Beer at £2.50 and Whisky at £2.00 was very good value and the bar was spacious Got charged £9.95 for a full breakfast of 1 Egg,1 Sausage,1, slice of Bacon,1 tomato and 1 potato slice which was a total rip off as most do a buffet self service. This was not and on. |

Convenient location, near town centre, station and airport, besides, to restuarants, cafes and a launderette. Car parking good. Basic rooms and value for brief stay. Uncomfortable bed, lack of towels, toiletries and toilet paper. Requested for extra pillows twice, but nothing materialised.The room smelt musty and was not fresh or clean, certainly lacked all the details of what once was a grand hotel. Desperate need for refurbishment throughout. |

Staff you helpful and pleasant and the room was clean with clean bedlinen and towels. Plenty of refreshments ie tea coffee etc in room. Could have done with two pillows. The whole place is shabby and in need of major refurbishment - carpets, decor, lift. Wood around the windows is rotting - shame. |

Good price, and right next door to the train station so it's very convenient. Has a rustic old-timey feel to the place which is actually kind of nice. "Double Room" is basically a twin room with the beds pushed together. Why not save £20/night by pushing the beds together yourself? Hotel could use some maintenance also (we had a lamp falling out of the wall above the bed) |

The Hotel was very central and handy for most of the Towns attractions.The rooms were basic but adaquate and weren't at all bad value for money at the discounted rate The cleanliness of the corridors and stairs, papers scattered about which had lain from the time we arrived until we left the next day. The breakfast was not as fresh as it could have been although to be fair my wife and I breakfasted at 9.30. The Bar and dinning area had a bit of a stale smell typical of old or unclean fabric or furnishing |

My husband and I did not find anything that we liked about the Swallow Station Hotel The overall hygiene and cleanliness was deplorable we had to go out and buy hygiene wipes for the toilet and the bed linen had stains on it. On leaving the hotel we were not asked if we enjoyed our stay and we will never be back in Scotland again. |

The staff were very pleasant and it was quiet considering its location.A very good priced Easter break which was value for money. A little tired and weary. and in need of refurbishment in many areas. The hotel was full but staffing levels were exceptionally poor. They certainly all had to multi task. |

I have stayed twice at this hotel it is clean and the staff are helpful it is next to the train station so no problem getting there it can also cater for disabled guests it has a lift which can be a little akward at certain times to access but nothing major.It is an old fashioned hotel with lots of character still in the process i believe of being refurbished.(mum and daughter) |

It was handy for the shops and accessible for work and lesiure activities, also good transport links to other areas within Ayrshire. Room could have been cleaner, was dusty, cups and spoons were not cleaned properly and the room door did'nt feel secure appeared to have been damaged so had to apply security chain. |
