Right next to the football stadium and a big park it's a great view. The rooms are very clean and you're welcomed in straight away. The restaurant is amazing. The food is top notch and good value for money too. We paid less than what a premier Inn costs

We stayed at the Park hotel in East Ayrshire, Kilmarnock from 25-28 August. This wonderful hotel with friendly and helpful staff is located adjacent to the Kilmarnock Football stadium. The hotel restaurant provides a wide variety of options for dining pleasure. Don’t forget to order dessert with either a cappuccino or a latte. Julie and Adam Peters, Oklahoma

I stayed for one evening, and had an evening meal but no breakfast. The Gnocchi I had was really good, nice and hot, and the sundae was also really nice. Nice spacious room. Would definitely recommend.

I enjoyed a really pleasant 1 night stay at the Park Hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful, giving me advice on restaurants in town and booking a taxi for me. The room was of good size and the bed was huge. Particularly nice touches in the room: getting a robe, slippers, various teabags/coffee pods & Borders biscuits. Big car park and a fast EV charger round the side of the building. I would visit again!

I had to book a conference room for a work event and the staff were amazing and professional, both before and during the event, and it couldn't have gone better, thanks to them.

We really enjoyed our stay even with it being just one night. We had a spacious room with good amenities. Great pillows, something that most properties forget about. Very helpful and friendly staff and a good breakfast the next morning. We plan to come back and stay longer next time. Really pleased we found you.
