We love everything about this hotel. The dining and casual lounge areas are beautiful, the rooms are extremely comfortable and stylish and the food is great. Location is central to Adelaide Hills activities and close to Hahndorf but quieter.

We could hear the bass of the music from downstairs in our room. It wasn’t overly loud but it was noticeable. Also we couldn’t find any instructions for the steam room in our bathroom and it didn’t appear to be working.

The hotel has been upgraded beautifully and the dining was delicious. Our room was gorgeous, the bed was big & very comfortable, the curtains blocked out the sun, a huge bathroom with spa and a separate kitchen with supplies for breakfast. The only negative was the carpet in our room needed a good steam clean as there was a slight damp wet smell. The hotel advised that the rooms were going to be totally refurbished in a couple of months, so this won't be an issue after the refurb. The rooms are beautiful as they are so it will be great to see how they update them.

The carpets needed a steam clean in our room.

Very nice to have a pantry with good facilities. The bed was very comfortable and we liked the furniture. We appreciated the very large bathroom. The housekeeping staff were friendly and helpful, especially when we asked for more lights. The location is ideal for the shops in town and we enjoyed our meal in the restaurant.

The lighting is totally inadequate: the bedside lamps have low wattage bulbs and black lampshades, so it is impossible to read in bed. The table lamp only had one working bulb instead of three, and even when we had a second table lamp, with two working bulbs, the room was still quite dark.

The Stirling Hotel was wonderful - great location, beautifully decorated, and the restaurant was excellent. All the staff, including the housekeeping staff, went out of their way to be helpful. The shared kitchen was such a great touch.

Unfortunately our original room had a leaky bath fitting, creating a dangerous puddle. We were moved to another room, which was absolutely lovely, but weren't able to stay there for our whole stay. It was a little inconvenient to have to move twice, but all the staff listened so nicely to our concerns and tried their best to make things right.

The room was stunning. Far beyond my expectation. The room was spacious, but very well decorated so the room looked and felt warm and welcoming. There was a fire place and a sitting corner with a coffee table and armchairs in front of the fire. The bathroom was huge and well lit and heated. The only quirks I found were (1) a strange tap with a strange way to turn on the water, which also controlled the hot water -- just strange, and (2) a second TV in the bathroom... The room had access to the balcony, opening out to the historical heart of the town. (There was a historical photograph of this spot in the restaurant downstairs). The room was on the first floor (above the ground floor) with a good lift access.

While some of the staff members were efficient enough, the level of welcoming feel was surprisingly low in contrast to the room quality. The ground floor housed a restaurant and a bistro, all seemed to share a small reception counter which also dubbed as the hotel reception. The reception service was reasonably quick and efficient, however rather lacking in warmth, and not always helpful with inquiry (including on the phone). The restaurant waiters were not attentive nor welcoming, even as there were very few tables occupied that night at that time. This was quite disappointing and marred the experience which would otherwise have been close to perfect.

What a stylish hotel with stunning surrounds especially in Autumn with the changing colours of the leaves! We had a big bed and enjoyed having a bath that had a TV! Lovely Ashley and Co. Soap products. The nearby kitchenette supplied a continental breakfast with every milk/bread/juice variety (muchly appreciated) and easy to use expresso machine. This is a very popular hotel so staff are busy, especially as it was Easter, but once they were located we were given a personalised tour to our room. Great option to eat and drink well downstairs in multiple locations, be it an outside terrace with your pooch, balcony, restaurant, by a fire or sports bar. You don't hear a thing from the hotel up in your room or from across the road (which on this occassion is where a festival was being held.).

Extremely comfortable, spacious room - very clean and everything you could want!

Dinner was fabulous the first night of our stay, but quality really fell on the second night.

Room comfortable and well presented as always .Great place for a short stay in a very vibrant hotel

Reception staff could have been a little more attentive .

Breakfast is available in the Bistro downstairs, and was excellent. There are also simple breakfast provisions left in the guest kitchen if you would prefer a no cost option. Excellent quality food and service .

Continental Breakfast was provided as help yourself in a small kitchenette in the hall. A $20 drink voucher was appreciated and quickly used at the bar. We were attending a party there that night so it was better that the long drive home. Catering for the party was excellent tending toward excessive.

Odd that the basin tap in the bathroom was a round cylinder and very difficult to turn with wet or soapy hands. The little step going into the bathroom caught us both out in the middle of the night but we soon learnt.
