"Very disappointing"

4.0

Decor of room was nice and clean.

Some staff rude and unhelpful. Room exceptionally stuffy and hot with no air-conditioning. When asking for fan we were told none available and to open windows , which didn't! Had to wait first night 10 minutes to be noticed for seating and a further 20 to be served. Only 12 people in. They then charged a service charge! For nearly £300 a night really not worth it. Hotel looked tired, staff not trained and understaffed .

Excellent séjour au Balmoral Arms. L'hôtel est idéalement situé pour découvrir le Royal Deeside, à quelques minutes de Balmoral Castle et des magnifiques paysages des Cairngorms. La chambre était confortable et calme, le personnel accueillant et professionnel, et le petit-déjeuner de très bonne qualité. J'ai également beaucoup apprécié le dîner au restaurant de l'hôtel : les spécialités locales étaient excellentes et parfaitement préparées. Une excellente base pour explorer la région. Je n'hésiterais pas à revenir lors d'un prochain voyage en Écosse.

"Overpriced average"

3.0

The photos on booking dot com They in fairness refunded breakfast. The room facilities were in part good but not quite finished.

The reality, old semi refurbished pub / hotel batting above its weight and ability. We left with no breakfast due to the long long wait… The fact we’d spent a lot for this room as it was a special occasion but we’re sadly disappointed by the hotel and our room.
