    Good
    Comfortable, pleasant stay, just what we needed.
    Breakfast was good but there were a few things that need to be addressed, drinks machine occasionally not as hot as it could be, toast machine variable results. Cooked breakfast was very good. Staff very helpful and friendly.
    WiFi didn't reach our room.

    Very good
    Good value hotel in a great location for everything
    Overall stay very comfortable especially our bed, and hotel lovely and cosy, Hogmanay was great apart from said problem with the tough main course, special mention of the band and the Piper both fantastic.
    Breakfast, bacon and sausage on the second morning was very undercooked for our liking, however when we commented and asked the chef obliged and cooked it a little longer for us, also as we stayed over 3 nights we booked for the Hogmanay gala ball, again unfortunately the kitchen let things down by the main course beef was the opposite of the breakfast and very tough and overcooked.

    The Golden Lion is is a fantastic location in the centre of Stirling & I will certainly stay there again.
    Theres a lot to like about this hotel including the helpful staff, very comfortable bar/restaurant with excellent Menus & high quality food.
    The bedroom was quite basic & the beds were not comfortable. However the bathroom was very modern.

    Get what you pay for.
    Lovely downstairs. Decent price for what you get but rooms are very basic and decor really needs updating. I can't complain as you get what you pay for. Staff were lovely - remote not working for TV - provided batteries. Unfortunately it was still not working, but we were only using to wind down after our evening so not a big deal for us. Bar staff also happily provided jug of water and glasses to take to our room when I asked. A room with a walk in shower was provided as I have mobility issues which I was very grateful for. Clean rooms but basic and very old fashioned - could look amazing with a little tlc. Buffet breakfast provided in price - we went at 8.30am and food barely warm, food choice really good, but "hot" food very overdone. Sitting on hotplates - not ideal but edible. Eggs were not cooked through...and I love a fried egg! They have lovely pastries, drinks and fruit, jam, yoghurts (on ice). Just wanted to be clear so people know what they are getting. Bottom line - Staff absolutely fantastic, but everything is so old and tatty upstairs. Breakfast great selection, but no real love put into prep - really hate a barely warm cooked brekkie and undercooked eggs. Bedroom - was a double, but as many hotels do - 2 singles pushed together - unfortunately this time it was really uncomfortable - had been made up as 2 singles which made bed keep splitting and couldn't share covers as singles. Not a huge deal, but affected sleep. Again, I didn't want to bother staff as price was decent for what we got, so they can't fix it you don't ask. I'm sure they would have moved us if asked. All in all, lovely bar area and staff great - you get what you pay for! I will go back if price doesn't increase - even though I have been picky! Just being honest.

    Breakfast barely warm and fried eggs not cooked properly. Decor really needs updating upstairs - even just a lick of paint to make it feel less tatty and cleaner. A TV remote that works. Double made up of 2 singles - would have worked better if a double sheet/bedding used - singles made it split and difficult to sleep.
