"We had 2 large glasses of wine, 2 cans of coca cola and a huge portion of nachos laden with cheese and spicy chicken and had to check with the waiter that they had not undercharged us."

“The Portmann in Kilmarnock strikes me as a place with genuine potential, especially for families; I picture kids enjoying the playground and the dedicated menu while adults appreciate the traditional Scottish pub feel. It's the kind of spot where a corporate event could actually feel lively, thanks to the specialized buffets and live music. While some areas might need a refresh, the friendly staff and convenient location near Glasgow Prestwick Airport are definitely pluses.”

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Portmann Hotel enjoys a convenient central location, with some rooms offering views of Kilmarnock FC. Guests often find the rooms clean, fresh, and comfortable, and of a good size for two people. While some guests have noted that the front of the hotel could use some sprucing up, the location is fab for visiting Kilmarnock, just 10-15 minutes from the station and especially convenient for attending a Killie game.
