The staff was great, the kind lady working was quick and happy to give me suggestions for the area and was very nice to chat with. She also kindly helped me with my luggage to the 3rd

The location of the hotel is perfect! It’s right in the city center with plenty of attractions and dining options in walking distance. Staff were friendly and serviced the room daily. There is an overnight parking lot just a few minute walk down the road.

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.

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.

The property is unique, the layout is something you have to learn, and lots of stairs and stair wells. The room and furniture were fine, but the bed was terrible, couldn't move with out it squeaking, and every uncomfortable. We had the worst sleep of our visit to see the UK. Had to get up early to put money into the parking meter, then the construction started next door. The location of the hotel is great, right on a cute street, had no issue finding a nice coffee and breakfast. So not all was bad, but as I write this a concrete saw has started cutting concrete🙄

Finding the check-in spot was confusing as it’s in the cafe. There is no typical front desk/ reception area. The staff was very helpful once we found her and she helped us on the phone prior to our arrival to find parking which is challenging. The guest house is a maze of hallways which is a bit confusing, but the room was clean, the bed comfortable and the bathroom large with lots of hot water! Within walking distance of the old town and castle.

The location was fantastic, especially if you took a train to Stirling, like I did. It was only about two blocks away. Restaurants were all around, within easy walking distance of the castle. The bed was comfortable and clean. They provided excellent tea and little goodies as well. Everything was great except the bathtub had a lot of black soap scum and even some hair at the far end. Luckily, I keep Clorox wipes with me; I cleaned the tub when I noticed it, as it was after hours and no one was around.

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.

Staff at check was unhelpful. We had trouble finding the room because there was no light in one of the hallways and stairs leading to our room. She did not tell us it was on the 3rd or 4th floor, she just said go to the end. I went down to her twice about the light and nothing had been done. Some nice gentlemen, not staff, helped us and two other women who were trying to find there room too. We were not told the front door to the bar closed early. We returned from dinner at 8 and the doors to the bar were locked. We had inadvertently left our key in the room and thought we could get another at reception. The emergency number had to be called and a nice women came shortly to let us in. The room itself is very nice but check in etc. was awful. Also be advised you may be climbing many winding stairs. We were on the top floor and beleive it was the 4th floor.

I had a delightful stay at Friars Wynd. Check-in is not open (or an option) until noon as reception is the bar. I was hoping to check my bag early but wonderfully the cleaning staff had been through and my room was ready for an early check in. There are no room numbers, just names. I stayed in Ness which overlooked the road out front. The room was nice with a super soft bed and an iron burn in the carpet floor. This reminded me of my past ironing snafus. There was some noise from the street as people walked. If you need absolute quiet, be warned, but it was not a problem for me. Private guest entrance to come and go as wanted. Walkable to pretty much everything! Would absolutely stay 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.

This hotel needs to update its website to give parking and access directions. Google maps gives directions to the middle of a block, behind the visible buildings. We had to park and walk to hotel just to ask how and where to park. The bat staff were lovely and very helpful. That night during our stay, the rains bucketed down and parts of the hotel started flooding. The bar and front desk person (the same person) had to leave and try to handle the flood until the owner came. The hotel is a warren of passages that is fairly confusing. Our room had chipped paint, a very uncomfortable bed, and zero ventilation. The beds need to be replaced and fans need to be in every room. The breakfast the next day was passable but we will not be back.

Regular worldwide travellers and this hotel bares little resemblance to the description, website information, reviews and ratings. Not a botique hotel but basic bar with rooms. Corridors and stairwells unkempt and old, room dark and tired with old with furniture and tiny sink in the small en-suite. Reception not staffed adequately although pleasant receptionist. No onsite parking as advertised, but public short stay available adjacent to hotel. Price increase for parking not up to date in hotel information. No breakfast available despite on website and mentioned in reviews. Room servicing didn’t include making the bed up and first day we had to ask for the room to be serviced. Noisy water from adjacent room showers. City view was scruffy back yard and public car park. Only good thing was central position in city. Extremely disappointed and would not stay again. Would not recommend.

Hotel lay out was confusing but loved the apartment style room. Great to have a kitchenette and a washing machine! A laundry horse would have been nice (instead of hanging things on the radiators) but it all worked out. Windows opened for cool air but no screens. No dining, front of hotel is just a bar, but plenty of options nearby. Great location for an easy walk up to Stirling Castle.

Great location

Great location in heart of Stirling. Couldn’t ask for better location. Car park directly behind it and after 5.30pm it’s free. Our room was spacious enough but unfortunately due to previous guests there were signs of wear in the room. Walls marked, glass on mirror smashed, iron burn on the carpet. Our room was cold but heating did work but it was a particularly cold weekend so we asked for a wee heater. Tap in bathroom when husband turned it on the pressure was huge and he got drenched luckily he had brought change of clothes. We told staff member about it when going out for dinner. Bedding had large rip in it. The bar/restaurant (restaurant no longer in use) has a lot of potential being in such a central location but there was no-one in it on a Saturday night other than 2 friends of reception staff member so we went elsewhere. Overall we enjoyed our overnight but we didn’t spend a great deal of time in the room and maybe some touch ups required.
