Menzies Hotels Irvine - Ayrshire - Irvine

Hotel personell at desk, restaurant, and housekeeping were excellent. Bar was OK.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We stayed at the Menzies Irvine due to its proximity to Glasgow Gailes and Royal Troon golf clubs. Our commute by car was only 10 to 15 minutes. If you do not have a car or wish to get exercise, the town of Irvine is a 10 minute walk. You can connect with public transportation in Irvine. Near the end of our two week stay, we took the Rail from Irvine […] into Glasgow. It was a 30 minute train ride. I wish we had done that sooner! If you have heavy luggage with you, be mindful that the hotel does not have a Lift for the 2nd floor. However, the staff will help get your bags to your room if you like. The rooms were nice and cool at night and the beds were very comfortable. We really appreciated the wall to wall room darkening curtains, too. The sun began to rise each day a little after 4am, so the curtains were a huge plus! The breakfast buffet was perfect with lots of choices. Free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel was nice. We enjoyed our stay at the Menzies. Read more

We stayed at Menzies on three occasions over a two week trip. The hotel was comfortable and clean, but less then what we expected given the 4-star status. It is probably more of a 2 1/2 or 3 star hotel, as the rooms could use some maintenance & updates (things like cracked tile, outdated curtains, etc). The beds were comfortable and bathroom was adequate, […] but nothing fancy. The hotel staff was friendly, but didn't really go out of their way to make special accommodations. There isn't a concierge or even a hotel shuttle to the local area. We arrived after midnight to check-in and had no trouble getting to the room. The hotel does not have air conditioning (not that it is needed most of the time) so our room felt a little stuffy at times. Overall, it is a decent place to stay, but it might be worth looking into the many quaint B & B's in the area before booking at Menzies. Read more

I've lost count of the number of times I've stayed at Menzies. I always enjoy it although the hotel is getting a bit past its prime now. For the very first time, I had a meal which wasn't exceptional but it was still a lot better than what gets served in most chains. Another first this visit was being given a room on the 1st floor - this wasn't a plus […] point as the water pressure in the bath was "normal", rather than the Niagra-like torrent in the ground floor rooms. Despite these two minor niggles, I wouldn't choose to stay anywhere else in Irvine. Read more

The Breakfasts were superb including the nice touc of Bottle of Bells by the Porridge. Full cooked breakfast including haggis two types of sausage mushrooms two types of bacon and beans and egg. Evening Dinner was also excellent. The water was boiling out of the taps at all hours.

Stayed here a number of times and always enjoy it. I don't normally get a chance to eat in the hotel restaurant, but I did this time and they again I found the quality of the food EXCEPTIONAL! Sadly, the hotel is getting a little run down. They closed the leisure pool a few years ago (it's still there - I peeked) as it needed refurbishment, and the […] bedroom furniture really needs a refresh too - but I WILL be back. Read more

The hotel is easily accessed from the main road, it has ample free parking with good sized spaces, so less chance of car door damage. Hotel staff were very friendly and efficient. The room was a fair walk from reception, to be honest that was my only issue. The room looked as though it had been recently decorated, the large bed was very comfortable. […] We ate in the Brasserie on our first night, the food was fantastic - rib eye steak was cooked really well. Breakfasts too were very nice. All in all we had a great stay and will be going back again soon. Read more

Could not eat in the restaurant due tl the restaurant noise of a band practising next door. Conversation was impossible. Arrived down for breakfastat 9.45 to be told that it had finished at 9.30 The guest information in the bedroom said it finished at 10th.00 Had no one told us it had been changed a few weeks before? Well, No!

Twin room converted into double. uncomfi! Otherwise nice hotel

Genuine Expedia guest review

I booked a 2 night breakaway that included room, breakfast and one dinner. The value of dinner, which can be taken in the restaurant or bar/lounge, (Convenient for watching sports on TV) was good, which covered the 3 course dinner and all bar meals. (NB food only - No drinks).The hotel was almost empty but the rooms were clean and very comfortable. […] Staff very friendly, courteous and genuinely seemed interested in me!The only grumble is that the hotel rooms are on two floors and if you request a quiet room there is a long long walk to the end corridor to the room.Otherwise a good hotel to use as a business base. I will certainly be coming back !! Read more

I've stayed at Menzies Irvine several times and having tried two others in the area I decided some time ago that the Menzies was the place for me. I'm disappointed that the old leisure pool is now closed, but it's still a lovely, comfortable hotel. On this visit, the hotel was almost empty which meant breakfast was on a "to order" basis rather than […] a buffet, but still very nice. I didn't have dinner on this occasion, but in the past I have eaten the best hotel meal I've ever enjoyed here, so do give the restaurant a go. Read more

NIce hotel, quite large open spaces with good seating dotted about.Friendly staff at check in and check out.For some reason, I had been given what appeared to be a familly room, which was huge !...and clean as always......I didn't have dinner, but the breakfast is well presented and cooked and I enjoyed it. It's always nice to have "real" coffee for […] breakfast and that's one thing that the Menzies hotels do which is good...Will be using again. Read more

We booked 2 rooms here. Original rooms were on 2nd floor and as soon as the receptionist saw that I was in crutches she changed room instantly without having to ask. Both rooms were clean and had everything that we required. We had our evening meal there which was lovely. We also had booked breakfast which had a good choice and catered for all out tastes […] as one was vegetarian. We found all the staff very pleasant and friendly and also very helpful. I would stay there again or recommend to anyone. Read more

The staff ate extremely helpful and friendly. The restaurant food is well above average, great service all around. Wireless connection was free (unlike travel lodge) and my dog stayed for free as well (unlike travel lodge!). I don't know how the Travel Lodge and Premier Inn in Ayr are surviving with this on their doorstep!

Restaurant average with small dinner portions. Breakfast good.

I always stay at Menzies Irvine when I am in the area and I wouldn't consider anywhere else. The staff are always friendly and helpfu, the Hotels.com rate was great and breakfast (compared with any other quality hotels) is a bargain. The one thing I miss is the old leisure pool and there are no gym or spa facilities either - but on a business trip I […] never really have time for them anyway. All I can say is "I'll be back".

We arrived at the hotel about 1am following our flight from Tenerife to Prestwick. There was no-one at the reception desk & had to wait for a good few minutes before someone turned up. The hotel has no lift & we had to carry our cases up the stairs, although we were offered help & our room was on the first floor. The room wasnt huge but was cosy & very […] nicely furnished with a large double bed & lots of pillows.The room had a heater which we used as the room felt a bit cool. The shower didnt work & when we phoned reception, the porter came up & showed us to another room. We enjoyed a lovely cooked breakfast in the morning. There was lots of choice including cereal fruit yogurts etc. Read more

We stayed at the hotel on a very good package deal and were very impressed by the helpfulness of all the staff we met. The food was very good, although service at dinner was a little slow (they were very busy that night). All in all a nice experience.

The only problem I had I was given two family rooms for two adults and two children but there was only three children and I was charged for four.

for 4 star accommodation, a bit disappointing; service was poor re pre dinner drinks (we clashed with a busload - however, hotel was aware of bookings) and then wine ordered for dinner took approx 10 mins to get to us; food was ordinary.A long walk to room - ok for me but hard on my mother; then had been given a key which didn't work and had to be returned […] - however, staff apologetic, friendly and able to help when asked for directions to ferry.

Hotel was fine, staff friendly and pleasant. Perhaps a tiny tiny bit jaded in places( decor furnishings beginning to show signs of wear).Room too hot as air con was broken but very quickly was supplied with a fan. Food good and plentyful. Will go back.

happy with the deal I got from you, as it was a last minute getaway. The hotelgave us disabled room, great for my husband. \Unfortunately the room was not that clean, needed a good spring clean I thought.!!

Stayed here just for a quick getaway with the hubby. Hotel was in a nice setting. Rooms very comfortable and clean although the carpet and some fiitings wwere a little tired. Nothing that would spoilt the experience. We booked the dinner, bed and breakfast option and it was excellent. The food and service in the brasserie were great. You choose from […] a three course daily menu which has something for everyone. Breakfast was buffet and again, the food was lovely. Would visit again. Read more

The hotel was fine and the staff very helpful, particularly Holly in the restaurant who helped me to solve a problem. The surprise was the quality of food in the restaurant: I did not expect much from an hotel where you could book the Half Board for such a small extra, but I was wrong as the food was delicius and of a very high standard.

We stayed at the Menzies over the Jubilee bank holiday weekend. There was an initial admin problem with the booking confirmation but this was soon rectified and the staff fell over themselves to assist. The breakfast was fine and had plenty of selection and again the staff were courteous and attentive. Room was comfortable and had plenty of space for […] our family of 4. My only slight grumble was the cost of drinks at the bar but in fairness this is probably in keeping with hotel prices the country over. I would certainly recommend the Menzies and will happily return there the next time i'm staying in Ayrshire. Read more

Beautiful room, bed and bathroom. Friendly staff and great bar.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We enjoyed our stay however there were a few minor points that did not meet with my standards of a 4 star hotel. The first one was no fan in bathroom or if there was no indication of how to use it. Second one was only 2 paperhankies in box in bathroom, i would expect a full box. Third one was black marks on wallpaper next to dressing table in plain […] view of any customers, not a good sign to see. Overall staff easy very pleasant and helpful. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

Hotel is ok but lacks soul, decor is tired and the room they stuck me in had a window that looked over the indoor pool. Sounds ok but the pool is no longer used and crumbling so the view was awful and pitch black so natural light coming into my room. If I had business in Irvine again in the future I would stay in another hotel as this place is overpriced […] for what you get. Read more

Everything from start to finish was great. Room comfortable, refreshments lovely. Food was outstanding. service unfaultable. We even had good weather. Left phone charger in room and was returned.

the staff were very friendly and helpful. Bar prices were a little inflated ( £2.95 for a pint of diet coke is not reasonable). Its not encouraging not drinking and driving and as I dont drink because of health reasons its discriminatry.

Genuine Expedia guest review

A great stay - staff were wonderful and helpful. I had a sore throat and the staff in restaurant went to extreme lengths to organise chamomile tea and options that would be easy to eat. - Thank you. The room was great (may be noisy on busy week days with busy road behind us) - just needed a few small maintenance issues which we left a note about in […] the hotel. Nice and spacious and the bed was good too. Had good night and would recommend it. Read more

Staff friendly and attentive. They didn't have a brand of drink that I asked for so they went out and got a bottle. Room basic but we were only staying one night. Family get together was well catered for and the food was very good. I am coeliac and they were excellent in changing menu items to suit. They had choices of gluten free cereals for breakfast […] as well as gluten free bread. Read more
