"The hotel was clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The rooms were well maintained, although they felt slightly dated in terms of decor. One improvement I would strongly suggest is installing soft-close door mechanisms, as the doors tend to slam loudly. Unfortunately, one guest on my floor repeatedly let their door slam early in the morning (between 6 and 8 am), which was quite disruptive."

"The hotel location was perfect for Ben Nevis. It was clean and tidy. It’s quite dated and the food in the evening wasn’t great for the money. The staff were helpful enough. I wouldn’t rush back there, but equally for the money and the location it served our purpose well. "

"We were woken at 7am by a fire alarm and had to evacuate our room with a baby and a 6-year-old, only for it to stop before we even reached the muster point. It was later explained, quite casually, that it was caused by someone showering with the bathroom door open. Given there’s a sign warning about “sensitive” alarms, this doesn’t feel like a one-off and isn’t acceptable in a family hotel where sleep is already precious. We stayed at Macdonald Aviemore Resort as a family of four. When we raised this, along with a broken kettle, reception initially offered complimentary breakfast but later withdrew it after checking with a manager, which felt poorly handled. The hotel itself feels tired and in need of investment. Our room was small, especially with a cot, the shower was only lukewarm, and carpets were dirty with an unpleasant smell. The lift also smelt strongly of smoke. There are positives: the pool and facilities are good and we enjoyed them, though some maintenance is needed (hair dryers out of order, puddles on the floor, drains not very clean). The outdoor park is great for kids but also showing wear. Aviemore is a fantastic location, but the resort feels like it’s relying on that rather than maintaining standards, it’s certainly not 4 star. With better upkeep, it could be much better."

"Brilliant stay. Steam room was grimy but apart from that it was fantastic."

"Decent hotel for one night"

"The room was fine. Bathroom had a huge soaking tub and separate shower which were clean. We stayed two nights. Hotel said it had daily maid service. We came back from our first day of travels and our coffee cups had not been replaced nor had the coffee supplies. In an email to the hotel earlier that day, I asked for two additional pillows as there was only one pillow per person and they were quite flat. They did not bring extra pillows. I went to the foyer where there was a phone to call “staff. The woman who answered said there wasn’t any staff at the hotel, she tired to find more info but said they could bring coffee supplies tomorrow, but it wouldn’t arrive before we departed. The next day I had several emails with “management” and they said they only do daily housekeeping for “stayovers.” Two nights is a stay over. The email then discussed towels and emptying wastebaskets. I never mentioned any of that, just coffee supplies and pillows. I try not to disparage hotels if I am being picky about an issue, but I do feel refilling coffee amenities is part of what we pay for the hotel. But more so, I am writing because the management didn’t seem to care at all and didn’t seem to read my email as they addressed issues I never mentioned."

"Great place for a long weekend. Scenery is amazing, hotel is clean, it has a cosy feeling, staff are great and food is pretty good. "
