Review of Lauriston Hotel
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 15 Aug 2024
We have had the great fortune of visiting the Lauriston Hotel in Ardrossan for many years now. And its nothing less than a wee jewel on the West Coast. We were welcomed back by the staff who recognised us from our many previous visits. Our table was situated at the window offering us great views, and a feel of the great ambiance in the restaurant. My family had the fish and chips, cheeseburger and Thai curry, and I can honestly say it was all beautifully presented, and delicious and didn’t disappoint, The Lauriston food/service/ambiance, is a credit to all who work there, thank you, once again for a further great evening…..we will be back, again :)

Check in was a bit hap hazard and the room was not as expected. Shower room was cramped to say the least and the double bed was not comfortable. Breakfast wasn’t exactly welcoming and I feel the items were either reheated or waiting on a hot plate before being served. Staff weren’t the friendliest and when my partner tried to order drinks from the main bar, he was asked to leave to order from the function room bar which I feel was incredibly rude as he is a paying customer. We will unlikely be staying again and feel that customer service ought to be reviewed here.

Thank you for taking the time to post your comments regarding your recent stay . I am extremely disappointed to read your comments and wish you had let us know of your disappointment whilst here as these could of been rectified. Unfortunately yes in some rooms the en suites are very small , something we have no control over in such an old building , however these are very well fitted out with rainfall power shoers ,and everything you would need, all be it small. As you were attending a function within the hotel , the bar within that room is the bar used for service of such events, the bar you refer to is the restaurant bar and not equipped to serve a large scale event . Again we are sorry you were not happy with your stay and your comments have been passed onto staff concerned

Went for a meal with Friends. Awful experience. Very slow service and every meal was dissapointing. Friends burger had rice stuck all over the bottom of the bun and chips were full of tempura batter. Waited over an hour for food and actually had to ask what was going on before they were served. Also waited over 40minutes before any staff came near us to ask if we needed anymore drinks.
Meals were nothing like described on the menu and when we queried this staff were disinterested. Swiftly left and had dessert elsewhere. Won’t be returning or recommending.

Thank you for taking the time to post your comments. Firstly please accept my apologies regarding your experience this couldn't be further from our usual high standards . Please do not take this as an excuse but your server was instructed previously that there was to be no more food orders taken for a period to allow the kitchen and bar to catch up on the back log, this should have been explained to you by your server . This however doesn't excuse however if the food was not of the quality expected . We always try to control the service of food ensuring no one waits and the quality is as expected , however on this occasion your server failed to take direction as instructed leading to the disappointing experience you had, We are very confident in our usual high standards and should you choose to return , please let us know and we will ensure you have a pleasnt and well looked after experience

We visit here at least one a month and drive through from glasgow. Had the sunday lunch a few times as we did today. The lentil soup was great with two slice of bread. My partner had roast beef with the veg and 2 different kinds of potatoes. I had the chicken with bacon a leek sauce with veg and crispy and boiled potatoes. We then had the fudge cake, and i had the sticky toffee pudding. This was a great price for either 2 or a 3 course meal. The staff are very attentive and on hand if you need anything. Great place
