“There's an unpretentious, local feel to this property near Girvan's harbor and train station. It's the kind of place where the owners are invested and available. While the decor might be a touch faded, it's a practical choice for exploring the coast.”

My room was a twin room private bathroom. The breakfast was continental style served in the room. I found access easy.

THE STAIRWELLS had a strong smell of stale smoke. THE ROOM DECOR was not great. The bed provided very little support.

Continental Comfort

clean room free parking

The room was very clean. The provided continental breakfast included a good selection with cereal, fruit, and juice. Tea and coffee supplies were also available in the room (so convenient!). Free parking was available, either in the car park or on the street, which i REALLY appreciated.

The shower didn't drain properly, which caused a slight overflow, and it felt a bit cramped. Some fixtures seemed loose, like they were hanging off the walls, which I hope they fix soon.

Mixed feelings about this stay

nasty coffee fire escape

The breakfast was a letdown. It was already in my room when I arrived. It had prepacked croissants and pain au chocolat. The coffee was nasty, and the bar was closed. THIS felt more like a hostel than a hotel. The lack of a fire escape was also concerning.
