I stayed in a individual room and not a dorm. This is like a college style dorm but the individual room was great. Quiet location, The location was great and you could walk to everything. Amazing parking directing out front (only 5 spaces) and amazing historic setting. Front desk staff wonderful good WiFi. Good hot water. Wonderful common area with nice kitchen area. Tiny little sink and weird pressure. Again what a great location. I would return again .

I had an amazing experience at Stirling youth hostel! It's a 5 minute walk from Stirling castle and old time jail, as well as from lots of shops and restaurants. Very conveniently located. The staff were the best part. Everybody was so helpful and personable, especially Hamish! So glad I chose to stay here!

You get what you pay for
The room was very basic and had a lot of condensation and peeling paint. The side lamp was broken. Cheap and cheerful (and warm)

Clean, simple, good for a family.
Comfortable for our family and conveniently located. The view from our room was also lovely, overlooking the city. It was very clean and perfect for us. I’d stay again!

OK place, but shower arrangements spoiled it a bit
Generally it was good. However, the water from the shower flowed into the room a bit (there was just a shower curtain and not a door), which was disconcerting. We didn't have towels, so we didn't have anything to mop it up. If it wasn't for this, we would have been very happy. The breakfast was nice.

No outlets for charging electronics for my bed and only had two lockers for a room with four beds. The private shower and bathroom is more annoying than it is convenient if the other people wake up earlier than you. Hotel staff was friendly though, and it was cheap.

Brother and I stayed for one night, booked on the morning and was available. Room was a good size, two single beds, two small cupboards, and a walk in wet room, with toilet. Kitchen was just down the hall, and was well stocked with with equipment. Staff was friendly. Felt safe. Surrounding area was lovely. Walking around the area was lovely, locals were very friendly. Great for the price and a comfy bed!!

Great location.
As you’d expect from a hostel our private twin room was simply furnished- 2 simple wooden beds, one chair and a locker cupboard. The bed was ok- don’t expect quality mattresses or bedding. The room was clean as were the common parts which were comfortable and well equipped. Our room was clean. We had our own large modern and clean shower plus wc and basin. The location is great. A very short walking distance from castle, jail Tolbooth and Holy Rude. Not much further walk to shops cafes and eateries. For the price it offered good value, the level of comfort you’d expect from simple hostel rooms and a great location with free parking.

Amazing hostel overall, great location, staff and amenities the only complaint would be it’s a very old building with very squeaky floors. You can hear the people above you and around you to the point it can keep you from sleeping because it’s just so loud.

Gorgeous building, great location
We booked a Twin room and were surprised to be given a private room for four with two bunk beds. Great location, but I don’t think there’s a lift. Gorgeous old building I’d always wanted to see in. Walking distance to the castle, town centre and all major attractions It is up a killer of a hill, if you’re walking

Good Location
This was the third hostel I had stayed in over the last 7 days and whilst location and cleanliness were great and the facilities more than adequate, my room was cold and Wi-Fi was patchy in the room to say the least. Read later that free WiFi available in public areas ... what???? Either the radiator in the room wasn't working or I wasn't able to figure it out and I don't think it was the latter. It stated that it was an ensuite bathroom however the shower was in the room entrance and if you were sharing the room there is no privacy. After 2 previous hostels, which were totally brilliant, found the Stirling Hostel disappointing and the most expensive. On a positive note the staff were helpful and friendly.

Gutes Hostel nahe dem Castle
Die Jugendherberge hat eine super Lage. Das Personal ist freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Zimmer sind ok. Mehr Parkplätze wären vorteilhaft, ggf. vorab reservieren. Das Frühstück ist gut, muss separat dazu gebucht werden. Es gibt auch eine self catering kitchen. Der Speisesaal könnte sauberer sein.
