I booked to stay at this hotel in 2009 at one price which was quoted only to be told about a couple of days before we were due to go to the hotel that the price was almost doubled to higher price than what we were quoted, when I challeged them with this information they said that the girl who took the booking was new and she did not know that the price was supposed to be what they had quoted me when they confirmed my booking for the sceond time, I doubt this as when you work for a hotel there is something called a price list for anyone who enquires about the nightly rates, the only reason they doubled the price was because for the days that we wanted to stay the British Golf Open Championships was on and that is the only reason as when we looked a couple of weeks later the price was dropped back to the original price that we were quoted by the so called girl who did not know what the price was and for that reason I would never book with this hotel AGAIN !!!!

My father booked me into this hotel as I was traveling from England to Scotland for my brothers funeral, the room was smelly and dingy, it looked over a set of trafic lights and the road was used constant (which is no suprise), the buses made a screeching noise everytime they stopped at the lights. For breakfast you had to come out the hotel and pop in next door, but I can honestly say that the breakfast was good value. Apart from that I wouldnt be staying there ever again.

i ended up at this hotel late on a Saturday night, as the previous hotel i had booked into was a complete disgrace(ayr station ).brilliantly situated as its just across from the station.bedroom and bathroom were spotless and all in good condition .the LCD TV with free view was a nice surprise.the dinner in the bar was great.and thanks to the night porter who was so kind and helpful.

This small hotel is in the centre of Ayr, very convenient for the railway station and shops, cafes and restaurants. This is a small hotel, so there is no lift, which might be a problem for some.
The room was clean and comfortable, with a nice spacious bathroom. The decor is rather old fashioned (a bit of white paint around windows and doors would work wonders), but not oppressive. Bed was comfortable, and unlike some reviewers, we had no problems with street noise, although it was a Saturday night. One huge relief here was being able to open the window properly - unlike many hotel chains which now deny their guests this basic right to fresh air. The only thing I didn't like was the music playing at the bottom of the staircase - you couldn't hear it in the room, but why have it at all?

Check in was excellent - the staff were really welcoming and efficient.

Breakfast is in the cafe next door - lovely coffee, nice service, lovely muesli with fresh strawberries and blueberries, but the traditional breakfast only ok (potato scone tasted as if it had been cooked in lard, sausage not great, 'multigrain' bread toast rather dry). However, there were vegetarian and continental options. But why oh why is it impossible to find any hotel in Scotland offering kippers for breakfast? Kippers are a Scottish speciality, they are delicious, so why no kippers?

Overall a good choice for one or two nights in Ayr.
