For the quality of the stay - shared bathroom, small room, twin mattresses pushed together, in Irvine - it should cost less. If the price reflected the quality of stay, it would be sufficient. Everything worked and I was able to complete my stay without issue.

Disgusting room with a bathroom that has full on damp running throughout, so bad everything in the whole room was damp and clammy to the touch, beds were dirty and showed stains under a uv light, stayed 4 days and for the price i am shocked anyone would offer this as an option to stay in at 370 quid for 4 days, would not stay here again and would not recommend to anyone until the whole rooms cleaned and the bathroom is fixed, is probably a health hazard as all i could smell was mold

The area was decent for me but unfortunately the room was rather dire, the bed was clean thankfully but the rest of the room was grim, the worst being blood found in/on the drawers, the wardrobe and surrounding carpet. Only stayed for half my booked time

While this hotel was *very* cheap, it was not a great experience. There is no onsite staff, which would be fine, but I didn't receive an email about this and how to get the key. After speaking with someone on the phone, my key turned out not even to be in the key box, but fortunately was in my door. The room was tiny (basically OK just to sleep in) and not very clean. The bathroom facilities were adequate. There was parking near by. Overall, I needed somewhere to stay near Saltcoats for a couple of nights, where I could basically sleep. This was a very cheap option, and was more a case of you get what you pay for rather than good value.

It was in the middle of renovation (in high season) the reception was a mess, in my room the floor was not cleaned properly and it was missing a light bulb in one light, the main light switch was well concealed behind a curtain behind the wardrobe and took some finding. Access to my room was from a path open to the street and the means of locking it unfamiliar so the first day I had to leave it open. When I eventually saw the helpful room service lady, who was there for three hours every day so I had to make sure of being back at that time, she showed me how to lock the door, saying English people always had problems, so it is a system only familiar in Scotland. A written explanation would have been very helpful. The whole place was self-service (check-in was through instruction by e-mail with a code for opening a keybox) and had an air of neglect. I made a couple of calls to the phone number posted at reception and one of the people I had difficulty understanding and did not call back as I requested. The hotel is a bit outside the main town though there are a number of bus routes. I would recommend not keeping it on your list.

Disgusting accommodation.

I was unable to gain access to the property, as the entry code machine in which you insert the code was in extremely bad condition. I tried for over 30 minutes I telephoned the number given, where the young lady I spoke to hadn't a clue as to the layout of the hotel. She said she'd make enquiries and phone me back. A pedestrian passing me by, was eventually, after 3 attempts, able to get the door opened. Things didn't impress me when the door was open, as I was greeted with dirty entrance hall, which continued throughout the 3 corridors I had to walk through to get to my room. Right outside my room, litter and leaves were strewn everywhere, despite my room being in the middle of the building. Cleanliness inside my room was also disgusting . If I hadn't travelled from Devon a few days before, plus being 81 years old, I would not have stayed and would have sought alternative accommodation. I planned to post photographs I had taken but unfortunately your 'Add photo' section will not open.

Pay the little extra and get somewhere better.

On arrival after 8 hours driving I was met with a locked door. Soo tired i just wanted to ly down. I called number on door and was told by bloke to wait 5 minutes for a link with which i had to provide id before getting combination for key box and main door. Waited 10 minutes no link. Met another resudent who gave me a different number. Veronica was more helpful. Proceedure now had taken around 30 minutes. Fortunately it wasn't raining. Got inside. Room 9 on key. Reminds me of Chungking Mansions Hong Kong in the late 90s. Not good. Down 3 corridors through three dors and Im out the back door. Walk down the path to No.9. Opened door dirty floor. I must say beds had clean linen. There was a kettle, tea, coffee, shampoo and conditioner. What you would expect in a hotel. The condition of the room was awful. Stains on woodwork and side tables. Disconnected toilet seat (accident waiting to happen). Large cracked sink obstructing shower door. Could only get cold water from the sink. Shower was hot but place had a lot of black mold. Did not feel clean after shower. I have stayed in $20 backpackers accommodation which where of higher standard than this place. I dhould have paid the little extra for the Travelodge. Tried to load photo??? No joy

At least it was clean, so no problem there. I do have an issue when management companies ask for additional checks, asking for info and ID after booking through online agents. I'm a host so understand but it was a hassle as both me and my friend had to do it. Easy to find and access. Parking on the road was easy. Otherwise it was all just cheap and tired. Rooms smelt of smoking, mattress tired. But all was clean with cotton sheets and we were arriving late, leaving early so OK.

Access to keys for entry was easy, bed was comfortable and the shower was good although the water took forever to drain away so I had to turn it off before it overflowed which may account for the slightly fousty smell in the room. No signal on TV no matter how many buttons we pressed!

£89 a night is criminal. My TV didn’t work, the bed nearly sunk into the floor when I sat on it and the place just doesn’t look nice. £40 a night and I’d say there would be less to complain about.

It is fit for no one. They were decorating and doing work. The corridors and reception area were loaded with tools and equipment and the whole area was unsafe to walk around. The room was dirty and the curtains didn’t fit the windows so the light just came through. No where to hang clothes and no hangers. The mirror was behind the toilet door and not near a plug. There were extention leads for kettle etc just lying on the floor which also didn’t feel safe. Overall I would avoid and I understand it was a cheaper option than a hotel but it was even below standard for that.

AVOID AVOID AVOID!!

Where do I start? I was supposed to receive an email on the morning of the booking with a pin number to get into this unstaffed property. No email arrived. We phoned several times until someone answered. Long story short, I was given the wrong code. I phoned again. It took over an hour to get through that time. I asked the person to stay on the line while I tried the new code. She hung up. Wrong code AGAIN. Eventally we got through again and were given a new code. This one worked and we entered this unkempt and neglected guesthouse to the overpowering stench of dampness and faeces. The "bedroom" was damp, unfit for human habitation and even had a complimentary jobby left in the toilet, The carpets were filthy and the furniture sticky with thick grime This is no B&B. This is more like a dystopian prison. We couldn't stay in this filthy place and we immediately departed to find an alternative hotel. Thankfully we found one. We asked for a refund as we hadn't stayed. Of course this was refused. We were in Irvine to attend a wedding. While there we asked some local people about the Riverside Guesthouse and were told it was used to accomodate drug rehabilitation patients and asylum seekers. If this is indeed true, my heart goes out to those poor souls who are forced to exist for more than a few seconds in Riverside guesthouse. Avoid!
