The Not so Royal Hotel, Girvan.

Bar staff unhelpful. Breakfast was fruit and cereal in room. No evening meals served as stated in booking brochure. Room was dismal. Bed uncomfortable. Sky TV was intermittent. Bathroom was not in the room, had to walk on shared landing. Carpets dirty. Worse place I've stayed. Not worth £80 per night. Downstairs door left open all night unattended, didn't feel safe. I would rather have slept in my car.
Paul, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Very basic and in need of update. Fire alarm system was defective (fault showing on panel), which when coupled with no reception or staff onsite was a bit concerning, this was reported to staff by phone.
Peter, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not as advertised

After working all day, and a 3 hour drive to the hotel, we were looking forward to a meal and few drinks in the restaurant downstairs. I had to ask while checking in where to go for food and was pointed in the direction of local take aways. The bar & restaurant on site were closed! This also meant no cooked breakfast the next morning - although it was paid for and mentioned on the confirmation. They had kindly left plates and cutlery in the room but it was obviously too small for a table or any other place to sit so one of us was on the bed & the other on a stool at the vanity desk. Drinks were fizzy juice from a can! The room we got was certainly not one used on the website! Clean enough but very small and one of the lights at the bedside had been pulled out the wall. The floor was uneven & not level. Bathroom was a bit dated but adequate & there were toiletries if needed.

Przytulny, wygodny hotelik w znakomitej lokalizacji. Blisko do autobusu, do muzeów i niedaleko od plaży. Uprzejmy, pomocny personel - nie było żadnego kłopotu z zamianą pokoju na bardziej komfortowy oraz z późniejszym wymeldowaniem. Zachwycił mnie pomysł ze śniadaniem, na które nie trzeba schodzić w określonych godzinach. Wszystko, co potrzebne do śniadania znajduje się już w pokoju, częściowo na przeznaczonym do tego stoliku, a częściowo w znajdującej się w pokoju lodówce. Żadnego stresu z budzeniem się i spieszeniem na śniadanie, wszystko w zasięgu ręki i o pasującej mi porze:-))) Nie podobały mi się tylko trzy rzeczy. Po pierwsze pół litra mleka, to zdecydowanie za mało na dwie osoby. Po drugie pod prysznicem nie było nawet najmniejszej półeczki, żeby położyć mydło lub szampon, a papier toaletowy też nie miał żadnego uchwytu, co niestety nie było zbyt wygodne. Po trzecie łóżka, choć bardzo wygodne, były bardzo wąskie, nigdy nie widziałam tak wąskich łóżek i obawiałam się nieco, że spadnę. Poza tymi mankamentami uważam pobyt za bardzo udany, a już na pewno można polecić ten hotel na krótszy pobyt.

Ok for a few nights

The hotel does not look very appealing from the outside (barely recognisable as a hotel) and the lack of reception and breakfast in your room is a bit odd. That said, my room was as per the photos, airy, clean and comfortable. The manager was helpful and the breakfast in the room was perfectly fine. It was all ok for me for a few nights on a work trip, but not what I would call a leisure hotel.

Terrible

It’s the only hotel I have never stayed at and booked another. Everything about it was awful so I had to leave and book another hotel. I have never had to do that before. I have stayed and thought wouldn’t go again but never gone somewhere and left

Very comfortable stay. Room was warm and clean with a wonderful view of Alisa Craig from the window. We ate dinner out but the continental breakfast in the room was plentiful (the milk was only just in date but was fine).

Old smelly hotel.

Well the carousel wasn’t large enough for my vehicle so I was forced to park in the street. The room smelled damp and the wallpaper was hanging off the walls. My bathroom was down the hall and also smelled really bad. I was supposed to Stay for 2 nights but I had to leave after 1 night due to the conditions.

What looks like an average place from the outside is lovely inside. The rooms were great and spacious and the owner was lovely and helpful. And it was good value.

Not the most friendliest place decor was dated carpets old and not clean extremely run down supposed to be a cooked breakfast however was a continental in room with fridge price was cheap but you paid for what you got if you need a cheap place to stay and you didn’t mind slumping it this is the place

Good value for money.

The room was spacious with amazing views of the sea. The bed was comfortable and the bedding spotless, as were the towels. The only thing I would say, is the room needs makeover to freshen it up and the silicone seal in the shower needs replacing.
