Falkirk (Larbert) hotel

This review is written by a septuagenarian. The booking process was completed online via the Premier Inn App; Check-in and Payment. No problems encountered. Friendly, efficient and informative welcome at Reception. The human touch! Room well appointed - quiet, even with the window open. And this is the end of September in Central Scotland. Actually a family room with a connecting door but still quiet except for a single ‘bang’ as if something was being emptied outside on the Monday morning. Around 07:00h. Didn’t really bother me - I was already emerging from the Land of Nod and I just ignored it. Lovely bathroom. I opted for a bath both mornings; easy to control water temperature. Easy to turn on and turn off tap with wet hands and a quick-filling bath. And the mirror didn’t steam up. Wash hand basin water temperature seemed impossible to control. Cold or scaldingly hot with nothing in between! Bath fine, as described. Comfy bed and the spare single bed (unmade) served as a chaise longue for me - the single occupant. Very small breakfast room with a breakfast bar facility. Accommodated the clientele adequately whilst I was there. The inn may serve lorry drivers and the like. I sat at a table both mornings and enjoyed my standard breakfast (which obviates the need for lunch) of sausage, bacon, eggs and mushrooms. I must point out that fried eggs were not available when I ate breakfast on the the morning of my departure - Tuesday. An oversight? The scrambled eggs were fine! Other wholesome breakfast food is available and the drinks machine served up a tasty Americano coffee with milk on the Monday morning. Well - two coffees actually! With a ‘pain au chocolat’. Yummy! Both mornings! Complimentary tea/coffee with UHT available in the room with more available at Reception. No biscuits! The healthier option! Freeview TV but not programmed to the latest channels. Channel 81 (Rewind TV) unavailable and guests capable of retuning the TV are viewed as incompetent and the option of retuning is rendered unavailable to guests. I understand why but dilatory staff or dilatory “organisation”? Pleasing violet night light along the top of the headboard and on the morning of departure I noticed something on the shelf by the side of the bed. An obvious outline of where my bedtime reading had sat. Conclusion? Whoever was supposed to be dusting wasn’t! I’m a widower and I don’t dust a lot so I was amused. Other clients might not be so forgiving. In summary? I enjoyed this stay at Premier Inn_Larbert immensely but prices vary so ridiculously I decided to stay only two nights. I would like to stay longer in the future since my relatives live in Glenbervie Drive. But who likes to be ripped off? Even if one can afford it! Think of the dust in the room!

The hotel manager Martin, highly excels in his position. He went above and beyond to ensure our stay went smoothly and was very professional and approachable. Thanks Martin, you are an asset to the business, I wish all hotel managers executed the same level of customer service as you do, the professionalism you showed was next to none. Thank you.

Stayed here very recently and could not fault it. Yes, as others have said, it is a little dated, but it was clean and comfy and had everything we needed. The staff were wonderful, in particular Denise on the front desk, so welcoming and friendly, made us feel valued as customers. We had the best night's sleep of our entire Scottish road trip. Breakfast was lovely and plentiful and we would definitely stay here again. Also ideally situated for the Kelpies and the Falkirk Wheel attractions. Next door eatery, The Bruce, was also fab, great quality and value for money.

Whilst touring with my wife we wanted a one night stay to visit Falkirk wheel and The Kelpies. Ideal location , plenty of parking, no issues with the room or breakfast. The staff we had interaction with were all friendly and helpful. Even the restaurant adjacent to hotel (which i gather is no longer connected to the hotel) whilst not a place you might tell someone "you must eat here", there was nothing wrong with the food/service IMO. Basically, the hotel provided just what we wanted for the night.

Very dated, in the middle of an industrial park, didn't see the grounds of the golf course that was mentioned on the description. Old tired rooms, very small family room compared to the other premier inns I have stayed at. The bathroom was the worst part, it stank of sewers/stale urine and despite spraying the room is still stank. The pillows were flat and rock hard, even the spare pillows. I hardly slept as it was so uncomfortable and had a very sore neck. I had some allergic reaction to what I imagine was dust or dust mites. I would not recommend and would not return.
