OK hotel

OK hotel. Great location. A bit worn out and very easy to hear the other guests in the corridor.

Everything you need for a overnight in Stirling.

Friars Wynd Hotel had everything you need for an overnight in the city. It has a great location and easy to find. It was nice to be able to have a drink in the bar before heading out but it was completely empty & it is a shame that the bistro/restaurant part of the business doesn't appear to be in use. Especially considering how busy the pubs, restaurants and streets around the hotel was. The bed was comfy and the room we had was a good enough size with only two downsides. One is the bathroom, it is functional but very small - especially the shower and the hallway light remains on all night so the light comes in under the room door directly towards the bed. We would definitely consider staying here again though when coming back to Stirling.

2/10 Poor

We’re stuck in a room sick. I can’t get in touch with management. It’s contactless here and that’s not ok. We’re not young anymore and chose this hotel because of the offerings. Now we’re stuck in the back of the hotel with no food and we’re like I said sick and weak. They don’t provide any amenities at all. No food, no ice etc. hotels.com needs to make them remove the listing as it’s false advertising. Not fair to us. They know we’re sick and offer. Nothing. If I owned this hotel I would go and get my customers something to eat. Sounds selfish to us.

Ver difficult to get luggage into hotel. They had no place to unload. The reception was the bar. And the room really wasn’t clean.

Great location, and overall good property. Dining on site was not very accessible, and parking was tough. But overall a good one night stay visit.

Couples stay over for night out in Stirling

Lovely night staying over at Friars Wynd a beautiful little find entering through the bar entrance to our boutique room upstairs “Katrine” was very comfortable and the shower was amazing! The small sink was pretty powerful and we accidentally forested the tap over the sink bowl. Staff on check in gave the warmest welcome detailing everything we needed to know. 100% recommend this lovely place slap bang in the middle of Stirling. With easy access to the train station and shops.

Great stay & super staff.

Lovely old hotel with fantastic staff & food. Great breakfasts…get the full Scottish. Great Sunday roast dinner. Housekeeping a bit unreliable. No lift. Right in the heart of Stirling.

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed for four nights over the early May bank holiday weekend. Friendly welcome on arrival, shown to our room, lovely boutique style hotel. All facilities we needed. Clean & tidy. Great breakfasts which were extra, but well worth the extra payment, great choice of food. We also ate in two evenings, the food & menu choice were very good. We would certainly stay again.

Nice place to stay a couple of days

We stayed in the Bute room. It was comfortable (the mattress is a bit on the firm side but still comfortable) and fairly clean (a bit of dust and a bug in the bathroom). The only issue was the noise from glass bottles being emptied into the bins periodically. The last time was about 10:30pm which I think is a bit late, then again around 8am (Sunday morning). The breakfast was good enough, though you have to pick a specific time the night before. We would stay here again.

Property is great, the girl at the bar stayed around for an extra half hour until we arrived via train. She was friendly and explained everything well. My only concern was this was listed as a hotel with a 24/7 front desk which wasn’t true at all. The bar closes and you get a key to the side door to get in. We unfortunately made the bartender stay late after closing because we had no idea there would be no one there if we arrived late in the evening. No issues with the hotel or staff, just with the listing being inaccurate.

Good value but check-in before unloading luggage!

Good value hotel for central Stirling. Delayed check in due to only one member of staff, busy with several guests AND serving food & drinks. Parking is only free overnight (pay from 08.45) and is not private, being a public car park. Access from car park with luggage down several flights of stairs to Reception (in cafe) disappointed most guests who then had to carry back upstairs to the bedrooms (especially the Americans asking for 'the elevator'!)
Graham, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

I thought the location was excellent and the staff was fab but the property itself leaves a lot to be desired for the cost. The sink was maybe 12 x 16 in if that. The shower is so tiny and the doors so inconvenient you can’t turn it on without actually being inside. The restaurant dumps all their glassware into the bin at 12:30 am. There is no parking close by so not easy for anyone disabled or injured. If you don’t mind bare bones, shabby decor, a rabbit warn of heavy doors, lots of stairs, no help with bags, a teeny tiny bathroom and no parking this place is for you.

Parking was full until after 4:30 PM/Sunday free/pay rest of time. No staff on Sunday. May have been a glitch? A staff person called me to ask what time I was checking in to meet me to give me a key. Many restaurants nearby.

Great night’s sleep.

The beds were by far the best part of this stay. They were comfortable & the location was very quiet. It was a great night’s sleep. The check in was a little confusing, from the car park you have to wind your way through a maze of a building to find yourself in the bar that also serves as the check-in. The furniture & carpet was worn, but clean. No hair dryer or shampoo provided. We also were on the end of the building & were out of range of the internet & were only able to access it from the bar.
