Stirling Youth Hostel

4.0 star property
8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (93)
"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."
