"Beautiful character hotel, plenty of parking and a steam railway next door. Check-in was friendly and very efficient, the room was clean and very comfortable, and dinner was excellent- really tasty and a good choice of dishes at a fair price- one issue; put the main course on a plate- the bowl makes it tricky to use a knife and adds nothing to the dish (on the plus side, at least it wasn't on a slate or an old breadboard!). Breakfast was individually cooked and tasty, but I should have liked more than the one and a half mushrooms- next time I'll ask for a couple more! Overall, this was as near a perfect stay as one could reasonably hope for; all the staff were friendly and efficient and my small observations are not meant to detract from my visit in any way. I am looking forward to going there again later this year."

"4th time at Atholl Palace Hotel and every time does not disappoint. Can’t wait for next visit"

"The Scotlands Spa Hotel was perfect for our one night stay in Pitlochry. It's just a block off the Main Street and all the shops and within walking distance of several restaurants. The breakfast in the morning was extravagant and included everything for a full Scottish breakfast, pastries, fresh fruit, yogurt, and several other options. The beds were extremely comfortable. We had 4 adults in a family room, which was a little cramped, but we got along fine. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to use the pool, jacuzzi, or spa. It was a little pricier than what I usually choose but it was well worth it."

"Very attentive staff! Very helpful and kind!"

"Hotel was fine for us to sleep for the night. Older hotel with very creaky floors. Restaurant had good food. We were only there to sleep and eat before moving on and exploring Scotland."

"I stayed here with my 4 Yr old granddaughter the hotel and amenities were great The only downside was the food we stayed on a dinner and breakfast deal but found that the buffet lacked choice as very few options the salad bar was ok"

"Stayed for 3 nights, room was lovely, bed very comfortable. BB&E and food was amazing. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again."

"Lovely room. Great breakfast. Very accommodating staff. Close to village. "

"Wasn't up to the standard I would have expected from a Hydro Hotel, Hotel could do with some modernisation, was clean enough, but some areas look a bit worn down. Booked dinner b&b, food choices were restricted even choosing from extras available, but not from full menu, food was very mediocre. Service quite slow, no offer of drinks before meal, had to ask twice for drinks, didn't get drinks till main course. Breakfast buffet a bit better. No real staff interaction, even when booking out, not even asked if we enjoyed our stay or to have a nice day. As only one night, didn't make use of Pool or leisure facilities. Overall disapointed."
