Hotel Colessio is a beautifully renovated Victorian building turned luxury boutique hotel, right in the center of Stirling. With its grand exterior, high-end interiors, and a welcoming atmosphere, this stylish stay is just a short walk from key attractions, shops, and the city’s music venues. Whether you're catching a show, exploring the city, or both, Hotel Colessio puts you in the heart of it all.
Location is everything, and Hotel Colessio delivers—just a 7-minute walk from Stirling Railway Station and many local venues. It’s close enough to the action but far enough for a quiet night’s sleep. The hotel offers flexible check-in from 3:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM, giving you time to recover after a late show. With free WiFi and plush beds, it's a cozy spot to wind down after an energetic night out.
The on-site Grill Room serves up traditional dishes with a modern twist, all cooked over a Josper Grill for that smoky flavor. The hotel’s cocktail and piano bar is great for pre-show drinks or a nightcap. While there's no all-night room service, the central location means plenty of late-night food spots are just a short walk away. And yes, breakfast is available for those who need a hearty start after a late night out.
The hotel’s elegant bar is perfect for relaxed evening vibes, often with live piano music. Plus, you're within walking distance of Stirling’s pubs and lounges—some featuring their own live acts. Whether you’re into quiet cocktails or post-gig pints, you’ll find something nearby.
Some guests mention that the parking fee (£16/day) feels a bit steep, and occasionally there’s a wait at check-in during peak times. However, most say the quality of the stay makes up for it.
Hotel Colessio is a chic, central choice for concert-goers who want style, comfort, and easy access to Stirling’s music scene.

Very comfortable and convenient
Liked: Great location. Went with family and we were 5 mins walk or less to castle. 5 minutes walk or less to shops and restaurants and around 10-15 minutes walk from bowling. Easy drive as well if ye wanted to use car. Rooms were very clean and had everything we needed minus a fridge which would have been handy for the wee ones milk. A travel cot was provided with no hassle at all from hotel when requested at 2 days notice. Staff were great we noticed how polite everyone was.Breakfast was really good. Cold options available in a buffet style and then you can order hot food which comes roasting and was very nice.
Disliked: Rooms are very warm. There was a fan provided which we should have used but didn’t want to disturb the little one. Hot water was not very hot. Baths had to be topped up with the shower to make it warmer.
