The only thing this has going for it is the location. The room looked nothing like the photos. The carpets were terribly stained. There was black mould in the shower. The bed felt like it was going to snap and the beds werent made properly with the mattress showing. The elevator was broken. Overall, it was a disappointing stay.

Nice spot

The room was good size and the location was great. Parking was a little complicated. And the many pathways was a bit confusing at first. But everyone was helpful and there's lots nearby for looking and eating.

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.

A taste of olde Stirling/Scotland.

All fine, the Receptionist was very friendly and professional, a definite asset to the hotel. She had excellent taste in music too. There should be a better choice of wine behind the bar but apart from that, all good.

Regular worldwide travellers and this hotel bares little resemblance to the description, website information, reviews and ratings. Not a botique hotel but basic bar with rooms. Corridors and stairwells unkempt and old, room dark and tired with old with furniture and tiny sink in the small en-suite. Reception not staffed adequately although pleasant receptionist. No onsite parking as advertised, but public short stay available adjacent to hotel. Price increase for parking not up to date in hotel information. No breakfast available despite on website and mentioned in reviews. Room servicing didn’t include making the bed up and first day we had to ask for the room to be serviced. Noisy water from adjacent room showers. City view was scruffy back yard and public car park. Only good thing was central position in city. Extremely disappointed and would not stay again. Would not recommend.

The bedrooms area is above the bar / restaurant and does not open until 2pm, so don't go before then as no-one will be there. There was no working lift installed (yet / maybe never) so be prepared to carry luggage upstairs and down. On the plus side, the woman in the bar handling everything was very efficient & Friars is close to the railway station and the local shops, but it's unlikely I'll stay again as I prefer classic hotels. Also, check if there's a ghost in the Katrine room.

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.

We stayed in the back apartment….getting there was a bit isolated in the back alley. There is a car park right behind but if parking there you always have to top up the fee another car park is about 400 meters away and has 24 hr rate. The apartment is a bit dated and could use some repairs

This hotel needs to update its website to give parking and access directions. Google maps gives directions to the middle of a block, behind the visible buildings. We had to park and walk to hotel just to ask how and where to park. The bat staff were lovely and very helpful. That night during our stay, the rains bucketed down and parts of the hotel started flooding. The bar and front desk person (the same person) had to leave and try to handle the flood until the owner came. The hotel is a warren of passages that is fairly confusing. Our room had chipped paint, a very uncomfortable bed, and zero ventilation. The beds need to be replaced and fans need to be in every room. The breakfast the next day was passable but we will not be back.

It was ok for one night.

The hotel is much older than it looks in the photos. We had a bit of a plumbing issue as the shower drain was clogged. Really strange layout. We had to go through 9 doors and 1 1/2 flights of stairs to get from the lobby to our room. Also, check the GPS, cara can’t drive on the actual street the front entrance is on.

We liked the location. But a few things let the hotel down. You are only allowed one beverage drink with your breakfast. They charge for top ups. There was no mirror in the room to dry your hair. The toilet didn’t flush unless you pumped it. During the day you have to pay for parking and you can only stay two hours.

Charming, wonderful boutique hotel

We loved our stay here at Friars Wynd! The bistro downstairs is cute and charming on top of having tasty food and cakes. Service was excellent. Our room provided a quiet, restful, comfortable stay after a long day of travel. Our only suggestions, which are minor: 1) individual plastic toiletry bottles are wasteful; a bulk dispenser would be preferred. 2) And while it was very nice of them to provide bottled water in the room, instead they could have a sign saying that Scotland’s tap water is very clean and safe to drink, and encourage guests to refill reusable bottles instead. Overall, we loved this hotel and would definitely come back.
