Disliked: Amenities
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.

Great stay. Just wish they had microwaves and refrigerators, being there’s no breakfast. Other than the stay I love the fact I don’t have see concierge every time I want to leave out, they have a side door to enter. Plus I enjoyed the available private smoke area.

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!

The room needs work. Apparently the cleaners had not prepared our room, so we got one that was larger. That's a plus. But the carpet was dirty and the furniture stained. The sheets were clean and the water hot. The staff were nice.
