The Golden Lion Hotel

King Street, Stirling city centre · Hotel

A historic coaching inn on King Street dating back over two centuries, in the heart of Stirling's shopping and dining district.

About The Golden Lion Hotel

The Golden Lion Hotel has stood on King Street since the late eighteenth century and has hosted travellers through Stirling for generations, including, according to local tradition, Robert Burns. The building retains a traditional coaching-inn character in its public rooms, while bedrooms have been refurbished to a more contemporary standard.

Its central position puts it within a few minutes' walk of the railway station, the main shopping streets and the foot of the Old Town, making the steep walk up to the castle straightforward for those staying here. The hotel's bar and restaurant are popular with both guests and locals for straightforward pub-style menus.

As one of the more established mid-range hotels in the city centre, it suits visitors who want a central, no-fuss base without the higher rates of the boutique properties nearby.
