Business travellers will do well to discover the Alona, it is conveniently placed (the roundabout back to the M74 can be a bit tricky on a morning though) and the staff are fantastic, the rooms very comfy and clean, and the restaurant excellent. More

I had the mis-pleasure of staying at this so called 4-star hotel with my husband and we will not be back. There was a party on so we were treated to loud thumping music all night and drunken people shouting and falling about the place, not the relaxing setting we envisioned. The room was as standard as any travelodge or... More

Thank you for your comments regarding your experience at The Alona Hotel however I am disappointed that you did not feel you could have told us about these issues in July 2011 or soon after the function. I am amazed by the issues you have raised and would have liked to address them with yourself at an earlier stage. I... More

First of all, great value! Wasn't expecting such fresh comtemporary decor and fantastic service with the price! It was spotlessly clean as well. The service was great from the start. We were offered a complimentary glass of wine at the front desk. The staff then very proactively offered to help with our luggage. It is within the Strathclyde Country Park... More
