The pool was a little smaller than expected and not very warm, but our 2 year old loved it ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Amanda 25 Jul 2025 Property was a little dated and the waterpark was small. Our kids age 12 and 14 were too old to enjoy the full experience that younger kids would like. Dinner at Italian restaurant was good as was buffet breakfast. ##### Amanda Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Keelan 18 Sept 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is dated and the pictures do not show a true reflection of what it’s really like. Very bad breakfast, for having a hot plate everything was cold. Mattresses so worn down it was impossible to sleep. Excellent parking but overall a very poor experience that definitely was not value for money. I do not recommend this hotel. ##### Keelan Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Alastair 24 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Showing signs of wear and tear outside particularly. Staff very friendly, but overall perhaps a bit overpriced ##### Alastair Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Lisa 11 Jul 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Not a four star! Hotel is dated and run down. The room had a musty smell. Breakfast buffet is awful. Staff were friendly ##### Lisa Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### M 8 Aug 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Tired hotel!!!!! Hotel is very tired. Rooms are ok nothing special not for the price anyway! No glasses at the bar for our pint of beer. No food served in bar downstairs. Toilets in bar are horrible. For the price they charged for a stay there, i wouldnt spend the money again! ##### M Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Emma 8 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Not value for money Breakfast was basic but fine, bar service was terrible, barman didn’t know what he was doing. Rooms not serviced and shabby but adequate. Pool changing areas filthy, pool cold. Kids loved the soft play area. Location good. Staff friendly but not enough of them. ##### Emma Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 4 Jul 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Hotel is really run down. Facilities are good but in need of a deep clean and upgrade. Room is dated and had a damp smell. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Taim 5 Aug 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Dirty rooms , carpets need to be replaced. Bathroom stains. Mouldy. In desperate need of renovations. ##### Taim Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Steven 4 Aug 2025 Disliked: Staff & service #### Food/service well below Macdonald hotels standards The hotel itself was fine - cheap and cheerful - and the staff there were really helpful and even gave us leisure passes despite arriving earlier than check in. What let the rating down and lets Macdonald hotels down overall was the terrible experience we had at the Italian restaurant despite knowing 2 of our party are gluten intolerant the 2x attempts at bringing inedible stone cold (uncooked/frozen) pizza bases and then expecting to charge the full bill in full view of rest of restaurant. ##### Steven Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Laura 27 Apr 2025 Liked: Amenities Excellent location, liked the concept with plenty of options for dining across the resort and good was good. Resort had good leisure facilities, shared with all accommodation within the complex. Location is ideal for families. Property consistent with type of hotel and age. Beds were very comfortable. Staff pleasant. ##### Laura Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 25 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice place We were on a long drive home from the North Coast to Edinburgh and decided late to give up and spend the night in Aviemore. This was perfect, lovely hotel, great service, excellent filling breakfast included. And perfect location for heading up to the Cairngorm Mountain Railway the next day. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Mantas 11 Jun 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Dated, certainly not 4 star!!
