Wonderful atmosphere, hostel is in an old building that used to be a church, right next to other old buildings. It was very cozy and we felt very safe and comfortable as young female travellers. Kitchen was very clean, cooked there twice. The hostel offers lots of informations on what to do in Stirling.Merlot
