Location, bar and foyer area nice
Outdated
Rooms Dirty. Dust over light shades, cobwebs, peeled paint and mould
Single small lift, struggled to fit myself and pram in. Didn’t feel it was safe
Door knobs almost hanging off and not functioning. Could only from outside with key. Lucky in a way as couldn’t lock from the inside
Ceiling light not working properly. Flickering on and off
Urine appearing stain on bedding
Pile of towels under sink pipes seemingly stemming a leak. Evidence of wall damage behind
Breakfast awful. Cold but burnt appearing. Undercooked. Tasteless. Felt unwell after eating.
Attempted to flag to hotel. Reception in all due respect were nice about things but all they could do was take details for the attention of the manager
2.5
Good location with car parking. Traditional feel to the reception area.
Entry from the car park into the hotel gives a terrible impression. Would not recommend breakfast, looked like orange juice tasted like water. Cooked items ok but just warm.
4.0
Staff friendly and polite! Bedroom was an amazing size! Good quality and tasty food!
Parking wasn't ideal. Carpark too small to accommodate all the guests! We had a twin room instead of a double! The bedrooms and upstairs was very dated and tired! Only three hangers in the wardrobe! The wardrobe doors wouldn't close! TV on wall was small!
2.5
I ate at the restaurant for dinner - the food was really good and the staff were attentive. The second room I was given was clean and has iron/iron board included.
For the price I paid, the hotel did not meet my expectations. The first room I was given was not clean - there was hair on the toilet seat, stains and no toilet roll. I requested a different room and this was provided. The room itself was clean but was small and lacked facilities (e.g. no WiFi, no hairdryer). There was also a pile of dirty bedding that sat outside my bedroom for my stay. Health and safety was also a concern (e.g. fire door propped open with a fire extinguisher)
4.5
Lovely place, good location, great bar and restaurant, room satisfactory
Parking- trying to find the place was really tricky with sat nav giving bad directions. Breakfast not great but ok
4.0
The family room we had was PERFECT! X2 double beds and a single with plenty room. The bathroom had a bath too which was great for washing the wee ones.
The price was a bit steep in my opinion for 1 night, but the facilities etc were all fantastic
4.0
The Golden Lion was such a unique experience. An older hotel, with historical significance, right in the heart of Stirling’s tourist area. All the sites we wanted to see were in walking distance or were accessible by bus or train and the staff, room and food were incredible.
This didn’t bug us, but there is no wifi accessible in the room. If you have data, this shouldn’t be any issue.
5.0
Breakfast very good cooked one always warm
Location of hotel excellent right I the middle of town
Yes I got our double bed, which I don't think was quite as big as a double so seemed a bit small for hubby and myself.

La posizione centrale
La poca pulizia
4.5
Zentrale Lage und Restaurant mit Pub. Wir bekamen noch etwas zu essen, obwohl die Küche schon geschlossen war.
Handtuchhalter im Bad hing nur noch mit einer Schraube fest an der Wand. Keine Klo Bürste an der Toilette. Kein WLAN IM Zimmer. Kein freier Stellplatz für PKW obwohl freies Parken zugesichert war. Küche im Restaurant schließt schon um 20:00 Uhr.

En general está bien, es antiguo pero bien.
No hay nada reseñable que me encantara ni que odiara.
La moqueta.
4.0
Nous avons eu un soucis électrique dans notre chambre initialement prévue. Ceci dit, lorsque nous en avons fait part à l'accueil, la personne nous a immédiatement changés de chambre sans poser de question. C'est agréable de voir que la confiance et la bonne foi sont présentes. La chambre où nous avons étés au final était assez incroyable, ce qui nous a vite fait oublier la petite mésaventure. L'hôtel est au calme.
Le petit soucis électrique (mais qui s'est réglé illico), le parking certes accessible mais sur la base du "1er arrivé/1er servi": j'avais pris cet hôtel car proposant un parking. Nous avons cependant eu une place assez facilement, mais c'est à prendre en compte.
1.5
Location is good - very central. Breakfast also good.
No Wi-Fi in the rooms? Seriously? It's 2024! I have been following the comments from other guests, and the management/owners have been promising to install Wi-Fi in the rooms since 2017. Still no WiFi - only in the common area in the lobby. Very poor.
Also, not even a glass in my room. I had to rinse my mouth with the mug from the coffee set.
Room was tiny. Single bed. Shower was clean but there was no rhyme or reason as to how to control the shower - I just kept turning the knobs until I got the right temperature for 30 seconds, before it got too hot or too cold again.
My room was very run down.
It's fine for a drink in the bar, or perhaps to eat there (although last orders are at 7:30pm!) but I was VERY disappointed with my stay there. Rooms need attention and overall, it just feels run down; dated.

Location
Hotel defo needs some money spent on it. Cracking walls and ceilings, deteriorating decor in lots of places. I have now stayed 3 times in different rooms and all bed mattresses needed replaced, lying on beds you can feel the base through the mattresses ! My bathroom had a sink right Infront of the loo ! I am 5ft 2" and my knees touched the sink unit so anyone taller would have had a problem fitting on the loo ! Not ideal !
Roof Lighting in the tiny lift doesn't work. 2 tiny lights fitted but very dark in lift.
Breakfast was okay but nothing to 'write home about' bit bland.
Car park surface terrible and parking was in short supply.
We attended the MacFleet Tribute band the other night and the seating wasn't put out (we were told band wanted it non seating so not hotel fault) but then people starting pulling in seats from where they could find them and it soon became apparent staff were forced to bring through seating but many of the staff you could tell were just not happy at all. A bit of a disaster. We didn't manage to get a seat so ended up going to bed early and missing the last 2.5hr of the band.
4.5
Location was great very central to Stirling city. The hotel was built 1789 and the history was very interesting. The facilities, bar and restaurant were good and the breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. The staff were very helpful, friendly and approachable. Room was okay for my needs and budget
Obviously there were a few issues as the hotel is so old but I feel they have done well to keep it modernised. The room was okay but cleanliness wasn’t great you could see dust where they had just wiped the surfaces in the bathroom and the window seal was broken so you couldn’t close the window tightly. Obvious wear and tear on things such as carpets in communal areas
3.5
The location was good. It was quiet, clean, had kettle and coffee in the room. Beds were comfortable. Staff was nice.
There was no wifi in the rooms, only in public spaces. The bathroom tub was long and narrow and there weren't any safety bars to hold on to - good water pressure and clean though. There was a heated towel rack, but I didn't know how to turn it on. Some light bulbs were quite dim or out. Be aware that entering from the front, there are several stairs to climb with your luggage if you have mobility limitations.

2.0
Central location in Stirling and nice hotel in the public areas.
No wifi in the rooms! The elevator didn't work half the time we were there, and when it did, it was excruciatingly slow, and just one to serve the whole hotel, not nearly enough. The lady at the reception wasn't particularly friendly. The bathtub was falling apart, the paneling on the side was coming off. I think this is the first hotel ever without a fridge/minibar. This was a big minus for us as we had some drinks and food we needed to refrigerate. We stayed on the 4th floor, in a tiny room with low ceilings, and it must be because the heat comes up, it got super warm.

4.0
The receptionist was extremely friendly and helpful. We were in an unusual situation which included lost luggage with important medicine in it. So in the middle of the night the receptionist not only helped us out tracking the luggage but also to find emergency places and did phone calls for us (because for foreigners to understand Scottish on the phone is not easy). She was great!! Unfortunately I forgot her name, but `Thank you so much!`

ideal location for what I needed
heated towel rail didn’t work and the extractor fan made such a shrieking squeal when on.

4.0
Location couldn't be better as it is very very central. Exterior is also very eye-catching.
Staff were very helplful and friendly.
1. No wifii in rooms.
2. Blinds in bathroom were constantly going back up so we could not have a decent shower without being seen by the people who live on the opposite side of the window...
4.5
Excellent stay for the price paid. Hotel was clean and services were very good. Superb location.
Should have been notified that the restaurant was not opening on the first night due ro a function.
3.0
Breakfast is reasonable for the price paid.
The hotel building is old and in good condition. However, I think the room we had needed a wee bit of t.l.c. It had 2 windows, one with a torn net hanging from it, better to have none if they couldn't replace it.
There was a large function in the ballroom 2 floors below. Noise carried from announcements being made late.
