We knew it was a hostel, but room was very tiny, bunk beds were very small too, you hit your head all the time, also sounded a lot when moving on the bed. On the other hand, the floor was cracking on every step you made. Positive feedback, it's a walkable distance from downtown and train station, keep in mind that is an uphill walk. Also, very close to historical places like Edimburgh Castle.

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!

Budget friendly basic place to stay

Staff was friendly and overall experience very nice. It was me with two teenagers and private room. Very basic, just as described. The shower was the only minus, because as it was attached to the roof, it was very difficult to wash downstairs. Good place to stay when viditing around Scotland. Would go again! Hotels.com says you can pay arriving but that is not the case. I got a message from hostel that i need to pay forward.

It was ok. Friendly well mannered staff. Good kitchen and dining area. shared a room with four men. There were only two lockers and the floor was unbearably creaky. I mean every step creaked really loudly. Totally spoiled the experience for me Room 211 sort it out! And a few hooks attached to the wall or even the bed would be so usefull.

Scotland Road Trip

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 .

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.
