The check in was excellent. Everything explained clearly. Room -radiator would not turn off so very warm slept with window open. Unable to turn off lights,at side of bed so unscrewed . That worked. Bed comfortable. Shower hose had black mold on it. Room was clean although looking a bit tired. Overall ok stay.

There is no reception. There is a person there between the check in times, sitting at a table in the empty and closed bar area. The lock to our room was reset after our first night of a 3-night stay and we had to hunt down someone to reset it. They were pleasant but we had to call a phone number to reach someone. Overall appearance of the hotel was shabby and needing some restoration. Location was good on a pedestrian street. Parking was public pay parking lot behind the hotel, 2 hour max per pay period during the day.

I really liked the hotel, my room was so cute. Luckily they installed a second set of windows on my bay window and it really helped reduce the noise from the walkway below. It was definitely right downtown and the party folks used the walkway late into the night. I missed that they did not have parking.. you have to pay for parking. Staff was helpful in choosing a good location (behind the hotel or down the street), but I’d prefer included parking. Staff is not there full time, but were helpful when there.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Great location a short walk from the train station and the pictures looked warm and inviting. I had texted a month prior to trip to ask about leaving our luggage at the desk so we could get to our day's activities but there was no answer. When we arrived, it looked closed and we wondered if the place had closed down. We learned from a cafe nearby that a convenience store would mind our luggage for the day. When we checked in later that day, we were given the room on the 4th floor, but someone was already in the room. We were reassigned to a room on another floor but the electronic lock's battery had failed. We were upgraded then to a suite. The halls and stairwells and rooms seemed tired and outdated. There were no staff staying onsite, the hotel lobby was deserted and the warm patio scene in the pictures no longer exists. It was unsettling.

This place has the potential to be a really cool spot with very poor execution. The location is great to get to a variety of things right in the heart of the town of Stirling, and the staff I dealt with were very nice but there isn’t someone on property 24/7. Check in is very strictly between 3-10pm and if you need something you have to call. The room was clean-ish. The shower was very broken down and weirdly set up. This hotel advertises its bar and has a photo showing a laundry set up, note that it does not have either of these amenities. Parking is a small paid lot behind, good luck getting a spot. It got the job done for our overnight stay, but definitely not somewhere I’d seek out again. Very disappointed for what I had seen advertised by Friars Wynd Hotel. Would not recommend.

I was surprised there was no reception or anyone to greet us. The entry looked like an abandoned bar. We tried to call a phone number from a sign on the window, but nobody answered. Because we arrived after 3pm, we wanted to go sightseeing before everything closed, so we took the risk of leaving our luggage unattended. Luckily, when we came back, we were able to call and talk to someone to check us in. The rooms were lovely & clean. Check out was contactless, so again, nobody to confirm our stay was at its end.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room and bath were very clean. The cleaning crew was very good in the room itself. the room carpet was fairly new but that is all that was good. to be very brief : Communication -Fail 4 calls and three emails with no response until hours after we finally got in. lobby- Fail -looks like a dim ghost town hallways walls and carpet- Fail and Yuck! icky Breakfast said included - Not . no facility for that. Price was cheap. we couldn't use the front entrance ... had to put a code in to open a beat up side door with no handle except a small knob. TV-fail does not turn on Security of bedroom door- Fail- won't lock Note: this is my first bad review. I usually only leave glowingly good reviews.

Fantastic. It was a little strange to learn that the front desk was mainly unattended, but that didn't end up being an issue at all. Wonderful, comfortable room. Quiet, except for that moment at around 2am when the entire country cheered Scotland's goal in the World Cup. The only thing that was mildly inconvenient was the parking situation. There is a parking lot behind the building, but it wasn't cheap. Parking at the bus station down the road was much more affordable, but a bit of a walk with luggage, etc.

The room we were in was quite large compared to other Eu and British hotel rooms. The bathroom was modern and large. We parked several blocks away at the train station, where we could pay a daily parking rate, rather than pay each 2 hours at the lot adjoining the building. The reception person was helpful, but reception is only open a couple hours per day, and there were no amenities other than a tea kettle in the room. The facilities met our needs, as there are restaurants, cafes and bakeries on the block. The hotel is in a great location for seeing the sites in Stirling.

Our stay at Friars Wynde was a treat x Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Room was warm and had everything you need .Being situated in the city centre makes it easy to access anything and everything you need Overnight was about a 5 minute walk from hotel but hotel has parking at back of hotel to use to take luggage through back entrance. Definitely going to stay there again really enjoyed our stay there ❤️

Lovely apartment , really comfy beds and nice cosy living area and kitchen, great location and friendly staff. The only reason it’s not 5 stars is because the windows are so thin and as I stayed on a weekend I barely slept because of the noise on the street - I recommend brining ear plugs!
