"Great location and view of the lake. Very pleasant and professional staff. Clean, comfortable rooms. Restaurant and bar were excellent. Easy access to one of the Loch Ness boat tours. Had a lovely stay."

"Nice location near the train station. (STEAM TRAINS) Had a pleasant walk with around the area after our evening meal. Which was very nice. Breakfast was very nice."

"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."

"Such a lovely place, what a location. We first went in late 2020 and had a wonderful suite, this time we were in a standard room. We had a loch view which was lovely as we were celebrating two birthdays! The staff are so friendly, thank you all. There is a newer more modern part and the older historic building - we’ve been in the older bit both times. As the building is older, you can’t expect it to be clinical like a new build! There might be some dust in nooks and crannies but we have and will return. We ate in the restaurant, cullen skink / chicken tikka starters and Scottish stew / shish tawook main. We both enjoyed and would have again."

"Good breakfast. Very friendly staff"

"Room was clean, food not great, didn't appreciate getting my drink in a plastic pint glass"

"Decent hotel for one night"

"Plenty of parking was very nice the breakfast was excellent and the staff was very polite and attentive."

"The hotel was easy to find and has a good-sized car park. We were made very welcome and as I had completed the pre-registration on-line we could go straight to our room. The hotel serves food so we could eat there that evening. The food was good and the service was excellent. Our room was large and the bed was very comfortable."
