My boyfriend and I visit this hotel each month staying for a period of between 2 and 4 nights…read more In terms of location, this hotel is only 20 minutes from Glasgow City centre and five minutes from Strathclyde Park. The hotel itself is situated at one end of the Hamilton Towers retail and leisure development in Hamilton town centre, surrounded by outlets such as: - Next - Vue Cinemas - Chiquito (The best in the area - check it out!) - Asda Having been a guest here for the first time last year (2014) I can see the improvements this hotel has continued to make over time, with new tv's, mattresses etc introduced in the last 6 months alone! The bathroom was clean and well-maintained, with a good-quality shower (plenty hot-water) and modern fixtures. The towels were soft and clean, with two bath sheets and two hand towels waiting in the room on arrival (though more can be requested from reception and delivered promptly). My only issue was that the shower curtain in the room didn't have enough hooks holding it up on this occasion, so I found myself rearranging the hooks to ensure the curtain didn't present a minor trip-hazard (entirely forgivable and insignificant). Standard offering of tea, coffee and kettle are present in the room - refilled each day with housekeeping. An alternative selection is available in the Hotel Lobby beside reception - hot chocolate, coffee variants etc. Breakfast is served in the hotel's Great Room, with scrambled eggs, sausages, muffins (I wish they'd bring back the Danish pastries), toast, croissants, cereals, yoghurt, fruit and a selection of accompaniments alongside. The hotel breakfast - while simple - offers a decent way to save a few pennies! I personally prefer to book a family room, as this offers a more comfortable environment for an extended stay (as has been the case where I've opted to tag on additional nights) with sofa, comfortable bed and a nice view out over the park. The staff are fantastic and will go out of their way to provide superb customer service - a component where some other hotels fall short. I'd struggle to identify a time where the colleague working at reception has failed to meet my request - even at the last minute! That positive, can-do attitude has gained my loyalty as a customer and left me feeling confident that I am valued as an individual and not just one of many guests. During my most recent visit, the hotel accommodated our request of a room overlooking the park with two separate bookings highlighted to ensure that we would not be asked to switch room between nights. When we arrived we were greeted and offered complementary drinks (as we are IHG Gold members) and as the stay included my birthday, the young colleague at the reception filled a bucket with ice so that my partner could place champagne on ice while we got settled. The tiniest of actions can help transform any stay and the atmosphere in this hotel certainly helped us relax!

I went to dinner and booked the room, so if you want a room in short notice NEVER walk into the building, book first. The room was clean and comfortable, very spacious but hearing that their company policy is turning people away at the door who may need a place to sleep was to me very unhelpful and rather pathetic. I have never been to this hotel since and would probably never go again.

I went here with my family for Christmas dinner. £65 per head for one of the worst meals I've ever…read moreeaten. The starter was fine, but very small portions. The main was a pathetic impression of a school lunch, with about half the love and attention given. Dry beef and completely undercooked veg, left a lot to be desired. Desert was not terrible, though I imagine the chef had as little to do with these as possible, as they were most likely frozen. The wait staff were an even split, with some being friendly, but the majority being disinterested or even downright rude. I can understand the misery of working Christmas day, but you don't have to ruin it for everyone else. I wouldn't waste my money here again.

This used to be one of the best places to eat À la carte in Hamilton, there was a time where the…read morefood and service was second to none and you had to book ahead in order to get a table. Sadly, after having visited three times in the last 2 weeks, I would have to say that the standards are clearly slipping in this once fine establishment. Now you can just turn up on spec and you are guaranteed a table, the dining room is nearly always more than 50% empty, even on Mothers day when we went on Sunday night. The biggest disappointment of the Mothers day visit, was that they had replaced the normal À la carte menu with a fixed menu of the day which comprised of little more than pub grub, but with À la carte prices. We were not informed at the time of booking that the regular À la carte menu would not be available on Mothers day, what a disappointment it was for a table of 8, there wasn't even anything on the fixed menu for the children to eat. It was so bad, we got up and left. On the previous 2 occasions, orders were just simply wrong, staff were then rude and unhelpful in trying to correct matters, some of the food was cold, honestly you would expect a better standard of service at a burger joint, definitely not what you expect from an À la carte hotel restaurant. The hotel side of the business still seems popular enough, no doubt in part because of it's prime location in the town, but if your looking for a nice À la carte meal and don't want to be disappointed, then I would suggest you look else where and avoid this once great place, shame really.

We decided to have dinner at the Moorings for a change. It was quiet, so quiet. And as it turns…read moreout, there's a reason for that. My chilli nachos had no chilli, but were very greasy, salty and they'd managed to melt the outside edge of the grated cheese and mould the rest into a lump of cheddar. Very unpleasant. My wife's chicken wings were no better, but her steak frite was nice apparently. However my burger was raw, and needed to be replaced with one which was medium at best. Medium steaks are fine, but not processed meat. The Moorings pricing isn't exactly competitive either. So they can't afford to be messing it up with what's put in the plate. It's not expensive, but at these prices you expect better. They kindly subtracted the starters from the bill, but of course by then it's too late. Yes, there's a reason it's quiet.

I am giving the Moorings 4 stars mainly because of how beautiful it is outside. When I drive past I…read morealways look and think, man that would be a nice house. Just to set the record straight, it is not a house, it is quite mansion like, with ivy growing all over the wall, in a nice way. At night the uplighters go on too and it is just gorgeous. I have been here for dinner and it has nice ambiance, quite like a guest hotel in somewhere rural, so yes tartan can be found in various areas. I would go again, but personally I prefer the big cities rather than the cosy country feel. Meals are averagely priced although verging on expensive side, depending what you get exactly.

It's a bit of a tardis, it looks like a old Victorian sandstone house from the front, but it expands back and to the side - a lot. We walked through the nicely-appointed and bright housey bit, the bar, and into the large, smart, dimly-lit restaurant. We were greeted pleasantly and shown to our table. The A la Carte menu looked pretty appetising and I went for Scallops with Black Pudding to start and the Chilli Chicken & Chorizo Stir Fry for the main, Miss Nibs went all old-school and had a Classic Prawn Cocktail and Beef Stroganoff. The scallops came quickly and were extremely creamy, almost slightly undercooked for my taste, but good, the plate covered in a honey, lemon and chilli glaze in a lattice pattern. Pretty good start I thought. My partner's prawn cocktail was nice also. The mains came in good time too, and she enjoyed the beef stroganoff. She eats quickly and this leads on to the next point. Both my dad and myself eat less quickly, and by the time I was even close to finishing my plate the food was cold, why, well because the plate it was served on hadn't been warmed. Bit of a cardinal sin that! As father said the sign of a disorganised kitchen? The stir-fry itself was served with too much rice, and to be honest given the fact there was chilli AND chorizo in it, it lacked zing and was a bit insipid, it was not unpleasant, but not the fire-breathing torture fest I was hoping for. We had a nice pint in the bar afterwards. Would I go back? For sure. Was it great? No it was pretty decent. Gotta be a three overall.

I visited the Angels hotel tonight for dinner with my wife and our four friends and as I hadn't…read moreeaten all day after a 12 hour working day I was looking forward to my dinner and my company, unfortunately the company was the only good thing about the night. My starter arrived which was beef satay and straight away I spotted a hair in my meal but as I was out with some good friends I hadn't seen for a while I just asked for the serving staff to take it away and let my friends finish there starters. The manager came out and asked if he could get me anything else and I tried to be understanding and told him it was fine and I would just try my main meal when it arrived and when it did it looked great madera chicken with mash and veg and so I started to tuck in and if the first instance wasn't enough r there at the bottom of my plate was another two hairs stuck to my plate. This is the worst experience I have suffered at a restaurant ever and my friends all stooped there meals also. I strongly suggest you avoid this restaurant for your own health and safety as this to me is just scratching the surface of the real issues in the kitchen here. If I could have give the place negative stars I would.

This place has very fond memories for me. My gran use to work here on reception and as children we…read morewent to visit her frequently and the staff were always very good with us. Since being an adult I have been back a few times and the building still holds very good memories. The hotel is an old mill and in the restaurant they have a glass floor and as you eat from the great menu you can watch the wheel turn the water beneath you, this is not something you get in many restaurants, and it's a nice change. The building itself is very old and I love places like this. They offer some cook traditional British food on the menu. The restaurant is on the river bank and you could be mistaken for believing you are no longer in Mother well, if you are looking for a break this is the place to visit.

For this reason I was looking forward to having Christmas Lunch here, however, I was sadly disappointed. The food was served and the presentation left a lot to be desired. In fact the soup was the best where presentation was concerned. Looking forward to it I took my first mouthful on to discover it was burnt. Clearly the chef hadn't tasted this before it came out to paying customers! The main course was served on cold plates - turkey dinner consisting of one small sausage and a taste of stuffing on a plate with a couple of slices of turkey covered in gravy. Not even hot desserts were served on heated plates. Overall I was sadly disappointed with my Christmas meal - not good value for money.

I have never stayed here so wouldn't dare comment on the rooms or the service and so this review is off the bar alone, which itself is pretty good - small quiet and cosy, with an excellent beer garden. The Bothwell Hotel is a real homing point come a sunny day. Literally everyone ends up here, drinking cider on the grass, swatting away the bees and wondering how on earth we can be bothered with the wind and the rain we are normally lumbered with here in Glasgow. It's been here for years too which gives it a real sense of itself. It was formally known as the Country Club - most people, including myself, still call it this.
