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.

Exceptional
Liked: The location of the hotel was perfect for exploring stirling. Breakfast was excellent, service from staff was great, all very helpful and polite. Onsite parking (even though this was an extra charge). Bedroom was great, large bathroom and room itself roomy and comfortable.
Disliked: No net curtain on window as room had other building windows looking directly in to our room, feeling like no privacy abd others being able to see in without us knowing, therefore having to close the curtains all the time whilst in the room. No mini fridge in the rooms would have been good to keep water, snacks cool in, etc.

It was ok but poor...
Liked: Good location, exceptional staff
Disliked: Very expensive £166 but no breakfast. Bathroom towel rail was on all of the time so the bathroom was like a sauna!

Bring lots of money
Liked: Good location downtown up on a hill. I found the bar very expensive. $42.00 for two coffee with a shot of Bailys was a bit rich. The breakfast was good but ran out fast. Coffee was the hardest to get in the morning.
Disliked: Prices of anything in Scotland are really expensive. Double on places than at home on Canada. My VISA is worn out

Hotel Colessio exceeded my expectations...
Liked: I loved my stay at this hotel, it exceeded my expectations. Perfect location! Staff are lovely, the hotel is so clean and welcoming, rooms are comfortable and well equipped. Breakfast was great too! Coming back with my kids and dog very soon
Disliked: My only minor fault was my keycard kept not working, so I’d go up to my room then have to go all the way back down. But I sorted it out by getting it reactivated before going upstairs
