Not worth what they charge

Parking charge is a joke. Can park anywhere else in the area for free. They charge £6.50 per day so our overnight stay cost £16 as the site you need to use charge a service charge. We arrived at 6pm and left next morning at 11am. They are severely short staffed which made breakfast a very disappointing experience. Had to search for cutlery, take condiments off other tables, queue for plates and also queue and a lengthy wait for food to be replenished and it was only 9am. We had a superior room with sea view with a very impressive large window. Down side to this original feature was the wind howled through all night. The bed was comfortable and room was clean. Can’t say the same about all the tables in restaurant as there wasn’t enough staff to keep on top of it. Many guests were saying the same. We weren’t asked how our stay was at check out or I would have fed these observations back. On our arrival home, I contacted the hotel via 2 different platforms and we are oe on day 4 and still no response. Definitely not worth the money or the stress at breakfast.

Too hot in the room on a warm day

This was my second visit during the week to this hotel, the first stay was in a premium double room and then this stay was in a more budget single room, it was a warm summers day. I opened the room to be hit by the heat coming from the bathroom, sadly the bathroom window handle was broken and could not be opened, the bathroom also had a large hot water pipe along the wall that was not insulated, thus it just radiated heat into the room, I think this was the mains supply for the entire floor. The only other window in the bedroom could only be opened by a couple of centimetres, so not great for a warm night.

BEDBUGS! AVOID!

I checked into the Portpatrick Hotel for a two-night stay from August 1st to 3rd, and unfortunately, it turned out to be a nightmare from the start. On the first night, I discovered bedbugs in the room. I was promptly moved, but the new room appeared to be an area not typically open to guests. The room lacked basic essentials: no bed sheets, no pillowcases, a visibly dirty duvet, and no duvet cover at all. I was then moved again, only to be told the following morning that we had to vacate the room because it had been double-booked. This led to a fourth move during our short stay. The issues didn’t stop there… the shower in the final room didn’t work. While one of the presumed managers was quite rude and dismissive, the night porter, who remained attentive and genuinely tried to help resolve the ongoing issues. Overall, I would not recommend the Portpatrick Hotel based on this stay. As the harbour house and the waterfront hotel are much more reliable options for overnights in Portpatrick. A Serious review of housekeeping and management practices is clearly needed.

Room was basic and not what we were expecting for the price. Shower needs modernising and door between bedroom and bathroom needed fixing. TV very small. Much of the cooked breakfast was cold. You have to pay to park in the hotel car park even if you are a guest.

Friendly staff but dated hotel

Check in staff was amazing. We got in later than expected but was accommodation for the silly hour of arrival. Room 2 was damp smelling like a wet dog. Bed could do with a new mattress. The room was run down and dusty around the floor.

Impressive 100 year old hotel sitting on top of the hill. Very good value, clean and great staff. However, walls were thin, my neighbour turned on their tv at 05:45am every morning and when they ran their bath it sounded like roadworks with the pipes vibrating. Great value though and Staff were pleasant and very helpful.
