"Really nice hotel with ample parking and lovely staff. Manager was great too"

"Lovely room again, I have stayed before and still highly recommend this lovely hotel. Friendly staff, lovely scenery, great food in the restaurant."

"Short stay. 1 night Booked a double room. Typical chain hotel room Clean. Tidy.. Plenty coffee, tea and milk Enclosed shower which needs a little maintenece and a freshen up Decent pressure Good WiFi reception Downside there is no air con Windows do open but you're very close to the airport so there will be noise but nothing too loud There's a wall heater that certainly doesn't take long to heat up the room Bar serves a varied amount of choices from draft to spirits Food is available too They also run a minibus at a small charge £3 per person to the nearby music venue Handy for getting to a concert No return unfortunately but only a 20 minute walk back Staff extremely friendly "

"Great food and hospitality "

"Really lovely locally owned and run hotel. Our kingsize upgraded room was stunning, and massive. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The homemade shortbread in the room was incredible, and they even refilled it when we scoffed it all! Breakfast was tasty, and the hot food was made to order. The on-site gym “The Unit” was really great and fully included in the room rate, which felt like a treat! They are clearly modernising the hotel to an high standard, and as far as we saw only the room corridors and stairs were still to be upgraded. The parking was free and plentiful, and it’s a great base for exploring the surrounding area. All the staff were exceptionally lovely & friendly (with the one exception of the older gent who checked us in who treated us like an inconvenience, and shouldn’t really be working in hospitality) "

"Good hotel at budget price "

"Great hotel, very relaxed and suited our children with pool and other games downstairs. Liked the bar and food offering, especially when we arrived late and still needed dinner. Bedrooms were comfortable - would stay again. Only one issue - TV surround in room 505 fell off the wall on arrival. Thankfully no one hurt but could have been much more serious. Staff moved us to a new room quickly but hope this is fixed so no risk of it happening again. "

"Room was spotless warm plenty of towels and hot water"

"The food is great but very expensive, although Ballater is an expensive place to stay. Evening meal and bar lovely, breakfast amazing. Nice feel to the hotel, very traditional and cosy. We stayed in a standard room, which is basic. Mattress and pillows felt cheap, it overlooked properties but there was no net curtain to offer privacy, dusty, TV had no apps to log into, noise from downstairs clearly audible, door in the hallway made a creaking noise. We were pretty disappointed as the next level was almost double. "
