The hostel is very well located, just about a 10-minute walk from the train station and only a few minutes from the castle and historic center. We had a private room for three with its own bathroom — clean, bright, comfortable, and well equipped. The only downside was the wooden floor that creaked all the time. We highly recommend it for a short stay in Stirling. We didn’t use the kitchen, but it looked very clean and well equipped.

I had an amazing experience at Stirling youth hostel! It's a 5 minute walk from Stirling castle and old time jail, as well as from lots of shops and restaurants. Very conveniently located. The staff were the best part. Everybody was so helpful and personable, especially Hamish! So glad I chose to stay here!
