We were here for a christening and the staff were attentive without constantly interrupting you. I only ever noticed them at the bar without them being constantly at the tables but everything was sorted.The food at the buffet was excellent and there was plenty of it. The facilities were excellent. I'd definitely recommend this place.

My daughter and I went for an impromptu dinner out. We were served by Caitlin and her colleagues - they couldn't have been friendlier or more accommodating and the food was very tasty and reasonably priced. Nice variety of music and a great atmosphere - especially impressive given it was a Monday evening! Would definitely recommend The Parkville and we shall be returning.

We had a lovely welcome promptly shown to our table, drink order came very quickly,main courses ordered also came very quickly. However ordered our desserts waited half an hour still no dessert, spoke to the waiter he did apologise and brought us the bill with no reason for the delay in desserts.A nice experience but unfortunately tainted at the end.

Excellent Sunday dinner and very reasonably priced. 2 courses for £16 can’t argue with that. Roast beef dinner was very nice. Steak pie was also great. Staff very friendly and attentive. Selected meals are 2 for 1 weekdays - we will definitely be back.

As previous visits could not fault the attentive staff who made sure we were never left wanting.Shared starter was excellent and our main courses, my wife had the scampi and I opted for the steak pie which were both warm and tasty. Only comment I would make is a lady adjacent ordered the small steak pie and seemed to be served with a slightly bigger portion of steak pie than my standard portion. Strange.

Best hotel to stay in at Hamilton with fine bar & resto, recommend that you rent a car to see more of city centre, etc. With the price you pay here is the comfort and cleanliness of the hotel - breakfast not inclusive.Super clean, quiet and comfortable bed.The check-in staff, restaurant staff and cleaner were very accommodating & helpful like suggesting best places in the centre. Definitely will recommend to my family friends.Bus stops right in front of hotel though took an hour to city center. Else the nearest train was not available during our stay for 6 days.The room no. 5 had a tiny corner basin/sink almost struggling to wash face or brush our teeth without splashing water on floor. That would need an upgrade and mirror in the bathroom was higher than 5 feet.Suggestion: Hallway carpet is heavily dusty/filthy, maybe remove or change.Also room had a bright green light (light for fire exit), that lit up the room at night when sleeping.

We had an early meal there recently. They have a special offer ,after 4pm of some meals are 2 for 1 . You don't need to have same meal but can mix and match. We thought that the portions might be smaller but no full portions which makes this an excellent offer. The staff were very polite and attentive checking for allergies and if meal was all to our liking.Lovely surroundings with lovely staff and good food.

We booked a celebration of life dinner at the Parkville and the experience was stellar from start to finish. I booked from overseas and Sharon was an amazing partner throughout the planning process, including late additions to our large party. Once we arrived for the dinner, the staff was amazingly attentive. The food was delicious. Overall, we couldn't be happier with the experience. Thank you so much for helping us honor our loved one.
