church of the Holyrood and Stirling Castle. The walk into the city center is 5 minutes downhill. The hotel is located in an old School house so I was fascinated by the building. There is no air conditioning in the rooms so it was a bit warm at nights but that was not unexpected. The meals in the restaurant were excellent.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location is ideal for visiting the Castle as it is only a short walk away. Parking is onsite but there is a charge. WiFi is free. The choice at breakfast is good and the rooms are comfortable.

Wonderful location. Made everything so easy. Our only complaint is that parking was additional cost. This didn't seem to be the case everywhere, and there was plenty of parking to be had. Honestly, I'd rather have the parking cost built into the cost of the room than feeling like I'm being nickel and dimed by having to pay extra for parking. But everything else was fantastic.

The positive - this is a very unique building in a very good and central location. The bad - pretty much everything else. Evening on a cool evening the room was extremely hot due to lack of airflow. We had a lot of spiders inside the room, half the light fixtures did not work, and the shower was only as high as my chin. We did not enjoy our stay especially for the price they are charging.

Great location and lovely looking building. Needs a major refurbishment as everywhere tired and dated. Clean but looks dirty as everything worn. My room had a connecting door to the next bedroom which offered little sound protection but luckily other guests were quiet at night.

The view from our room was amazing. The hotel had an old world vibe. The parking was excellent and next to the hotel with a side door and ramp for loading and unloading. The restaurant in the hotel had a very diverse menu and was handy and enjoyable. The hotel is close to Sterling Castle and in the middle of city Centre with shops, restaurants and historical buildings. The tub was not ideal and had no hand held shower. Very difficult to impossible for those with mobility issues. Otherwise, a great choice.

Good food. Helpful front desk. Good location to sites and restaurants. Better room ventilation needed with summer temps as room had 1 small window that opened with a 3-4 inch gap. Hotel did provide a small portable fan to use in the room.

This property is perfectly situated in downtown Stirling. The staff were exceptional. The price was a little higher than our budget but, because of reviews, we chose it. The bathroom could use a little updating. We stayed in a suite in which the bunkbed room looked bigger online than it really was and the bunkbeds were a bit uncomfortable. The full bed though was extremely comfortable. The breakfast provided was standard Scottish fare and pretty good. The staff though really were the winners overall - excellent all the way around.

Hotel is located perfectly, parking is good but extra charge, gym and pool ok but extra charge, decor and carpeting is shockingly in need of updating, dirty and scruffy, in key places such as restaurant you see just how bad it is making you think about maybe just how well maintained the kitchen may or may not be ? Room was not cleaned and do left without fresh towels, despite asking for towels at reception before the end of the day we were ignored and so left unable to shower the following morning, no air conditioning or fans and so very uncomfortable in the rooms but the beds and pillows were excellent

The Sterling Highland Inn is located in a beautiful historic building that used to be a school. Further, it is very well located close to restaurants and only a few minutes walk (uphill) from Sterling Castle. The hotel is desperately in need of a renovation. Carpets are heavily stained, especially in the restaurant, or sun, bleached, in the hallways, and there is peeling paint at the windowsills and peeling wallpaper. Our room was poorly serviced prior to where our arrival. On checking in,there was a half eaten candy bar on the floor and the toilet was visibly dirty. Further, there was very little toilet paper on the roll. Our biggest complaint, and partially my own fault, was that I made two reservations for two rooms under the nonrefundable option. Even though I called Expedia in advance, and Expedia called the hotel, the hotel chose to stick with their policy. I get that. Upon our arrival, they could’ve offered us hospitality by doing something like upgrading our rooms or offering a comp dinner, but instead, they chose to put us on a floor with no elevator service, so that we had to carry our bags up. The final straw came when I was asked for a late checkout of one hour for one room. They said it would be an additional 10 pounds. The manager even adamantly refused and said it was their policy and that their system didn’t allow it. I asked him to simply use his walkie-talkie to ask housekeeping to not knock and he adamantly refused.

I have no idea how this hotel was. The staff were not helpful. We had to switch travel dates and I asked to rebook our room. They would not reschedule. It was only one night we were booked. If you were looking for wonderful, supportive staff look elsewhere.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Feel menu could have been better and you should not be charged for more if have allergies. Central for castle and town
