Macdonald Aviemore Hotel

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.

The hotel is close to shopping, public transportation, and many sights in the Cairgorm National Park. Dinner options are available to guests with reservations, and the room was as advertised.

We had a nice stay at MacDonald Aviemore! The staff was friendly and welcoming and the location was central to the shops and restaurants.

The part of the resort we stayed in whilst cleanliness couldn’t be faulted is beginning to look a bit tired. The food at the Fish Bar on the first night could have been better. There was no table check. We found the fish a little greasy but lovely chips. The room was clean and comfortable. We had breakfast both mornings and would have liked the cooked food to be a little hotter. For some reason (no explanation given) we were shown to a different part of the hotel for Sunday breakfast albeit others were shown through to where we had been the previous day. The ambiance of the Saturday morning room was far better. Again the cooked food temperature was a little wanting. Overall stay was “okay “

The room was very small for a family of 4, the bunk bed area tiny and a bad whiff of body odour. Not value for money unfortunately

Dated, certainly not 4 star!!

Can’t fault the staff and cleanliness of the hotel and facilities but the hotel itself is very tired externally. Flaking paint etc makes the building look awful and doesn’t give a good first impression for tourists. Other negative point is having to pay an extra £2.50 to get a latte out of the coffee machine at breakfast at time. This is rediculous when many low budget hotels have this included with breakfast.

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.

Pool area needs to be improved, walls and floor need to be throughly cleaned

Was okay overall but hotel was a little tired looking, bin in room wasn’t emptied and bathroom was dirty
