We rented the whole Stirling Youth Hostel for a church weekend. We have families, young people and some not so young people. The accommodation in the hostel was perfect for us. Reasonably priced, clean and comfortable. The ensuite rooms are a game changer. Would definitely recommend. We will be back!Elaine McGill
