Guest Reviews

• Susan (10/5): Perfect & reasonably priced - It was comfortable, clean, friendly staff, well positioned to explore Falkirk, Glasgow,Edinburgh
• Verified traveler (8/5): Helix Hotel June 2022 - Good sized clean modern room and comfy bed. Plenty of free car parking on street outside. Room reasonably priced too. Only downside for me was no air con or fans in room which didn’t help when I stayed on one of the hottest nights of the year but don’t let this put you off. Good value for the money paid especially last minute :) would still use again.
• Ian (4/5): Disappointing - needs a lot of work - No bar or restaurant open with no prior notice from the Hotel. Very poorly decorated, shower tray overflowed into bathroom floor. Not sure how this hotel scored 8.2 in it current state!
• Bernadette (10/5): - Was very disappointed that the restaurant wasn't open.
• Natalie (6/5): - No bar or restaurant as advertised, poor location in residential area. However the room was clean and comfortable.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Very Uncomfortable Bed - Check in was great, friendly staff. However the bed was one of the most uncomfortable mattress’ I’ve ever slept on. Well by it’s date, basically a bag of springs. My back is still hurting. Place was immaculately clean and free parking was a bonus. No chef was available so no onsite eating but shops were local enough.
• Shagufta (8/5): Chilled couple of days away - We booked this hotel as it was near the places we wanted to go and see, it was a very quiet and friendly hotel. The staff were amazing and the room was clean and spacious. The bed was so comfy I could have fallen asleep for days 😴
• Don (10/5): A real gem. - This hotel is a hidden gem, do not be put off staying here by the address. It is very comfortable and friendly, the staff are great. We would happily stay here again !
• Andy (8/5): Excellent staff and service - Excellent staff, the seagulls were relentless though.
• Michelle (2/5): Dreadful - Stay clear it’s like a deserted block of flats in an awful area I didn’t stay I left ! Parking is on a council estate block of run down flats definitely not secure I refused to leave my vehicle here as it didn’t feel safe Arrived hotel in deserted in darkness all locked up at 1.30pm had to wait for reception to open at 5.30pm ! No chance I left and went to grange manor !!!!!
• Gillian (10/5): - Emma on the front desk is lovely and very welcoming. My room was spotless and the decor was modern as per the website. Due to COVID the hotel is not doing breakfasts but are providing pack lunches. I have dietary requirements so it was really good when Scott the chef came out to meet me and discuss what I could have. My pack lunches thereafter were the envy of my training colleagues who were staying at other hotels. The only negative about this hotel is the outside of it which needs to be updated but once through the front door a warm welcome awaits.
• Paul (10/5): Brilliant Hotel - Brilliant Value, staff were lovely and could not do enough for you. Especially Stacey. Great find and we are so glad we booked on the spur of the moment. Will be visiting again sooon. Thanks x
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Room was spacious , as was the bathroom , breakfast was excellent , definitely stay again
• David (10/5): - Good value for money, great breakfast
• David (10/5): Superb hotel - Great place staff were the best. Covenantally located foe side trips and easy access to trains to head to Edinburgh. Great food/breakfast. Highly recommended this place to anyone traveling in Scotland
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Terrible odour in room and room was small compared to other hotels I have stayed in. The receptionist was very pleasant
• SamSparkes (10/5): - A clean quiet property. With an excellent small restaurant and bar, good parking.
• Colin (10/5): Excellent staff, service, food, value & rooms - Excellent staff & service, great food, very comfortable rooms. Excellent value for money, easy to locate a short distance from the motorway
• Ronald (8/5): Close to venue - Perfect location for my trip
• Claudio (8/5): - The staff were very helpful and made the stay most enjoyable.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Very easy to find from airport and access to various sites. The rooms clean though basic, lacking mirror in bedroom, chair or small sofa to relax, noticed no hairdryer. Breakfast excellent and staff very helpful. If you stayed one night has everything you need but longer it would be nice to have the extra touches but overall very good.
• Megan (2/5): Disappointed - It was not worth £80 for one night it should be worth £35 for one night
• sharon (8/5): Clean convenient hotel - Street parking convenient for all attractions in the area and good food in the bar. Breakfast included
• Victoria (8/5): Super hotel - dont be put off by the outside. - A great stay. The hotel looks basic from the outside, but it is clean and comfortable. The staff were excellent and most helpful throughout the stay.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Just Odd - Poor supposed "Budget" hotel. Uncomfortable beds, poor pillows. Institution sound to the corridors, single glazed... GREEN lighting over the beds. Just odd. Breakfast selection again a bit weird... 1001 uses for a wine glass but, I must admit, the hot foot was great. However, I will never stop again
• Verified traveler (6/5): Not what I was expecting - This is a step above a hostel. One towel per guest, packet toiletries, no phone in the room, no lift, reception not manned continually, no view, away from shops and sites unless you have a car. It is a fairly clean hotel with a friendly staff, and the food in the limited tiny bar/restaurant is home cooked and delicious.
• Heardy (8/5): Good value hotel - Staff friendly and helpful. Good breakfast. Good access to Falkirk and Bo’ness by bus, which was perfect for me.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Stayed for a couple of nights, hotel very comfortable and lovely breakfast
• Lisa (10/5): - From the outside it doesn’t look much but the room is upto date and bright decor. And the breakfast was absolutely gorgeous couldn’t fault it. It’s ideal for a few nights
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Good central location. Bathroom and towels not pristine. Exterior of building run down.
• Tracey (10/5): Good value for money! - Great place for us as a base, very clean and tidy. Friendly polite staff, excellent breakfast. Was a bit disappointed with the fact we paid for a superior room with a king size bed, this was more like a double bed, room but small but still very nice and clean.
• Pat (8/5): Perfect spot for visiting Kelpies - My husband & I were only here for one night intending to visit Kelpies before flying off on holiday fro Edinburgh airport. Arrived about 4.30 pm Friday. Excellent check in, taken to our room on 1st floor. Spacious room with excellent amenities. Went into bar for evening meal about 8 pm. Excellent meal, very friendly, helpful staff. Very comfy bed. Breakfast was really superb, fruit,yogurts, juice, scones, teas, coffee, etc all laid out on large table to help yourself. Excellent choice of cooked breakfast ordered & brought to your table. Staff again were excellent. Simple check out. Seems an awful lot of "excellents" in this review, but it really is the only word to describe it. Would thoroughly recommend. About 7 mins car ride to Helix Park & Kelpies, & 30 mins drive to airport.
• Andrew (10/5): - Best breakfast ever. Great selection, fresh and wonderful service. Room was clean and a great shower.
• Matthew (10/5): - Lovely room with straight forward facilities - bar and great breakfast
• Diane (10/5): - Great hotel breakfast really good x
• Alistair (8/5): Not the best from previous stays here - Stay was great except the service at breakfast the next day. Breakfast staff weren’t paying attention to detail and were singing very badly when they thought the guests couldn’t hear them.
• Terry (8/5): Nice hotel in an residential/ industrial location - Ideal hotel for overnight visit to Grangemouth, not a tourist location but a hotel that gives good accommodation with nice meals and breakfast at excellent rates
• Gary (8/5): Good 6 night business trip. - This is a nice "middle of the road" hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was varied, plentiful and cooked to order. The bar/restaurant was well stocked and the food was freshly cooked with a great taste and good portions. My mattress wasn't the greatest and the maintenance could be better but I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Nice hotel - Nice hotel which was comfortable and we'll located. Entry point safe and secure with an open and welcoming staff member who greeted us as we arrived. Room was clean and presentable. Only drawback was that the room itself was abit on the small side.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - I have also stayed at the Hilton Hydro in Dunblane this weekend and I found this modest hotel far superior to the overpriced Hilton. Breakfast was cooked to order and well presented. I especially liked the fact that the beans were in a dish. I don't like my beans all over. Just a personal thing. I Would have preferred square sausage on it to make it a bit more of a "Scottish" breakfast. Again just a personal thing. Plenty of other breakfast options, again all well presented. Bed was comfy and room was warm and clean. Staff were very friendly.
• Alan (8/5): Loved it :) - Hotel was lovely. Staff very friendly and helpful. The room and bathrooms were clean and fresh. Very cosy. Breakfast was good. Tall guy who took our order and called everyone darling had great banter with the guests. Food was served quickly. I would go back again. Hotel is situated in an excellent area. We will visit again in the future.
• jean (10/5): Very friendly hotel - Hotel was excellent from checking in to comfy cosy room . Excellent evening meal /Breakfast. Very friendly an s attentive staff could not fault my stay in any way.
• John (10/5): Had a brilliant time - Thououghly enjoyed my stay, staff are brilliant, food is amazing. Great atmosphere, friendly and relaxed, would recommend to anyone.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Repeat visitor - Stayed overnight with friends. 2nd visit & if I need to stay again in the area would book again.
• Susa (10/5): Enjoyed our stay - We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The room was excellent and nice and warm on a freezing cold night. The breakfast was superb. Best omelette I’ve ever had!
• Brigita (8/5): Comfy overnight on a roadtrip - Our stay was good enough yet it is a very small town and nothing is opened nearby after 7ish :( you can take a nice walk (25-30mins) to the Helix Keplies but have your lights with. Hotel was nice, simple and small room but comfortable. Breakfast was top level - loved it!
• gary (10/5): Hidden Gem - Fantastic hotel. Absolutely spotless. Good food very warm especially after a days work out in the open ! Staff are so friendly and can’t do enough for you. Deff recommend the hotel to everyone
• Elizabeth (10/5): Excellent - The hotel was lovely and the owner could not have done more if he tried, very pleasant and accommodating to every need big or small. Would not hesitate to stay here again.
• Marnie (8/5): Exactly like photos - Friendly accommodating staff. Lovely breakfast. Dinner was good we had the haddock . Rooms were spotless, Downside - The pillows were so soft which affected our night’s sleep. Cold water from tap was hot, informed the young lady about it at dinner when we returned to the bedroom it was sorted , I was impressed however in the morning it was hot again maybe a plumbing problem we had a bottle of water so we could brush our teeth. If the pillows were changed I would certainly stay again . Cosy and welcoming.
• Ian (8/5): Helix Hotel Grangemouth - Friendly helpful staff. Have stayed here many times and will continue to do so.
• dave (6/5): hotel stay - room was rather small but clean was disappointed to find no car park and very tight for space to park in front of hotel
• Fifer (10/5): Chic, boutique decor with excellent staff - Firstly, don't judge The Helix Hotel by its lack of kerb appeal; its interior decor and professional staff belie the frontage and location. And yes, the parking's on-street rather than a dedicated lot, but a space was never more than 50m away. Reception staff too were attentive, well-presented and a real cut-above what you'd expect in a small town establishment. The en-suite room was smart, modern, nicely-decorated, and all that you need and expect (telly, kettle, tea/coffee, storage space, free wifi, ample sockets, basic toiletries, towels, etc.). The bonus for tall folk is a shower head high enough that we can stand under it, rather than limbo/contort/kneel. Breakfast is a continental buffet, plus cooked-to-order. All excellent. A great wee place, and I'll have no hesitation in booking again when I'm next in the area.
• Paul (8/5): Paul from stoke - Noisy corridor can hear everybody while in small single bed and small room but the breakfast was one of the best I have ever had beautiful layout credit to the chief
• Daniel (8/5): Fine hotel, with parking on the street - We booked 2 rooms for 2 people each, for 2 nights. The breakfast was great, and the staff welcoming upon registration. The rooms themselves are rather minimal. It's fine overall, but there was a cleaning product smell in the corridors. The area is fairly industrial, close to a refinery (so there is a bit of a smell outside as well). But beyond that, the price was reasonable ans the hotel is fairly easy to access, and close to several major cities.
• fiona (8/5): birthday treat - small hotel. doesn't look nice from outside with all surrounding flats outside does nothing for it. easy check in. staff take you to your room..hope your not looking for a lift as theres not one . hotel is spotless.u could smell the fresh paint . meals are lovely try the curry yum.. friendly staff .but they do look a bit scruffy they should wear uniforms [instead of there own clothes esp barman] its very of putting unironed clothes.. turn right out of hotel about 100 yards there a shopping complex [not a lot of shops] but theres couple of pubs the Dundas and earl ofzetland around corner [wetherspoons] i
• ann (6/5): Hotel o.k for short stay ( - Not in a good area of town.mot shops in arcade closed down and untidy No good restaurants within walking distance.
• Gillia (8/5): Good hotel, reviews spot on. - Refurbed hotel, clean with friendly staff. Good food with the best breakfast we have had in any hotel. would return when in the area again. during our stay there were several quests from other European countries. Clearly good value for money.
• Dominic (6/5): - when I first arrived I wondered what I had done as the area is not the most glamorous. The hotel itself was ok and it can be seen that a great deal of effort is being put in. My room was ok just and had all required items. A little disappointed that there was a clump of hair on the sink on my arrival. The host was extremely hospitable and the food was excellent. The wifi was terrible but I understand this is to be upgraded
• William (10/5): - A good and comfortable self-contains apartment. Friendly reception!
• Ron (6/5): Clean with no atmosphere - Hotel in the process of renovation, which is needed. Very Spartan interior with minimal staff and little atmosphere. It is in a good location between Glasgow and Edinburgh.
• Jonathan (10/5): Brilliant to a person in need - I booked this room for my brother who's wife was in hospital in Stirling and didn't stay myself, however he said the hotel is lovely and the owner was very helpful as I only booked for 2 adults - and there turned out to be 2 adults and a child - giving a lot of help and was very sympathetic to the problems my brothers family were going through.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Wonderful staff - The staff are wonderful and more than willing to offer assistance. They provided us with lots of information about things to do in the area. All our questions were answered and they remembered our names throughout. It is the staff that makes the Helix Hotel.
• Sarah (10/5): - Nice, clean hotel. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Only downside is not a lot to do in the area of the hotel, but otherwise it was great.
• gohunter (10/5): Probably the friendliest staff in the world! - What can I say. Nawaz and his staff are absolutely first class. They put the big hotel chains to shame with their warm, friendly attention to your wellbeing and comfort. Always greeted by name and with a genuine friendly smile on arrival, giving you a really warm welcome. It is just like coming home! As this is a privately owned hotel, there is a very real team spirit amongst the staff, all wanting you to enjoy your stay and to engage in friendly conversation with you. In the evenings Nawaz was happy to sit for ages with us and have an intelligent conversation about anything we wanted to talk about, from politics to world hunger, from technology to psychology. A really, really lovely guy to have as your host. Since my last visit before Christmas, the hotel has a new bar area and they are doing bar food in the evenings. Wow! What beautiful food. The kitchen staff really do excel in what they produce.This is NOT your average pre-packed frozen hotel/pub food. This is superb food, all freshly prepared on the premises and cooked to order, with ingredients sourced locally. We tried the chicken burger, inside out burger, macaroni cheese and steak pies when there. All were absolutely superb. Way better than the food we experienced on a recent cruise with P&O! The portions are large, so we didn't even get a chance to sample the starters or desserts as the main courses always had us full to the brim. Absolutely delicious with top quality ingredients cooked to order.
• Lisa (10/5): Very good - What a lovely surprise! Such a good hotel. Stayed for a buisness trip and was surprised by a clean, spacious room with a comfortable bed (including pillows) the bathroom was spacious and the shower great. The tea facilities were generous. The breakfast was the best spread I have seen in years, beautifully presented and freshly cooked. The staff were friendly and helpful. Can't give this lovely hotel enough praise, will definately stay there again! Thank you
• John (8/5): Hotel central good communication with staff though - had pleasant stay, food excellent Found room a little small for our needs bit I did not say at time of booking that I am disabled. Very helpful staff Good staff
• claire (6/5): Nice hotel area is a little shocking - I think this is wonderful hotel for contractors I would like to think my husband and dad could stay if ever in the area working Lovely breakfast and dining room
• Steven (8/5): - Spotless hotel, friendly staff and proprietor, good breakfast
• June (6/5): Basic and clean - We stayed for 3 nights. The hotel was basic but clean. I liked the large shower. The room itself was pretty small. The breakfast was lovely. Staff friendly.
• Stephen (10/5): Amazing friendly laura - Superb service from the young lady on reception. Laura was her name. A credit to the hotel
• pat (10/5): helix for Kelpies - We came to see the Kelpies and the Falkirk Wheel and both exceeded our expectations. Helix staff very friendly and helpful.
• Verified traveler (10/5): friendly customer services, value for money - the reception was very friendly. the breakfast was good. room is clean and hotel has ample parking space.overally, very good value for the money.
• Tim (6/5): - I was only staying for 1 night. So for that, i guess the room/hotel was adequate. It was the first time that i had slept in a single bed for many years. The room was , but nothing special. Breakfast was good. Staff were helpful, friendly with a desperate need to succeed.
• Neil (8/5): Great hotel - Recently refurbished management have made a great effort with the finishes. Breakfast was superb all freshly cooked
• Patricia (8/5): - It was close to a wedding we where attending in Falkirk Scotland. And the staff where fantastic.
