What guests think

At The Stirling Arms Hotel, travelers highlight friendly, helpful staff, a charming heritage building with modern touches, and a convenient Guildford location near the airport, train links, and cafes and shops.

Rooms are generally clean and comfortable, with several noted as spacious or newly renovated in a preserved heritage style. Recurring noise from the pub, nearby rail crossing, and aircraft affects some stays, and access via stairs can be challenging for those with luggage. On-site pub meals are widely praised, parking is handy, and check-in is smooth, though a few guests mention booking communication problems or rooms not matching photos. Expect a characterful pub stay in a convenient spot, with potential noise.

All the staff at the Stirling Arms Hotel are wonderful. The managers, especially, were understanding and prompt in modifying my reservation where Expedia refused to make an effort to merely reply to emails. Don't book through Expedia! The room was clean, comfortable and simple. Ample car parking outside the hotel and in their rear carpark too. The kitchen created a delicious dinner within a bright dining setting and I would've sat outside except for the chill in the air. A great location with some minor aircraft sounds - which I love. Great people work here:-)

Excellent location in the beautiful historic suburb of Guildford. The Manager was a bit terse when we arrived, but we hope she was just having a bad day. Otherwise, this was a great pub in a great location

Room has some renovations to modernize it, had a kettle, fridge, and microwave. Would have rated it average but it was very noisy. Trains went by about every 15 minutes (horn, general rumbling, and the bells ringing while the intersection was blocked), and the air unit would rattle loudly every 5 to 10 seconds. Found a hair in the bathroom that wasn't mine.

The staff were very good and the meal was nice. The room was clean and comfortable as well plus the proximity to the airport is good. But trying to sleep for an early wakeup was near impossible until well after ten pm. Not sure what the base was turned up to on whatever music was playing, but holy crap it was vibrating the room something horrible. We were close to the point on leaving and going to sleep in the car. I know it’s a hotel and need to have music but what about the accommodation and the guests they have trying to sleep. Finally got to snooze for a couple of hours before getting up at 3am. That sort of let the whole place down and probably won’t stay there again because of it.

We enjoyed our overnight stay at the Stirling Arms hotel. The rooms have been refurbished and modernised but still had old world charm, and history. Very central to restaurant s and cafes, antique stores etc and to the river and a Short drive to the Swan Valley A bit noisy as it’s in a flight path for planes going and from Perth Airports but didn’t notice that as time went on.

Good pub style meals at reasonable price. Room overlooked garden bar and railway line, so was a bit noisy. Ear plugs were needed which I had. Dispite several attempts by email and a phone call (left message as answering machine) there was no response verifying or confirming booking from establishment as was supposed to recoeve message re checkin procedures.
