Stirling is a great hostel to stay in. Friendly, helpful staff and so handy not only for the centre of the town but also for the castle and old section of the town.

Probably best to eat out as their is only 2 ovens to accommodate everybody, therefore, at meal times (evening especially) it can be a while before you start cooking. Before you know it - the night's gone.

The staff was great!! The game room was nice and all the kitchen and laundry facilites were great. Laundry machine was reasonably priced. Convenient (and beautiful) location to get to either Glasgow or Edinburgh by train or car (if you don't want to spend the night in those bigger cities).

great location and apart from the loo it was a great hostel. Met a very grumpy older man there who gave the staff a bit of a hard time , yet they took it in their stride.

Stirling hostel is situated in a lovely quiet part of the town and near the castle. It is about a 5 minute walk from the city centre. There is a very limited car parking facility with only 9 parking spaces in all. There are parking spaces on the street outside the hostel but this has to be paid for between 8:45am and 5:30pm, the hostel has no control over the charges for the street parking as it is the local council has control of this.

A note in the web guide - might be there already? but if so I missed it - regarding parking availability and times allowed for near street parking would be very useful. I was fortunate but would have liked to know situation before I arrived.

Walking distance to Stirling castle and also to town area. Recommended for staying! However, car park space may be of a problem if the hostel is at full occupancy.

Hostel is in an excellent position for looking around Stirling, it's a hard climb up to the hostel but well worth it even if the people driving around the one way system think they are taking part in the Monte Carlo Rally. On my way to Glasgow it rained but I found but I found an excellent elevenses stop in Kippen at the Deli, and lunch at the roadside pub where the West Highland Way crosses the A81 at Dumgoyne.

Excellent train and bus connections to all parts of Scotland. If you're considering a tour by public transport, do check out the various Rover packages available - often much cheaper than individual fares.
Great hostel with stunning views. Very friendly and helpful staff which creates a relaxed atmosphere.

Stirling Youth Hostel,a good address for traveling through Scotland. A modern house with an ancient front, run by a friendly and professional staff, in an interesting town which is surrounded by a pretty landscape, nothing else to say. You should make a visit!
