Aspect restaurant as only dining option on site was a bit too posh for liking. Buildings look a bit old and tired but still in good condition. Am waiting for partial refund due to check out 2 days early so will see if get it. Walking directions from station were not provided and no directions on site so not easy to find hotel for initial check in. ##### Andrew Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew 9 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved the placement near the town and station ##### Andrew Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James 19 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Surprisingly good for a chain Overall very good and was impressed by the quality of the food ##### James Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kenneth 22 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was in the centre of the town and handy for all attractions and bars. ##### Kenneth Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly 24 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great spot This was a great spot to stay during our Scotland trip.

Macdonald hotel was meant to be 4 star. Can safely say 2/3 star. Mould in bathrooms. Unclean bathroom floors. Side panal of the path was water damaged by many years of usage. The buildings are very old now and in major need of upgrade and repair. Including restuarants. We have visited maybe 5 times over the last 10 years and this time was the most disappointing. It doesnt have the 4 star feel and next time definitely be booking else where sad to say. Time for some maintenance. Couldnt even get a latte with breakfast, had to pay extra. Paid £650 for 2 nights and couldnt even have a latte for breakfast. 😂 The staff were friendly. ![Entrance into our hotel.

I requested a dehumidifier but was assured they could use a purifier when I was out of the room, no evidence this was executed as it didn’t help. When I expressed my concern at reception I was told they would look out for the next customer. I feel I should have been offered another room as I tried to explain I am asthmatic and a diabetic….. This spoilt my stay and I will not be staying again. A real pity as the breakfast was very good and the restaurant staff were excellent. ##### angela Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Lisu 2 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Second time up in Macdonald Aviemore and it’s always been a delight.

Great facilities and professional staff stay was let down by very bad mattresses, ill fitting bedding and also a blocked loo on arrival. Pool was great with wave machine, flume and spa. Parking was easy and free too. ##### Ian Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### kenneth 8 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Room was good but bathroom lacked counter space. Breakfast service was spotty. ##### kenneth Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Charles 30 Jun 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities We will not be going back to McDonald’s Highland Resort the room service was very poor, our room was still not serviced at 17:00 this happen two days running had to go to reception before it was done. The breakfast was very poor my wife got food poisoning after the breakfast on Saturday as the sausage she had partly eaten hadn’t been fully cooked. The hotel is very shabby worn carpets worn furniture it needs a complete refurb. We have been going to that hotel at least once or twice a year over the last 20 years, over the last five years it has gradually gone downhill and this was probably the worst it been. McDonald’s should not be charging those rates for this hotel as it is not up to a 4 star rating we were very disappointed.

Hotel itself is very dated though and made room seem like it needed a good clean!! and therefore not good value for money in my opinion! Breakfast wasn’t great either with all stations again seeming untidy. ##### KATY Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Gavin 27 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Aviemore stay Feb 2023 We enjoyed our stay in Aviemore. The hotel itself though is starting to look slightly tired and dated. Staff were pleasant and the breakfast was enjoyable. I do however have the say the alcohol was very expensive. To charge £6.50 for a single of Disaronno when a full bottle costs not much more than £12 is daylight robbery! ##### Gavin Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [DoubleTree by Hilton Dunblane Hydro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunblane-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Dunblane-Hydro.h520461.Hotel-Information) > > [Claymore Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-CLAYMORE-HOTEL.h57956439.Hotel-Information) > > [Marine Troon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Troon-Hotels-The-Marine-Hotel.h554927.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stirling Highland Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stirling-Hotels-The-Stirling-Highland-Hotel.h558482.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont St Andrews](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Andrews-Hotels-Fairmont-St-Andrews.h663479.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunkeld House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunkeld-Hotels-Dunkeld-House-Hotel.h520427.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex City Quay Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundee-Hotels-Apex-City-Quay-Hotel-Spa.h897382.Hotel-Information) > > [Adamton Country House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prestwick-Hotels-Adamton-Country-House-Hotel.h3277768.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Dundee City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundee-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Dundee-City-Center.h15438290.Hotel-Information) > > [JA Mar Hall Scotland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bishopton-Hotels-Mar-Hall-Golf-Spa-Resort.h1077249.Hotel-Information) > > [Loch Long Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-Loch-Long-Hotel.h16270964.Hotel-Information) > > [Fonab Castle Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pitlochry-Hotels-Fonab-Castle-Hotel-Spa.h5991409.Hotel-Information) > > [The Victoria Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kirkcaldy-Hotels-The-Victoria-Hotel.h4482159.Hotel-Information) > > [The George Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inveraray-Hotels-The-George-Hotel.h24458716.Hotel-Information) > > [Inglewood House and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alloa-Hotels-Inglewood-House-And-Spa.h12709295.Hotel-Information) > > [The Caledonian Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fort-William-Hotels-The-Caledonian-Hotel.h13407571.Hotel-Information) > > [Glynhill Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Renfrew-Hotels-Glynhill-Hotel.h868692.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Glasgow-Airport.h519994.Hotel-Information) > > [Moness Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberfeldy-Hotels-Moness-Resort.h2955414.Hotel-Information) > > [The Great Western Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oban-Hotels-The-Great-Western-Hotel.h13407325.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pitlochry Hydro Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pitlochry-Hotels-The-Pitlochry-Hydro-Hotel.h1854094.Hotel-Information) > > [Dakota Eurocentral](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Motherwell-Hotels-Dakota-Eurocentral.h1516635.Hotel-Information) > > [The Waverley Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melrose-Hotels-The-Waverley-Castle-Hotel.h13431010.Hotel-Information) > > [Cameron House on Loch Lomond](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexandria-Hotels-Cameron-House-On-Loch-Lomond.h980306.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Hamilton Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hamilton-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Hamilton-Park.h33810078.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Duchally Country Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auchterarder-Hotels-CLC-Duchally-Country-Estate-Hotel-Resort.h79023.Hotel-Information) > > [Riverside Lodge Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Irvine-Hotels-Riverside-Lodge-Hotel.h8519.Hotel-Information) > > [Arrochar Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-Arrochar-Hotel.h1423391.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Glasgow-Airport.h809324.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Glasgow Strathclyde](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bellshill-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Glasgow-Strathclyde.h520473.Hotel-Information)
