Warm, clean basic stay, with a guest kitchen.

Central Stirling spot, close to Stirling Castle.
Guests appreciated the hostel's central location, which some said offered nice vistas looking out over Stirling, as well as the chance to walk to all of the town's historic attractions, such as Stirling Castle.

Negative Reviews
negative:
A few Wi-Fi and plug issues.
A few guests who stayed at Stirling Youth Hostel said they found that the free Wi-Fi only really works in the common areas — although most people did not mention such problems. Furthermore, a small handful of people were disappointed to find that they only had a single plug socket for charging electronics in their rooms.
