I had a delightful stay at this boutique hotel. The staff truly made me feel at home with their warm hospitality, while the location was perfect for exploring the area. I really enjoyed the breakfast, but the room could have been better as it was smaller than expected and the bed was a bit uncomfortable. Overall, the experience was lovely and I would consider returning.

The hotel has a charming central location that is surprisingly quiet, making it great for getting around while still enjoying some peace. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was delicious, although it took a bit of time to arrive. However, the apartment we booked felt neglected with several small maintenance issues, and it was a shame that we had to wait so long for some basic amenities to be resolved.

I had a quirky yet enjoyable stay at this hotel in Stirling. The location is spot on, with shops and restaurants nearby. The staff were mostly welcoming and provided some thoughtful gestures, though the service at breakfast was a bit chaotic. The room was clean but small, and the bathroom could have used a better layout. Overall, it was decent but not quite worth the price we paid.
