The staff was amazing! very friendly 😁
Staff very friendly and helpful
Plenty parking, clean and tidy environment and short walk from the kelpies, would stay there again
Was really handy for commuting we stayed over one night fr a wedding.room was clean and tidy , Staff were lovely and very well arranged early check in too , bathroom had mould in shower but all in a was good 😊
Ladies on reception were 1st class and very helpful. Rooms were clean and comfy, parking excellent. Great stay and close to The Helix tourist attraction.
The front desk ladies that we dealt with WERE AMAZING. I was near breakdown, ready to cry, and she talked me off the ledge. The location is super inconvenient unless you have a car. We ended up renting a car and it made a world of difference. The staff was so helpful and happy to help tho. The property was clean but it was loud AF and the bed was hard as rock. Light also came in everywhere and there was one in the bathroom that we couldn’t make go off so sleep mask was used and ear plugs.
We arrived here around 3.00 am following a later flight into Edinburgh. Checking in was straight forward. Room was everything we needed for an overnight stay with a very comfortable bed. Appreciated the big bathroom and roomy shower. We asked if we could check out at noon instead of 11.00 am in view of the fact we would have had so little sleep and they said we could which helped us immensely as we had a long drive home that day.
Great location to the horses.
Amazing place in the middle of the countryside. Very close and not far from the kelpies. Quiet and justwhat.we needed. Thankyou, definitely be back.
the staff were exceptionally polite and friendly and explained the property and local amenities. the rooms were spotless and there was a communal kitchenette that was a bonus. on a morning there is a snack van 200yards from the front door which was good food and price. It is a bit out but as a result it was very quiet and a very short walk down to The Kelpies. It is also smack bang next to the main motorway network and you do not here a thing. All four of us in separate rooms agreed we would stop here again
Great service from the staff, great value, an all round good stay.
Great affordable alternative location to Edinburgh for access and daily travel to areas around the area.
Good location for seeing The Kelpies and The Falkirk Wheel, but in quite an industrial area. It was a quiet area and the room was very clean and comfortable.
No food
A short walk to the kelpies. It was warm at night even with the windows open could do with fans in room
Only a short walk to the kelpies, which is great. Close to walk or short drive somewhere for something to eat. The hotel was lovely and clean and staff were really helpful and polite. The room was lovely and spacious, the beds were comfy and had a lovely shower in the morning. Tea and coffee facilities provided in the room. Despite being in a built up area, it was quiet. Had to ask for a hairdryer as their not left in the room, but absolutely no problem getting one and I handed it back in on the way out. If you want something local to the Kelpies I would recommend it.
I've stopped here a few times now, clean and comfortable rooms, the Staff are so friendly and helpful.
Perfect location for the Helix park in Falkirk. The stunning Kelpies within walking distance and a short drive to the Falkirk Wheel. The hotel is located on a business park and the nearest restaurant (which was excellent) is Cooks bar and restaurant about 20 minutes walk or a few minutes drive. The hotel is clean and modern, reception staff friendly and helpful. The only downside, the double bed is on the small side.
Nice welcome at reception were able to check in earlier than stated on booking as room was ready. Advisd kitchen had fridge and microwave if we wished to use them. Room was very clean bathroom looked like had been refurbished lovely sized shower cubicle. Bath sheets and hand towels changed daily on our stay. Bed was a double but small we are used to king size but it was confortable. A little moise in mornings due to location on an industrial estate but an ideal spot for the short walk 6 minutes to the kelpies. Reception and house keeping staff were helpful and pleasant. Would use again if visiting this area.
Such friendly staff. Very informative. High spec fittings in room: exceptionally clean.
Lovely clean place and staff were lovely very helpful and friendly, definitely recommend even though it’s on an industrial state area don’t let that put you off it, it’s lovely and quiet and loads of rabbits around at night so that shows how peaceful it is
Basic hotel 25 minutes from the Edinburgh airport front desk was friendly and helpful.
No restaurant or bar on site. Bed and pillows not particularly comfortable but everything clean and staff friendly and helpful.
Welcome from staff exceptional
Ok
Room was well equipped and very clean. Stay was on a very warm night so needed the windows open for ventilation. However there was a pungent smell from outside, (industrial estate?) not sure from where but not very pleasant. Also the room was close to a large bin and the lid clattered loudly every time the staff placed rubbish in it. Apart from this, nice hotel
We booked for two nights to see the Keplies and Falkirk Wheel. The hotel is only a few minutes walk to the Keplies, The Premier Lodge is situated on an industrial estate so there aren’t any facilities nearby but we found Bruce’s Taxis very reliable. The staff at the hotel were extremely friendly and efficient and couldn’t be faulted. As it seems to be aimed at contractors and visitors to the industrial estate there are good kitchen facilities for self catering if required. The main problems we encountered were a lack of soap holder in the shower (a pet hate of mine). As we were on the ground floor G4 it would have been nice to have something like net curtains to the windows to let in light whilst ensuring privacy from the car park and adjacent businesses. There were no power sockets above the bedside cabinets which would have been nice and fairly easily installed as there’s a half covered socket near the headboard to feed them from. On the first night we were woken abruptly by a loud noise from a factory nearby but that’s just down to location. All in all it was a positive stay and I would have rated it five star with some fairly cheap amendments.
Will definitely stay here again, hotel in a random industrial estate; seems odd, but it’s great! It’s so quiet, McDonald’s and M&S just a 3 minute drive away, room is so clean, biscuits and a kettle; what more could you want! Lovely lady on reception desk who is so helpful and friendly, honestly, really surprised at how good it is here!!
Nice and clean with friendly staff. Also a bit of a kitchenette for everyone to use was handy. Didn’t like that it was away from the town
Good hotel - would definitely recommend
room not as described, didn’t let me get 2 beds like i wanted, didn’t accept amex
This is a good basic hotel . It is in an industrial area but you can walk to the Kelpes . The price is good the staff very helpful and friendly
The hotel is lovely and the staff is very friendly and helpful. However, this property is surrounded by industrial buildings. Gulls are very loud and make a lot of noise late into the night and again early in the morning. Be aware when staying here if you're a light sleeper that you will most likely be woken up by them.
This was a simple no fuss overnight stop for us. Staff very friendly & helpful. A great location, withan easy walk to the Kelpies.
We like this hotel, some rooms are small but others are massive and so clean and tidy. Every time we come the staff are always welcoming and inviting.
It was clean and in a quiet area.
Never been here before and was surprised how good it was. Staff very polite and welcoming well worth the stay.
Basic but clean room, friendly staff, close to Kelpies etc.
Convenient for Kelpies, lots of parking space and very safe.
Staff at reception desk were very pleasant and helpful and very knowledgeable about the area
A great budget hotel. As a female on my own I didn’t feel the safest. Lots of noise from outside smoking area. My bathroom also smelt of smoking too. Not sure I would revisit. Not the worst but not the best.
The receptionist I think Katya… was exceptional…. The room was lovely… just no good for someone in a wheelchair. As the disabled room was booked… only one disabled room out of hundreds is ridiculous in this day and age…. My husband couldn’t use the toilet, the shower. And couldn’t access the sink with the wheelchair, so couldn’t even wash his face….. unbelievable….
Very friendly and helpful staff. Spotless and had everything we needed and more for the short stay.
A great base to explore Falkirk. Friendly, helpful staff. Comfy bed. Could have done with AC in the room but other than that it was great.
Lovely clean hotel, seems fairly newly built. Room was spotless. 15 minute walk to the Kelpies and 15 minute drive to the Wheel.
Very convenient for walking to The Kelpies. Both the toilet roll holder and the sink tap both needed tightening up. Staff were pleasant and most helpful.
Nice hotel, but, in an industrial park.
No bar or restaurant but good value, clean and comfortable
This is a really convenient and good hotel in a great location for us. I have people staying there on a regular basis and they all say its a good hotel.
Basic but clean friendly staff no bar or restaurant however good advice on restaurant within walking distance great location for Kelpies and Falkirk \Wheel
Friendly and welcoming reception. Room was clean, bed was comfortable, shower pressure excellent.
The room size is greater than the size stated in hotel.com. The bathroom has comfortable hot water shower.
Really wonderful stay and helpful staff..I recommend this property
Staff was very friendly.
Use this location at least once a month, never any problems and is always my first choice.
Smokers congregating around entrance and being noisy ie for rooms in close proximity till late in the evening.
Great stay lovely staff although on an industrial estate it was safe and quiet. A great location for all we wanted to see
Amazing prices, super nice staff and very clean. Quiet and comfy.
Good and quiet are very close to famous kelpies. I defo will return here.
It’s on an industrial estate
Stayed here for one evening whilst at a concert. Can not fault the reception staff member, Katja. She was very helpful in giving us directions, calling a taxi and overall just very friendly. Security guard at night Ian was an absolute gem, he found our extra requests which we asked for (fan and extra pillow) and kept them for us coming back. Hotel smelt very clean and had everything we needed.
Tidy rooms on a quiet industrial estate, 10 mins walk from the Kelpies Statues , no food available but 10 min walk to McDonald's and 20min to a pub with food! Easy to find off the A9
Ideal for going to Kelpies/Helix Park but further away from town so either be able to drive or use local taxi
Needed to break my journey on a trip further north and this was ideal enabling me to visit the Falkirk Wheel and the Kelpies which are literally a five minutes walk away. Very friendly reception and spotless and comfortable room. Perfect
Great for couple of nights staff excellent very helpful got taxi no from staff kelpie Cabs great service
Outside area in industrial estate unprepossessing. Once inside, total change. Very nice
Friendly and helpful staff. Very clean and modern interior. Spacious room with great shower. One of the best budget hotels I have stayed in.
Great front desk service
Yes was very good bit out of the way
Location is in an industrial area but building is fresh and new. Very clean. Kettle, snacks, tea etc in room. Very near the Kelpies. 10 minute walk to McDonald's which has a petrol station, grocery store and cafe next to it. 15 minute walk to Cooks Bar and Kitchen which is very good but very busy. You will need a reservation but the front desk staff at the Premier will book for you. In fact, staff are very friendly and super helpful. They will even lend you umbrellas. Very nice stay.
Close to the kelpies but nothing else
Nice clean hotel with the best staff.
It was only a short walk to the Kelpies
A little pricier to say breakfast is not included, however I can recommend Crntral Perk in Falkirk
cannot praise the staff at this establishment enough they made our stay truly exeptional.
Whatever made them decide to put a hotel in the middle of an industrial site? Sure, it’s quiet after 4:30, but it starts noisy again at 6:00 am. No food provision at all and there is nothing close enough to have anything. The staff are lovely though, room is tidy too, spacious and there is a kitchen with microwave you can use
Lovely clean reasonably priced comfortable rooms. A short walk from the Kelpies. Has a microwave downstairs near reception with a seating area that has tables and a tv where people can eat and enjoy time together. We really appreciated the microwave it’s so handy when tired from a busy day and you don’t want to eat out! Makes me wonder why more hotels don’t do this!
Being that a good night sleep is my priority when travelling I’ll just let others know it was a very hard bed with very thin pillows. For me that resulted in significant pain and a poor nights sleep. An exhaust fan in the bathroom would be a good addition. There is a kitchenette on the ground floor which was handy. The lady at checkin was lovely :)
First time in a premier lodge. Excellent one night stay. Reception girl was 10/10. Very welcoming + helpful. Our room was tidy+spotlessly clean. Would definitely recommend if you need one or two night stay. We stayed there for going to The Kelpies and we could walk from Lodge.
Amazing friendly staff, very clean, nice quiet area within easy walking distance to the kelpies. Would definitely stay here again.
The staff were outstanding, friendly and very helpful. It was a great place to stay for what wd wanted, loved it. Room was immaculste
Chosen for its location as sightseeing The Kelpies and Falkirk Wheel. Susan on Reception very Friendly and Helpful. No frills accommodation. Spotlessly clean.
From check in to check out great service. We really appreciate all the help from Susan. Very friendly and helpful. Will stay here again.
Inexpensive overnight stay. Free parking and good access to roads. Nice walks around area. Reception very helpful and small self catering area available. Local restaurants nearby.
Sehr gut.
This is an excellent location for kelpies. Ask receptionist for directions because there is a short cut. Nearest restaurant is McDonald’s which is about a 15 minute walk away. This stay is ideal for 1 night to break a long journey up.
One of the better budget hotels. Rooms were spotless, beds quite firm and friendly staff. Decent, powerful shower. Not sure if this was intentional or not but one of the bathroom lights remained on at a lower intensity to provide a night light feature. Handy if you have small kids that need that reassurance. It has handy communal fridges and microwaves for guests to use. It is within walking distance of the Kelpies and the Falkirk Stadium. Dislikes. It is in the middle of an industrial estate. The surrounding roads are poor and the views from the windows were of industrial units. That said, we weren't paying for a good view. The smoke alarm had the brightest green LED in the world! No curtains, just roller blinds. These did not keep out all the daylight. All that said, it would be my preferred choice of hotel on flying visits.
Staff were all very friendly and very helpful , hotel was very clean
Would highly recommend. Room and bathroom size was excellent, super clean in all areas. Staff really helpful and friendly and excellently placed for the Kelpies and other tourist attractions. It doesn’t offer breakfast but there’s a kitchen with a microwave etc and plenty of take away menus. Great place
A small walk to the kelpies and short drive to other things of interest. The room was clean and a nice size. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was a pleasure to stay here thank you.
Very close to kelpies, nice clean rooms, quiet, slept well. Very friendly staff
Great straight forward hotel. I was looking for somewhere clean and reasonably priced for an overnight trip. Staff were very pleasant, friendly and helpful. It doesn’t have a bar or breakfast etc but if you are needing somewhere to stay while working or on a journey, this is excellent.
Stayed in room 120 Slept like a baby😀 Great clean hotel with friendly reception staff!!
A nice lovely big room & bathroom too, friendly staff. Nice & quiet & very clean
Handy for the Kelpies. Accommodation basic but satisfactory. No food offeted but alternatives nearby.
Amazing stuff. Good facilities, very nice and clean.
Wilma the receptionist was amazing, warm and friendly . Thank you
Always so good when we are doing a Knockhill Racing weekend. Staff are great and hotel is very accomodating for your needs also. Hot chocolate is BRAW.
Friendly staff it was a little strange at first because it was so quite when we checked in and the fact it was in the middle of an industrial estate but the location was actually great since the kelpies where just a 2 min walk from the hotel
Good hotel, really clean and not too far away from food outlets Good internet too
