Pros:

Hôtel très bien situé à proximité du ferry.
Chambres simples mais très propres. Literie très bonne.
L'hôtel appartient à de nouveaux propriétaires qui le rénovent au fur et à mesure donc il peut y avoir quelques défauts mais ça reste très bien pour le prix
Le personnel au top +++
La jeune fille qui m'a accueillie était très sympathique, souriante et très agréable.
Le restaurant au rez-de-chaussée a des prix très attractifs.
Le petit déjeuner était très bien avec du choix. ( À la demande)

Location perfect.
Pros:

There is no reception, so you check in at the bar. However, the staff were warm and welcoming. The room was clean, but in need of updating.

Cons:

When having a shower the power which wasn't great anyway reduced to a trickle and then turned cold.

Convenient location. Needs attention to the details.
Pros:

Well placed for catching ferry. Food good and friendly staff. Complimentary water a good idea. Warm room with comfortable bed . Nice bar.

Cons:

Stains on carpet in room. Toilet seat needed holding up. Poor lighting- too dim and not flexible enough.
Better direction signs for room 15 (can only see sign once you’ve gone too far up the stairs). Hard to unlock the door. No clear sign in and out procedure.

Great overnight stay in the centre of Troon with great view of the seafront and excellent service.
Pros:

The anchorage staff were extremely accommodating and friendly. We had a minor issue with the boiler in our room so as a gesture of goodwill the staff upgraded us to a larger room and made the process easy and relaxed.

The McCallan Suite is beautifully decorated and large. It was clean and comfortable and made our overnight stay in Troon memorable. The sea-facing view was an incredible sight to wake up to despite the rain. We enjoyed a local pub dinner before travelling back home.

Highly recommend the location! The staff were definitely the highlight.

We had great fun with old familiar friends , but we would have had a good time wherever we were
Pros:

We gathered at The Anchorage hotel to connect with good friends visiting Troon from Australia. the bar and staff were fantastic , as was the beer garden. I booked a twin room with a friend at the top of the hotel. The room was very tired but the bedding was crisp and clean if nothing else was. We enjoyed our stay but i would say not to expect too much from the rooms. A clean bed to sleep in but please don't look behind them when you think your glasses have fallen down the side.

Cons:

The room we were in could do with a wee makeover but we camp a lot so as long as the bed was clean...and it was.
