Seems like a decent value for the price. But everything has a slight feeling of shabbiness. Someone watched TV very loudly late at night until the early morning hours.

I was nervous about staying here based on other reviews I read, but thought this hotel seemed like a good family friendly option in Aviemore. I should have listened to the reviews. We were very unhappy with our stay at this hotel. The rooms were disgusting- dirty, dingy, old, smelly and holes in the sheets. The beds were extremely uncomfortable. There is no air conditioning and the room was hot. We were able to open the window but there was no screen so bugs flew in. The whole place needs to be redone. The hotel breakfast was OK, onsite parking is a plus and the location is great, but we could not wait to get out of there.

Building needs an upgrade. Fixtures and fittings in bedroom dated and chipped. Sound proofing between rooms poor. Ordered piri piri chicken received plain roast chicken, no apology. Top money paid for substandard product. Please raise your game, letting down a fantastic setting.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
We were given a room with a connecting door and we were surrounded by bus loads of Chinese on a tour and it was so noisy i struggled to sleep . I could hear every word said by the people in the connecting room the hairdryer was so loud it may as well have been in the room with us . Then it all started up again at 6.30am , while i appreciate that the hotel cant be held responsible for the noise of other guests i do think we should not have been given a room in amongst a large bus load of people that were clearly travelling together . The adjoining door was next to the suitcase stand meaning every time they went in their suitcase it banged our door . We only arrived 45 minutes before the official check in but were made to wait again i appreciate we were a bit early but in all my travel's i never known a hotel not letting people in a little bit early as the room was clearly ready by 3.15 when we arrived so this was a bit petty .
