Lauriston Hotel

Hotel is very easy to find ,located around 2 minutes from the Ardrossan South beach station . Additionally it is around a 15 minute walk to the Ardrossan Ferry terminal for the Arran boat . It was a very nice touch that the hotel had appropriate Halloween themed lighting upon arrival outside and inside for Halloween weekend . Upon check in the front desk were very welcoming and took the time to explain where everything was and take our order for breakfast . As our ferry was cancelled the next day , the staff at the hotel were very helpful and let us keep our bags in our room as the weather was atrocious and offered to let us stay in the bar/lounge area as long as we needed. Excellent service . Hotel room and all other areas were perfectly clean and in good condition . The room had a kettle and the bar was open until late . The breakfast in the morning was also fantastic . Overall a great stay before going over to Arran and would stay again.

Good hotel only 2mins from the rail station and 10mins walk to the ferry port to Isle of Arran. Staff all very friendly and helpful and food excellent. I had the scotch egg which was just fantastic. My partner had the Thai Curry twice as she too enjoyed it that much the first night. She also had the scallops which again she says were some of the bet she’s ever had.

Beautiful hotel right on the beach front of Ardrossan. We decided on this hotel to have my mums surprise party due to the view and special memories my mum had as a child with family visiting Saltcoats and Ardrossan from Glasgow. The range of buffet had good choice and catered for including gluten free, vegetarian and welcome drinks on arrival. Staff on hand to help and assist at all times. Family and friends stayed in the hotel and feed back was excellent dinner, breakfast and rooms , even with the high winds at the sea front. Guests travelled from different areas and used the train station outside the hotel and disability facilities excellent. I can’t thank the Lauriston staff enough for making my mums night so special in the giant room. Thank you.

Laurie’s sports Bar and Kitchen. Here on an early Friday afternoon, Wonderful experience, the burger was amazing and only £ 4.00 on a deal, lovely tempura cauliflower. Fantastic atmosphere and great value. Not been here for a while but will be again. Thank you

What an awful experience.Death trap paper bath mats. Electrical extension in to another extension. Filthy carpet on the staircase. Sticky furniture. Badly designed tea making facilities under coat hangers. Poor lighting on the stairs No staff on reception in the morning to report issues to. But the food was good

We walked in and were immediately greeted by Wendy, made to feel like returning guests. Don't be put off by the size of the hotel, sports bar with 9 TVs, room was a good size, king-size bed. The food in the restaurant was fantastic, one of our starters was haggis and black pudding scotch egg, cut into it the egg yoke was perfectly runny, big compliments to the chef very hard to get correct. Good portions. Great breakfast. The bar was really nice, set down with some locals, made to feel like we had been there many times. Enjoy

We chose this hotel because of its position on the seafront and proxiemty to the ferry for Arran. It's a little old fashioned inside & rather dark but obviously retains many of the original features which is rather nice. There is a magnificent stained glass window as you go up the stairs which looks like it belongs in some council offices or library. Our room was OK, clean, beds comfortable & all the usual complimentary things supplied. The only downside was the squeaky floorboard just by the bathroom which made it impossible to creep quietly into the bathroom during the night!! Breakfast was good & served to the table, full Scottish with cereals available too. The waitress was efficient & friendly. We only stayed one night before getting the ferry but would stay again.

Room door had to be forced open and closed, bathroom door did not close, bathroom really small, returned first meal on Friday night as was cold, second meal was at least warm, dessert was poor, coffee machine not working. Could not go out hotel before breakfast without having to spend ages pressing a door bell to get in. Kept getting told it was because of licensing laws, not true as getting in and out of a hotel in the mornings is covered by this. Will never use this hotel again. Only plus was waiting staff were pleasant.

Beautiful hotel right on the beach front of Ardrossan. Decor is very old, reminds me of an old parochial house of sorts but it's beautiful and very quirky. Breakfast was gorgeous and the braised beef for lunch the next day was also delicious, great selection in the bar. Room was spotless, massive bed, quite and extremely comfortable, all the staff were very friendly The lady at the front desk Jennifer was a pleasure to deal with, extremely polite, courteous, went through everything with me and was very good to look after me as u was a walk in customer. Always a positive to get such a friendly warm welcome into a hotel and she pulls a good pint, can't get better😁 Motorcycle friendly hotel from an Irish traveller👍
