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🙄

Advertised that the front desk opened at 12:00 pm We arrived at 1:30 pm and there was an iron gate across the entrance and no lights on The hotel sign was covered up and said only Bar We asked around an no one knew if they were still in business We eendd. Up going somewhere else and not sure if we will get our money back Emailed the property and got a snarky message back to say that they open at 2:00 pm plenty of time for a 3:00 pm check in They should not say that the desk opens at 12:00 on my confirmation if that is not true Really can’t recommend this place

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.

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.

We stayed for four nights over the early May bank holiday weekend. Friendly welcome on arrival, shown to our room, lovely boutique style hotel. All facilities we needed. Clean & tidy. Great breakfasts which were extra, but well worth the extra payment, great choice of food. We also ate in two evenings, the food & menu choice were very good. We would certainly stay again.

Friars Wynd hotel was an incredibly unique boutique hotel on my 3 week UK road trip. Within this area parking is very limited, but there was a car park within 100 feet of my door. There is free parking after 5 PM I think? Until about 8am? Which was completely acceptable. The room was absolutely adorable and I had a wonderful soak in their very large clean tub after driving several hours. Check in was very simple with Harry in the pub, which is connected to the hotel. She was such a delight. I highly suggest spending a few minutes talking with her about the area. She also recommended an amazing dinner when I asked for a budget friendly pub. No. 2 Baker street was great!! Best steak pie ever! I was able to just leave my hotel room key in the room when I checked out. I thought there was an issue with the toilet flushing and Harry immediately & professionally had maintenance ready to come. However, there was no issue. It was just my lack of experience with older systems. The manager called her right back and told me just to literally hold it for a couple more seconds. The toiletries were fantastic and I loved the big soft towels!! Wonderful assortment of coffee, tea, and biscuits. (Cookies for Americans) I loved the entrance that led to a hallway directly to my unique ground. I felt very safe at the hotel and in the area! Thank you Harry

Nice place to stay a couple of days

We stayed in the Bute room. It was comfortable (the mattress is a bit on the firm side but still comfortable) and fairly clean (a bit of dust and a bug in the bathroom). The only issue was the noise from glass bottles being emptied into the bins periodically. The last time was about 10:30pm which I think is a bit late, then again around 8am (Sunday morning). The breakfast was good enough, though you have to pick a specific time the night before. We would stay here 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.

Good value but check-in before unloading luggage!

Good value hotel for central Stirling. Delayed check in due to only one member of staff, busy with several guests AND serving food & drinks. Parking is only free overnight (pay from 08.45) and is not private, being a public car park. Access from car park with luggage down several flights of stairs to Reception (in cafe) disappointed most guests who then had to carry back upstairs to the bedrooms (especially the Americans asking for 'the elevator'!)

I thought the location was excellent and the staff was fab but the property itself leaves a lot to be desired for the cost. The sink was maybe 12 x 16 in if that. The shower is so tiny and the doors so inconvenient you can’t turn it on without actually being inside. The restaurant dumps all their glassware into the bin at 12:30 am. There is no parking close by so not easy for anyone disabled or injured. If you don’t mind bare bones, shabby decor, a rabbit warn of heavy doors, lots of stairs, no help with bags, a teeny tiny bathroom and no parking this place is for you.

The accommodation was a rabbit warren and probably a fire trap. The toilet seat was badly stained, the bed (which we only sat on) was very uncomfortable. We found alternative accommodation and moved to somewhere much nicer.
