Trump Turnberry

Three weeks ago we stayed at Trump Turnberry. It was our first visit, and in all honesty, we didn’t know a whole lot about the hotel prior to booking, nor did I read any reviews, but if you’re looking for information on a recent stay, then perhaps our experiences may help you in your research. We had booked a villa for our one night stay. Upon check in, we were told that we’d been upgraded to stay in the main building, which was a most pleasant surprise. Check in was quick, and efficient. Our luggage was taken, and the car parked by the valet team. We walked up to our room, and the first thing that struck me, was the level of finish on the materials around the building. You would not know that there was any age to the fabric of the hotel, as everything appeared to be brand new. I come from a construction background, and I’ve seen old hotels that have been refurbished, and Trump Turnberry is really next level in terms of the work, and materials that I’ve been used. Arriving at our room, we were really pleased; it was spacious, and well equipped with tasteful furniture, and furnishings. There was a mini bar with reasonable prices, a coffee maker with sufficient pods, milk, and even creamer. Which is something that you’d usually only see across in the US. We’re British, but we do spend a fair amount of time in the US, and it was really nice to see the imported US fittings in the bathroom. It was literally like stepping into a US hotel bathroom. From the shower, to the twin basins, to the bath, it was all US brands. The bathroom was again a US sized room, and if you’re travelling from the US then you’re really going to feel like you’re home from home. Most of the bedroom furniture was American made, along with US style lamps with twist turn switches. Everything in the room had a quality feel about it. We had a nice view, and could see the sea, and hills across in the distance.r Soon after we arrived, the chap arrived with our luggage, and set it up on the stand for us. Every member of staff we encountered during our stay were friendly, and helpful, and made us feel very welcome. We decided to have an evening meal in the hotel. Prices in the 1906 main restaurant looked a little beyond our budget, so we opted to walk down to the Turnberry Clubhouse, and eat in the Duel in the Sun restaurant. We were not disappointed. It was a relaxed, casual affair, but the food was excellent, and it suited us perfectly. We both had steak, and it was done to perfection, with a very large portion of food overall. Prices were reasonable, service attentive, and friendly, with a good view out over the golf course. The hotel does provide a shuttle service to, and from the Clubhouse, but we enjoyed our walk, as the weather was being very kind to us, even though we stayed in February. Neither of us have any interest in golf, but we did enjoy looking around the shop in the Clubhouse, with us buying a number of souvenirs to take home to the kids. We also perused the pho

Staff were lovely, great location. Shame it has to close along with all Trump associated businesses around the world. If you have already booked be nice to the staff and offer them help in finding other employment. If not booked yet, do not do so until the Orange dictator is gone.

Outstanding from start to finish. Came here for our business work night out. Room in hotel overlooking the golf course was stunning. Bathroom was unreal. Bath was huge! Ate in the grand ballroom which was spectacular. Breakfast in morning was exquisite. Staff at front door very welcoming and helpful. So refreshing to see local Scottish men working there & welcoming guests / concierge. Most staff seemed local which was lovely to see as they are knowledgeable. Shuttle taxi took us over to the club house which was fab. Spa isn’t overly impressive but enjoyed it all the same, can’t wait to come back!!

Looks good in the pictures but once you look more closely its quite dirty and rundown in certain parts certainly not worth what we paid and will not be going back The Golf coarse is beautiful and well maintained We only had breakfast in the restaurant it was very average had better in much cheaper hotels

Firstly it pains me to leave this review as I greatly admire the owner of this hotel but I don’t think he knows how it’s run. Mr trump is a remarkable man this hotel is not. It’s greatly overpriced for a mediocre hotel we booked a room through the vio site £620 for a deluxe room we arrived and were given our room I must point out the valet was a lovely chap very accommodating did not get he’s name. We checked in all good given room number they said our bag would follow. We went in to room it was small and well used with a view of another building ten feet away and as we sat waiting for luggage which never arrived we noticed that the complimentary fruit was rotten looked two weeks old and room was rough so we went down after 30-40 minutes to complain still no luggage. They said the fruit left on side was disgusting and apologised and bumped our room up to a balcony room which should cost £1100 believe me not worth it but we tried to enjoy. I’ve stopped in other hotels with much better rooms for circa £300 but were there now got washed went down stairs booked food in the restaurant 1904 for 7.30 pm so while we were waiting we ordered two drinks at bar vodka lemonade and a house wine cheap wine cost £39 pounds for these then into restaurant I have never had worse over priced food I’m my life we sent one dish back uneaten still tried to charge us for it rubber off scallops when your next to the sea unbelievable then a starter one voul a vont cheap freezer type £24 it’s a joke but we went up and retired ensured breakfast would be good omg what can I say it was unbelievable bad cheap over cooked eggs I can not express what a bad breakfast this was on the hole I’ve stopped in better Hilton’s bad service bad food mediocre overpriced rooms unfortunately I would never stop there again a sleep in would be better
