Macdonald Aviemore Hotel

Dirty rooms , carpets need to be replaced. Bathroom stains. Mouldy. In desperate need of renovations.

Everything is ok except the rooms which are now out dated, without aircon or ventilation. Activities are good and surroundings are amazing. But the resort and rooms need a major refurbishment.

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.

The Macdonald aviemore hotel needs some updating but generally clean and tidy. The reception staff on the day got the job done but he wasn’t very friendly. We asked for a fan to which we got a two word reply ‘no fans’. My daughter left some belongings in a drawer after we checked out and after contacting the hotel several times we have not had any response about getting them back. The housekeeping staff apparently give the room a thorough clean including the drawers and so therefore should have found the belongings. Despite giving our date of stay and room number they haven’t been in touch. This is disappointing and I would have expected more.

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.

Showing signs of wear and tear outside particularly. Staff very friendly, but overall perhaps a bit overpriced

Stayed for the weekend with the family (2 adults & 2 kids aged 8 & 6). Room was a good size and clean. Great amenities on site - playpark, cinema, swimming pool, soft play & amazing pizza at the resort's Italian restaurant.

We stayed for a couple of nights for a family getaway. The hotel was really nice, well maintained and needs we're comfy. Breakfast was good. The pool was a little smaller than expected and not very warm, but our 2 year old loved it

Hotel is dated and run down. The room had a musty smell. Breakfast buffet is awful. Staff were friendly

Confusion re what Hotel we were booked into (3 on the property). Paid extra for bunk beds and extra TV received neither ie 2 put up beds instead. Buffet breakfast very disorganised. Food kept running out, butter, milk coffee etc from a H and S prospective dangerous practice to be expected to carry hot tea and coffee from buffet to table whilst children walking about.
