Angie at reception was lovely and very welcoming. I stayed in one of the first floor rooms - wasn't one of the new refurbished ones but it was still not a bad room. The bed was comfy and so I had a nice sleep. …

The photo on the booking site I used were ok and the price was good. However when I checked in for one night even though there was a double bed the room was tiny. …

Stayed dinner, bed and breakfast on a great priced deal. The hotel is being refurbished so is tired and run down in places. Our room was OK. Breakfast the first morning was something to be desired.... But this was due to a different chef on, as the following morning it was lovely. We had dinner in the bar downstairs, the food was lovely and we were entitled to 2 courses from the menu in with our room deal, though no atmosphere to stick around. All in all it was a fab offer though. The quaint village is 10 mins walk away if you want pubs, cobbled streets, and a good atmosphere.

Prices and location are good, especially compared to other places. Hotel has parking and a lift. It also has a bar and other amenities are close by including a good shopping centre. The room wasn't great due to toilet flushing very weakly and stains on ceiling. Also, water pressure in shower isn't great. I've stayed here a few times and the main thing that kept me coming back was the breakfast - all you can eat buffet style with many options. Unfortunately, that has changed to having to order it and the options are severely reduced.

Staff were extremely welcoming, nice and friendly. There was an issue with my booking however this was quickly resolved by the staff and I was upgraded to a superior room - the room was perfect and spacious. I enjoyed my 1 night stay at The Bruce and will most definitely be back.

The following is the letter sent by email to the Bruce Hotel which, unsurprisingly, has received no response. The matters will now be raised with UK Trading Standards, the Scottish Tourist Board and the UK consumer arbitration. …

This Hotel was quite the surprise. Not the prettiest building from the outside (in my opinion), but as you enter the Reception area, you will be pleasantly surprised! It was warm and friendly welcome by the lady on Reception. The gent who served me at the bar and the restaurant downstairs - The Hidden Keg - was also very friendly. Double room was perfect with the usual amenities you would expect in a hotel room. Bed was lovely and soft - asked for additional pillows and was given them without any fuss. I would highly recommend The Bruce Hotel.

Chose this hotel as we only had 1 spare night to get away due to work commitments and didn't want to go far. East kilbride is within 30 minutes from home and we got a good deal on the room at a little over £30 for the night and hotel on main ring road around the town centre shopping mall. wasn't expecting anything fancy. room basic and size of any regular household bedroom. decor a little shabby but there were signs up saying that a schedule of redecoration was in process so assume they hadn't got to ours yet.small bathroom with shower and storage/hanging area for clothes and cases. our outlook was across the roof / service yard of other buildings.the hotel does have a small car park underneath the building but it doesn't hold more than 20 cars and tight to turn if you have a larger car as it is only a single entrance/exitthere is a lift from car park to all floors but be careful on entry and exit as the doors close quite fast. when we arrived there was no dining facilities available (despite website saying now open for breakfast and showing dining menus). staff pleasant and helpful when asked questions, took our comments about lift doors and decor ok and pointed us in the right direction to access the shopping mall (this is less than 1 minute walk from hotel entrance)

Wish there was negative score option available.Shower was not working, complained, 3 days later room changed, was moved in to even a worse room, toilet wasn’t flushing & shower was worse than the first room.Complained again, reply was “oh we don’t check that, if it’s working or not”, we will change your room.Top it all up was the behaviour of the receptionist guy in the evening, in his opinion (in a supersonic tone) asking for viewing of the room they were going to put us in was “attitude problem”, so decided to check out there & then.Plz avoid at all cost, they don’t deserve your money.
