Stirling Youth Hostel

We had a great time in this hostel. Located very close to the Castel and City Centre, near several points of interests and Restaurants/Pubs, Bars. Car Park is available. We booked an en-suite room, with shower and toilet, simple but perfect for the night. Only issue was we were woken up in the very early morning by a fire alarm, which likely was a false one. Very competitive price also. Strongly recommended.

We booked a 2 night stay at the Stirling Youth Hostel. This was our third hostel during our Scotland vacation. We had a private double room with 2 single beds and private toilet and shower. It was very basic as expected. Unfortunately during the night a water leak occurred. I didn't realize this until I went to the bathroom around 5 a.m. and my socks walked in soaking wet carpet. I will attach photos to this review. We collected our belongings immediately and found an employee once breakfast was opened. We showed them pictures of our room and told them we needed to vacate our room and to please refund us for the 2 nights we had booked. We were told they had no authority to help us so we asked for the managers contact information so we could contact him directly. It's been 2 weeks since this incident and we have repeatdly tried to contact him and the Scottish Hostel Group at their contact numbers but no one has bothered to answer us or contact us yet. ALSO the water in the room in not for drinking.

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.

Stayed as a family with my 11 year old daughter. We were comfortable and loved the location, proximity to the old jail and castle, and the character and history of the hostel.

I loved this hostel, it’s near the castle is stirling and just 1 minute from the church of the holy rude which is very beautiful and offers an extraordinary view of the city, the Wallace monument and mountains. I really recommend this hostel. The team is great and I loved the kitchen !
