The Bay Horse

Go into Bay Horse which was a loud karaoke bar on a Sat night. Bartender told me to go across the street to check-in. Go across. They give me key and send me back to the bar and our room (newly renovated and clean enough) is above the bar. Floor was literally vibrating from the loud bass and singing directly below us. Left and found another hotel.

Clean and met minimum standards for its relatively cheap price. Tea and coffee in room. Spacious. Noisy, pub was rowdy until about 2330. As a sole female guest, i felt slightly concerned as a bouncer was on the pub door, on a Weds night! Supposedly due to horse racing taking place in Hamilton. Car parking was at an indian restaurant across the dual carriageway. The restaurant also provided check-in. Was unaware of this on arrival. Not made very clear on booking. Therefore had to phone the hotel contact number and drive back around to find the restaurant; inconvenient.Decorating was also of poor quality.

What a pleasant surprise as it was not what I expected. Check in across the road at an enticing Indian Restaurant - able to safely park car in the Restaurant Car Park - room was very clean, comfortable bed, great shower, larger than usual TV. Room looked out on a busy dual carriageway but noise limited by glazed window and noise from pub downstairs was bearable and ended at closing time. Pricing was incredible. Will definitely be back.

Simple and inexpensive place to stay the night. The check in was across the street--inconvenient if it is raining. The pub downstairs was kind enough to hold my luggage while I ran over. This place was very clean with plenty of hot water, fresh towels, an electric kettle with coffee/tea. It was warm and the window opened easily for a little ventilation. The television had multiple options and worked great. The internet, however, did not work, but that didn't inconvenience me. One thing--the pub downstairs has karaoke on Friday nights, and it's LOUD. Like shake the floors loud. If you are out late, or want to go downstairs and participate (very nice patrons and staff) it won't be a bother, but it was LOUD. There is a bus stop just outside where the 255 runs and will take you into central Glasgow.

A perfectly good stay. Good location for what we wanted and good price. Check in was a problem which with good comms should’ve been fine. So if you are staying - both parking and check-in are over the road in the “spice” restaurant. Our room was exactly the one in the picture. Basic, clean and did the job.

Pulled up at the bay horse on a very busy duel carriageway and was told we had to check in across the road at an Indian restaurant it was a difficult task then had to re cross the road with all our luggage and the dog we were given the wrong key and ended up in someone else’s room had to re cross the road twice again now it was feeling like a motorway tried to go into the bar downstairs for a drink as we had travelled over 200 miles to be told we could not go in as they were having a private party no mention of this when booking to top it off the noise was shocking until 3am at about 1.30 am there was a huge fight under our window there was a line of police cars and the language was atrocious so going to set off now over 200 miles with ver little sleep whilst the drunken revellers a probably having a good day in bed thanks folks

Be aware if booking that there is no parking on site. You have to go to another property on the other side of the dual carriageway to collect your key and park your car. This isn’t made clear in the listing. If like me you have a lot of work stuff to carry back to your accommodation, it isn’t really suitable. I tried to contact the owners numerous times and had no response. Hotels.com also tried to contact them numerous times regarding a refund but couldn’t get hold of them. I had to pay for another accommodation for the night.

No on-site reception. No information provided where to check in - it’s an Indian restaurant over road. Not very helpful. Main door to building didn’t lock. Felt very unsafe as the rooms are above a busy pub and door is in smoking area - pub has nothing to do with rooms. Very very loud, disco and karaoke until 3am so no sleep what so ever. AVOID this place as it’s horrendous and description of facilities etc are incorrect on Expedia eg. No a/c, no reception etc.

Karaoke bar right below room. It’s noisy. Apart from that is was good

Would have liked someone to show me were to go for key to get in and out didn't know were to get key from

The staffs are pretty helpful and nice. The room is not too bad but I can smell cigarette. I found hairs on the bed and pillow case before I laid on the bed.

Beds were put together but were to different heights. Shower was unusable as the shower head was absolutely disgusting. No wifi. Room had a bad odour. Had to wrestle with the door to get into the room. Bathroom door was damaged and wouldnt stay closed overall it has been the worst hotel stay i have ever had

Worst night I’ve ever had in a place. Hairs on pillows. Quilt had dirty marks. Blinds disgusting. Couldn’t turn radiator off (stuck on full the whole night). Turned taps on in bathroom and both were hot. Took a bit for cold water to come through.

Really enjoyed my stay , good pub and great friendly staff , nice and clean room , definitely stay here again

Had to go across the road to the Indian restaurant to check in/get keys. The room itself was basic, twin beds pushed together (which kept pulling apart) The radiators were the biggest issue. Even turning them to 1 or 'off' they stayed on and boiling to the touch all day! To sleep at night was near impossible as we had to keep the windows open at night due to the heat! But thanks to the storm the blind then banged on the wall in the wind! The screws on the floor between bathroom/room were slightly raised and caught our feet a few times! The end bed sheet was dirty (we didnt use it) The tv stations on sky were super limited and had so many channels not working. In a nutshell we would come back if only for the closeness to our destination

It was a nice ensuite room, it was clean but amenities were not good, TV was not working, Internet was slow. Although there were complementary tea and coffee was provided but the electric kettle was not working properly. Bathroom was clean and amenities were placed in. Overall it was not bad in such a low price.

It was a clean room with excellent bathroom and very comfortable beds. Pub below was a little noisy but that stopped and everything was a good nights sleep

This stay was perfectly fine on most points. Really. Stayed 2 nights. Nice and accessible from Hamilton West. First night fine. Nice staff welcome. Room perfectly nice to sleep in. Bathroom clean. Kettle and tea making materials. All good and just what was needed. Have stayed above pubs a lot and know what to expect generally. The first night was fine. Got to bed sometime before 12 and able to sleep well before work. Upon getting back on the 2nd night noticed some noise from below. That’s fine and completely understandable. Some sort of quiz night and a bit of chatter. Music etc. I put my iPad on, headphones etc. Things seemed to be winding down so got my head down. Then all of a sudden the music started really cranking up getting towards 11 O clock. Someone got on the mic - I actually like the tunes and the first vocalist had a fairly good voice. However the volume just kept getting louder and louder and louder. It was directly underneath and may as well been in the room. Other people with less ability and more alcoholic impairment got on the mic. This is at 11:30 by this point. It has gone from passable to really quite irritating and no idea of when it might stop. The main singer kept saying towards the last tune that it would be the last one and it was time to go. This happened about ten times. Each time there had been a pause and some quiet with a suggestion that all was finished. It stopped being funny at that point. Finally got to sleep by 1am. Shame!

We enjoyed our stay - the room was large and spacious, however it would have been helpful to have a small fridge. We stayed for the week but the first night seemed to be karaoke night, so it was on the loud side until about midnight All in all the space was great

Room was nice but noisy when window was open, not a great location above a closed pub but price was ok for 1 night

A convenient place to stay the night to break my journey from south of England to central Scotland. An unremarkable but adequate room in an unremarkable place. More noise (pub and traffic) than I'm used to

The only good thing was its proximity to my work!!! I was placed in a room over the bar with live music playing til 0001. I had no temote for my TV it was requested on the first night but never received. I certainly WILL NOT stay there again.

Room was freezing heating was shut off. Radiator wouldn't work

The owners changed the locks during my stay. They key they gave me didnt work. My passport and all my personal belongings were locked in the place and there is no one who will answer your calls past 9ish. It made me feel terrified that i would be sleeping on the streets that night. I had to shove my arm through through the mail slot and use a stick to unlock it from the outside. I left two terrified crying voicemails begging them for help. Its 2 days later and I have heard nothing from them. I left a night early and opted to sleep in the airport. Never will stay here under any circumstances ever again

After a breakdown we arrived very late. The owner made arrangements to leave keys for us and made sure we knew where to park.

The Worst hotel communication we ever had We lost one night and had to pay another hotel

Ideal if working this area reasonably priced.

Room was nice but noisy when window was open, not a great location above a closed pub but price was ok for 1 night
