Shotts Leisure Centre

Conveniently located to train station

The room was clean and well stocked. The staff were excellent and very helpful. The location is good for walking to the train station, the bus station and to shops. However, there are many stairs to enter into the building. The staff assisted with the luggage on check-in and check out. The noise in the alley late at night and all through the night was extreme. I guess we were unlucky to get one of the rooms that the windows faced the alley. As the air conditioning was not working, our window was open so it was really loud from outside. The staff did supply a fan but it was too warm when the windows were closed. We were told that there were parts coming to fix the air conditioning. The remote control was missing from the bedroom TV. Also, we could not get hot water from the tap, only room temperature.

We booked our double superior room off Hotels.com and the room we received was small and cramped. The bathroom had a sink tucked into the corner behind a column and you could barely stand in front of it. There were only two hooks to hang things in there. The breakfast room was cheerful and they had a nice selection of hot and cold offerings. Beware! To get to the hotel you need to carry your luggage up two 5-6 flights of stairs. There isn’t a bellhop to assist. Would I stay here again? A big maybe.
