The rooms and bathroom are clean. Breakfast buffet (continental). The menu includes Indian and other dishes. These prices were average and the food was delicious. A very cozy pub with several hundred different whiskeys is part of the hotel, and there are also various types of draft beer. The ideal place for a whiskey tasting with friends and an overnight stay. The operators are friendly and helpful, we had extensive conversations. After 2 nights we almost had a friendly relationship. In the immediate vicinity there is a very well-stocked kiosk and a good snack bar for fish and chips.

Rooms look a little dated, small tv and only a continental breakfast available, however facilities are as expected, TV does have Netflix compatibility, comfortable bed and the owners are lovely. Will use again on future visits to the area.

My sister and daughter and myself went here for late afternoon meal on asking if I could have mashed potatoes instead of chips was abruptly told if you have the time I can go and buy potatoes peel them boil them mash them and then you can have mashed potatoes!! Then after ordering steak pie it came with chips only and the chips had already been salted ! And there was no veg! On asking why there’s no veg on the menu I was told by the owner Mr Nadil Salim that he could go and get carrots and cook them but by that time your steak pie will be cold!!!! Avoid this place if you don’t want to be insulted by such a rude obnoxious owner that thinks he has the right to treat people anyway he likes he’s an absolute disgrace to be called a business man!!!

This is the worst experience I have ever had don’t know how this place is in business. Disgusting and burnt food which none out of 4 of us could eat the only edible thing was the rice and nan bread. The pakora was jet black and could’ve smashed a window, according to the manager this is how they cook it in there, I think it was being cooked from Friday night. This guy is quite clearly in denial. They wouldn’t offer a refund over the phone, told us we had to take it back ourselves after paying for a delivery fee and then called my girlfriend a liar and says that his food is great. Again this guy is clearly in denial. Returning it to the shop he further refused a refund and decided he would try to push and point me out of the shop all the while customers were in eating. Then telling me he would be phoning people to come down and deal with me, absolutely comedy gold really. We had to go and spend more money for our dinner because they wouldn’t refund what we paid. I have no idea how this place is in business, going by other recent reviews it’s evident that the food is in fact not up to standard. I would avoid this place at all costs and ill make sure everyone I know is told of this. I await my refund

Had a table booked for 7:30 and when we got there only 4 out of maybe 20 tables were full. Upon arrival we were asked where we wanted to sit and were told to make our way there. We weren’t given menus and had to ask to which they responded “we don’t have enough menus I will get one to you soon”. After we asked that the couple at the table beside us asked if they could order now as they had been waiting 30 minutes and were told the kitchen wasn’t taking orders just now. The family on the other side of us also hadn’t received menus. After 35 minutes with absolutely zero communication with the staff or anyone even asking us if we wanted a drink we walked out as did another family. Terrible service, feel bad for the one girl working behind bar. Will not be back and would not recommend.

I've been a regular here in the past as it's an excellent wee bar, with friendly owner and staff and a wonderful array of Single Malt whisky. Food is ALWAYS superb, with an amazing Indian Tapas menu. For lunch in the scorching sunshine, we sat in the garden and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. As always, the owner Nadal made himself available for a blether and a wee catch up on his latest Malt additions. Can't recommend The Villa highly enough. 💙

I have visited Villa Hotel on many occasions since November on moving to the area. Food is always a high standard and service is always provided to a high level no matter what time visit the establishment. They offer a large range of gin, beer and liquors that are unavailable at other bars or restaurants (gin 48 is a recommendation) The staff at all times are approachable and helpful. Whether it is an Indian, lamb burger or fish and chips you are after definitely the hotel a visit.

We were looking forward to Christmas Dinner out as a family with my daughter & family, 6 in all. I have a Coeliac condition and although they said they could cater for this I was very limited to what I could have! Told the roast beef was finished.... this was at 5 o'clock sitting.... and was being replaced by Steak pie which I couldn't have, so I opted for Turkey without the stuffing and they couldn't even supply gluten free gravy with that so I had to eat very dry turkey with one sprout, a piece of broccoli and a few hard carrots and had to ask for some potatoes which consisted of 4 small shrivelled up baby potatoes. Couldn't have either of the puddings on the menu so asked if I could have some ice cream which they said they didn't have so said I could have a figgy toffee pudding which was so stodgy I couldn't eat it. We waited for coffee to come but had to eventually ask for it and it was practically cold and without any mints. All of our party were completely disappointed with their meals too and I might add there was no " party " atmosphere in the place even tho' it was quite busy! It has put us off going out for Christmas dinner any time soon but if we do it certainly won't be to the Villa!!!!

We booked a table for 6 people for 17:00 as a change from having Christmas at home, the night started well most of the staff were friendly although a couple couldn't look any less interested, we were informed that there was no roast beef left and were given no alternative due to a very limited menu. Most of our table picked the turkey dinner which was without exaggerating the worst Christmas dinner we've ever had. 2 small dry turkey slices, a slice of soft stuffing, 1 brussell sprout, 1 small piece of broccoli,1 tiny over cooked potato and 4 slices of carrot which were solid. One of our members didn't get any potatoes as she asked for gluten free option. We were presented a small bowl of the over cooked potatoes 10 minutes later after having to request them. As the menu was limited we were told they didnt have something simple like ice cream as an alternative to the deserts. At first we tried to speak to a waiter about it but we got no where so we spoke to the owner who just listened and then walked off without really saying anything, we found out later he paid the drink bill, a bit of communication would have been nice. After this we felt like everyone working their wanted to avoid dealing with us as the service slowed down. The room itself was overcrowded and the tables were cramped together. This is the first and last time we will be visiting this restaurant as our experience was so bad.

we booked a table for a party of 14 for 18:30 as some of our party was working on xmas day, on arrival we were greeted and shown to our table the drinks order was then taken , so far so good, when asked for our food order we were informed that there was no roast beef left no alternative given it was also said that there was only xmas pudding for desert after 5 mins another waiter then informed us that there was steak pie available several of our party opting for that , the turkey dish consisted of 3 slices of tasteless meat a slice of soft stuffing 1 brussell sprout and 1 small potato covered in a thick gravy the steak pie was as tough as old boots one of our guests could not even eat it when the waiter was told he just shrugged his shoulders no alternative offered we did make our feelings quite clear to the waiting staff no apology or offer of any discount was made I do not think that any of our party will ever return to this restaurant again

This place is an absolute joke of an establishment.Even 1 star is too much but I cannot give any less! As someone who travels on a regular basis for business I have never been treated or placed in this position before. Booked for 1 night weeks ago for an overnight Bed and Breakfast. Cost was deducted from our credit card almost immediately. Received a voice message today to ask to call then back. On doing so they have told me they have no rooms and our booking is cancelled.The money has not been refunded and the manager/ owner isn't available. The pratt I managed to speak to although apologising many times could provide a decent explanation and simply stated many times its not something he can do anything about. I need to call a Mr Saleem the Owner tomorrow!!! Now I'm left trying to book a last minute booking at substantially greater cost and will be lucky if we get anywhere. MY ADVICE is don't even think about booking this establishment if you want the comfort of knowing your booking is secure. If they can do this to me they can to anyone and obviously has no concept on doing business properly.Who knows if I will get my money refunded without issues? My bet is not !

Service was ok, not great, but ok. Food was very average. Very disappointed that they were unwilling to give my 7 year old some ice cream for pudding. Said "they couldn't deviate from the menu" .... no 7 year old wants fruits of the forst cheesecake or christmas pudding with brandy sauce (which turned out to be custard with zero brandy in it). So I paid £20 for nuggets and chips, very disappointing. Wont be back.

This is perhaps not the most cheerful kind of meal but, on a recent visit, I was greatly impressed by the quality of the food and the pleasant and sensitive service provided by staff. We were given home made soup with plentiful rolls followed by a buffet of well filled sandwiches, vol au vents and other savoury items, with tea or coffee. Drinks (optional) were also provided. Everyone present seemed very pleased with the lunch.

First visit for two years. The staff remembered us! Warm welcome with easy access for disabled. Good toilet facilities. There is a huge collection of whiskies and the restaurant is spacious and well light. Service quick and not fussy. Soups, veg and mushroom were ok. My wife had fish and chips, l had the lamb burger, our companion had chicken. This was the weakest of the three. However the prices of everything were very reasonable. This is not cordon bleu but simply a good value food stop with a varied menu selection.

We eat out very regularly and have always to explain to the waiting staff that there can be no cream whatsoever on the dessert. This is the first time ever we have been charged extra to replace something that a person is allergic to. So shame on the Villa - we won't be back.

It is a great place to take the family if there are a few generations involved as it appeals to everyone's taste.

A great little restaurant, with great staff, who make every effort to be as personable as possible, without being too intrusive. The food is great, and when asked if you'd like a whisky after your meal, it may take a while to look through the drink menu - well over 100 different whiskies to choose from! The owner chatted to us and let us know of his love of whisky, and he takes great delight in sharing that with his customers. Tried several different whiskies with my wife, discovering new and different flavours and having lots of fun in the process.Definitely a nice wee place to visit for a meal, and a few after dinner drinks :)

Just returned from The Villa with my elderly aunt after having what was a very poor excuse for a Christmas dinner, actually any dinner ! Our sitting was 12pm on arrival the place was cold didn't want to take my coat off not a great start. Our starter was cream of vegetable soup...watery not pleasant. Our main Beef was stringy and terrible, 1 Brussel sprout, 2 small carrots, 1 quarter of a roast potato along with 1 small floret of cauliflower... absolute joke. I would actually have liked to see if the chef would have eaten what he put down to other people...very much doubt it ! I don't often complain but when asked if by waiter about my meal I told him it was worst meal iv ever had served to me, which his answer was.. "oh you should have said" I just did, as did the the table behind us. Lucky I visited my niece with a gift who offered me a dinner that I didn't have to pay £40 for that was far superior and she's not a chef ! Needless to say I won't be back in hurry and if I had spoke to a few people beforehand I defo wouldn't have went to the Villa in the first place but hey ho live and learn.

We visited tonight as two families of 4. Very hostile welcome from the bar manager himself , our young boys were drawen to a rugby poster to which they were sharply told not to touch?! We then sat for a couple of hours whilst the manager eagerly notched up the bar tab. We then had a pleasant meal where unfortunately two of our children accidentally knocked over their ice cream dishes. The first time I myself helped to pick up the glass with the help of staff, but then I was told we would be charged fie the 2nd glass because we needed to ensure our children were seated! I can absolutely appreciate that we were within a NOT busy restaurant and our children are in the process of learning this, but our children were polite and expressed their manners to the waiting staff. All of the children aware 6 and under! After the second ice cream was dropped the urgency of clearing it up became less important and our children were left to manoeuvre round about as it lay unattended on the floor. A very disappointing visit with poor family service and we will NOT be back. We will definitely not be recommending for other families to be visiting in an already struggling Hamilton business community. We are not the first families to be treated in this manner either! Redicuous!

Visited the Villa for a "catch up" meal with friends. Food was great and the staff were very attentive and friendly. Would definitely come back here for a meal. There were, however, two downsides which need addressed. The carpet in the dining area was not clean at all and does not look good (this may be a "work in progress" and I sincerely hope it is). The water pressure in the gents toilets is so high in the sinks that the floor was, literally, swimming in water. This also does not help the state of the carpet!!! Sort this out and I will be back!!!

Was celebrating a special Occaion with 10 others. We had a large table in the Conservatory. It was a sunny day but the room was humid and hot. The windows were open but there was no wind to cool the room. The fans above didn't work. It was uncomfortable. It was a set menu... I had Lasagne and it was a tiny portion. It was the poorest lasagne I've ever seen. The only meat in it was a spoonful to each side, the rest being orange coloured lasagne pasta sheets. Not meaty and not saucy. Steak Pie was a tiny serving with very little gravy and dry tiny chunks of meat. They didn't even serve vegetables with it! Tiny bowl of chips on the side. The Haddock was pre frozen bought in - the type you buy in Farmfoods. Really disappointed... So was everyone at the table but you can't complain when you are celebrating a special occasion in case it would upset their day. How any Chef would think that this food is acceptable is beyond me.

We recently moved back to Hamilton and having enjoyed eating her before, decided to try it once again. We were glad we did. On a midweek evening, we were greeted by a really friendly waiter who could not have been more helpful and pleasant. The pre theatre menu is a choice of various pub grub options or Indian. We had Indian, crispy pakora to start and 2 different main courses which were both delicious and came with spiced onions and popadoms. We added nan bread. Crispy and finished off a great meal. Our daughter had checked strips and she said they were good. We will definitely return to The Villa.

Although it's not an Indian restaurant, the Indian good is amazing. Came 6th in UK in a competition recently for their curries. Pasta arrabiatta was really good too. White chocolate cheesecake was to die for

Attended a joint birthday meal here for 14 people. Nice table set up and personal service from dedicated member of staff. Food as indicated elsewhere is Indian tapas style which suited us perfectly. By ordering numerous dishes we were able to mix and match and sample the full range on the menu. Food was fresh well prepared and served piping hot. Loads of sundries, nan, chapati popadoms came as starters as well as nice selection for individual election to start. Drinks were reasonable and good choice of malt whisky if you are interested. We had a two year and she got special attention and her own cake. After meal I took her out to the garden via the conservatory and we happily played with children from another two parties while adults and coffee etc, Layout allows small groups but the conservatory looks like it could take significant numbers in a dedicated room. This is actually a hotel and I would have liked to see the rooms as it is well located for the M74 motorway should anyone have to stay overnight. Overall great night out for an informal gathering and not that expensive.

In for an early evening meal, friendly welcome and offered seating in either the main restaurant or the conservatory, chose the conservatory, nice bright and clean.Drinks order taken while made our selections from the pre theatre menu (reasonably priced £9.95 for 2 courses).The food selection has changed greatly since our last visit, it seems to be trying to be an Indian Restaurant rather than what it used to be. The menu we selected from was biased towards Indian food. Would probably have gone elsewhere if we had realised this before we had ordered drinks as we were really looking for a traditional menu selection. That said the food we ordered was promptly served and was very good. The staff were friendly and helpful.One question why do we have to add bear/ale to our traditional steak pie, it seems to be getting more difficult to get a simple steak pie that has not been tampered with?

We have eaten in here a few times with family. The service from the waiters are second to none, the extensive gantry is brilliant and the Stag beer on draught is crisp and fresh. Each time we've been in we have all ordered from the "British" side of the menu although it has an extensive "Indian tapas" selection too. All in all a good meal, great service and comfortable atmosphere.

I stayed on my own last night at the Villa Hotel, whilst on business in Scotland. The room was a little small, but well appointed and spotless. The hotel overall was faultless, I had a look at the restaurant menu before planning to go out to an Indian restaurant. Whilst looking at the menu the proprietor assured me that their own Indian food was excellent, and they had their own Indian chef. Travelling Europe on business, I usually work on the principal of sleeping in hotels, and eating in restaurants ( not hotel ones ). I risked it, and needn't have worried, the food was fantastic, equal and probably surpassing, what I would have had at a local Indian restaurant. In conclusion I also have to say that the staff, and the cooked breakfast were all first class. Highly recommended.

I have eaten here on numerous occasions and every time the food and service has been fantastic! The only times I have been is through the day when they serve their lunch menu - one course £7.00, 2 course £9.50 and three course £12.00. This is served every day from 12pm-6.30pm. You can opt for indian or british courses (the veg pakora and chicken chasni is amazing), or there is also the option to eat from the tapas menu, which again is very reasonably priced. I will be back soon!

Went here for Mother's day at very short notice, and they still managed to squeeze 6 of us in. Staff were very friendly and food was very solid, the south indian garlic chilli curry was as good as you will get in any Indian restaurant. The only downside was they ran out of haddock and naan bread, this was due to delivery issues on a Sunday, so perfectly understandable. Lovely atmosphere, good food and friendly staff made for an enjoyable meal

The Restaurant within the Villa Hotel has two separate dining areas, the main restaurant & the conservatory, both are equally pleasant and spotless clean, it also has an ample sized bar area with comfy sofas & chairs. Having visited the Villa for many years as a family & as a large party on numerous occasions, I cannot praise it highly enough, the food is excellent, as are the staff. The prices are very reasonable & the menus are varied (I personally have made some requests for various vegetarian pasta dishes and they are always very good), the Indian Tapas are also excellent. They often have various special offers on, such as kids eat free (1 adult per 1child). We have a seven year old son and he is also made very welcome, not always the case in restaurants. The 'regulars' are in abundance, so the very friendly team at the villa can't be doing much wrong.

I visited the restaurant with my wife. We have recently come to live in Hamilton. We decided to go for the Pre-Theatre Menu which we thought was very reasonably priced. There was an ample choice with quick and friendly service. I went for the conservative choice of fish-and-chips, followed by trifle! The food was nicely presented and the helpings were very adequate. This was a good experience. For those who want a more adventurous meal, there is an a la carte menu which caters for a wide variety of tastes and preferences - including Indian.I would certainly go back to the Villa.

Honestly the first time I came here was absolutely amazing! I enjoyed the restaurant very much and the service was top tear however this time I don’t even know how to explain it! I visited again on Wednesday and gosh was it a different experience. I was served by one of the same ladies as last time and she was still lovely and very helpful especially when i asked to bag a lot of the food to take home with me e.g the paella and then we asked if we could take deserts home or order them tomorrow and she gave us all the information we needed! Very helpful but it seemed she was working alone tbh? Last time we were in the two who served us worked in harmony and seemed to work together very well and it helped the vibe of the restaurant and gave a great harmony however it seems it was a solo job tonight. It showed on her face aswell that she seemed frustrated however cannot fault her. The food was top tear and although we ordered a lot I don’t like it to be mocked by a server who didn’t seem to want to be here? I love this little restaurant and cannot fault it…. Just alittle disheartened after my last visit.
