I have stayed here before, so kind of knew what to expect and the place didn't disappoint. I only have one comment on my stay there, this time. I checked in late as I'd been visiting relatives in Dunblane and spent the evening with them on both nights of my stay, so I arrived each night at circa 10:30pm. The room was cold and the heating was off. However, during the first night, I was woken by a noise in the room, which turned out to be the noise of the water pumping through the radiator, AT 3AM! Within a few minutes, the radiator was very hot, so I turned it off. The second night I turned the radiator off fully, before getting into bed. I suspect that the on/off heating clock may be out of kilter, explaning why the heating went off well before 10:30 and came on at 3am. Other than that, the stay was great, thank you, and I would recommend. Allan Dyer

Not sure where to start really. I'm sure many other reviewers have mentioned the lack of staff. The whole place clearly is a ghost of something far grander that used to exist. According to some locals we spoke to, in it's heyday Old Churches was a great hotel, had a lovely restaurant and was one of the town's cornerstones. This might be why is still enjoys a high rating on many sites. But for whatever reason (COVID maybe), the place has become a shell of whatever former self it enjoyed. It is all self check-in/out, there's no front desk. Which certainly wasn't the worst aspect of our stay, but added to the place's eary feel. The fact there are still so many signs for things that no longer exist (restaurant, reception, even a gym!) made the place seem like some old abandoned building. However, as I said, this wasn't the worst part. The hotel is very very dated. The room we had was one of the most tired and grotty I've stayed in, if not the worst. And it was quite dirty. A quick look under the bed, or behind a piece of furniture showed the room desperately needed a deep clean. And don't get me started on how uncomfortable the bed was. Overally the only enjoyable aspect of the hotel was the location. It is right in the centre of town and has a lovely view of the cathedral across the road.

Good base and clean
This was good for us as a base and a comfortable and clean place to stay. The room was that just a room with a bathroom. Had twin beds rather than a double but didnt matter, beds were comfy enough but no space to move and no chest of drawers or wardrobe. This place was cheapest we could find for a gig nearby and seemed there was a few others staying doing the same. Shower was fab but some mould in shower and roof. Free parking nearby and outside( it was full when we arrived) and a few pubs/cafes within 5 mins. Train station 5 minute walk so ideal for getting about. Beech tree cafe was great for food and breakfast next day. Its not luxury but not basic(premier inn) so i would stay for a pitstop but not for romantic break or longer break.

Would we stay again - No
Positive Location with Cathedral View Free parking close by Dunblane is great Negatives Would not stay again for a number of reasons: Not clean Tired rooms with mould on shower roof, cobwebs, no air conditioning, not cleaned to appropriate standard, general scapes and marks both in room and in communal areas. No staff appear to be on duty and no reception area.
